10 Wellness Products Every Woman Over 40 Should Be Using
If you are a woman over 40 I bet you have thought to yourself “I wish I knew in my 20s what I know now to start taking better care of myself” and I hear you but it’s never too late for us to give ourselves the best care possible!
With so many beauty and wellness products out there it can be confusing to know where to start so I want to share some of my favorites that I use regularly, if not daily and trusted products that I have been using for over 5 years as part of my self care wellness routine and as a woman over 50 I can tell you that my hair, skin and over all inner well being has never been better!
1. Probiotic. Do you ever struggle with that 3pm fatigue? There are several ways our gut can impact our overall health, including our complexion. MONAT Balance™ is a prebiotic and probiotic supplement fiber that helps support healthy digestion, immune response, improve energy levels and more*.
2. Collagen. We lose collagen as we age, like by the time we are out of our 20s and entering our 30s, the collagen levels in our skin and body begin to drop by 1-2% each year! If you want to slow the signs of aging, collagen should be your daily wellness BFF. Collagen Key™, a unique all-in-one vegan formula that helps support the body’s natural production of collagen*.
It has a very light and refreshing peachy flavor to it which means you can easily mix it with a glass of water.
Start giving your body the gift of glowing skin with collagen starting today!

3. Energy Boost. Need an extra boost to get you going in the morning to help get you over that mid-day slump? My go to is the MONAT Energy™! I love it because it’s easy to keep a couple of packets in my purse or at my home office desk that I can easily add to a bottle of water. It’s a drink mix with 50 mg caffeine from green coffee, ZERO sugar, adaptogens and bio-available B12 to promote more natural energy than a cup of coffee or espresso, without jitters or a crash*. It has a great berry flavor to it.
I love to mix the collagen and the energy together every afternoon and it really helps me to finish my day strong and energized. My customers have given me rave reviews of adding the collagen and the energy to a La Croix Coconut sparkling water or the Bubly Mango sparkling water.
4. Retinol. Retinol is added to creams that go on your skin. It boosts the amount of collagen your body makes and plumps out skin, cutting down fine lines and wrinkles. It also improves skin tone and color and reduces mottled patches.
Depending on your skin type, using a retinol-based product can cause the top layer of your skin to become dry and flaky but the MONAT Botanic Bakuchiol™ is a naturally based, vegan alternative to retinol: A lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion packed with a potent blend of botanicals that work together to produce a smoother, more radiant complexion.
5. Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a serious must when it comes to a great skin care routine. For starters it promotes collagen production, diminish fine lines and is essential for firming skin. On top of that, vitamin C is an antioxidant, which means it helps to protects skin cells from damaging free radicals caused by UV exposure.
So if you have dark spots, blemish marks or just looking to nourish your skin with the power of Vitamin C, give C. Radiance Illuminating Serum™, a supercharged 15% vitamin C serum featuring powerful antioxidants to brighten and enhance your complexion, a try. I know you will love it as much as I do!
6. Sunscreen. Did you there are two types of UV rays that affect your skin? UVA can cause skin cells to age at an accelerated level, causing unwanted dark spots, fine lines, uneven skin tone and even wrinkles. UVB rays, on the other hand, are better known for causing sunburn and most skin cancers. Although you may think you aren’t directly in or exposed to the sun, up to 80% of the sun’s rays can pass through clouds and even windows.
Sunscreen should definitely be part of every woman’s beauty routine, not just a summer supplement, especially women over 40.
Here’s a bonus tip: For seamless layering, get yourself a sunscreen that is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and made with non-nano zinc oxide lotion like my favorite Sun Veil Mineral-Based Sunscreen™, a vegan formula and Cancer Association approved made with a hydrating formula to give your skin an extra veil of protection and nourishment it needs.
7. Hair Masque. Our hair takes a beating from the outdoor elements, blow drying, curling, straightening and as we age our locks don’t bounce back like they did when we were younger. The daily damage starts to really add up to a dry, brittle, thin and frizzy mane.
Does your hair need a transformation? MONAT has a masque for that! Repair damaged, over-processed hair with one of our hair transforming masques! Infused with FIBER RESCUE™, a plant-based lipoprotein technology proven to target damage at a microscopic level. Any one of our masques is a hair care must have!
8. Scalp Scrub. Did you know the skin on your head is as delicate as your face?! Removing buildup and impurities with a weekly scalp exfoliation treatment leads to healthy hair after all.
I love the MONAT Scalp Purifying Scrub™, an innovative 2-in-1 scrub formulated with Apple Cider Vinegar, Pink Clay, and Superfruit AHAs to dissolve dead skin cells, stubborn product buildup and environmental pollutants all while balancing moisture leaving strands cleansed and fresh!
9. Hair Elixir. This is a high end spa quality hair treatment you can do at home but you may not have ever thought about having as part of your beauty routine. It’s important to choose a hair elixir that is packed with vitamin rich oils and transformative treatment that penetrates deep into the hair shaft to help restore shine, vibrancy, and elasticity.
MONAT Rejuveniqe™ Oil is hands down one of my favorite products to use! It’s a pure, multitasking elixir and ideal for normal to thick hair and normal to dry skin offering nourishment and long-lasting shine. It’s so pure and versatile that it can be used in multiple ways to improve your skin and hair.
How to use this multi-tasking elixir:
✨As pre-shampoo oil treatment to nurture the scalp
✨As an anti-frizz finisher to tame flyaways and also hydrate ends
✨As a facial moisturizer
A customer even shared that she uses it on her child’s mosquito and bug bites to keep them from turning into painful sores. A little goes a long way; just a drop is all you need!
10. Dry Shampoo. One of the best kept beauty secrets is less is more when it comes to washing our hair. You will find that your hair has more body, fewer breaks and looks healthier when your scalp is allowed to live naturally. Not only is the ability to get natural protection one of the huge benefits of not washing hair daily, but you can also save a lot of time and money on your hair in the long run.
While skipping the hair washing may be more beneficial for your hair and scalp, you no doubt want your hair to feel and smell fresh and that is why using a high quality dry shampoo will be your hair care BFF!
The MONAT Champ™ Conditioning Dry Shampoo is formulated with no Butane or Propane. A non-toxic formula that leaves your second and even thrid day hair feeling fresh and clean.
