Who Does Acne Affect?

Acne is a common skin concern that affects both women and men. It’s commonly mistaken as a condition that only affects teenagers, but acne does affect adults, too – particularly women who may be experiencing a fluctuation in hormones, especially during the menopause.

How To Treat Acne At Home

Mild acne can often be treated with skincare products containing ingredients such as; salicylic acid to unclog your pores, glycolic acid to resurface your skin, and benzoyl peroxide that works as an antiseptic to reduce the bacteria on your skin and bust blemishes.

Anti-Ageing Skincare

As we age, our skin begins to lose collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. At the age of 25, we begin to lose 1.5% of our collagen per year, followed by a 30% decline in the first 5 years of menopause, and 2% per year post-menopause. This leads to our skin losing plumpness and firmness, and we begin to develop fine lines and wrinkles.

Can we reverse skin ageing?

Ageing is influenced by two factors: intrinsic (linked to our family history and genes) and extrinsic (related to environmental factors like diet, lifestyle, and sun damage).
We can’t reverse skin ageing entirely, however, both types of ageing can be treated and vastly improved with specialist skincare and in-clinic treatment programmes. Potent ingredients such as retinol, collagen, peptides, and antioxidants help to increase skin cell production, protect against free radical damage, and lead to a more youthful appearance.
