Skincare in Your 40s: Strength, Support, and Real Results

Your 40s are often when skin starts to reflect more of your lived experience — and that’s not a bad thing. But it’s also when many clients first notice more consistent dryness, dullness, and changes in elasticity that don’t resolve with product alone.

At Platinum Cosmetics, we treat many clients in their 40s who aren’t chasing perfection — they just want to feel like their skin is strong, vibrant, and well cared for. Here’s how we help support that, both at home and in-clinic.

What Changes in Your 40s

Collagen decline becomes more noticeable. Your skin may:

  • Feel thinner or more fragile

  • Take longer to heal

  • Show deeper lines or creasing

  • Respond differently to products you used in your 30s

It’s not about “fixing” — it’s about understanding what your skin needs now, and adjusting with care and precision.

Our Most Recommended Treatments in Your 40s

Many of our 40-something clients benefit from light but effective in-clinic support, such as:

We focus on natural results — restoring glow and confidence, not chasing unrealistic outcomes.

Your Skin Care Routine in Your 40s

At this stage, your skin care routine should be:

  • Nourishing (think ceramides, peptides, barrier repair)

  • Protective (SPF daily, always)

  • Targeted (with a few actives like retinol or antioxidants, used mindfully)

We help clients create simple, effective routines that align with their skin’s actual needs — not just trends.

Common Concerns We Support

  • Loss of elasticity

  • Pigmentation and uneven tone

  • Skin that feels ‘tired’ or less resilient

  • Confusion around product effectiveness

We don’t push anti-ageing — we support pro-skin decisions based on your personal goals.

Book a Skin Consultation in Your 40s

If you’re in your 40s and not sure what your skin needs — or you feel like you’ve outgrown your current routine — book a consultation. We’ll assess your skin professionally, talk through your concerns, and build a plan that respects where your skin is at and where you want it to be.
