We all recall days gone by when we didn’t have a skin-care in the world; often staying out extremely late, sleeping with our makeup on and not flinching if our moisturizer didn’t have the words SPF on it. In contrast, in our forties, we gasp at the idea of staying out past midnight or daring to hit sunlight without some form of protection. With the many changes surrounding our life around this time, our make-up bag has to keep up with these changes, our lack of time for everything in a day and, of course, our skin. Products that contain the word ‘anti’ (think anti-aging and anti-wrinkle) have become our friend and we need items that keep us looking radiant, hydrated and also address those tell-tale signs of aging. Here are our top seven best beauty products for your 40s that are ideal of toting around town in your makeup bag.
