Specifically, lower collagen production, depletion of hyaluronic acid&nbsp;and elastic&nbsp;fibers loss. As we progress through our 40s, our skin becomes drier and fine lines and wrinkles&nbsp;can&nbsp;become more apparent. Fun, right? The good news is that skincare can help us diminish the signs of aging with a consistent morning and evening anti-aging routine.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Genetics_versus_lifestyle\"><\/span><strong>Genetics versus lifestyle&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to aging in your&nbsp;40s, genetics accounts for aging by 20%; 80% is lifestyle. The latter includes sun exposure, smoking, alcohol consumption and diet.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_ingredients_for_your_skincare_routine_in_your_40s\"><\/span><strong>Key ingredients for your skincare routine in your 40s<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Retinoids&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Retinoids are Vitamin A&nbsp;derivatives&nbsp;and this group includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/doctors-notes\/retinal-vs-retinol\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Retinol and Retinal<\/a>, and provitamin A carotenoids. Retinol cream is the most common form of this type of Vitamin A, although it can also be found in a serum or oil format. There\u2019s also Retinal, which is&nbsp;more&nbsp;effective at stimulating collagen production than&nbsp;Retinol, yet it&#8217;s gentler on your skin. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/redefine-intensive-renewing-serum\/p\/AASRI60\">REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum<\/a>&nbsp;is formulated with Retinal-MD Technology and comes in single-use, biodegradable capsules. When using products formulated with Retinoids, it\u2019s best to avoid prolonged sun exposure. Because of that, it\u2019s recommended to use these products in your PM routine.&nbsp;Always take sun safety measures, specifically, using an SPF daily. The sun is the #1 cause of aging when it comes to skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bakuchiol<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/science-of-skincare\/what-is-bakuchiol-and-is-it-better-than-retinol\/\">Bakuchiol<\/a> is a plant-derived ingredient&nbsp;whose skin benefits are comparable to a Retinol, but without the potential side effect&nbsp;of irritation.&nbsp;So,&nbsp;it\u2019s good for those with sensitive skin. Some forms of Retinol are indeed derived from animal products. Bakuchiol is derived from the psoralea&nbsp;corylifolia&nbsp;plant, also known as the&nbsp;babchi&nbsp;plant. It\u2019s important to check the origins of the Bakuchiol in your products.&nbsp;Rodan&nbsp;+ Fields\u2019&nbsp;sources&nbsp;the Bakuchiol featured in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/redefine-overnight-restorative-cream\/p\/AAPM030\">REDEFINE Overnight Restorative Cream<\/a>&nbsp;from edible seeds of&nbsp;babchi&nbsp;that are obtained sustainably, in compliance with ethical harvesting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Peptides<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peptides have an effect on&nbsp;improving&nbsp;skin\u2019s&nbsp;visible&nbsp;firmness, texture and bounce. Peptides trigger your skin cells to perform functions like building collagen and elastin, which can help your skin look and act younger. Peptides are proteins, like&nbsp;collagen, which are your anti-aging defense. Collagen can\u2019t exist without Peptides. In other words, without&nbsp;collagen, your skin doesn\u2019t have a defense against aging.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peptides are one of the few skincare components that scientists and dermatologists agree make a difference when it comes to combating the&nbsp;visible&nbsp;signs of aging \u2014 wrinkles, fine lines and loss of firmness. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/blog\/science-of-skincare\/what-are-peptides-in-skincare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Peptides\u2019 benefits<\/a> go beyond the short-term. This tried-and-true ingredient has stood the test of time in the skincare realm and is still recommended by dermatologists. Peptides offer a range of&nbsp;demonstrable&nbsp;benefits to&nbsp;your skin, from making it stronger to giving it more resilience. In short, they can be a great addition to your skincare routine in your 40s.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_importance_of_SPF\"><\/span><strong>The importance of SPF<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suncare&nbsp;is important from a preventative standpoint. Skin damage created by this point may or may not be able to be addressed, but you can always have an impact on how your skin ages in the future if you take care of it. The most vital part of your&nbsp;Regimen when it comes to preventative skincare is sunscreen. It\u2019s the single skincare step you should never skip. \u201cYou can use the greatest anti-aging products that have ever been created, but if you aren\u2019t sun protected, you undo all of that hard work,\u201d Dr. Kathy Fields says. \u201cToday we are assaulted from the environment in ways we didn\u2019t imagine before, she says. Not just with the sun, but also with nanoparticles and lights of different intensities,\u201d Dr. Kathy Fields adds.