DiorShow Artists Skincare Tips for Women over 40

Beauty, Skin Care | 4 comments

With a special offer for Fab Over 40 readers!

The fabulous DiorShow artists put together a list of skincare and makeup tips that are targeted towards women over 40.   Today the focus is on skincare and their advice and tomorrow we will discuss their makeup and beauty advice.

  1. As women mature, the desire is to keep skin looking healthy and radiant and to slow the signs of aging.  Keeping skin protected and moisturized is a MUST.  Using a serum is essential.  Serums penetrate more deeply into the skin where damage occurs and have a higher concentration of active ingredients.  High potency anti-oxidants and a moisturizer that replenishes and retains moisture in the skin will give a youthful glow.  An exceptional skincare treatment, like Dior’s L’or de Vie is a perfect choice.  Regenerative molecules from the legendary Chateau d’Yquem infuse this luxurious line of products and protect skin with the most powerful anti-oxidants available without a prescription, while correcting visible signs of again and strengthening skin from within.
  2. A new treatment innovation is the concept of detoxifying the skin cells.  Each day, billions of toxins build up in the cells and without toxin elimination, no skincare treatment can be completely effective.  Dior’s Capture Totale One Essential is the ‘daily detox’ for your skin.  Used before you usual skincare, it boots the effectiveness of ANY skincare product that follows.  The Dior exclusive technology, Detoxinyl, recycles toxins and turns them into proteins which the skin uses as a building block to repair.  The skin needs proteins to be healthy!
  3. Since mature skin tends to lose luster and look dry, radiance is key to maintaining a nice youthful appearance. Using Capture Totale Radiance Enchancer before foundation or even mixing a few pumps INTO your foundation, give a brighter look.  It also helps to keep the base from settling into lines and wrinkles.
Because I was involved in the Beauty Bash in NYC a few weeks back and I mentioned some of my favorite Dior products, Dior is kind enough to offer all Fab Over Forty readers an offer from their website www.dior.com  Any purchase on Dior.com you will receive a free mini mascara!   Just enter BEAUTYBASH2011 at checkout to get your souvenir.  This offer is good thru October 2011.  Also, remember they offer free shipping with a $50 or more purchase and you get your DiorDiva points!

    This is great! I love Dior skincare, it’s all I use! I am going to get the Capture Total One and the Radiance Enhancer.

    I am looking forward to the next post about Dior makeup!

    Thank you for this information. Very helpful!

    Thanks Erika. I love both of those pieces and one that wasn’t mentioned is the Capture Totale night cream – I LOVE that!

    Kari,
    Is the capture totale radiance enhancer a new product that isn’t out yet? Pretty sure I need it bad but haven’t heard of it and don’t find it on the web by. Also, any chance they’ll bring back the capture hand cream.

    And lastly, when you’re applying serums at night or day, is it ok to use two serums before a moisturizer or should you only use one serum at a time?

    Thanks, shelley

    It isn’t new, but oddly it isn’t on their website right now -not sure why. I know it’s on Macys.com and other sites that sell Dior. I have been told to stay tuned about the hand cream – so possibly in the future they will be bringing that back. I wouldn’t use two serums at night – try one in the morning and one at night. It also depends what is in each one. For ex. you don’t want to use a Vit C serum at night if you are using a retinol product – they counteract each other. Use the Vitamin C during the day and the Retinol at night.
