Beautiful 40 Year Old Woman

Posted on July 7, 2020July 11, 2020

Looking at beautiful 40 year old woman with great skin, hair, face, and physique will get you saying, “I wish I was like that.” 

Everyone wants to cling to their youth for fear of being set aside or being cast as an irrelevant one.

This type of thinking has then conditioned everyone to acquire whatever regime or procedure promising youthful appearance and glow. 

Where should one start then to achieve the elusive youthful appearance? 

We will share with you some tips from the inside to the outside for the perfect body and perfect health. 

In this way, you will get to maintain your youthful look that will get people asking how you did it!

Learning the secret to beautiful skin

The first thing people notice is the face which makes it appropriate to focus huge efforts in this body part.

When applying make-up, make sure that you choose products that are of great quality and work well with your skin. 

Once the best products are chosen, caution as to its application is the next thing to consider.

A cosmetic expert said that many people accidentally destroy their skin by vigorously wiping or rubbing their face too hard.

Therefore, cherish your beautiful skin by applying light pressure, especially the skin around the eyes.

You also have to moisturize with the best face cream for a 40 year old woman that will contribute to your youthful appearance.

When applying the face cream, pat it lightly from top of the eye to under eye for better skin absorption.

Furthermore, proper cleaning procedures should be observed every night before going to bed. 

Beautiful 40 Year Old Woman

Exercising the body

Aside from maintaining a youthful appearance, one should also make sure to maintain youthful vigor.

To maintain youthful energy to go with your youthful appearance, exercise is therefore a necessity.

Exercise helps maintain healthy blood circulation and protects DNA from age-related wear and tear by reducing damage and increasing recovery. 

A 2008 study confirmed that the cells of the most active people were similar to those who were less than 10 years old.

To help keep people young, there are prescribed exercises that one may adopt in one’s daily routine.

Engage in thirty minutes of exercise for the heart, three-five times a week, or 20 minutes stretching, two-three times a week.

Maintain A Healthy Diet

According to a nutritionist, consuming foods that are rich with antioxidants helps prevent the accumulation of free radicals in your body. 

Free radicals are unhealthy agents that affect one’s skin and cause aging. 

Therefore, you should choose good sources of antioxidants such as spinach, broccoli, beets, chili and oranges, pomegranates, and carrots.

Choose colorful natural foods because they contain a lot of vitamins and antioxidants. 

Genetic studies even back up the theory that a slight deficiency of vitamins can cause premature aging and diseases.

Therefore, a healthy diet is also important if one wants to maintain the youthfulness long coveted.

Maintain A Healthy Heart

Along with maintaining a healthy diet and exercising, it is also important to keep a close watch in maintaining a healthy heart. 

However, most overweight women fail to do so as they are at risk for cardiovascular disease and hypertension. 

To maintain normal blood pressure levels, a healthy lifestyle is needed. 

See your doctor for you to know more about your blood pressure level then buy a device to monitor it.

Smile To Ease The Stress

Scientists believe that constant stress will cause the body to age faster compared to doing any of the known bad habits. 

Conversely, when you have a positive attitude or laugh a lot, the body will produce chemicals that affect the immune system. 

You rarely feel really happy? Try laughing as it helps in easing stress.

A 2006 Norwegian study also found that funny people have an increased survival rate at 31% among severely ill patients. 

Therefore, make it a habit to get a good laugh. By doing so your body will produce fewer stress hormones.

Avoid Constant UV Exposure

The harmful UV rays from the sun can cause problems such as dizziness, blinding, and eye damage.

UV radiation destroys the structure of collagen, a substance that helps your skin look healthy, making it ugly and rough.

Therefore, to maintain youthfulness especially with your eyes, wearing sunglasses is recommended when going outdoors.

Of the five levels of eye protection from 0 to 4, you should choose sunglasses with level 2 protection.

Get Enough Sleep

Lack of sleep increases your risk of chronic stress that is known to be a factor in speeding up aging. 

