Face cream after 40 years
The skin of the face in women over 40 is no longer as elastic and toned as in youth. New wrinkles appear in the corners of the eyes, in the nasolabial part, on the cheeks and neck. On the shelves of stores there is a wide selection of various creams for the restoration and rejuvenation of the epidermis, but not all of them are equally useful. When choosing a product, you need to rely on the composition, and not on a bright label.
Skin Features
At the age of 40, women experience a restructuring of hormones in the body, which almost always leads to atrophic processes in the structure of the skin. Cellular renewal is slower than in youth, and it may take a whole month, and sometimes more. Thickening of the skin leads to looseness of the upper layer of the epidermis, and therefore moisture from it evaporates for a very long time.
The production of collagen fibers is destroyed and decreases, female sex hormones decrease.
The skin ages and fades, and therefore the main signs during this period are:
• Too dry and thin skin;
• Increase in the number of wrinkles;
• Faded complexion;
• Appearance of pigmentation;
• Decreased elasticity and firmness;
• Deformation of the contour of the face;
• Omission of the skin.
In order to prevent aging, a woman must adhere to certain rules. The way she treats her health will be reflected in her appearance.If you do not make attempts to maintain the tone and freshness of the face, then you can visually throw yourself a few years.
Therefore, in addition to cosmetic procedures, an adult lady should use decorative cosmetics (mascara, powder, foundation and lipstick).
Care instructions
Experts recommend that women over forty adhere to certain rules when caring for their skin. It is necessary to observe the regime of the day, constantly take care of the face and eat right. Compliance with the daily routine is necessary to renew skin cells. This process only happens during sleep, so getting enough sleep is important. But this does not mean that you need to devote most of the day to sleep.
You just need to go to bed and get up at the same time.
Facial skin care consists in regular cleansing, moisturizing and nourishing all layers of the epidermis. It is better to wash your face with a special milk, and apply an anti-aging cream at night. Eating right is useful at any age, but it is especially important in the period after 40 years. Fatty, salty, starchy foods and sodas have a bad effect on the condition of the skin of the face. The main enemy of a beautiful skin color is smoking. This bad habit is the main cause of wrinkles.
When caring for the skin around the eyes and eyelids, you need to pay attention to the composition of the chosen product. For example, a face serum or cream marked 40+ contains hyaluronic acid and vitamins that help improve the condition of the epidermis.
Very often, in adulthood, female representatives resort to rejuvenation procedures. They do contouring, peeling, deep facial cleansing, lifting and all kinds of masks. To maintain youth, women should regularly visit cosmetologists.
The composition of creams
It is very important to purchase a cream that will suit the condition of the skin in terms of composition. What is good for young girls is unacceptable for adult ladies. For them, cosmetics should perform other functions: restoring youth, nourishing cells and saturating all layers of the epidermis with useful substances.
Anti-aging creams should consist of:
• Vegetable oils with a moisturizing effect;
• Hyaluronic acid and glycine, which protect and retain moisture inside the cells;
• Vitamins that can saturate the skin with useful substances. They give them the appearance of naturalness and health;
• Coenzyme Q10. It is used for skin rejuvenation;
• Liquid collagen, which penetrates the cells and gives them elasticity;
• Proteins that help fight old age;
• Natural components with nutritional and rejuvenating properties;
• Peptides;
• Fruit and lactic acids.
You can choose the right effective cream by determining your skin type. For example, for combination skin, you can not pick up a greasy product. It must contain natural ingredients: chamomile, sage and vegetable oils. Day care should moisturize and remove oily sheen, and night care should restore and nourish.
Owners of dry skin need to use moisturizers that will retain moisture inside the epidermis.
Selection advice
Cosmetologists and dermatologists advise ladies who are over forty years old to buy creams and ointments, based on some of their properties. So, decorative cosmetics should have a sunscreen function. After all, solar radiation has a harmful effect on the skin at any time of the year.It should also replenish the water balance, promote tissue regeneration and tone the skin.
Also, experts recommend choosing a product that includes moisturizing fluids. But for oily skin, you need to use cosmetics that have an anti-inflammatory effect, so as not to aggravate already existing problems (pimples and blackheads).
It is very important to know the composition and purpose of a particular cream. Some components have a beneficial effect on the epidermis only at night, and some are able to reduce wrinkles during the day. And you can not buy cosmetics that are not suitable for the age of a woman. Each age includes a certain composition that promotes healing and restoration of the skin.
It is worth buying anti-aging cosmetics only in trusted stores so as not to fall for a fake. Poor-quality lotions will only bring harm. Therefore, you need to remember that these funds are in pharmacies or in specialized stores. The label must be clear and the text on it must be easy to read. And, of course, the packaging must be intact.
If women prefer to carry out rejuvenation procedures with folk remedies, then cosmetologists advise to carefully study the properties of all components of scrubs and masks. After all, not all of them are equally good for young and mature skin.

Reviews
Almost all cosmetic brands focus on the production of goods for women after 40 years. The prices of funds are different (from 100 r to 10 thousand r), but the cost is not always equal to the quality. For example, creams from well-known brands such as Lancome, Chanel and Clarins, according to users, have a high cost, but are produced in unhygienic packaging.
Russian and Belarusian manufacturers have proven themselves well: Vitex and Black Pearl. Their cosmetics have a democratic price, but have the same effect as imported products.
But still, the best users call pharmacy lines of creams from brands such as Evalar and Kora. They contain natural ingredients that do not cause allergic reactions and are able to repel ultraviolet rays.
According to adult women, it is possible to fight with withering of the skin of the face, neck and eyelids only in combination. It is necessary to moisturize problem areas daily, make nourishing masks and use night and day anti-aging products. In addition to cosmetic procedures, women at the age of forty should adhere to proper nutrition, stop drinking alcohol and smoking. Only by following all these recommendations is it possible to preserve youth and rid the face of mimic wrinkles and pigmentation.

I am also 40+. I really like how the Urokr EM5 cream cares for the skin: it softens and moisturizes. Skin looks rejuvenated after application.
I didn't use creams until I was 40. But how it got over, it became. The skin suddenly became not so elastic. Small wrinkles appeared. Gel-lifting "Total" tightens the skin, smoothes wrinkles. The skin is smooth. The cream approached me: it does not dry and did not cause irritation.
