So if you’re 40++ you’re probably noticing changes and the fact that your skin doesn’t respond to your skin care the way it used to.
What you used to apply doesn’t quite cut it anymore! Skin feels drier, less firm, you’re seeing wrinkles appear – seemingly quite rapidly – and along with that comes loss of collagen which brings with it loss of firmness and elasticity.
When we were younger, cell renewal was happening at a rapid rate, but as we age that process slows down. If your skin is not renewing as quickly as it used to, you will not have that glow you once had.
Gentle exfoliation helps remove the buildup of older cells making way for fresh skin. Hydration becomes more important as skin matures. Ingredients that encourage renewal and improve the look of structure can make a visible difference over time.
Using targeted products can really help. Adding a booster that is specifically designed to support the skin’s natural renewal process can help.
We are living in a time that scientists are constantly looking at ways to combat ageing and increasing longevity.
So don’t panic yet! Instead of more exfoliation and smothering on another layer of moisturizer, try a science backed approach.
What is NAD+?
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme naturally present in every cell, essential for cellular energy metabolism, DNA repair, oxidative stress regulation, and mitochondrial function.
Topically, NAD+ helps maintain epidermal structure, supports DNA repair after UV exposure and regulates inflammatory pathways. As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, which can slow skin repair and contribute to visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of elasticity.
How NAD+ Supports Skin Health
- DNA Repair and Cellular Regeneration
- Collagen Production and Elasticity
- Barrier Function and Hydration: NAD+ strengthens the skin barrier by supporting lipid and protein structures, improving hydration and reducing sensitivity.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: NAD+ helps regulate inflammatory pathways, potentially reducing redness and irritation, which is beneficial for sensitive or reactive skin.
- Energy for Skin Cells: NAD+ enhances mitochondrial ATP production, providing energy for cell repair, regeneration, and overall skin vitality.
Arbonne’s new Intelligence® NAD+ Cellular Skin Booster is ideal for this. It is designed to work at a deeper level by supporting the look of skin’s structure and resilience. Using NAD+ science, it helps address visible signs of aging by improving the appearance of firmness, contour, and overall smoothness.
Over time, skin can begin to look less defined, especially around the eyes and along the jawline, and this type of targeted support can help bring back a more refreshed, sculpted appearance.
It also works to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles while helping your skin appear more even in tone. Around the eyes, where signs of fatigue often show first, it helps soften lines and brighten the overall look, so your skin appears more awake.
NAD+ supports the skin’s moisture barrier and natural renewal process. When your skin holds onto hydration more effectively, it tends to look smoother and more balanced. This creates a longer lasting improvement rather than a temporary change.
It absorbs quickly and layers easily, and fits into your routine without requiring you to change your entire routine. It works alongside your current products, enhancing their results rather than replacing them, which makes it easier to stay consistent over time.
Add in hydration, sleep and sunscreen and you’re well on the way to reclaim beautiful glowing skin!
What to Expect Moving Forward
Skin renewal does not happen overnight. Because the natural cycle has slowed, it takes time to see visible changes. Small improvements over time often create the most natural results. Create a consistent and supportive routine and your skin will start to respond. Every step comes together to create your results!
Sun exposure also has a direct impact on how quickly your skin shows signs of aging. Using a daily SPF helps protect the progress you are making with your routine.
When these habits work together with a consistent skincare routine, your skin is better supported from multiple angles.
What To Expect with Consistency
One of the most important things to remember is that skin renewal does not happen overnight. Because the natural cycle has slowed, it takes time to see visible changes. With consistency, you may start to notice that your skin looks smoother and more even. Fine lines can appear softer, and your overall tone may look more refreshed.
Small improvements over time often create the most natural results. When your routine is consistent and supportive, your skin begins to respond, feeling smoother and noticeably refreshed over time.
The Final Word
In the end, supporting skin renewal after 40 is about working with your skin as it changes. A simple routine, supportive ingredients and daily habits all come together to create those results!
