Summary

If your skincare routine over 40 keeps getting longer but your skin still isn't improving, this minimalist skincare routine for aging skin might completely change how you approach everything. For women in perimenopause and menopause, skin changes like collagen loss, dryness, and sensitivity are real and they require a totally different strategy.

Chalene Johnson breaks down why most anti-aging skincare routines stop working after 40 and what actually matters if you want smoother, healthier, more hydrated skin. She explains the root cause behind thinning skin and wrinkles, how hormone changes impact collagen production, and why focusing on your skin's foundation is the real game changer. You'll also learn the simple 3-step skincare routine she's followed for over a year and why using more products can actually make your skin worse.

If you're wondering what the best skincare routine for women over 40 really looks like, whether tretinoin or estriol cream actually works, or how to fix dry, sensitive, aging skin without wasting money on products that don't deliver, this episode breaks it all down.

This is about working smarter with your skin, not harder and finally understanding what actually works in midlife.

So let's break this down, the three products that actually rebuild your skin and why they work.

0:05.3

After reviewing the research and talking to the experts, I found that there's really only

0:08.9

three things that your skin needs at this age to repair at night and to hydrate and rebuild.

0:14.5

I'm going to walk you through each one of these exactly how to use them and what most people

0:18.4

are getting wrong.

0:20.9

Before we get into my very p down, minimalistic evening face care routine, my nighttime

0:27.7

rituals, I want to address something that I really prefer to be very transparent about

0:32.1

and I've been very open about it from the beginning.

0:35.0

That is the fact that I had a facelift five months ago. But I started

0:39.2

using this very paired down skincare routine probably seven months before that. So it's been over a

year that I've just been basically using three products each night. And the reason why I want to

0:51.0

mention that is, well, because for the obvious reasons, there's always

0:54.2

trolls. Wait a second, you had a facelift. Yeah, so. A facelift doesn't change the texture of your

1:00.9

skin. Does it stretch your skin? Yeah, of course. But that doesn't improve your dryness. It doesn't

1:07.8

improve collagen, elasticity, and it certainly doesn't improve the thickness

1:12.9

of your skin. So everything I'm sharing with you today, I was implementing before the

1:17.4

facelift and I'm implementing after the facelift because the facelift doesn't address those things.

1:21.9

In fact, you might have an incredible skincare routine and incredible skincare products.

1:27.1

Amazing companies, many of them

1:29.2

amazing ingredients. They weren't failing me because they were poor products. They were just

1:34.4

failing me because they were addressing the wrong problem. You have to get to the root cause

1:42.0

of what it is you're trying to fix. And I am so freaking excited to explain this to you
