Face Skin Care in Your 40’s
Your Skin in Your 40’s
In your 40’s your genetic aging code has kicked in. This means that your skin now produces an excess of free radicals. These are the leading cause of aging. They are highly reactive unstable molecules that damage cells and the collagen and elastin in your skin. Collagen and elastin are responsible for a firm, smooth and resilient skin. When they break down wrinkles start appearing and the skin looses its firmness and starts to sag. To counteract the excess of free radicals that leads to aging there are at the moment two methods. We recommend using both.
1. Adding antioxidants to the skin is the better known method. Antioxidants are molecules that have a excess of electrons. And so they disable the free radicals, which cannot do any harm to the skin at that point. However, antioxidants become used up in this process.
2. Stopping the skin’s excess production of free radials is new breakthrough technology. A particular substance is added that makes sure the skin does not produce the excess free radicals it normally would due to genetic activation. This is a more effective method than that of adding antioxidants. However, since free radicals also come from the surroundings it is good to add antioxidants in your skin care regime.
Your skin turn over rate is reduced as compared to your 30’s. To avoid rough and dull looking skin you should exfoliate 2-3 times a week.
Another new aspect is the fact that your skins ability to keep moisture is greatly diminished. Your 40# skin becomes slightly thinner and dryer than in your 30’s. You should use both a serum and a moisturizer in your daily skin care routine. A serum is made from smaller molecules and has the ability to reach deeper into your skin than a regular moisturizer.

Daily Skin Care Regimen
Unless you need a particular treatment, such as those outlined below, we recommend you use mild products that do not introduce toxins into your body. Click here to see an excellent toxin free skin care line.
Each night before going to bed make sure you use:
- Creamy cleanser
- Toner
- Serum
- Moisturizer
If you have very oily skin, you will want to cleanse, tone, and moisturize your face again in the morning. Otherwise, just use a moisturizer. Before heading out put on sun protection (SPF 15-20). Do not forget to put some sunscreen on your neck as well.
Make sure your daily skin regimen products contain antioxidants, preferably more than one type. The toxic free skin care line we recommend contains potent antioxidants. In fact, it contains antioxidants that are 30 times more potent than those of green tea (wildly used in skin care). These products also have collagen building and anti inflammatory ingredients.
At night you may want to use a cream with retinol. This will help boost your collagen, add firmness and diminish wrinkles in time.

Rejuvenate You Face at Some Point
At some point in your 40’s, consider doing the 180° Turn Around Treatment. This is a very effective treatment that will give you a “new face” within a month. You may continue using that program for 6 months. During that time you should make sure you have a good moisturizer and hydrating masks handy. You should also abstain from doing the Galvanic Treatments.
The 180° program is an excellent alternative to the more harsh and invasive treatments such as dermabrasion and chemical peels.
Particular Skin Issues
Rough, Uneven Skin Texture
Exchange your regular daily skin care regimen for the 180° System. It will re-texturize your skin. Do not do any galvanic treatments during this time, as your skin may be too sensible.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Do spot treatments twice a day with the Galvanic system and the Line Corrector gel on the areas with lines or wrinkles. This is an intense treatment that yields clear results within a month.
