Tips for the 40-50+ Beauties

Women should embrace the ageing process. With the right skin care and makeup, watch yourself grow older beautifully! Expert Ole Henriksen shares tips for women ages 40+-50+. If you’re young, share with your mothers and lola’s the good news!

With each passing decade, the skin becomes drier especilly when going from 40+-50+. At the same time the collagen in the dermis layer has become less soluble, which manifests itself in more obvious expression lines and some lost skin elasticity. Tips:

1. Use richer-textured creams therefore and switch permanently to a lotion cleanser based on a high concentration of essential fatty acids. That makes a big difference. And don’t forget products with SPF!

2. Avoid using shimmers and glitter in your overall makeup look. Shimmers will only define the fine lines and wrinkles of a face. For example, when contouring, you would want to reduce the appearance of a round face using a matte bronzer, and with highlighting, you would want to define or bring out a feature say, your cheekbones, right? With this analogy, if you use shimmery shades, it will only highlight and define those lines. This is the time to go all-matte.

3. Avoid “trendy” colors. Neutral shades and dark, lipcolors look classy and age-appropriate on aged women. It’s time to set aside bright lip colors! These women should apply makeup to soften their look, even out their skin tone and to impart a glow to the skin. Often women above 40 years make the mistake of using wrong hair color. It is up to you whether to keep your original hair color or opt for hair dye. In case of any confusion, you must consult a hair expert to determine the best course of action. This will help you to choose a hair color that will make you look rejuvenated and fresh.
