I'm 43 and the biggest difference I noticed as soon as I turned 40 is that my skin has a mind of its own during seasonal changes. I would get dry patches on my cheeks and I've never experienced that before in my 20s and 30s because I had generally oily skin. I still suffer from adult acne, as well as sebaceous filament on my nose, enlarged pores, and some acne scars. My approach to skincare these days is making it as simple as possible. I don't wear makeup on a daily basis either, only run my face with some setting powder in the morning to even out skin tone. All my girlfriends in Asia have gotten some sort of cosmetic treatments. For example, Thermage FLX is super popular in Taiwan right now and I'm very tempted. So far I have not gotten any cosmetic treatments, most likely out of laziness. My attitude toward skincare is to embrace what I have (as flawed as it may be). I always say "it is what it is" 😆
I’m turning 33 next month. Up until the last year or so, I always had normal-oily skin, but now it’s definitely more on the combo-dry side. I always thought people with dry skin had it so much easier, but I now know I was wrong!
In some ways isn't it though? I'm about to turn 38 and still as oily as ever. I have to have blotting paper with me at all times and look for moments during work when I can sneakily use it.
My biggest skin changes occurred in my teen years (cystic acne, severe allergies), 40’s (everything calmed down, got compliments on skin) and early 60’s (super sensitivity, TEWL like never before, and continual issues with skin barrier).
Yea i was real confused and pissed off when i turn 40. Im a skincare fanatic and been taking care of my skin since 15, and up till 39 i thought i was a pro…then 40 hit everything changes and i was lost and have to spend spend a relearn all over. 🥵😡 still stumble and fall at 41. Aging skin is a bitch.

I love Charlotte, she is so much the OG
I lived this because I never had acne until I got 35 and bam hormonal acne, dry flaky scalp, hair loss 😮. I’m in my 40’s and it eventually got better.

Suffering hormonal acne in my late 30s is just *chef's* 💋
