Taking Good Care of Yourself in
Your 40s
When it comes to the epidermis, it's a fact, alas
that "the biggest visible skin change is in the
40s - right around age 45, plus or minus a couple
of years," says Darrick Antell, M.D., a plastic
and reconstructive surgeon on Park Avenue. "You
begin to see wrinkles and loose skin around the
jowls." If you're not contemplating surgery, you
can do a lot by applying the fundamentals of skincare:
moisurize religiously; always use a sunscreen of
SPF 15-plus; avoid tanning (except chemically);
and if you smoke, quit. "If someone smokes, you
can really tell the difference, " says Dr. Antell.
"It leads to dryness and vertical lines along the
upper lip."
