A Dermal Clinician’s Tips for slowing down Ageing

Dermal Clinician and owner of Skin Clinic Blyss, Jodie has been providing personalised skin treatments for clients for several years. Essentially, there are four key areas that Jodie and the team recommend to assist with slowing down the ageing process:

• Sun Protection
• Healthy Lifestyle Choices
• Professional In Clinic Treatments
• Quality Skincare

Aging is a natural process that affects everyone, but there are ways to slow down its visible effects and keep our skin looking youthful and radiant. Ageing can be broken down into intrinsic, or chronological ageing  – the inevitable genetically determined ageing process that naturally occurs and Extrinsic ageing – lifestyle choices that contribute to skin ageing including smoking, diet, excesses (including alcohol) and UV exposure.

As well as this from approximately 23 years of age, we begin to lose on average 1% of collagen per year – until menopause, and then the bad news is we lose 30% over the next five years (yes, 30%!!), continuing after menopause at a further 2% of the collagen we have remaining for the remainder of our lives.

By following these few tips, can reduce the likelihood of premature ageing – as well as a few tips on how to turn back the clock and slow down the ageing process.

1. Sun Protection

Follow the rules of sun protection, sunscreen is your skin’s best defence against premature aging and sun damage. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, and reapply every two hours, especially when outdoors.

Opt for sun-protective clothing and seek shade during peak sun hours to further shield your skin from harmful UV rays. If you’re looking for chic rash vests for fun in the sun, look no further than @theaquabrand. These on point rashies for women with protection from the harsh Australia sun.

2. Healthy Lifestyle Choices

We’ve heard it all before, but it’s true?? Maintain a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to support skin health and combat oxidative stress. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and limit consumption of alcohol and sugary beverages, which can dehydrate the skin and lead to glycation – deep lines and ‘leathering’ of the skin.

Incorporate regular exercise into your routine to improve circulation and promote a youthful complexion.

3. Professional In-clinic Treatments

Best options: RF needling (Radiofrequency Microneedling),  Registered Nurse performed Cosmetic treatments & Skin Boosters

RF Needling is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles, and improves skin texture – as well as treating scars and skin health.

We suggest you consider Registered Nurse performed Cosmetic treatments, to soften (not freeze) facial muscles and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Skin boosters, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin from within, providing a plump and radiant complexion.

4. Quality Skincare

Consult with a professional to develop a personalised  and targeted skincare routine tailored to your skin type and concerns. Incorporate products containing retinoids (such as retinol) to stimulate collagen production, increase skin cell turnover, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Antioxidant-rich skincare formulations help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from environmental damage, promoting a youthful and radiant complexion.
