You probably already know that Camille Styles is committed to aging gracefully, and that she prioritizes skin health over products which claim to reverse the clock. We wouldn’t be the people we are without all the years that we have lived, laughed and cried. (Sometimes, even at the same moment!) While we don’t wish to remove that expression from our faces, we also want to care for the outside as much as the inside. Don’t you think so? You’ll see that the best anti-aging creams for the 40s are designed to promote general skin health.

The best anti-aging products contain powerful antioxidants, vitamins and peptides. These ingredients can help to hydrate and nourish your skin, just as the doctor – er, derm – ordered. It’s never too late to give your eye skin the attention it deserves.

Natalie Aguilar, celebrity esthetician and dermatological nurse, was asked to share her opinion on the best eye creams that fight aging. Before we get started, Natalie Aguilar stresses that consistency, hydration and active ingredients are key when looking for the best eye cream. Noted.

Why is eye cream important for people in their 40s?
No matter how old we are, we want to address any eye issues, such as dark circles or puffy eyes. Some of it is genetic but the eyes can also indicate internal health problems. Always consult your doctor or dermatologist if you’re unsure.

Aguilar says that eye care becomes vital after we reach our 40s. As you age, your elastin levels decrease dramatically. This leads to more wrinkles around the eyes. Around this time, estrogen levels start to drop. This causes skin to become more sensitive and drier. In addition, the loss of orbital fatty tissue causes the eyes to sink and emphasizes droopy lids. Our 20s were all about prevention; our 40s, however, are more focused on correction. The best eye creams to combat aging in 40s are those that support skin health and reverse the signs of aging. They also increase firmness and collagen production.
