How to Make Your Skin Glow After 40 Without Makeup: Easy, Affordable Beauty Tips That Work!

Caio, Beautiful!

As we move through our 40s and beyond, the idea of a “glow up” starts to shift. It’s no longer about contouring trends or chasing perfection—it’s about reconnecting with ourselves, honoring our skin, and doing the little things that make us feel nourished from the inside out.

And here’s the good news: your glow-up doesn’t have to come from a makeup bag. Sometimes, the most powerful beauty rituals are the ones you do barefoot, hair tied up, in the comfort of your own home.

1. Start with a Warm Bath—But Make It a Ritual

A warm bath isn’t just about soaking—it’s about slowing down. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil or bath salts, light a candle, and give yourself permission to be still. The heat relaxes tired muscles, eases tension, and opens your pores—making it the perfect prep for your next step.

For me, nothing melts stress away more than a classic magnesium salt bath! 

Glow Tip: Keep a soft towel nearby and turn your phone on Do Not Disturb.

Let this be your sacred space when you need it.

2. Buff Away What No Longer Serves You

Just like we shed old stories in our 40s, our skin needs help shedding what’s built up over time. A natural sugar scrub can gently exfoliate dry, dull skin and bring back softness and radiance. Use circular motions and give extra love to areas that tend to be forgotten—elbows, knees, and shoulders.

Glow Tip: Exfoliate 2–3 times a week for smoother, more radiant skin—especially before applying any body oils or creams.

3. Moisturize with Intention

Now that your skin is prepped, it’s time to seal in the softness. A nourishing body butter—especially one that smells divine—does more than hydrate. It gives you that subtle, healthy sheen and connects you back to your body in the most loving way. After 40, our skin naturally loses moisture faster, so locking it in becomes essential.

Glow Tip: Apply your Glow Oil to your face while your skin is still damp to help seal in hydration and boost that natural glow.

4. Choose Scents That Heal, Not Harm

Fragrance can be one of the most powerful emotional tools in your beauty routine. But so many perfumes are filled with harsh chemicals that do more harm than good. Choosing a clean, natural perfume allows you to indulge your senses without compromising your health.

Glow Tip: Dab a natural scent behind your ears or on your wrists before you head out—or even just to lift your mood while folding laundry (if you're like me, this big event takes place every 2 weeks!!!)

I hope these wellness and beauty tips resonate with your soul the way they do for me, because you deserve it! 

The more you know the more you glow!
