Holy Grail Skincare Products for Mature Skin

Though I love my skincare routine and am happy with all the products I am using, I love to try new things and am always asking my audience for recommendations. That’s one of the best parts of this job is the ease that I can ask for suggestions and recommendations for any and everything! Some of my favorite products (beauty, fashion, home, etc) have been recommended to me by followers and readers of my blog and social media. It’s the best! I decided to ask another question on my Tiktok (and Instagram but Tiktok blew up FAST so I am mainly using the answers there) which was “For anyone over 40, what is the one skincare product that has made the biggest difference in your skin? Something you can’t live without!”. And boy did my audience deliver! LOL

At this moment, the video has nearly 50k views and hundreds of comments. Since there were so many great suggestions, I decided to dedicate a blog post to all the answers so anyone can go back to this post next time they want to try something new for their skincare. I will try to link anything that I can as well and pick the most mentioned products to include in this post. Enjoy!!
