Collagen – your skin’s most precious asset…

So, what is all the fuss about collagen? Well, let us get into the basics of the dermis layer of our skin. It is made up of three crucial components: 🧡Collagen 🧡Elastin 🧡Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as Hyaluronic Acid. Together, these form the bulk of our skins vital support system- the Extracellular Matrix (ECM) and gives our skin its structure and strength. But as we age these components break down and result in reduced skin tone, fine lines, and wrinkles. Our skin cannot produce enough collagen and elastin to replenish what has been lost, so the skin begins to lose its strength, [...]

#6 Do I Really Need Eye Cream?

Beth20182020-03-02T07:41:37+00:00

There are many reasons why you may think you don’t need an eye cream… You may think your daily moisturiser will do the trick (it won’t), that skin is skin – the eye area is no different to the rest of my face (it is) and I get Botox so there’s no need (yes, there is). Let’s start with the skin around the eye area. Your eye area is one of the first areas to show signs of premature ageing (hello, Botox) – fine lines and wrinkles appear due to squinting and constant movement. Plus, your skin is more fragile, [...]

Did you know your body naturally produces 300 billion cells every day? Now that’s WOW! But there’s a downside… After the age of 30, the quality of those cells starts deteriorating and this is when we can see the beginnings of ageing skin. Genetics (or intrinsic ageing) accounts for 30% of your skin’s ageing. (Yes, you can blame Mum and Dad). The other 70% of ageing occurs from environmental (or extrinsic) factors. Those factors include... Sun Exposure Pollution Smoking Incorrect Skin Care Perfume Makeup (when not removed correctly) And unfortunately, our Australian lifestyle can accelerate our ageing. In fact, a recent [...]

Then you need to get glowing… Here are a number of our targeted treatment programs designed to revitalise, repair and restore your skin that are safe, effective and work. During the height of Australia's summer, your skin constantly struggles against sun, salt, chlorine, hot wind and extremes of heat. This means your skin’s supporting structures - collagen (which give the skin fullness or that plumped look) and elastin (which give the skin the ability to bounce back) get a hammering. And the sun is your number 1 enemy. Prolonged and unprotected exposure to UV radiation destroys collagen and elastin resulting in [...]
