How to achieve that effortless glow:
When it comes to skincare, it's never too early to start...
In your 20's, skincare is important as it sets the foundation for the longevity of your youthful glow as you age. As we get older, the body’s processes slow down. Substances that keep skin firm and smooth start to reduce and this leads to structural changes in the layers of skin which we start to notice on the surface.
Skin starts to lose hyaluronic acid, cell turnover slows down and sebum production reduces. These changes add up to increased sensitivity to the sun, dryness and roughness.
After you reach your mid 20s the collagen your body naturally produces slows right down, and we start to notice hormonal changes in our skin, with patients often complaining of dullness and texture that they didn’t have before.
Knowing which skincare is right for you…
Skincare can be an absolute minefield, there are so many products to research, so many individual skin concerns and so many brands!
But it is all a learning process and we offer the best range of Skinceuticals products, along with a free skin consultation in clinic at Update Aesthetics where you can use our skin scanner, have a consult with one of our experienced Nurses and have a tailored skin routine created for you.
We understand you may not want to switch all your products at once, however if there are specific ones that we think you would love and would address your skin concern, we can also offer samples and all of the products are suitable to use with other medical grade skincare.
When looking to start a new skin care routine it is important to establish what your skin type is. The skin scanner can be an amazing tool for this as it will show any congestion, dryness and hyperpigmentation or sun damage.
Life style factors such as environmental pollution, diet, and stress effect everyones skin and can present as these common concerns.
More about SkinCeuticals…
Skinceutical products work on three main pillars: Prevent, Protect and Correct. These principles work synergistically to provide the healthier-looking skin, and effective anti-ageing results.
A simple routine all of us should follow is to use:
A cleansing product, a preventative product, a corrective product, a moisturising product and a protective product. This will keep the skin bright, clean, healthy and help slow down the ageing effect on the skin.
Our must haves:
Cleanser:
Our top 2 cleansers are the simply clean. A refining gel cleanser combining an exfoliating hydroxy acid-blend with botanical extracts to smooth rough skin texture while gently removing impurities, excess oils and makeup.
Ideal for normal, combination, or oily skin
And the glycolic renewal. A Soft-foaming gel cleanser exfoliates with a dual-acid blend while effectively cleansing impurities and long-wear makeup without stripping the skin of moisture.
Glycolic Renewal Cleanser is clinically proven to complement and help maintain chemical peel results. The cleanser is suitable for dull, discoloured or ageing skin.
Visibly brightens the skin
Visibly clears complexion
Skin appears rejuvenated
Prevent:
CE Ferulic antioxidant, features a combination of 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), and 0.5% ferulic acid to enhance protection against environmental damage caused by free radicals that can contribute to atmospheric aging. This vitamin C serum helps neutralize free radicals induced by UVA/UVB, infrared radiation (IRA), and ozone pollution (O3), which may lead to visible signs of accelerated skin aging. In addition to antioxidant protective benefits, C E Ferulic improves signs of aging and photodamage, the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and the loss of firmness, while brightening skin's complexion.
Correct:
H.A. Intensifier is a multi-beneficial corrective serum proven to amplify skin’s hyaluronic acid levels. This unique formulation contains a high concentration of pure hyaluronic acid, proxylane™, and botanical extracts of licorice root and purple rice to support skin’s hyaluronic acid levels and deliver surface hydration, helping improve the visible appearance of firmness, smoothness, and facial plumpness.
Triple Lipid, aging skin is increasingly susceptible to lipid depletion: the loss of natural compounds in skin’s surface, present in the form of ceramides, natural cholesterol, and fatty acids. This lipid loss compromises skin’s natural protective barrier, resulting in visible signs of accelerated aging, as skin loses its ability to effectively self-repair.
Protect:
Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF 50 for All Skin Types 40ml. Dual-action, lightweight sunscreen with SPF 50 that helps protect the skin from UV-induced discolouration and helps evens skin tone.
