Features of choosing anti-aging face creams after 40 years

FAQ

What should be included

Good creams should contain not only oils and herbal extracts, but also peptides, vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and proteins. Expensive brands may add stem cells.

Are there any alternative options

It is important to buy cosmetics that suit the woman’s age, otherwise its effect will be zero. After 40, you need to use an anti-aging series of creams.

Where to buy products

High-quality creams can only be found in specialized stores and pharmacies. Under no circumstances purchase cosmetics from hand or in markets.

What to do if you have allergies

In this case, it is worth stopping at creams with natural composition. Now you can find cosmetics in different segments: luxury or mass market. But the first option is preferable because it is always of high quality.

Which manufacturer should you prefer?

Everything will depend on the budget. Of course, a good product cannot be cheap, but the beauty is worth it. You can also make an inexpensive cream with your own hands and use folk recipes.

What components contribute to tightening

This effect will come from creams that contain retinol, collagen, kinetin, and antioxidants. There should also be moisturizing ingredients, such as essential oils. For the results to be noticeable, you must use the product regularly for 1-2 months.

Should the season be taken into account?

This is a fairly important factor, since in the hot season it is better to use compositions with a light airy texture. Fluid creams are a good option. In winter, fattier and denser foods are needed.

The best creams after 40 years with a lifting effect

Creams with collagen, vitamins, hyaluronic acid and plant extracts give a pronounced tightening effect.

With their regular use, skin turgor increases, facial contours regain clarity, and overall rejuvenation is quickly achieved.

What cosmetologists say

Cosmetologists, like consumers, disagree on which cream is better after 40 years. But each of them claims that cosmetic products need to be selected taking into account the individual characteristics of the skin.

I like Vichy products. They specialize in making therapeutic anti-aging creams that do the job well. Creams stimulate the recovery process and the production of neocollagen. The product is not suitable for many women, but if you are one of the “lucky ones”, I recommend looking no further.

Veronica, cosmetologist

Relatively recently, I started using Belarusian cosmetics in my work. It has a good natural composition and an affordable price for many. But to get the expected result, you need to use the entire line of anti-aging products.

Natalya, dermatologist-cosmetologist

Anti-aging cosmetics from French manufacturers have always been expensive. But the cost was completely justified by the result. I use this cosmetics myself and recommend it to my clients. The face is not the case when you can experiment and save. Especially after reaching the age of forty.

Nina, cosmetologist

Cosmetics from Russian and Belarusian manufacturers are, without reason, pushed into the background, buying expensive cosmetics from foreign brands instead. Our specialists take the quality of their products seriously, which is why they are often even better than expensive cosmetic products. I'm a fan of Black Pearl. It acts slowly, but for a long time.

Love, cosmetologist

Dear ladies! Try the line from the Olei company. The price is significantly lower than luxury brands, but it works no worse than them. Olya creams contain UV filters, which are very important for our skin.

Anna, cosmetologist

I advise all my clients to regularly and persistently take care of their skin after reaching the age of forty. It is best to use one line, since its products complement each other's actions. Use not only creams, but also scrubs and peels. Domestic manufacturers offer a large selection of such cosmetics at very affordable prices, so the beauty and youth of your face now depends only on your desire. Also, do not forget that the skin reflects the internal state of our body, so I recommend that women reconsider their habits, diet, quality and quantity of fluid consumed.
