Hi guys! Today I am talking skincare 40+. There is SO MUCH Skincare out there!

I love the skincare world so very much…. It’s enthralling and as someone that is 40+ and Loving my skin more than I did in my 30″s …. Why is that? Well A lot of factors. Self care, Having a lot more wisdom -in my life choices Hello! NO days without sunscreen. Sunglasses always….Better Sleep and of course some of the procedures I have had since about 33. I have had botox and fillers and different plastic surgeries since then! I haven’t had anything big since my HALO laser about a year ago but I am planning some procedures soon.

You can read about some of those procedures

Okay so back to skincare.

These days I am using a lot of Paula’s Choice

I test out a ton of products weekly and to be fully honest I don’t always write from a 40 plus perspective because my audience = You guys are much younger!!!!!! So let’s broaden things a bit – YES? YES!!!!!!!

Products from PAULA’S CHOICE that knock it out of the park! What does that mean? It means I see results.

“Our #1 product worldwide + cult favorite, this gentle leave-on exfoliant with salicylic acid quickly unclogs pores, smooths wrinkles, and brightens and evens out skin tone.

Clears & minimizes enlarged pores

BHA (Beta hydroxy acid) sheds built-up layers of skin

Fluid, lightweight texture absorbs quickly

Use twice daily after cleansing & toning”

My thoughts

This brightens up my skin!!! I have been using it for about a month now on a day to day basis and Yes brighter skin. My skin is extremely fair and sensitive and doesn’t suffer from hyper pigmentation, especially after Halo laser, but this keeps my tone consistently bright! It’s better than most of the masks I have tried that claim to do the same thing. So Liquid Exfoliant From Paula is where it’s at! A+++

CLINICAL

“This hydrating eye cream visibly smooths under eye wrinkles with a concentrated blend of five replenishing ceramides, four forms of brightening vitamin C, two peptides and clinically proven retinol.Vitamin C visibly firms & brightens eye area Retinol quickly reduces the look of deep wrinkles Rich, creamy lotion intensely hydrates Use twice daily as needed” My Thoughts My first time using retinol! Like ever! Why did I not before? My dermatologist – whom I see yearly for what I call freckle checks, advised me against retinol. I did patch tests and more patch tests and figured since I had Halo and I am used to peeling and I understand how my skin responds more and more I rebelled against her! REBEL! lol~ This is Gentle enough for the most sensitive skin and powerful enough to make a big difference. My skin plays really well with ceramides so Yes! Using it a few times a week in the evening – the wrinkles around my eyes are lessened. Will I continue to use it. HECK YAH!!!!! A ++

“Visibly smooth wrinkles, renew a firmer feel and enhance moisture balance with a concentrated blend of ceramides plus a potent blend of vitamin c and retinol that plumps skin and fortifies skin’s protective barrier.

Strengthens the building blocks of healthy skin

Replenishing lipids deliver a supple look & feel

Creamy-smooth lotion intensely hydrates

Use daily to keep skin firm & resilient”

My Thoughts

Along with the eye cream, this is my fave! CLINICAL – It works and I am using it everyday with a lot of sunscreen on top. Paula’s claims are the real deal! A+++

Those are my top three from what their generous PR Team sent

The Peptide Booster is a real PLUMPER! I am seeing results with It.

I am Excited about all these products as They are changing my skin. I will come back later with reviews of the other beautiful products they sent. It’s VERY rare that I love all the products a brand sends. SO FAR SO VERY VERY GOOD!
