5. Get 7-9 Hours of Beauty Sleep With Dodow
When it comes to your beauty routine, sleep may be the closest thing there is to a fountain of youth. Women who get 5 hours of sleep per night have twice as many wrinkles as women who get 7-8 (not to mention higher rates of obesity, heart disease, diabetes)! New research shows that getting a good night sleep is actually the key to keeping your youthful look… and don’t kid yourself, 6 hours of sleep per night is vastly different than 7-9 hours. The problem is, millions of Americans are having a hard time falling asleep and getting a good night rest. This small, yet effective sleep aid device called Dodow will help put you to sleep. How does it work? Dodow sits on your nightstand and slowly projects a rhythmic glow onto your ceiling.

9. Dream Dots – Heal Pimples Without Toxic Chemicals
Is it just me, or do pimples and blemishes pop up at the absolute worst time? I know there’s never a good time, but do they always have to show up right before a hot date, a big work presentation, family pictures, or a night out with friends? It never fails, right?
And it’s not like you can snap your fingers and make them disappear. Usually the best you can do is pop it, which can often make matters worse.

Because it has NONE of these problems and it truly is almost like snapping your fingers and making those pesky pimples disappear! Dream Dots, is a NEW beauty patch that makes pimples go away FAST while you hide them! It’s truly unlike anything you’ve ever used before – guaranteed!
10. Say Goodbye to Wrinkles, Fine Lines, and Loose Skin
I remember never worrying about wrinkles in my 20s, then I hit my 30s. My once tight, glowing skin seemed to be getting duller and looser. Nothing I tried worked. That’s when a friend of my mine recommended ‘facial cupping’. It combines the ancient practice of cupping and a skin-nourishing facial oil full of omega fatty acids and vitamins to improve blood flow and rejuvenate your skin!
Lure Essentials Glam Facial Cupping Se is the facial massage cupping kit of choice for high-end spas and dermatologists. In just a few minutes a day, 2-3 times a week, you can see noticeable results – like smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing puffiness and tired eyes. It’s compatible with any skin type, compact for travel or use on the go, doesn’t require any kind of batteries or charging, and it’s safe for your skin and the environment!
We can’t recommend this one enough!
11. Skip Breast Pain During Exercise Thanks to Boobuddy
Being active can be difficult for women with large cup sizes: bouncing breasts are really painful. For millions of women, that can mean either stepping away from high-impact exercise or wearing two bras, which can be unpleasant.
Boobuddy is designed to help women of all breast sizes exercise the way they’ve always wanted to, skipping any discomfort. This breast support band adjusts to any size, compressing the chest during physical activity, particularly high-impact exercise. This reduces breast movement, which in turn can prevent not only pain but also injury and ligament damage. Finally, the solution you deserve for painless exercise!
12. Goddess Face- Firming Sonic Depuffer
This tool is already a viral beauty hit in Japan and throughout Asia, but has only recently come to the states! The Sonic Depuffer is specially designed to tighten and contour your face while boosting skin radiance. Its micro-current vibrations sends stimulating energy at 6000 beats per minute through it’s gold-plated head directly into your skin. Use it to tighten skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, reduce facial puffiness, boost elasticity, increase skin care absorption and more!

13. DermaSuction – Remove Blackheads & Unclog Pores
So you want to remove blackheads, dirt and unclog your pores without damaging your skin? The DermaSuction device was designed to do just that! You can finally say goodbye to stubborn blackheads forever. One thing to keep in mind though is that your skin will be more sensitive the next day (that was my experience with it anyway). If you decide to purchase this device, be prepared to be grossed out by all the dirt you didn’t know you had.
Now here are 3 trending beauty products you need to stay away from.
1. Charcoal Black Mask
We know that everyone has been rushing to try these Charcoal Black Masks but here’s the thing. Not only do these black peel-off masks not actually do what they say on the packet, they also have the potential to damage your skin. We spoke to Andy Millward, facialist, aesthetician, and member of the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology to find out if these masks are worth the pain of ripping off all the tiny hairs on your face, and he warned us of just how much damage they could be doing. ‘They effectively act like glue binding to the cells on the skin’s surface as well as any vellus hair,’ Andy said. So stay away from this fad.
2. Eyelid Trainer (yes, this is a real thing.)
Now this one’s just plain hilarious. This product was made by Japanese beauty enthusiasts to help women with “monolids” get a double-fold shape to their eyelids. All you have to do is wear this super weird glasses-type, horror-movie contraption every day and boom, you have prettier eyelids?? (And we thought waist trainers were ridiculous…) *shudder*
3. Brow Stamp
Eyebrows are hard enough to perfect when you’re armed with pencils, gels, pomades and powders – let alone when you have to hope for the best and stamp them straight onto your face. This brow stamp kit is trending on social media but Beauty gurus are saying this product is a bust because the powder slowly comes off, the formula is chalky, and you can never quite get the brows to line up in the right place.
(byeeeee!)
So there you have it! The best and worst beauty and health products for us women over 40! We hope this helped you navigate your way through the thousands of products out there and get gorgeous results!
