Affiliate Disclosure

Only I, and I alone have written and edited this personal blog. I share products I find because I genuinely like to help educate others about the anti-aging & beauty industries. Nevertheless, I do think it is O.K. that I receive payment from marketers in exchange for the time and effort I’ve put into providing you with this information. I might receive compensation if you purchase an anti-aging or beauty product. Additionally, there might be advertisements in my footers and side bars, for which I get paid. And I appreciate your helping me out in this way.

I’d also like to emphasize that the money I receive will never have an impact on the articles, subjects, or posts that I write. If a party has paid me to share content, I do not permit guest articles from them. You won’t see those posts here since I don’t think they’re valid.

I receive no payment of any kind in exchange for my thoughts on goods, products, or services. All opinions expressed here are all my own, and rest assured that I have plenty! Always remember that I do not publish stuff that was originally provided by a manufacturer or store and that any queries about it should be directed to them.

In the event that I host a giveaway, all opinions expressed in the review are my own and in no way affected by any compensation I may have received. I frequently receive products for reviews, and in exchange for my time and opinions, I get to keep the items for my own use. Since I have nothing to conceal, this will be adequately stated in the giveaway.

In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, Youtube videos, etc.) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In blog terms, the readers need to know if the blogger is making money by sharing a link or product.

In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site: Any/all of the links lordynotforty.com are affiliate links of which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.

What are affiliate links?

Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: When a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on 40andglowing.com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from 40andglowing.com). Amazon and/or other companies pay 40andglowing.com a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.

Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.

I use two main types of affiliate programs:

1. Amazon affiliate links.

40andglowing.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties including, but not limited to, amazon.com. Amazon offers a small commission on products sold through their affiliate links.

If a blogger links to an Amazon product (with a special code for affiliates embedded in the link), and a reader places an item in their “shopping cart” through that link within 24 hours of clicking the link, the blogger gets a small percentage of the sale. Amazon links are not “pay per click.” If you click on the product link and stay around Amazon and purchase something else, however, I will get commission on that sale.

Anytime you see a link that looks like astore.com/… or amazon.com… it can be assumed that it is an Amazon affiliate link.

2. Product affiliate links.
These affiliate links work the same way: if you click the link and buy the product, then the blogger gets a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation. Things like e-book bundles, e-courses, and online packages are usually affiliate links, as well. Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link. These links are not “pay per click”, unless otherwise denoted.

What about sponsored content?

I do not write sponsored posts. I want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company and it is a paid sponsorship, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post.
