Celebrities Over 40 Share Their Skincare Routines for Aging Gracefully
Aubrey Miles
Aubrey Miles starts her routine with a refreshing wake-up call using ice cubes before diving into her skincare regimen. The 42-year-old star relies on a series of steps and products including La Mer’s foaming wash, Skinmate toner, a peptide serum, and a niacinamide treatment, before finishing it off with Luxe Skin Ecran De Luxe Sunscreen Gel. Additionally, she incorporates Good Molecules’ retinol three times a week to keep her skin looking vibrant.

Sunshine Cruz
Sunshine Cruz opts for a refreshingly simple yet effective skincare approach. Like any good skincare routine, she starts by removing her makeup before bed using a gentle, soap-free cleanser, incorporating Cathy Valencia’s salicylic acid treatment both morning and evening. The 46-year-old actress then applies moisturizer generously, extending it to the neck and eye area, with daily SPF 50 protection being non-negotiable.
Sunshine also emphasizes the importance of quality sleep, regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and hydration for maintaining healthy skin. She also prioritizes monthly visits to her dermatologist for deep cleansing sessions and addressing skin concerns, along with doctor-prescribed supplements to tackle internal deficiencies. “Aging is a natural aspect of life, viewed as a blessing. My aspiration is to gracefully embrace this journey, not only for personal fulfillment, but also to cherish many more years with my loved ones,” shares Sunshine.

Geneva Cruz
Geneva Cruz’s skincare routine doubles as a wellness morning ritual. The 48-year-old singer starts each morning with a prayer and a kiss to her daughter. She then heads downstairs to drink coffee, taking in 10 minutes of sunlight while listening to her favorite podcast. After, Geneva proceeds to take a shower and applies a bit of Creme De La Mer on her face and neck before applying an SPF 50 sunscreen by Beauty Wise. “I never leave the house without sunscreen on,” she says.
Explaining the benefits of the sunscreen, she says that it keeps her skin protected from the brutal Philippine sun. “It also contains antioxidants that help combat early signs of skin aging and help moisturize the skin to bring out a healthy glow.”

Tweetie De Leon
Ask any dermatologist and they’ll tell you that retinol is the one skincare product to incorporate into your routine. Case in point: Tweetie De Leon’s holy grail product is a derma-prescribed retinol, which she likes to use before bedtime.
For the model-turned-designer who's now in her 50s, sunscreen is also a must. She always makes sure to apply a good amount in the morning. “I believe these are what keep my skin healthy at all times,” she says.
