Hello, beautiful friends! This post is going up on a Saturday—which is pretty unusual for me—but I’ve been getting so many requests for my skincare routine that I couldn’t wait. Believe it or not, I used a popular name-brand skincare line from my late teens into my early 40s and always got tons of compliments on my complexion. Then somewhere in my 40s, those products stopped doing the trick for my skin. After a lot of experimentation, I finally found a simple yet effective system that truly supports more mature skin. Let’s jump right in!

Morning Routine

  1. Gentle Cleanse
    I love starting my day with La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser or Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water. Both remove impurities without stripping my skin’s natural moisture.

  2. Refresh & Calm
    A light mist of Avène Eau Thermale Spring Water Spray comes next. This step feels like a little burst of spa-level luxury right in my bathroom.

  3. Serum Magic
    La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum is a must for that plumped, hydrated look. I apply a few drops and let my skin soak it up before moving on.

  4. Hydrate
    I reach for Vichy LiftActiv Supreme as my morning moisturizer to nourish and firm. It’s lightweight enough for daytime use but still gives me that extra moisture mature skin craves.

  5. Eye Love
    A dab of Avène Soothing Eye Contour Cream finishes off my morning routine by keeping the under-eye area moisturized and looking fresh.

Evening Routine

  1. Double Cleanse
    If I’ve been wearing makeup or just want a super-thorough clean, I start with Bioderma Sensibio H2O to dissolve surface grime, then follow up with La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo-Cleanser to get any lingering impurities.

  2. Tone & Mist
    Another spritz of Avène Thermal Water is next. It’s refreshing, and soothing, and sets my skin up for the rest of my nighttime routine.

  3. Overnight Serum
    I stick with La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum in the evenings as well, to help replenish and support my skin while I sleep.

  4. Retinol & Repair
    A few nights a week, I use Avène Eau Thermale RetrinAL 0.1 Intensive Cream—it’s a powerful retinoid-based product that helps refine my skin texture, reduce fine lines, and boost radiance. On the other nights, I switch to Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Night Cashmere Cream for a gentle but effective hydration and firming boost.

  5. Final Eye Care
    I gently tap Avène Soothing Eye Contour Cream around my eyes to combat any dryness or puffiness by morning.

  6. Lip Love

    I finish my evening routine with the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask, which is packed with Murumuru and Shea Butter—two ingredients I absolutely love! This rich, hydrating treatment deeply nourishes my lips overnight, leaving them soft, smooth, and ready for the day ahead. It’s the perfect final touch to end my skincare ritual!

Weekly Boost

  • Indulgent Mask Moment: Once a week, I treat myself to the Biodance Hydro Cera-nol Real Deep Mask. This soothing, hydrating mask is my go-to ritual for locking in extra moisture and giving my skin a deep hydration boost. It works wonders when my skin feels dull or needs a little extra TLC.

  • Nourish with Nuxe: I’m a big fan of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil. After my nightly routine, I’ll massage it into my neck and décolletage (and sometimes the ends of my hair!) for extra glow.

  • Gentle Exfoliation: A mild exfoliant—like a fruit enzyme or lactic acid formula—once a week can make all the difference. It helps sweep away dead skin cells and reveal that fresh, healthy glow underneath.

I hope this peek into my day-to-night skincare regimen offers some inspiration—especially if you’ve been stuck in a rut with your routine. I’m so grateful I finally found products that nourish, protect, and rejuvenate mature skin, and I’m thrilled to share them with you. Here’s to feeling confident in our skin at every age!

Skincare Tips for Women Over 50

  1. Hydration is Key: Mature skin tends to be drier, so focus on products that hydrate deeply, like serums with hyaluronic acid and moisturizers with ceramides.

  2. Gentle is Best: Opt for non-stripping cleansers and avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate delicate skin.

  3. Don’t Skip the Neck: Extend your skincare routine to your neck and décolletage—these areas show signs of aging, too.

  4. Introduce Retinoids Slowly: Retinoids are fantastic for mature skin but can be irritating at first. Start with a lower concentration and gradually increase.

  5. Prioritize Consistency: A simple, regular routine is more effective than jumping between products.

  6. Embrace a Weekly Treat: Whether it’s a hydrating mask or a gentle exfoliant, pamper your skin once a week to keep it looking fresh and radiant.

Stay radiant, friends, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
