In Your 40′s

Ah, life begins to catch up with us – sun damage and skin care regime neglect become more obvious. This is the decade to begin to take your skin care very seriously. Decades of sun damage show up as blotchiness, excessive redness, broken capillaries (telangiectasias) and brown or red spots. As in the late 30’s the skin looks and feels dehydrated, has less elasticity and often appears dull. Fine lines and wrinkles are deeper and more noticeable.
