How to take care of yourself when a woman is 40 years old

Generally speaking, after the age of 30, the moisture and collagen in the skin will be lost to a certain extent, and chloasma and wrinkles will begin to appear on the face. The focus of maintenance after the age of 40 should be on delaying aging and nourishing. These 5 methods can solve the problem of dull skin, help fade spots, and reduce dry skin.

How should women over 40 take care of themselves?

1. Massage the parts

The skin around the eyes is very sensitive. After the age of 40, the eye area becomes seriously aging, and dark circles, wrinkles around the eyes, and skin sagging and dryness are very likely to occur. Choose nourishing eye essence according to skin type to avoid the release of protective ingredients that can penetrate deep into the skin immediately. At the same time, it is necessary to do a good job of sun protection around the eyes to prevent ultraviolet light from damaging them and slow down the aging rate. Use the eye patch about 2 to 3 times a week. You can choose an eye patch with lifting, firming, moisturizing and hydrating functions. In addition, before going to bed every night, use the fingertips to apply an appropriate amount of eye patch, and tap around the eyes about 6 times to promote blood circulation in the area.

2. Apply nourishing skin care products

Women over 40 will have a lack of water and oil, so they must replenish skin cells with sufficient water and oil to help lock in the essence and moisture of all aspects of the skin. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin that protects the skin and locks in moisture. Try to choose a day cream with higher nourishing properties to improve the skin's ability to hydrate. When choosing skin care products, focus on the nourishment, which can slow down the body's metabolism rate, and then cooperate with the massage method to accelerate the skin's absorption of the product and maintain the skin's moisture.

3. Maintain a regular schedule

Usually, you should get up early and go to bed early, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and minerals, and avoid the harm caused by ultraviolet light and secondhand smoke. Develop a good habit of cleansing your face in the morning, noon and evening, and apply moisturizer immediately after washing your face. Do not remove the stratum corneum frequently to avoid damaging the epidermis. Do not choose a makeup remover that is too cleansing, and do not use warm water to wash your face even in cold weather, otherwise it will damage the epidermis.

Friendly reminder

As the saying goes, a smile makes you look ten years younger. If you maintain a positive attitude, women will look radiant. Do not use too hot water to take a bath, otherwise it will take away the oil on the surface of the skin, and the skin will enter a aging state prematurely due to lack of moisture. Quit the bad habits of smoking and drinking. The harmful substances in tobacco will accelerate skin aging. The antioxidants contained in honey water can promote gastrointestinal motility and help excrete toxins and waste from the body. Maintain a regular schedule, avoid staying up late, and exercise more to promote blood circulation throughout the body.
