In the past few years, there has been a shift in the beauty industry (slow but it’s there!) to cater more to an older demographic. Some brands offer products that suit mature skin types but I was so excited to see an entire beauty brand dedicated to women over 40, Sarah Creal Beauty.

If you are in need of some inspiration or just some great basics to fill in the gaps of your winter wardrobe, here are 8 different sweaters to add to your closet this winter.

Everyone’s skin is different and so much can affect the skin but if you are wanting to achieve a natural glow to your face, there are some simple steps that you can take in order to help achieve this.
