The new year may still be young, but the list of must-have beauty and health products is already long… and growing.
From high tech body shapers, to phenomenal hair growth products (and everything in between) here are 13 products that are well worth getting your hands on and 3 that you should stay far away from.
1. Revlon Photo Ready Cream Blush
Blush is the ultimate instant picker-upper. Be it rose, apricot, raspberry, or fuchsia, gel, cream, liquid, or powder, nothing livens up the face faster than faking a fabulous flush with a pretty pop of color swiped across the apples of your cheeks. The Revlon Photo Ready Cream blush is a lightweight formula that leaves a silky soft feel on the skin, and blends evenly over your cheeks.
2. Seratopical With CBD Skin Cream
You’ve seen women in their 40's, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s with very baggy eyes, which ends up making them look much older than they really are. Well guess what, that doesn’t have to be you! And if it already is, there’s something you can do about it right now.
This Seratopical With CBD Skin Cream was made by two of the leading plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills and truly is a breakthrough, but it requires two things from you; patience and consistency. If you can do that, you will see a tightening and firming effect on the skin around your eyes. (You won’t want to live without it!) This is the very first skincare line that is infused with CBD to provide extra skin tightening, anti-inflammation, pore shrinkage and a glow that will have people complimenting you all day long.
We can’t recommend this one enough!

5. Get 7-9 Hours of Beauty Sleep With Dodow
When it comes to your beauty routine, sleep may be the closest thing there is to a fountain of youth. Women who get 5 hours of sleep per night may have twice as many wrinkles as women who get 7-8! New research shows that getting a good night sleep is actually the key to keeping your youthful look… and don’t kid yourself, 6 hours of sleep per night is vastly different than 7-9 hours.

How does it work? Dodow sits on your nightstand and slowly projects a rhythmic glow onto your ceiling.

More over, it’s completely safe, and non-addictive. No negative side effects!

7. Say Goodbye 👋 to Wrinkles, Fine Lines, and Loose Skin
I remember never worrying about wrinkles in my 20s, then I hit my 30s. My once tight, glowing skin seemed to be getting duller and looser. Nothing I tried worked. That's when a friend of my mine recommended 'facial cupping'. It combines the ancient practice of cupping and a skin-nourishing facial oil full of omega fatty acids and vitamins to improve blood flow and rejuvenate your skin!

In just a few minutes a day, 2-3 times a week, you can see noticeable results – like smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing puffiness and tired eyes.

Now here are 3 trending beauty products you need to stay away from.
1. Charcoal Black Mask
We know that everyone has been rushing to try these Charcoal Black Masks but here’s the thing. Not only do these black peel-off masks not actually do what they say on the packet, they also have the potential to damage your skin. We spoke to Andy Millward, facialist, aesthetician, and member of the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology to find out if these masks are worth the pain of ripping off all the tiny hairs on your face, and he warned us of just how much damage they could be doing. ‘They effectively act like glue binding to the cells on the skin’s surface as well as any vellus hair,’ Andy said. So stay away from this fad.
2. Eyelid Trainer (yes, this is a real thing.)
Now this one’s just plain hilarious. This product was made by Japanese beauty enthusiasts to help women with “monolids” get a double-fold shape to their eyelids. All you have to do is wear this super weird glasses-type, horror-movie contraption every day and boom, you have prettier eyelids?? (And we thought waist trainers were ridiculous…) *shudder*
3. Brow Stamp
Eyebrows are hard enough to perfect when you’re armed with pencils, gels, pomades and powders – let alone when you have to hope for the best and stamp them straight onto your face. This brow stamp kit is trending on social media but Beauty gurus are saying this product is a bust because the powder slowly comes off, the formula is chalky, and you can never quite get the brows to line up in the right place.
(byeeeee!)
So there you have it! The best and worst beauty and health products for us women over 40! We hope this helped you navigate your way through the thousands of products out there and get gorgeous results!
