@maggieroseadvocate: Here's why these over-40 skincare essentials work so well: - Collagen Support: Collagen production naturally declines beginning in our 20s, so supproting this process as we age is key. I personally use a collagen generator as opposed to straight collagen to support my body's natural production. - Vitamin C + Retinoid Support: Vitamin C helps protect against oxidative stress and supports collagen synthesis. Retinoids help stimulate collagen and improve skin texture. I personally use bakuchiol (a plant-derived retinol) because my sensitive skin tolerates it better. - Red Light Therapy: My holy grail! Red and near-infrared light have been studied for supporting collagen production, skin firmness, and cellular energy. Just make sure your device is lab grade if you want the best results. - BONUS: Zinc Sunscreen: The best anti-aging product is still sunscreen. Zinc oxide helps protect against UV damage, which is responsible for the majority of visible skin aging and collagen breakdown.
