Skincare Routine for Men in Their 40’s

In a world where technologies evolve faster than you can say ‘skincare’, the possibilities for maintaining a healthy, glowing appearance are numerous. Thankfully, information has never been more accessible. Plus, products have never been ampler – so putting together a sustained and researched skincare routine has never been easier.

But when is the right time to begin? And more importantly, how will you know which skincare rules are an absolute must, and which are there to confuse you? After all, in your 40’s, the world is your oyster! Here’s our short guide about everything a 40 year-young man needs to know about skincare.

How will you know which skincare rules are an absolute must, and which are there to confuse you?

Your Skin in its 40’s

Your skin’s health in your 40’s is a combination of mindfulness, lifestyle, and a good skincare routine. Like many men, you may have neglected thinking of your skin until this point in your life. People often think that only women are in need of a skincare routine. Yet there is a growing awareness among men and healthcare scientists that men’s skin is just as much in need of care as women’s.

In your 40’s you will begin to notice signs of age. These are results of processes that have been going on since your 20’s and are now becoming more prominent. They include wrinkles, especially in the corners of your eyes, drier, more brittle, or leathery skin, dark spots. Skin conditions, like rashes, are likely to become more frequent or severe. The skin’s ability to hydrate and defend itself against infections and UV radiation decreases by this age. Collagen, a key skin protein, begins to decrease in the 20’s and by our 40’s this causes a loosening and thinning of the skin. Your skin produces less elastin and the oil and sweat glands are not as efficient in cooling, hydrating, and cleansing the skin.

If you haven’t already, your 40’s is the time you took a closer look at your skin and pick up that skincare routine.

4 Tips for your 40’s

At this stage in our life, growing brand-new skin can be a bit of a challenge, but we can grow more skincare aware. Here are four tips that can get you started.

Sunscreen that Skin!

Regardless of location, season and weather, UV rays are harmful. The rays constantly barrage our skin, accelerate the natural aging process, and cause or increase many of the conditions mentioned above. In their 40’s, men should start wearing light facial sunscreen on a daily basis. Skin protected from unnecessary exposure to UV rays is better at repairing itself.

Cleans for Better Defense!

Cleaner skin can breathe, hydrate, and stay freshers during the day, rejuvenates during the night, and is better at absorbing skincare products. Splashing your face in the morning is no longer enough. It’s important to use a facial cleanser twice daily. Choose a cleanser that is engineered for men. Ideally, one that removes oil and grime, exfoliates and soothes the skin, and prepares the skin for shaving.

Moisturize Without Compromise!

The best moisturizers pack the essentials of a targeted skincare routine into a single bottle of face cream. In this respect, Particle’s face cream for men is a masterpiece of moisturizing science. It nourishes and hydrates the skin with a powerful combination of moisturizing ingredients. These include vitamins and oils, natural ingredients like glycerin, lactic acid, and shea butter, Dead Sea minerals, and collagen-boosting Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate and skin-regenerating coffee-seed extracts.

Don’t Wait – Just Hydrate!

Hydrate from the inside out by increasing your daily water intake. This will immediately improve the efficiency with which your skin expels toxins, resulting in cleaner skin. Drinking enough water, about two and a half liters a day improves digestion and blood flow, which also affects the skin for the better.

Final Thoughts on your Forties

Awareness is key. Our skin is regularly subjected to environmental damage. We are often blasted by a rich variety of seductive substances while fashionable lifestyles wear down our bodies with taxing work-and-party routines. All these eventually leave their mark on our skin. Yet, the first and key step for men toward healthier skin is getting in the right mindset. Your 40’s is the time to introduce some moderation and calculation into your lifestyle, establishing a regime of targeted skincare, environmental mindfulness, better diet, sleeping habits, and exercise. And we are here to do precisely that. So, mind that skin, men!
