Over 40 Skin Changes – Shock Horror!
It was only earlier this year after I’d hit 43 that my skin did actually change. In what way? Well, up until a few years ago, my skin always felt oily when I first woke up. Now, it seems a little bit thick and leathery, occasionally with a dry sandy texture. My pores seem larger and more open than they used to be and I’ve noticed a few little lines appearing around my eyes. I’ve found that any foundation I use accentuates these blemishes and makes me look older and any ‘pore refining’ treatments only exacerbate the situation. I didn’t know what to do about this skin change at first. For most of my adult life, I’ve been a total Clinique addict and have religiously stuck to their three-step skincare system. Recently though, it just doesn’t seem to be doing the job that it used to so I have reluctantly had to change my skincare routine.Cleanse, tone, moisturise has always worked for me!

I’ve also started work full time recently, which is awesome but it does mean that I have less time in the morning to prepare myself. I’ve had to establish a super quick skincare routine that I can stick to you every single day that gets me out of the door quickly and without too much fuss. So this is how it goes: Clinique Liquid Face Wash Clinique Clarifying Lotion No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Eye Cream Olay Total Effects 7in1 BB Cream Before bedtime, I repeat the same routine but instead of the BB cream, I use my Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion.No7 serum and eyecream.
