Dry and dull skin in your 40s is a natural result of aging and hormonal changes, but it can be improved. Here’s why it happens and what to do:
– Hormonal Changes: Estrogen levels drop during perimenopause and menopause, leading to reduced oil production and loss of elasticity.
– Slower Cell Turnover: As you age, your skin renews itself more slowly, causing dead skin cells to accumulate and dull the complexion.
– Loss of Collagen: Collagen production decreases, making the skin thinner and less hydrated.
– Environmental Damage: Years of sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle choices add up, further drying out the skin.
– Dehydration: Skin loses moisture faster as its barrier weakens over time.
Solutions:
– Use a hydrating moisturizer with hyaluronic acid and ceramides to lock in moisture.
– Add retinol or Vitamin C to boost cell turnover and brighten your skin.
– Drink plenty of water and eat healthy fats like avocado and salmon.
– Use SPF daily to prevent further damage.
With proper care, you can revive your skin’s hydration and glow, no matter your age!
