'I'm an over-40s beauty expert and these are the skin products I use on repeat.'

Whether you're over 40 or just getting around with skin that isn't feeling too crash hot (dull! dry! sensitive!), we're here to help.

More specifically, we cornered makeup artist and beauty expert Amanda Ramsay on an episode of You Beauty and asked her ALL of the things — particularly when it comes to looking after angry and confused post-menopausal skin.

Amanda literally specialises in over 40s skincare recommendations, and also offers private personal beauty consults (you can check out her Ageless Beauty Course here).

So, when she swung by the You Beauty podcast, we were ready to take notes.

Edible Beauty No 3 Exotic Goddess Ageless Serum Hyaluronic Acid, $79.

Serums can be tricky, and often we'll want to try to target everything at once — dryness, pigmentation, ageing, the whole shebang. However, as Amanda told us, you're better off targeting your specific concerns in that moment, rather than a whole bunch of different things.

And if you're someone with sensitive skin, it's all about hydrating and calming the skin. At the top of Amanda's list? Edible Beauty's Exotic Goddess Ageless Serum.

"This has actually been in my makeup kit for many, many years since it launched," she shared. "It's the one I'll reach for and use every single time I do makeup on any customer or client that sits in my chair. When you put it on, instantly plumps up skin. So as a makeup artist, it's like the best weapon in my kit."
