Skincare in your 40s – your skin needs an upgrade, not a revolution

In your forties, collagen loss has accelerated. You've now lost 15–20 percent of your collagen since age 25, and the breakdown is picking up pace. Elastin fibers have lost much of their resilience, meaning skin doesn't bounce back the way it used to. Fine lines have become more defined wrinkles, and gravity is starting to make its presence felt.

Hormonal changes also play an increasingly significant role. Estrogen levels begin dropping, directly affecting the skin's moisture retention, thickness, and elasticity. Many find their skin suddenly feels drier and thinner, reacting to things it never reacted to before.

Cell turnover has slowed considerably – from about 28 days in your 20s to 40–50 days. This means dead skin cells linger longer, skin looks duller, and active ingredients need more time to work. But it also means the right ingredients make a bigger difference now, because the skin actively needs the support it can no longer provide itself to the same extent.

DUO TA-DA gives you the most complete cannabinoid-based routine we offer: face oil with CBD for deep nourishment and TA-DA Serum with 3 percent CBG for concentrated cell renewal and barrier support.

In your 40s, moisture alone is no longer enough. Skin needs active ingredients that communicate with its own systems. CBD supports the declining endocannabinoid system while CBG works directly with receptors to stimulate the processes that naturally slow down.

Complement with Fungtastic mushroom extract for internal support. Adaptogenic mushrooms like chaga and reishi contribute to inflammation control and hormonal balance – two things that directly affect skin quality in your 40s. It's a holistic strategy that gives skin what it needs from all angles.
