·Skin Reading
Most of the change that appears in your forties was not made in your forties. The sun, the short nights and the repeated diets of your twenties and thirties are only now arriving at the surface.
So care at this stage runs in two directions: putting in order the record that has already arrived (pigmentation, loss of firmness), and slowing the pace of the record that has not arrived yet.
Haste is the greatest enemy of this stage. A plan that orders one step each season changes the skin of five years from now more than a plan that tries to undo everything at once.
