The best anti-aging skin care advice I have for men and women in their 40s is consistency, patience and the right skincare regimen.

Our skin changes as we age – it’s a fact. This is why our skincare regimen should also change. Wrinkles, pigmentations, and sagging start to appear and we slowly lose the natural glow, plumpness, and skin volume we used to have.

 

Good news! These easy-to-follow steps will help you delay aging. Remember, the earlier we start anti-ageing, the better. But if you only learn to start at 40, then no worries because I have the perfect recommendation for you.

 

As we need more nourishment, skin regimen for women after 40 increases. Here, is my easy 5-step skincare routine using Mary Kay Timewise Volu-firm Skincare. I have segregated the morning and evening regimen for you to follow.

Its Active Ingredients: 

• Hyaluronic Acid booster
• Collagen
• Plant Stem Cells (Gotu Kola plant extracts )

 

Morning Regimen:

 

Step 1: Cleanse 

Wash your face using the Timewise Repair Volu-firm foaming Cleanser every day, morning and night.

 

Put a small amount of the cleanser on your palm, lather the cleanser with water, and spread to your 5 focal points: chin, nose, cheeks, and forehead then lather using an upward-outward motion from chin to forehead. Do this for 2-3 minutes or until your whole face is cleansed. Rinse and pat dry.

 

The benefit of this step: Cleanses your skin while keeping moisture balanced. Revitalizes and Renews skin radiance and promotes a feeling of suppleness.

 

 

 

Step 2: Lift

Apply Timewise Repair Volu-firm Advanced Lifting Serum to lift, improve firmness, and level-up the moisture of your skin.

 

Put a small amount on your beauty fingers and apply directly on your face in an upward outward motion. Wait until it is fully absorbed before applying the next step.

 

The benefit of this step: Helps your skin recover the firmness of youth. Restores the volume and vibrancy and softens the look of lines and wrinkles.

 

 

Step 3: Moisturize and Protect

Nourish and hydrate your skin with Timewise Repair Volu-firm Day Cream with SPF 30. This moisturizing cream melts into your skin for all-day hydration. Apply this every day, morning even inside your home to ensure an intensified anti-aging process.

 

The benefit of this step: The powerful ingredients in this day cream inhibits the skin glycation of the aging-process of the skin. It helps retain an even skin tone and minimizes the skin’s reaction to external irritants such as pollution, sun rays, and other environmental factors.

 

According to the National Institute on Aging, limiting your exposure to the sun and using sunscreen is essential to keep your skin healthy. Click the full article here.

 

 

Step 4: Protection

Apply Mary Timewise 3D Luminous Foundation for a flawless-looking complexion. I recommend the luminous formula as it provides better coverage and leaves skin hydrated for up to 12 hours which every woman in this age group needs. This weightless foundation blends seamlessly to all skin tones – even Filipinas.

 

 

Step 5: Finish

Dash some Sheer Mineral foundation to finish off your skincare before putting on your make-up.

 

Evening Regimen: 

 

Step 1: Cleanse 

Wash your face using the Timewise Repair Volu-firm foaming cleanser for 2-3 minutes. Rinse and Pat dry.

 

 

Step 2: Exfoliation

Lift the dead skin using Timewise Microdermabrasion set 2-3 times a week.

Use Microdermabrasion Refine. Put a small amount of the product on your beauty fingers and apply on your 5 focal points while your skin is still wet. Scrub your face gently from the chin, cheeks, nose, and forehead using a circular motion. Do this for 2-3 minutes or until you have scrubbed your whole face; Rinse with lukewarm water and tap dry.

 

Step 3: Smoothen

Use Microdermabrasion Pore Minimizer. Put a pea size of the product to your fingers and dab them to your five focal points then gently spread. Wait until its fully absorbed before applying the next Step.

 

 

Exfoliate 2-3 times a week with 2-nights in between. Do not do this every day. 

 

The benefit of this step: Microdermabrasion gently buffs away dead skin cells and remove the pore build-up using micro fine exfoliating crystals. This is exactly the same ingredients used in derma clinics but a more gentle formula so you can do it yourself at the convenience of your own home – especially at this time where we are required to stay home.

The smoothing serum significantly helps reduce the visibility of pores and leaves skin feeling silky.

 

 

Step 4: Lift 

Apply Timewise Repair Volu-firm Advanced Lifting Serum to lift, improve firmness, and level-up the moisture of your skin.

 

Step 5: Moisturize 

 

Apply Timewise Repair Volu-firm Night Treatment with Retinol before you sleep. Put a small amount of the product on your beauty fingers, apply to your 5-focal points, and spread gently using upward-outward motion.

 

The benefit of this step: Fights the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles while you sleep. It has encapsulated Retinol which helps accelerate cell turn-over. Pomegranate, Cinnamon Bark, and Marine Botanicals that replenish the hydration of your skin and helps even out skin tone. It targets the deep fines lines and wrinkles for young-looking skin.

The products can last up to 4 months depending on your usage. Remember that they are highly concentrated so less product goes a long way.

 

Step 6: Eye cream

Use Timewise Repair Eye Cream. Squeeze the product directly under your eye area and gently tap with its head applicator from outer to the inner under-eye area until fully absorbed.

 

The Result: 

After 12 weeks of continued use, this premium and luxurious skincare can deliver noticeably younger skin with decreased appearance of wrinkles and deep lines. Skin is hydrated, more firm and smoother.