So, don’t forget the three principles of eight: 8 hours to sleep, 8 hours of work, and 8 hours of relaxation every day. 

Focusing on the first rule, a shorter but deep sleep gives the same effect of slowing down your body’s aging process.

If one has sleeping troubles, one should try improving it otherwise it will affect efficiency and will contribute to body aging.

To help you with your sleeping troubles relaxation methods such as yoga, meditation, massage, or aromatherapy are known to help. 

You can also use aromatherapy to create a sensation to create a peaceful feeling, such as lavender oil.

Benefit From Community Relations

Socializing for at least 30 minutes a day is surprisingly great for one’s health.

Not only is it beneficial for anti-aging but it also helps in strengthening the immune system and even reduces stress.

A ten-year Australian study confirms that sociable people over 70 years of age have a longer survival rate than people with few personal relationships.

Moreover, a 2007 report solidifies the idea that people with a lot of friends live longer and have fewer health problems.

To increase your social circle, you can engage in community charities and similar efforts.

Therefore, achieving a youthful appearance is not solely dependent upon internal efforts but also external ones! 

Start widening your social networks and you will see the results!

Complete Unfinished Work

Fully enjoying your weekend of relaxation with relatives or travel with friends is impossible if you have an unfinished job. 

The backlog will make you uneasy, you won’t be able to eat well or sleep well which might affect your good health.

One study found that an incomplete workload affects health similar to when you can’t pay your bills or face divorce or death. 

Too much of this stress may contribute to the deterioration of your mood and your body.

Maintain weight

Just like how everything in your life needs moderation, so does keeping your weight in check! 

Maintaining a healthy weight is important for your health as it helps in lowering risks from heart diseases, diabetes, and stroke.

Excessive weight gain between the ages of 18 and 40 is dangerous and is a major cause of aging.

Therefore, if you want to maintain a youthful-looking appearance, keeping your weight in check is also necessary! 

Conclusion

A lot has been said on how to maintain a healthy and youthful-looking for 40 year old women appearance enumerated in countless articles and recommendations.

Yet the best thing to do to maintain a youthful-looking appearance is to ensure you fully take care of yourself. 

The simplest things such as eating healthy food, doing proper exercises, and using approved cosmetic products are beneficial.

Most importantly, striving to live a stress-free life is also beneficial to achieve the youthful glow and appearance you need. 

Continue performing healthy habits and you will surely achieve the youthful look you have been longing for!

intensive eye treatment

The eyes tell your story and you have probably acquired a library of eye creams and serums to combat the telltale signs of under eye aging!

Are Holiday Parties on the Calendar? Is your Skin Ready?…ReFresh it with a Chemical Peel!

Posted on December 5, 2014June 28, 2019

bigstock-Have-Fun

The great thing about chemical peels is that even one peel can make your skin look younger and more even toned! While Dr. Wright does not recommend chemical peels during the sunny seasons because of the strong UV rays damaging your skin with the amount of time spent outdoors, November is the perfect time to get one!  Different chemical peels works work for different skin issues like pigmentation or acne but did you know that it works to smooth out fine lines and reduce pore size?  This treatment can also be done on the neck and hands to remove age spots too!

Read on to find out more reasons to schedule a Chemical Peel today!

Dr. Wright’s Tip

Chemical Peels are the next best thing to having fresh new skin! Chemical peels which often use Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA- Glycolic) or Beta-Hydroxy Acids (BHA- Salicylic), not only are found to reduce age spots, freckles, and dark patches due to pregnancy or taking birth control pills but improves the look and feel of dull skin and texture.

With any kind of chemical used on the skin, there are precautions you need to consider before you book a chemical peel treatment.  Before your treatment is done at Skin MD and Beyond, a proper skin evaluation is performed to make sure that the right peel treatment will give you the greatest results. During your consultation we work with you to determine the depth of your peel which depends upon the condition of your skin and your goals after treatment.

Lactic acid vs. Glycolic acid Peels

Lactic acid and glycolic acid are two of the more common peel solutions. Because they can do similar things to your skin, it can be confusing to decide which one of these two chemical peels you should use.

