This can be a tricky subject to talk about in the holistic beauty world, and there are lots of strong opinions around it. So I’ll say this kindly. You do you. Always. If you’re curious, have a read below.
What I see quite often is people investing only in injectables, without first supporting the skin itself.
Injectables, if you choose to do them, are meant to enhance the face, but they don’t replace skin health.
Your skin is the foundation. Its strength, hydration, texture and ability to repair all influence how injectables look and how long results last.
Injectables sit within the skin. When the skin is well supported, everything tends to settle and wear better over time.
From a skin science perspective, healthy skin is better able to tolerate change. A well-functioning barrier, balanced inflammation, good hydration and stronger collagen support all help the skin respond more smoothly.
Facials/skincare play a different role. They support skin health and function, helping with texture, dehydration, sensitivity, congestion and overall skin behaviour.
These are things that change over time and influence how skin looks and feels, but aren’t addressed by injectables alone.
That’s why a skin-first approach matters not instead of injectables, but alongside them.
Supporting the skin helps amplify results and often improves longevity. It’s about working with the skin, not just adding to it.
Skin first. Then enhance, if and when you choose.
