Let’s be real: hitting my 40s was powerful, but my skin needed a lot more love than it did in my 20s. Fine lines, dullness, and uneven tone started to creep in. I tried the INNBEAUTY PROJECT line. Their products are clean and loaded with active ingredients, which to me was the biggest selling point. I have been using them for almost a year now, and I have seen a difference in my skin. ✨ Favorites for my 40+ skinSlushy Serum Moisturizer – Packed with hyaluronic acid and bakuchiol (a plant-based retinol alternative) for plumping and smoothing without dryness.Green Machine Serum – A vitamin C + superfood blend that helped me with sun spots and dullness.These products were affordable, and I have seen the desert that was my face after 40 start to feel softer and plumper. The creams are of a creamy consistency that feel so good on the skin. I hope this helps!

Oooh, ok, bespoke primer @AgingOutLoud ! @ReallyChar , you do what suits your skin. But, the better your skincare prep is, usually the better your base/complexion lays. The primer can fit nicely, like @SportyGirly125 to extend wear and like @AgingOutLoud noted, you can also just apply it in specific ways. During the summer, I use Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Mattifying Water Powder Serum with Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid 1.01 oz / 30 ml as a primer in areas where oil will cause separation, usually folds (nose, laugh lines) and not on my cheeks/chin. Eye primer - depends on the eyeshadow, lid/skin type IMO. For example, I use primer when I'm wearing just winged liner so the liner sets, otherwise it'll transfer to my lid. For things that are eye paints, I don't need them if there are silicones in the paint.

What a great question to be asking and at your young age 😊 I am 52 and having just started seeing an esthetician recently on the regular, was told to keep it simple as another poster mentioned…1. Cleanse 2. Vitamin C 3. SUNSCREEN (which I have been terrible about until now)! For PM routine 1. Cleanse 2. Apply retinol 3. Eye cream and 4. Moisturize I have been using The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum with Ceramides and The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + HA Serum for Facial Wrinkles which give me good hydration, and I like Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA +++

Check out YSE Beauty. Great skin care products. Been using them for over a year and they just joined Sephora. My faves: Morning Cocktail (Vit C.) Skin Glow (I use everyday) and their lip mask. People love the exfoliating pads too. Also if you can see a Derm, they will put you on the right path. 😁

@Scarlett1990 I definitely like Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen Invisible Broad Spectrum SPF 40 PA +++ . They are dupes out there that are less pricey including Teader Joe's and Kroger.

Hi @karinwal iNNBEAUTY PROJECT Extreme Cream Anti-Aging, Firming, & Lifting Refillable Moisturizer

I’ve always used a spray bottle for Argireline as well as any other really watery serums. TO’s Multi Active Delivery System, their GF 15% Solution & Amino Acids + B5 I get the 30ml & 60ml dark spray bottles on Amazon… they work super well!