Both peels yield similar results, though Lactic Acid Peels, derived from milk, are less harsh and can be safely used 1-2 times per week. Although it depends on your skin type and the strength of the lactic acid peel, it is a great way to treat superficial skin damage. A lactic acid peel every 2-3 weeks will revitalize and brighten skin, keeping it young and healthy.

A Glycolic Acid Peel will penetrate deeper, tends to fade hyperpigmentation better and is derived from fruit acid found in sugar cane and citrus fruits.  This peel not only works on the outermost skin level, it also penetrates to the deeper skin layers. The peel removes the top layer of skin, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. It is a rapid exfoliant that will slough away dead, dry skin cells resulting in an even-toned, radiant and glowing appearance. Your newly exfoliated skin will feel soft and smooth, turning your problem skin into flawless skin.

If you are deciding between a glycolic acid peel and a lactic acid peel and don’t know which to get, go with lactic acid if you have never gotten a peel before or if you have lots of dark marks you want to fade. Once you find you can tolerate lactic acid just fine, you can try glycolic acid the next time you get a peel.  See why many trust Skin MD and Beyond for their skin care needs and book a chemical peel today!

The Regenerative Properties of RetrinAL-NEW FORMULA!

Posted on November 17, 2014June 28, 2019

retrinal intensive cream

After the age of 30, it is recommended that you use some form of vitamin A in your anti-aging skin care regimen. Vitamin A works on wrinkles and photo-damaged skin by exfoliating the cells and encouraging new ones to form. While some skin types find that they do not tolerate this ingredient well, there is one product we have found that works well even for the most sensitive skin!

Dr. Fiona Wright’s Tip

Two popular forms of Vitamin A are Retinoic Acid (retin-A) and Retinol and although they work on wrinkles, they can be unbearably irritating for sensitive types.  For years, my solution to this dilemma, has been to offer my patients, RETRINAL by Avène which uses a specific form of Vitamin A called Retinaldehyde that is both effective and kind to sensitive skin. Retinoic Acid is the only ingredient that requires a prescription even though Retinaldehyde has a similar activity level. Both Retinaldehyde and Retinoic acid are substantially more active (500 times more!) than all other Vitamin A counterparts. Many of my sensitive skin patients have successfully added RETRINAL into their daily regimen and have gotten great results!

But, the exciting news for this product is that it now is offered as RETRINAL Intensive Cream which contains Relastide, an anti-aging peptide that helps keep collagen and elastin from becoming stiff and rigid while boosting  the efficacy of retinaldehyde. RETRINAL Intensive Cream delivers deliver 4 antiaging benefits: wrinkle reduction, radiance, skin elasticity, and skin quality (skin texture and tone).

Retinaldehyde and Relastide are available in very few products, which makes RETRINAL Intensive Cream by Avène  rather exceptional after all. Available at Skin MD and Beyond!

Repair and Protect Your Skin with REPLENISH AND REBUILD MOISTURIZER

Posted on October 20, 2014July 4, 2019

Previa RR Moist

Women are always in pursuit of a result- driven multi-purpose moisturizer.   Like most of the busy woman out there, we want it to do several things at once! To answer this quest, Dr. Wright introduced Fiona Wright MD’s REPLENISH AND REBUILDING MOISTURIZER that we love!! Why? Because, not only does this rich, intensive moisturizer rebuild the skin from beneath the surface, it also protects renewed skin from further stress and damage.

Find out why you should add this to your skincare regimen!

Dr. Fiona Wright’s Tip

My REPLENISH AND REBUILDING MOISTURIZER is always in my daily regimen for its ability to revitalize and restore suppleness and elasticity to my skin. Containing Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3, this peptide supports new collagen growth, which is ideal for women who are losing their collagen as they are gracefully aging. It also corrects fine lines and wrinkles because as the peptides signal more collagen production, green and white tea polyphenols protect collagen from environmental damage. This product also contains Sodium Hyaluronate which works as an intensive hydration formula that quenches and plumps the skin.

