45 years old, I'm reinventing my beauty routine

Around the age of 45, our skin evolves and changes. The first visible signs of aging become more pronounced, and it becomes essential to adapt our skincare routine to these new requirements. But far from being a constraint, it is a great opportunity to reinvent your beauty routine and offer your skin the support it needs to stay radiant and full of life. By integrating the right active ingredients into your routine, you can continue to enhance your skin and preserve its vitality.

Everything you need to know about your skin

Several changes occur at this stage of life. The skin begins to lose its firmness, wrinkles become more visible, and cell renewal slows down. This natural process often results in a duller complexion and less uniform skin texture. At the same time, sebum production decreases, making the skin drier, thinner and sometimes more sensitive. It therefore becomes essential to integrate powerful active ingredients that stimulate skin regeneration, strengthen the skin barrier and provide long-lasting hydration.

What active ingredients should you include in your routine?

Plant Stem Cells

Plant stem cells are incredible for regenerating and repairing skin tissue. They promote the production of collagen and elastin, two essential elements for keeping skin firm and smooth. By protecting the skin from external aggressions and encouraging its renewal, they help to reduce deep wrinkles and restore the skin's elasticity.

A great product to try is Image Skincare's The Max Cream , which incorporates plant stem cells to deeply regenerate and nourish, leaving skin feeling renewed and firm.

Biomimetic Peptides

Biomimetic peptides are real little wonders for stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. They act as "messengers" that send signals to your cells to tell them to regenerate. One of the best known is Acetyl-Hexapeptide-8 , nicknamed "botox in a bottle", which is particularly effective for smoothing expression lines, without any injections!

If you want to see these peptides in action, opt for Comfort Zone's Sublime Intensive Serum , an intensive treatment that helps firm skin and reduce wrinkles for a visibly rejuvenated face.

Retinol

Retinol , a derivative of vitamin A, is a must-have for any anti-aging routine. It boosts cell turnover and stimulates collagen production, making it a great ally for smoothing wrinkles, evening out skin texture, and improving radiance. The encapsulated version of retinol allows for gentle action while maximizing results.

To benefit from its benefits, Dermalogica's Dynamic Skin Retinol Serum is an ideal option. With its encapsulated retinol, it minimizes irritation while providing deep action on the signs of aging.

Glycolic and Lactic Acids

Glycolic and lactic acids are two powerful exfoliants that help remove dead skin cells, stimulate cell turnover, and refine skin texture. Glycolic acid is perfect for those looking to improve the texture of their skin, while the gentler lactic acid provides a welcome boost of hydration.

Two products that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine are Eminence's Mangosteen Daily Resurfacing Cleanser and Comfort Zone's Sublime Skin Peel Pads . The former gently cleanses while exfoliating, while the Peel Pads provide regular exfoliation, while refining skin texture and restoring radiance.

For a more intensive action, you can try a professional chemical peel . At Glowing Skin, our Peel Perfection treatment uses these acids in the right concentration to deeply exfoliate without damaging the skin. Contrary to popular belief, professional peels are safe, and there is no intense peeling or need to stay home afterwards. You leave with visibly smoother, more radiant and more even skin.

Taking care of your skin at 45 is essential to keeping it beautiful and healthy. By incorporating active ingredients like stem cells, peptides, retinol, and glycolic and lactic acids into your routine, you are giving your skin the support it needs to continue to glow throughout the years. Aging gracefully means listening to your skin and providing it with the right care.
