5 Tips For Glowing Skin After 40

1.     Hydration

Just to start with the very basics, drinking water is crucial at every age though it can’t be emphasized enough. Hydration is the most important demand of the body that affects brain functions, improves physical performance, stimulates digestion and bowel functions and even helps in weight loss. Sound like clichés, but paying special attention to these details will result surprisingly radical changes inside and out.

2.     Stress release and energy boost

Implementing a gentle face and neck massage into your daily skin care routine can be a complete game changer with visible results in a few weeks. Apply your favourite moisturizer with circular hand movements starting from your chin, up to the centre of your forehead. Continue with gliding your hands down on each side of your face and start it over for about twelve times. As a finish, slide your hands up and down on your neck under the chin repeating it twelve times also. It will relax facial muscles while stimulating blood flow, hence reviving skin’s glow.

3.     The ideal way of cleansing

In order to help the skin absorb as much nutrients from skin care products as possible, using a cleanser that contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) is essential. Regardless of your skin type, these can boost cell reproduction and rids the skin of dirt and excess surface oil. In addition, investing in a good cleanser saves you time and money from purchasing separate exfoliating products and scrubs.

4.     Staying healthy inside and out

As we mentioned above, the nutrients we take into our body have key effects on our appearance. A diet rich in hydrating whole foods is indispensable to keep up a strong, good-conditioned body. In favour of having a glowing skin, it’s recommended to avoid both processed and packed junk foods full of chemicals, additives and sugar that can be responsible for causing skin inflammation or bad gut bacteria for instance.

5.     Always consult with an expert

Finding out what skin type you have and what products you should apply on it is sometimes a hard mission. If you seek for a healthy, nourished skin, it’s suggested to consult with an expert who has experience not only in knowing the best skin care products but also treating special skin problems and even working with minimally invasive treatments like Botox®, Juvederm® and other fillers.

Last but not least, self-love is an essential thing to acquire and apply every day. Remember, those soft creases around your eyes and mouth only show how much you’ve smiled in your life. For professional consultation and treatments, don’t hesitate to write us to info@cocoonmedicalspa.com.