The name of this product speaks for itself! Try it and you will love it!

Tick Tock Aging is Here …but you Can Slow Down the Clock!

Posted on October 3, 2014July 4, 2019

Laser-FIX-Polish

Time, heredity, hormones, sun, stress, and all of life’s little vices take their toll on the body’s single largest organ – the skin, but there’s no reason why you can’t have beautiful skin at any age. Your skin can be smooth and healthy if you maintain a program of sun protection, and take advantage of safe anti-wrinkle treatments.

Many patients who undergo a doctor-performed skin-enhancement procedure select a procedure that falls into the broad category of “skin resurfacing.” In skin resurfacing procedures, layers of the skin are removed by one means or another to expose smoother, more youthful-looking skin underneath.

Read on to Learn more!

Dr. Fiona Wright’s Tip

One of the most popular resurfacing procedures we perform at Skin MD and Beyond is our RESURFX POLISH. Laser Resurfacing Polishes, are “micro” treatments specifically designed to peel the skin layer by layer, allowing us to control the depth of skin removed. Each level (20-50 microns) provides a different end result, adjustable to fit the lifestyle needs and end desires of the patient.

In comparison, microdermabrasion and glycolic peels, are ideal superficial surface procedures which can reach a depth of 10-15 microns. Because our RESURFX POLISH is a “weekend” skin peel which goes deeper into the epidermis, it is the perfect “next step-up” from Microdermabrasions and Chemical Peels.

The healing process varies from patient to patient but will generally take two to three days. Immediately following the procedure you will look red and feel tight, as if you were in the sun too long.  You will have minor “micro” sloughing the following day. By day two, the redness will begin to fade and by day three any redness can be easily covered by makeup.

The RESURFX POLISH can be used for the treatment of fine wrinkles, the improvement of scars, and in the general rejuvenation of skin. At the time of your consultation a medical questionnaire and assessment will be completed and we will establish a treatment plan including the depth of the peel and the number of peels required to achieve your desired results.  Call today to schedule your complimentary consultation and the newer looking you is one FIX away!

Speak Volumes and Restore Your Youthful Profile with VOLUMA!

Posted on January 3, 2014June 28, 2019

What features make the “Ideal Youthful Face”? Volume. As the face ages, our cheeks flatten as volume disappears and your profile “goes South”. So to restore your youth it is important to re-volumize your mid-face with prominent, high, and fully contoured cheeks. For many years Dr. Wright has turned to  Perlane and Radiesse to do the job – but now there is a new filler (from the makers of Juvederm XC)  to bring back your youthful profile – VOLUMA™ XC!

Read on to find out about this new facial filler!

Dr. Fiona Wright’s Tip

The ideal face has a prominent mid-face with high, fully contoured cheeks. This facial characteristic makes a woman’s eyes and lips appear larger, and her nose and jaw line appear smaller. The mid zone goes roughly from the eyebrows to the upper lip. As the face ages, our cheeks flatten as volume descends and disappears. Facial experts now focus on rebalancing this volume change. Injecting temporary fillers can plump up sunken skin and is also excellent for re-contouring cheeks, lifting jowls, and reducing deep facial creases.

As well, in the past, dieting and exercise would sometimes lead to a thin face and an aged appearance. It is no longer necessary to choose between your face and your body. With VOLUMA™ XC, you can have the athletic body you want but keep a full youthful face.

The new VOLUMA™ XC injectable gel is the first and only filler FDA-approved to instantly add volume to the cheek area. It gives you a subtle lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile, for up to 2 years, in patients over the age of 21. It’s different than JUVÉDERM® XC and works on a different area of the face. JUVÉDERM® XC smoothes out moderate to severe wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth, like parentheses. VOLUMA™ XC, however, adds volume to the cheek area.

Stimulate Collagen and Have Beautiful Skin Again with a Dermapen Facial!

