🌿 3 Ingredients I Became More Aware Of After 45
After 45, I started noticing my skin changing.
It felt drier, showed signs of sagging, and was less vibrant than before.
That’s when I began looking more closely at what I was putting on my skin — not just what I was putting in my body.
Here are three ingredients I personally became more aware of:
✨ Synthetic Fragrance
Often listed simply as “fragrance” or “parfum.”
It can be irritating and unnecessary, especially for more sensitive midlife skin.
✨ Harsh Foaming Agents (like SLS)
These can strip the skin barrier, leaving skin feeling tight and dry.
✨ Alcohol (high on the ingredient list)
Can be overly drying — something our skin needs less of as we age.
After 45, our skin deserves support — not stress.
If you’ve noticed your skin changing too, you’re not alone 🤍
✨ What’s one change you’ve noticed in your skin as you’ve gotten older?
