Shani Darden Shares Her Top Winter Skincare Tips for Women Over 40

Introduction

Winter is here, which means it's time to get ready! You'll need to protect your skin from the cold weather, which means using products that will keep you looking healthy and youthful. Here are seven tips for keeping your skin looking its best this winter:

1. Prepare your skin for winter.

Prepare your skin for winter

By using a moisturizer with SPF and antioxidants to protect against free-radical damage, you can help prevent premature aging and keep your skin looking healthy all year round. Use a sunscreen that's broad spectrum (SPF 30 or higher) during the day, then apply an antioxidant serum at night before bedtime to repair any damage from UV rays during the day. If you live in cooler climates like ours in New England, consider applying an oil-free moisturizer overtop of this one if you experience dryness or flakiness when exposed to colder temperatures—this will give extra protection from those elements!

Protect yourself from the cold weather by wrapping up in layers with long sleeves, pants/skirts/jumpers etc... This will keep heat inside where it belongs and prevent getting chilled through any gaps between clothing layers which might allow cold air into vulnerable areas such as underarms or wrists where they're most susceptible."

2. Use a hydrating moisturizer with ingredients to protect your skin from the environment.

Hydrating moisturizers are a great way to protect your skin against the environment. The ingredients in these products help improve elasticity, firmness and smoothness of the skin.

There are several types of hydrating moisturizers to choose from:

Water-based or oil-based? You have options here! Some moisturizers contain more water than others (this will help keep you feeling fresh during winter). Others may have higher concentrations of oils that nourish your skin while maintaining its natural moisture levels. You should choose whatever works best for your skin type and needs at any given time—it's all about trial and error!

3. Start using a cream with SPF and antioxidants to protect against free-radical damage, which can accelerate signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles.

If you're over 40 and don't already use sunscreen, it's time to start. Not only does sunscreen protect against skin cancer, but it can also help prevent signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. A study published in the journal "Photochemistry and Photobiology" found that using SPF 30 or higher sunscreens significantly reduced signs of aging on the skin when compared with no protection at all.

Antioxidants—which include vitamins C and E as well as beta carotene (a form of beta-carotene)—can help your body fight free radicals that cause damage to your cells' DNA, which can lead to premature aging.

4. Go for a cleanser that lathers well and effectively removes dirt, oil, and makeup from your face.

If you want to keep your skin healthy, it's important to make sure that your cleanser is effective and gentle enough for your skin type. A good cleanser should be able to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from the face without causing any irritation or dryness.

In addition to being safe for use on sensitive eyes or lips (some ingredients can irritate them), a good cleanser should also contain several ingredients that are known for their ability to improve overall health:

Alpha-hydroxy acids—These acids help fight acne while also reducing inflammation and redness caused by breakouts. Look for products with 5% AHAs combined with 0-3% salicylic acid in them; they're usually found in creams or gels rather than lotions because they're strong enough not only treat acne but also prevent new ones from forming later on down the line! You'll need an amount equal (or slightly less) than what would normally be found in 1 tablespoon full strength tea tree oil mixed into 8 ounces hot water every day—but remember not too much though because too much could lead us back here again where our goal was originally...

5. Protect yourself from the cold weather by wrapping up in layers with long sleeves, pants, hats and scarves.

Wear layers.

Wear a hat or scarf. A hat can help protect your face from the cold wind and snow, while scarves can also be used to cover your neck, hands and ears if they are exposed.

Wear long pants and long sleeves that will keep out the cold air around you when it's windy out—this keeps your body temperature regulated so you won't get too cold!

6. Keep your lips looking good by using a quality lip balm that has ingredients that moisturize your lips without adding too much shine or thickness to them--that's important since you'll be applying lipstick over it!

Your lips are one of the most important parts of your face, so it's essential to keep them looking good. A great way to do this is by using a lip balm that has ingredients that moisturize your lips without adding too much shine or thickness to them--that's important since you'll be applying lipstick over it!

You should also make sure your lip balm has SPF in it so that you can protect yourself from the sun while wearing makeup. The best way I've found for keeping my lips hydrated is by applying two layers of Vaseline Intense Therapy Lip Therapy after washing my face with Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser (which has no fragrance). Then I apply one layer of Vaseline Intense Therapy Lip Therapy onto each side and let dry completely before applying another layer for extra protection against chapping and cracking during cold weather months ahead!

7. Apply eye cream every day before bedtime--it will keep those fine lines around your eyes looking less pronounced overnight!

Apply eye cream every day before bedtime--it will keep those fine lines around your eyes looking less pronounced overnight!

When it comes to winter skincare, one of the most important things you can do is apply an eye cream before bedtime so that it has time to work its magic on your skin. A quality eye cream can really help prevent fine lines from appearing around your eyes and improving their overall appearance over time.

Winter is here, which means it's time to get ready!

Winter is here and it's time to get ready! Here are some tips on how to prepare your skin for winter.

Use a hydrating moisturizer with ingredients that will protect against the environment and help you retain moisture in the long term. This can be especially important if you live in a cold climate, or work outdoors regularly during the winter months (like I do). The best way to do this is by using an oil-free formula such as Cetaphil or Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence Intensive Cream ($20; Amazon). This is because both of these products contain antioxidants that neutralize free radicals, which damage collagen and elastin fibers in our bodies over time—and cause fine lines and wrinkles!