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sun\u2019s rays are directly associated with aging. \u201cSun exposure is the skin\u2019s worst enemy,\u201d Dr. Katie&nbsp;Rodan&nbsp;says. UVA is the aging wavelength of light, and it\u2019s&nbsp;present&nbsp;all year round, all day long. \u201cIt deeply penetrates the skin, breaking down collagen,\u201d Dr. Katie&nbsp;Rodan&nbsp;says. UVB is the burning ray that destroys the epidermis. It burns the surface of the skin, causing redness and potentially, skin cancers. eventually skin cancers. \u201cWhether it is cloudy, rainy, or bright, you need your sun protection every day because every day is \u2018sunday\u2019 as far as your skin is concerned,\u201d Dr. Katie&nbsp;Rodan&nbsp;says.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Importance_of_a_routine\"><\/span><strong>The Importance of a routine&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By your 40s, you probably know about the Importance of a routine, but we want to remind you because it\u2019s easy to forget when life gets busy! Apply your skincare routine twice a day \u2014 morning and night \u2014 to see results. In that vein, make sure to do all the steps in your routine, as each step builds upon the last. With consistent use of the entire routine, you can expect to see visible results on your skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_best_skincare_routine_for_your_40s\"><\/span><strong>Your best skincare routine for your 40s<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1: Facial Cleanser&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A facial cleanser is important for you to use every evening to remove makeup, dirt and oil. Your cleanser of choice can also gently exfoliate with AHAs or Alpha Hydroxy Acids to help slough off dead skin cells. Depending on your skin, you want to exfoliate 1-3 times per week.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2: Toner<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toner helps with softening your skin and enabling penetration for the ingredients that follow in the next step. Toners also serve to cleanse your pores.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3: Eye Cream&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eye creams for thinning under eye area help stave off the visible effects of aging. The eye area shows signs of aging first. Think crow\u2019s feet, dark circles, under eye bags. To counteract the visible signs of aging near the eyes, it\u2019s important to use an eye cream like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/redefine-multi-function-eye-cream\/p\/AAEY015\">REDEFINE Multi-Function Eye Cream<\/a>, morning and night.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 4: Face Serum&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This step is optional if your skincare goals include either deeper hydration or a potent boost of retinoids. For hydration, try Active Hydration Serum. For a Retinal serum, try REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 5: Cream or Lotion with SPF<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your moisturizer, whether you choose a cream or lotion, helps provide antiaging benefits, in addition to skin-restoring moisturization. Added SPF helps protect your skin from the elements that can lead to the visible effects of aging.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though it can be tempting, especially when you\u2019re tired, do not skip any steps in your routine. Each step builds upon the next.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorporate_a_healthy_diet_and_exercise_program\"><\/span><strong>Incorporate a healthy diet and exercise program<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Committing to at least an hour and a half of exercise a week goes a long way. You may want to try keeping track of your steps either by a smartwatch or an app on your phone and aim for reaching 10,000 steps a day at a minimum.&nbsp;Also, remember to drink plenty of water. It can be helpful to have a water reminder on your phone or smartwatch to help keep you hydrated.&nbsp;Sticking to a healthy routine will pay off when it comes to your skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_will_you_see_results\"><\/span><strong>When will you see results?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It typically takes about four weeks to begin to see the results of any skincare routine. That\u2019s with consistent use, every morning and night. Using your full Regimen twice a day and being careful not to skip steps will help you achieve your anti-aging skincare goals and see the best results for your skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many of us, big birthdays are a major marker \u2014 and we may notice changes&nbsp;with&nbsp;our skin as compared&nbsp;to&nbsp;the last decade.