Posted on December 27, 2013June 28, 2019

Skin MD and Beyond and patients were excited when we introduced the DermaPen Facial at the clinic this August. The Dermapen Medical Skin Needling Treatment is the world’s most advanced skin micro needling device and was voted the Best Professional Skin Rejuvenating Device of 2012 by Aesthetic practices throughout the US and the UK.

The FDA- approved Dermapen is a FAST, AFFORDABLE and EFFECTIVE device that works to tighten, tone, and rejuvenate your skin by improving fine lines and wrinkles, minimizing pores, stretch marks, keloids, as well as surgical and acne scars.

Read on to find out the benefits of this treatment and how it can be individualized to your needs, goals and expectation!

Dr. Fiona Wright’s Tip

Whether improving your appearance with a small subtle change or restoring your face to a more youthful state, treatments are customized to your needs and goals. Because our Dermapen Micro Needling is performed by my Registered Nurse, under my direct supervision, you can enjoy the many benefits of advanced Skin Rejuvenation.

Using a patented, unique automated spring loaded tip, multiple needles painlessly pierce the skin to cause unparalleled collagen growth through “micro injuries” to the skin- thus promoting the body’s natural ability to regrow and repair. By promoting the production of collagen and elastin – the appearance of pores, acne scars and wrinkles are minimized- and more collagen means smoother, tighter and younger looking skin!

Although it is not as quick or effective as laser treatments, this simple mechanical device (based on fine needle penetration) can also deliver some of the same benefits of lasers at a more affordable price! This procedure can also be combined with other treatments such as PRP, Microdermabrasion, and various Light and Laser Treatments.

If You have Dry Aging Skin – We have your Cure!

Posted on December 23, 2013July 4, 2019

Does winter-dry skin make you want to hibernate this time of year? If so – you are not alone! The culprits may be winter wind, dry indoor air, or harsh soaps – but it can also be internal skin dehydration. At this time of year, the oral supplement Hyaluronic Acid (HA, Sodium Hyaluronate) which is naturally found in the body, has many benefits in securing moisture and creating more youthful and supple skin.

Our bodies roughly contain 15 grams of HA and it is found in virtually every part of the body. With such a widespread occurrence, it is logical that HA also has multiple functions. Scientific studies have shown that HA improves skin hydration, stimulates production of collagen in skin, works as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, maintains skin elasticity, cushions joints and nerve tissues, has an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity and maintains the fluid in the eye tissues, which may help to protect against numerous possible eye concerns.

At Skin MD and Beyond, we carry a nutritional line of supplements from Pure Encapsulation, which offer only the best products and ingredient with no gluten or preservatives.  Read on to learn more on how Hyaluronic Acid Supplements can work for you!

Dr. Fiona Wright’s Tip

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times: Drinking water helps your skin stay young looking. In fact, it’s a myth. Water is good for your overall health and “the skin of someone who is severely dehydrated will benefit from fluids.”  But for many people, “drinking A LOT of water” is hard to do during a busy work day!  This is where Hyaluronic Acid (HA) supplements come in to play!

As we age, HA drops significantly and skin moisture is harder to retain, which makes the skin lose elasticity and exposes the signs of aging on the skin. HA plays a critical role in skin health with its unique ability to hold in moisture. Hyaluronic acid is also a “smart nutrient” as it can adjust its moisture absorption rate based on the humidity—relative to the season and the climate.

Although you can gain HA from certain foods like root vegetables, soy, and animal joints and cartilage; HA supplements can also be of benefit. For skin cells, HA is essential for proper cell-to-cell communication, hydration, nutrient delivery, and waste and toxin elimination. It also appears to support the skin by promoting healthy turnover and renewal of keratinocytes (the main cell found in the skin), moderating the appearance of fine lines and age spots.

Interestingly, at any one time, one-third of our HA is being “turned over” (degraded and synthesized) every day. But as we age, the production will slow down. To help with this dilemma, Skin MD and Beyond carries medical-grade Pure Encapsulations low molecular weight HyaMax® sodium hyaluronate, which provides hyaluronic acid to support skin hydration for a healthy and more youthful appearance.
