Our deprecating society has wired our brains with these crippling opinions that for women turning 40 is to be dreaded, often portraying the age as the point of no return. You may be tired of hearing all these unhealthy views that only make your fears tower as you approach the big 4-0. You may even find yourself talking about aging in hushed voice, but turning 40 is nothing to fear; it is not an age of loss and decline that women have been programmed to believe for so long. Women at their 40s are at the very crest of success. They are notably more self-assured as the confusion of their young adulthood melts away and they start to celebrate their immensity. Instead of trying to stop the clock, they are turning down outdated beliefs about aging by embracing new paradigms and conversations that delve into preserving health and vitality for the rest of their remaining years. Talk about being more certain of themselves and having greater confidence in what they are capable of.
The global health crisis, while presenting uncertainty and challenges, has given us an opportunity to get in touch with what has been true all along: the now. Since you have been on your feet for so long—hustling and bustling to be the woman you are today—it is the perfect time to slow down and focus on your well-being while staying safe at home. While taking care of overall well-being might look different for every woman, skincare undoubtedly tops the list of priorities, given that early signs of aging begin to show as soon as women hit the age of 30. These are further accelerated by external aggressors in their daily grind, such as pollution, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and mental stress.
The best response? Take preventive measures to curb signs of aging such as sagging skin, fine lines, and dark spots. Antioxidants are every woman’s best ally to nourish their skin and control early signs of aging. These can be found in a wide variety of sources such as a healthy diet and supplements.
Astaxanthin is one of nature’s most potent antioxidants. It is classified as a carotenoid, substances that give food like salmon, crabs, shrimp, and krill their vibrant red hue. It’s been beneficial to having healthier skin, endurance, heart health, joint pain, and may even have a future in cancer treatment.
