2 Products That Have Changed My Mature Skin (For The Better!) -

This post has 2 Products That Have Changed my Mature Skin For The Better! I’ll let you know what they are and why they are a game-changer for my 40+ year-old skin.

2 Products That Have Changed My Mature Skin

In the world of skincare, there are so many products and ingredients to choose from. It can be so overwhelming! Today I will be sharing with you 2 products that have changed my skin. These products have made my skin more youthful and naturally glowy. The best part is that they are also affordable! There is no reason why you need to spend hundreds of dollars chasing that fountain of youth.

Retinol

The first product that has changed my skin, is Retinol. Retinol is the most powerful ingredient we can put on our skin to help keep those wrinkles and fine lines at bay. It is easily one of the most studied and proven methods for improving collagen production and overall skin texture and radiance. The best Retinol is going to be a prescription product (called Tretinoin), but I don’t advise starting with it. It can be super irritating for the first few weeks of starting Retinol so starting with an over-the-counter and affordable Retinol is ideal.

There are a lot of affordable Retinol products. My favorite over-the-counter drugstore Retinol is the CeraVe Anti Aging Retinol Serum or the Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Max Moisturizer. Both are affordable and can be found at your local Walmart, Target, or Drugstore. If you want it delivered to your door Amazon has you covered as well.

Why Retinol is a game-changer: Since starting Retinol, my skin has changed so much. I no longer feel like I have to wear heavy coverage foundations to cover up the weird different pigmentation I used to have. My skin is smoother and my pores are smaller. Best of all, my fine lines look way better and not nearly as deep and pronounced.

Snail Mucin

Surprised by this ingredient? Snail Mucin is the new kid in town in the world of skincare. It is a naturally hydrating ingredient that is made up of at least 6 different components. Including; Glycoprotiens, Glycolic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Enzymes, Antimicrobial Peptides, and Zinc.

Snail mucin boasts so many benefits for the skin, including increasing hydration, reducing redness, strengthening the moisture barrier, reducing acne, and even fading dark spots. My favorite Snail Mucin products are the Peach Slices Snail Rescue Toner 95% Snail Mucin and the COSRX Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence.

To use Snail Mucin, after watching your face (and while your face is still damp) pat in a dime-size amount of toner/essence. Applying the Snail Mucin to damp skin helps lock in moisture and it’s the perfect first step to your skincare routine.

Why Snail Mucin is a game-changer: My skin has never felt more hydrated and plump than it has since starting to use Snail Mucin! This product is truly a miracle worker for older, dryer skin. I’ve been pretty lucky, and haven’t struggled with acne since I was a teenager, but I know that Snail Mucin is amazing for acne as well.
