Healthy aging on steroids ;)
Expensive but I like to do splurge/save items. This one is worth it, I got the neck mask too and also use on my stomach and other areas
Medical-Grade LED Light Therapy At Home by Omnilux
I used and loved this for awhile but needed something a little less expensive after some life changes. Loved the results though and would definitely use again!! The eye cream is amazinggg
OneSkin: Topical Products for Healthy Aging
This one helps with those smile lines and forehead lines a lot, and overall texture and brightness/radiance of the skin. Big improvement with this one!
P-TIOX Anti-Wrinkle Serum - SkinCeuticals
Nighttime is when you need to let your skin soak up all the moisture… this is a great option when it comes to anti-aging night care
Eight Saints Up the Anti Night Face Cream
Exfoliation
Exfoliation is key for smooth, radiant, youthful-looking skin. As we age, skin turnover slows down, leading to dullness, uneven texture, and buildup. Gentle, consistent exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, boost glow, improve product absorption,...
Don’t skip exfoliation, it helps keep your skin bright!
Dr.Melaxin - Amazon.com
Retinol is an important ingredient you won’t want to skip in your regimen!! This is a little more pricey than the ordinary, below.
Clinical Retinol - Age Defying Products - RoC® Skincare
These products are clean and a great price. I love the HLA, salicylic acid for zapping spots, the retinol (.5% first then build up to 2%), must have the multi peptide + copper for “advanced age support”
The Ordinary | Clinical Formulations with Integrity
This stuff makes my skin soo soft, I got the duo which has the black rice also— definitely recommend trying these out! It basically removes the top layer of your dead skin and you rub it right off.. and the other helps clean out your pores!
Dr.Melaxin Peel Shot Glow White Rice Ampoule
If you don’t have a good exfoliation routine in your 40s then what are you even doing? Choose your percentage!
SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant - Paula's Choice
Glow/Hydration/Collagen
You know how you dry out sometimes on flights. Or just need that extra moisture? This is a good one to help with that! Love the name too :)
Jet Lag™ Collection - Summer Fridays
This is like a collagen mask in a bottle… so glad skin in a bottle essentially! Peptides— all the rage and I see why.
BIODANCE Pore Perfecting Collagen Serum
I love collagen masks! Korean skincare is amazing— these masks definitely help to achieve a more “glass skin” look that so may Koreans have.
Biodance | Unmask Your Own Glow
This is one I haven’t tried but it sounds like a winner!
Shop The Blue Cocoon - May Lindstrom Skin
Sun protection
Love this vitamin c for protection. It is the best bc it doesn’t ball up and get a weird texture underneath any other products. It just absorbs right in, definitely a splurge item but it lasts a long time!
Vitamin C Serums With Antioxidants | SkinCeuticals
I skipped face sunscreen for many years and now I’m trying to be more intentional about using it at least on days I’ll be in the sun at peak times. High quality.
Chase The Sun | Eight Saints Skincare
Anti Aging for the eyes
These are great eye patches and can be used around the face too— think smile lines and forehead! Noticed improvements after just 2-3 weeks of use! I do think these are a pretty good price for the amount you receive.
BIODANCE Collagen Peptide Eye Patches
Snail peptide eye cream has become popular too 😳
COSRX Snail Mucin Peptide Eye Cream 0.84oz
This is a cool one because the retinol is safe and gentle enough for the under eye area, def helps.
RETINOL CORREXION® Line Smoothing Eye Cream
Body Care
This has helped with age spots/freckles on my hands… may start using on my arms as well. Pro tip: you don’t need a lot — but first moisturize with lotion and then this will last longer.
Retinol Body Lotion - drmtlgy
Acne Prone
I have cleared my acne but know this is a good one if it’s a problem for you.
PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Wash
