Skincare Tips for Women over 40

It was almost like a switch went off. When I turned 40, so many things about my body changed. But what I noticed the most was my skin. It became drier, I noticed more fine lines and wrinkles and I started to get more hormonal breakouts on my face. We are always looking for skincare tips for women over 40.
