Ageing Skin

Ageing skin is something we all face, but the way it looks and feels over time isn’t set in stone. From fine lines and uneven tone to a loss of elasticity, the visible signs of ageing are influenced by more than just the number of candles on your birthday cake. Sun exposure, lifestyle choices and even the products you use each day can speed up or slow down the process.

The good news? With the right skincare routine and targeted products, you can minimise these changes, protect your skin’s health and maintain a smoother, more radiant appearance for longer.

What is Ageing Skin?

Ageing skin refers to the natural changes in texture, tone and firmness that happen over time. As we age, the skin produces less collagen and elastin, the building blocks that keep it plump and elastic. Cell turnover slows, the skin barrier can weaken and moisture retention decreases, leaving skin more prone to dryness, uneven texture and wrinkles.

Restore balance and vitality to ageing skin with targeted care that addresses fine lines, dryness and uneven tone.

Common Signs of Ageing Skin

Recognising the signs of ageing skin early can help you take steps to slow its progression and maintain a healthier appearance. These may include:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone or pigmentation
• Loss of firmness and elasticity
• Dullness or rough texture
• Increased dryness

Causes of Ageing Skin

Multiple factors work together to influence how quickly (or slowly) skin ages:

• Natural ageing process: A gradual decline in collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid that changes the skin’s structure.
• Sun exposure: UV light accelerates collagen breakdown, leading to wrinkles, pigmentation and uneven tone (photoageing).
• Environmental stressors: Pollution and toxins can damage skin cells and contribute to premature ageing.
• Hormonal changes: Shifts in hormone levels, particularly during menopause, can cause thinning skin and reduced elasticity.
• Lifestyle habits: Smoking, excess alcohol, poor diet and lack of sleep can all speed up visible skin ageing.

Slowing Skin Ageing

You can’t stop the clock, but you can help your skin age more gracefully by making a few daily habits non-negotiable. Wearing sunscreen every day is one of the most effective ways to protect against UV damage and photoageing. Gentle cleansing helps remove dirt, pollution and makeup without stripping natural oils, while regular exfoliation encourages skin cell renewal for a smoother appearance.

Keeping skin hydrated with moisturisers and serums is essential for maintaining elasticity and softness. Nutrition also plays a role, as eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants supports skin from within. Finally, avoiding harmful habits such as smoking, excess alcohol, and unmanaged stress can go a long way in preserving skin health.

Ageing skin benefits from a daily routine that supports hydration, protects from UV damage and promotes smooth texture.

Lifestyle Tips for Healthier Skin

Pairing your skincare routine with healthy lifestyle choices can enhance results and support skin health:

• Eat for your skin: Include antioxidant-rich foods like berries, green leafy vegetables and nuts.
• Stay hydrated: Keep moisture levels balanced from the inside out by drinking enough water daily.
• Exercise regularly: Improves circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to skin cells.
• Prioritise sleep: Overnight rest gives your skin time to repair and rejuvenate.
• Manage stress: Prolonged stress can impact skin health and accelerate ageing.
