The body changes over the years - unfortunately not always to our advantage. We should pay particular attention to our skin, as its needs are constantly changing. Skin care from the age of 40 should be different from that in your twenties. At idee für mich you will find skincare tips for every age. We show you which skin care is right and when.

Our largest organ, the skin, can quickly become unbalanced: Stress or worries, poor nutrition, too little sleep and too much sun: you can quickly see this on the skin. You should therefore take time for your skincare routine from the age of 30+. The motto is to think about tomorrow's skin today. Because your skin is thirsty! Thirsty for serums, ampoules, that extra kick of moisture that replenishes the moisture tanks and plumps up small wrinkles from the inside out.

Skin care after 40: tips for a youthful complexion

Nature is not always fair: from the mid-30s, the production of lipids and collagen declines sharply and the skin loses moisture and elasticity. It appears drier. This is particularly noticeable in wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. The complexion looks tired, sometimes sallow. For skin care after 40, this means: cream, cream, cream! What the skin no longer produces on its own, we give it back from the outside: cell-renewing substances such as folic acid and creatine in day and night creams, for example, which boost collagen production. Small tricks are also allowed in skin care from the age of 40: wrinkle-concealing micropigments that make the complexion appear more even.

Mature problem skin: Gently tackling spots

Hormone fluctuations can cause problem skin in particular to "blossom": Pimples and blackheads appear. However, acne-prone skin should not be treated with overly harsh products, as this puts too much strain on mature skin and also dries it out. Gentle natural products can also ensure a clearer complexion - for example masks with healing clay, which remove oil and sebum, stimulate the skin's circulation and at the same time supply it with minerals and trace elements.
