It’s impossible to go back in time, therefore, instead of trying to turn back the clock with multiple anti ageing treatments, ageing skin is becoming more widely accepted. Are people giving up on thread lifts and face lifts? Rather than trying to hide their age, people are embracing their maturity, wanting healthy, glowing skin instead. There has been a recent shift in focusing more on skin renewal through treatments such as Profhilo, chemical peels and microneedling.
Skin changes are one of the most visible signs of ageing. Whether you feel your age or not, your skin can be the first indicator of how old you really are. However, it’s important to note out that the changes to your skin are very much dependant on environmental factors. If you have been a smoker with a stressful lifestyle, or living in a polluted area, then you will find that your skin probably looks older, quicker. The ageing process starts in your 20s, when your skin starts to slowdown production of collagen and elastin. Too many people associate ageing with being ‘old’, however, this is not always the case. Yes, your age plays a part, but your environment also has a massive effect on the ageing process.
Unfortunately wrinkles and sagging skin are something every single one of us have to look forward to as we age. In this blog we will show you the best ways you can embrace your ageing skin and bring some life back life into it!
To help gain healthier, radiant skin here are our tops tips for mature skincare:
- Vitamin A
Helps to stimulate new cell growth and increase production of collagen and elastin which helps to keep the skin hydrated. For skin which is slightly more mature, products with retinaldehydes rather than retinyl palmitates are best.
- SPF
Not matter what age you are, you should be wearing SPF. And if you aren’t, you should start now! Everyone knows that exposure to the sun speeds up the ageing process, yet so many of us aren’t doing anything to prevent it. Although it is best to start wearing SPF early on, it can also help to reverse some of the photo-ageing which has been caused by sun damage. SPF is a must!
- Oils and rich moisturisers
This is particularly important for post-menopausal women. During menopause, the skin can become extremely dry – even if you’ve had very oily skin your whole life! To help combat dry, itchy skin, the skin needs hydration which can be achieved through oils and rich moisturisers. However, one thing to make sure is that these products aren’t blocking your pores, as this could lead to breakouts.
- Skin treatments
A great treatment to help ageing skin promote new cell growth is through regular microneedling treatments. Microneedling exfoliates the skin on a deep level, replacing old skin cells with new rejuvenated ones. It can help to reduce wrinkles, making the skin appear smoother too.
Another treatment is radiofrequency which works wonders at tightening the skin. At Simply Clinics we offer GeneO+ superfacials which help to achieve hydrated, glowing skin. They can be combined with Tripolar radio-frequency and ultrasound to help make your skin brighter and firmer – ideal for mature skin!
