Facing Your 40’s- Skincare to Improve Wrinkles

40skin

The most annoying problem at this age is wrinkles due to movement and volume loss. You will begin to really notice crow’s feet around your eyes, the “dreaded 11’s” or frown lines between your brows, and the lines running from the sides of your nose to the edges of your moths (nasal- labial lines)  will appear and deepen during this decade.

Fortunately, Fiona Wright MD has great anti-aging products that are proven to work wonderfully for reducing wrinkles and bringing back that lost collagen.

Dr. Fiona Wright’s Tip:

Your home skincare should include rich moisturizers and some form of regular exfoliation. If you haven’t already started, this is the decade to use an exfoliator!  Glycolic is a commonly used anti-aging product at this age. It is well known to exfoliate the top layers of your skin, which will promote healthy cell growth to replace the dead skin cells and will make your complexion smoother. By including a glycolic into your skin regime, you will not only notice that your skin texture is tighter, but there will be better absorption of your moisturizer. To address the concerns of various skin types,  I recommend my glycolic based OIL FREE REFINING LOTION WITH 15% GLYCOLIC ACID for oily complexions and my REFINING FACIAL SERUM 10% OR 15% GLYCOLIC ACID.  These intensive glycolic products with Green Tea Extract softens the appearance of lines and wrinkles and enhances skin texture – to dramatically improve your appearance by revealing newer, youthful skin under the surface.
