If there’s one beauty product we’d all buy, it’s a magic cream, serum or powder that would make us look ten years younger after a single application. Sadly, no such product exists, but there are lots of options that can help us turn back time…
Start with a top class SPF. Ideally, you should have begun using this in your twenties and worn it even in fog, but it’s never too late to pick up good skincare habits. Treat Co stock Katherine Daniels’ Daily DNA Defence SPF30which offers broad-spectrum protection for your skin (UVA & UVB). It’s blue light neutralising and pollution protection – plus it doubles as an exceptional make-up primer.
Boosting collagen and elastic production is a great way of turning back the clock. There are lots of collagen drinks and supplements, but one option with proven results is the DermaPen. Martina Mackay of Aesthetic Beauty Inverurie explained, ‘I favour treatments which actually improve the underlying condition of the skin. Dermapen is a painless micro-needling treatment that encourages the skin’s natural healing capabilities while stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. It’s better than fillers and it can also help with rosacea and acne and even stimulates hair regrowth. Another great anti-ager is Plasma Fibroblast Skin Tightening. It’s a non-surgical treatment that delivers plasma energy, improving facial lines and wrinkles, pores, photo-aging skin pigmentation and other skin irregularities.
Fillers can help restore lost volume, which is increasingly common when using weight loss drugs. Essentially, the facial structures start to sag, but the careful use of fillers and anti-wrinkle injections is an approach favoured by many. Dr Siobhan Hewson at The Terrace is known for her natural-looking results. Siobhan added, ‘The single thing that makes people look older than they are is skin quality and pigmentation. This can be treated by medical grade skin care and bio-stimulating injectables and skin boosters such as Sunekos and Profhilo. Our favourite and most effective treatment is full face structural rejuvenation and profiling with products such as Maili dermal fillers. We also find that daily use of red LED light therapy with currentbody face mask does wonders for keeping you youthful.’
