the ingredients to healthy youthful skin

While it's not possible to completely reverse aging, certain approaches drastically help mitigate its effects and promote healthier, more youthful-looking skin, and our member Alice at the Glow Skin Clinic has the secrets for you.


Did you know it’s possible to drastically help signs of aging? Well, listen up because I've got the secrets. 

Aging gracefully is not just a dream anymore. One of the most effective ways to defy the clock is through a dedicated skincare routine, backed by science and nourished by nature. I work with AlumierMD which is medical grade and is proven to give the results we all want! I’m addicted!

There are three powerhouse ingredients I recommend incorporating into your skincare routine: retinol, vitamin C, and SPF. Retinol, a form of vitamin A, has been hailed as a holy grail ingredient for its ability to stimulate collagen production, reduce wrinkles, and even out skin tone. Incorporating a retinol-based serum or cream into your nightly routine can work wonders in revitalising your skin and restoring its youthful glow.

Next up is vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that helps defend the skin against free radical damage and promote collagen synthesis. By incorporating a vitamin C serum into your morning routine, you can protect your skin from environmental stressors, brighten dark spots, and achieve a more radiant complexion. It’s like giving your skin a daily dose of sunshine in a bottle – without the harmful UV rays.

Last but certainly not least is SPF, the ultimate defender against premature aging and skin cancer. Sunscreen is not just a summertime essential; it’s a year-round necessity for maintaining youthful, healthy skin. By applying a broad-spectrum SPF 40 or higher every day, rain, or shine, you can shield your skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation and prevent photoaging, such as wrinkles, dark spots, and sagging skin.

Skincare goes beyond just these three ingredients. It’s about finding a routine that addresses your skin’s unique needs and concerns. From gentle cleansers and hydrating moisturisers to exfoliating acids and nourishing face masks, there’s a world of products available to help you achieve your skincare goals.

Remember that consistency is key. Building a skincare routine takes time and patience, but the results are well worth the effort. By committing to a daily skincare routine that includes retinol, vitamin C, and SPF, along with other complementary products tailored to your skin type, you can unlock the secrets to youthful, radiant skin – and embrace the beauty of aging gracefully.

My number one tip for sticking to a routine is to make it enjoyable and easy, don’t wait until you are too tired in the evening to do your skincare routine! I do my skincare routine as soon as the kids are asleep. I also leave my cleanser in the shower so that when I have my morning shower the cleanser is there ready to go.
