Your skin in your Twenties

In your early twenties your skin has an abundant collagen supply helping you to maintain a healthy, plump and firm complexion. With that said, you may still be experiencing the lingering effects of teenage acne with breakouts, congestion or scarring. Too much time in the sun in your younger years may also be starting to show on your face with some pigmentation and dull or uneven skin tone. As you near 30, you may also start to experience the first signs of ageing. This is because from around the age of 25 your body is no longer in a growing phase, which results in the decline of collagen and elastin production, and the slowing of cell turnover. This can lead to the formation of fine lines to the forehead, the development of frown lines and ‘crows’ feet’, and the beginning of heavier eye bags due to the loss of volume, and tissue laxity. The way that you take care of your skin in your twenties, will dictate the skin you have in your later decades, so investing now is key to preventing and managing the signs of ageing.

This decade is the perfect time to establish a skin routine that incorporates treatments and products that will enhance your best features while ensuring you maintain a youthful glow.

At this age you have the luxury of being proactive, not reactive, so include regular treatments like a monthly HydraFacial MD™ or Clear + Brilliant®, which stimulate and boost collagen and hyaluronic acid to keep your skin smooth, hydrated and radiant while preventing fine lines and wrinkles from forming.

Now is also a great time to start to explore what injectable treatments are right for you, from dermal filler to help naturally enhance your features like your lips or cheeks, to anti-wrinkle to prevent fine lines and maintain a smooth complexion. Combing your regular dermal filler injections with skin boosters (hydrating filler) offers long lasting skin hydration to give you healthy skin that glows. Adding bio-stimulator treatments such as PRP (platelet rich plasma) and collagen boosting PDO smooth threads, stimulates your own natural collagen supplies, ensuring your skin remains vibrantly plump. That’s why it’s important to choose a skilled clinician who consults with you to understand your skin goals and prescribe a personalised treatment plan that’s right for you.

When it comes to your at-home skincare, complement your in-clinic treatments with a good SPF sunscreen as your number one staple. It’s imperative to fighting environmental damage – one of the biggest contributors to premature ageing. In addition to your daily cleanser and moisturiser, look to incorporate serums into your routine that include hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to help hydrate and boost skin clarity, with salicylic acid a great option for problem skin. Invest in a high quality exfoliant two to three nights a week.

• Wear a strong SPF sunscreen every day (even if you’re indoors)
• Boost your treatment results with at-home active skincare products
• Maximise your results with a holistic plan that combines treatments
• Treat your neck and décolletage when you treat your face, so you look great all over
