Four Decades Of Skin
I grew up in the 70s and 80s, where education around sun damage was just saved for holidays and even then I caked myself in baby oil to get the best tan!!! In my 20s and 30s, it was all about the tan and I also had super oily skin, so anything that would mattify it was priority. In ny 40s, the effects of smoking and too much wine gave me an uneven skin tone and shiny skin was still an issue, I knew nothing of salicylic acid!!! Since working in aesthetics, yes I have had injectables and surgery, but my focus is using decent skin care and having regular microneedling and chemical peels. I don’t smoke or drink these days, I go to the gym, try to drink plenty of water and eat a balanced diet. I also try to get a good 8 hours sleep every night. A combination of treatments and lifestyle ensures that my skin is probably the best it has ever been. These days I can honestly say I am ‘skin confident’!!!!
