What Works for Your Daughter Doesn’t Work for You Ever catch yourself wondering exactly how those 40 plus celebrities stay so youthful looking? Well, three hours of preparation and a team of professionals attacking them before any cameras ever start flashing is the first step. Everyday women often find themselves feeling less than beautiful when they look in the mirror, especially when they have spent the day walking past rows of magazines displaying women who look twenty years younger than what they actually are. While you should never compare your ten minutes a day of beauty to a celebrity’s costly and time consuming routine, there are a few tricks that you can steal to make your own look as youthful as possible.

First, understand that what worked for you at twenty and thirty will not work at forty and beyond. On that note, what works for a woman ten years older than you will not work, either. However, certain rules apply to all women who have seen their first wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots, and beyond.

The first rule of great makeup application for women over forty actually applies to the area of skin care. Aging skin needs much more hydration than younger skin. As a matter of fact, wrinkles are caused by a lack of moisture in the skin. This is the one area that it is best to splurge on. Purchase the best skin care routine that you can afford, preferably with products containing Vitamin E. That being said, a skin care routine does not consist of just soap and lotion anymore. A “routine” should include an anti-aging liquid face wash, an anti-aging moisturizer, eye cream, sun screen with at least an SPF of 15 (preferably higher), and a night time anti-aging cream. Though it may sound like a lot, applying these products daily will greatly reduce the amount of time and effort you’ll have to spend on facial care in the future. Great skin care makes any cosmetic application go on smoother, and skin that is well taken care of needs much less coverage when it’s time to apply makeup.
