In your 40s
What's going on: You'll see a noticeable loss of density in the epidermis and dermis (deeper layer of the skin). "The support structure of the skin starts to thin out and the contours of the face, jaw, neck and décolleté begin to soften," Paty says.
How to fight back: At this stage, firming is the name of the game. Anything that boosts collagen and elastin production will help improve the appearance of elasticity and fullness. Paty likes serums," they're formulated with a light texture and higher concentration of active ingredients for deeper penetration and quicker action." Apply one underneath your moisturizer.
Get glowing with: High-Potency Skin-Firming Concentrate, 50 ml, $75; and Cryste Marine Firming Cream, 50 ml, $65.
In your 50s
What's going on: "Chronological and environmental damage that's accumulated over the years is now highly visible," Paty says. Don't give up! It's never too late to start giving your skin the TLC it deserves.
How to fight back: Look for products with Vitamin C. This powerful multi-purpose ingredient will kick start slowed cell renewal, help dissolve over-pigmentation (such as brown spots) and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin will feel and look smoother and more radiant.
Get glowing with: White Brightening Botanical Cleansing Cream, 150 ml, $28; and Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate, 50 ml, $75.
More ageless tips from Paty:
• Be proactive: Update your skincare routine as your skin ages and changes, before anything drastic happens.
• Stick with it: Don't toss a new skincare product after a few days or weeks. Stick with it for at least 1 month to 6 weeks, that's your skins natural renewal cycle and when your likely to see results.
• Have a seasonal skin care routine. Give your skin the extra moisture it needs in the winter and the head-to-toe sun protection in warmer months and you'll have 365 days of gorgeous skin!
