Once we move from our 30s and into our 40s (and beyond), the skincare routine we have always relied upon, doesn't work quite as well as it did, it might not be an overnight change, but a gradual shifting of how we feel about our skin. With hormone levels up and down (especially post 45), collagen reducing, and varying lifestyle factors all playing a role, our midlife skin needs different care to the one we got used to. I don't believe we need specific skincare, I am not convinced by the surge of targeted menopause products but there are skincare ingredients that we should be paying more attention to.
My simple guide will help you understand what skin changes might occur in midlife and how to find the right skincare products to give you the best results. This blog post contains an affiliate link and a special offer from TOYL, the beauty box for women over 40.

I was delighted to be invited to try a course of LPG Endermologie at Jane Young Wellness, where I experienced both the Face Endermologie and Body Endermologie treatments. I'm excited to share my thoughts and give you a first-hand insight into this innovative, non-invasive approach to skin rejuvenation and body contouring.
With clinics in Milton Keynes and Bedford, Jane Young Wellness is led by Jane herself, an experienced and highly respected practitioner with over 20 years in the beauty and wellness industry. Jane and her expert team offer a personalised approach, using advanced technology, medical-grade skincare, and targeted supplements to help you look after your skin from the inside out. Whether you're dealing with fine lines or loss of firmness or dullness, they’re passionate about helping you achieve visible, lasting results. Firstly, my LPG facials, I was welcomed to the clinic for an initial consultation with Caroline who is very knowledgeable and has an impressive background in the beauty industry, I knew I was in safe hands! This is a gifted blog post. It's that time year again, and I've noticed a few new dry patches of skin - particularly where my bra straps sit on my shoulder, why there? No idea! Even googling it doesn't give me a clear answer ... anyway when the cold weather arrives in the winter months I always turn to Gem's Dry Skin Balm. Now full disclosure Gem is my niece (in-law) and is like another daughter to me (or little sister depending on how brave I am about the age gap), Gem lived with us for a while and we are very close. When she was living here we worked a lot together on her small business, then she moved to Devon, had a baby paused for a few years to concentrate on being a new mum, but she's back and thank goodness because I was running out of supplies of her balm, Gem's Dry Skin Balm really is a beauty cupboard essential, for both summer and winter.
Winter can be a tough time for our skin, especially for women over 50 navigating midlife. As the temperature drops, the combination of cold air, indoor heating, and low humidity levels can mean our skin changes and leaves the skin feeling dry, tight, and uncomfortable. Add to this the natural changes in our skin’s texture and elasticity during midlife when our hormone levels drop (especially oestrogen), and it’s no wonder winter often feels like a battle for hydration. But that is why we all need one hero product - a dry skin balm. This is a personal recommendation - although I do receive gifts of Gem's Dry Skin Balm regularly because Gem is my niece!

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve likely seen me raving about this luxurious, truly divine body oil from Desavery - and now I’m excited to share a 20% discount code with you! I’ve also been testing two of their daily skincare oils, so I thought it was the perfect time to dive a little deeper into this incredible, natural, and vegan skincare brand.
Desavery was founded by Andrea Dinnick, a former journalist with a passion for research. Andrea’s journey led her to discover the most effective plant-based ingredients to nourish and deeply moisturise the skin. Along the way, she uncovered how these ingredients can also influence mood and support a positive mindset, enhancing the skincare experience beyond the surface. And so, Desavery was born. “I want your skincare routine to be your time. A few pleasurable moments in your day, inhaling our plant ingredients and getting your skin in the best shape of its life.” Andrea Dinnick, Desavery Founder This blog post contains an affiliate link and gifted products. |
