Skin care in your 40s should continue to consist of cleansing, toning and moisturizing twice daily. Stay out of the sun and apply sunblock. You can make a big difference to the appearance of your skin by having a great skin care regime which helps cell turnover, stimulation of collagen, hydration of the skin and improved skin texture and moisture.
This is the period in your life when you start noticing thinning out and sagging of the skin due to a loss of collagen and elastin levels. Use good quality treatments that contain high levels of antioxidants. You can find lipids in nut oils and vegetable oil, this is a great method for replenishing declining oil levels in our skin as we get older. Make sure you continue to use eye cream specifically created for the delicate under the eye area. Ingredients that are useful include: lactic acid, vitamins A, C and E and hyaluronan acid.

Receiving low levels of light treatment like Omnilux, is great for removing age spots. Start using satin pillowcases at night to avoid skin creases.
