Can I slow down my skin ageing?

Can I slow down my skin ageing?

Ageing is natural, but how quickly it shows on your skin is something you can influence. At Beauty Bar in Ware Hertfordshire, we help our clients protect, nourish, and rejuvenate their skin with personalised in clinic treatments and guidance. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s or older, the right preventive steps can keep your skin glowing, firmer, and looking younger for years to come.

The most effective and realistic ways to slow down visible skin ageing, and when to consider professional treatments from your local beauty clinic.

Protect your skin from the sun

Nothing ages the skin faster than UV damage, even on cloudy days.

To keep your collagen safe and prevent pigmentation:

• Use good quality SPF 30 or 50 daily
• Reapply sunscreen outdoors as recommended by the manufacturer
• Wear sunglasses, hats, and choose to stay in shade when possible

UV rays and tanning are one of the top reasons why clients visit us for skin rejuvenation, peels, and pigmentation treatments, prevention truly makes a difference.

 

Avoid smoking

Smoking makes your skin age faster. It damages collagen and elastin, creates deep wrinkles, especially around the mouth. It restricts blood flow, which causes dull, uneven skin. It increases risks of poor healing and chronic inflammation.

Quitting is one of the best anti-ageing decisions you can make.

 

Nourish your skin from inside out

Beautiful skin starts with what you feed it. Include these things in your diet.

• Colourful fruits and vegetables
• Omega 3 rich foods like salmon, walnuts, chia seeds
• Lean proteins
• Whole grains
• Antioxidant rich snacks like berries, green tea, dark chocolate

Your skin uses these nutrients daily to repair itself.

 

Drink water daily

Water keeps your skin supple, radiant and balanced. Drink 2-3 liters of water a day.

Most people underestimate how much clearer and plumper their skin can look by simply drinking more water.

 

Keep your skin care routine consistent

For long term results, consistency beats expensive products.

Recommended basic skincare:

• Gentle cleanser
• Daily moisturiser and night cream
• SPF
• Light exfoliation 1 or 2 times a week

Avoid harsh products that disrupt the skin barrier,  this is when problems like dry skin, irritation, breakouts or early wrinkles start.

Manage your stress

Chronic stress raises cortisol. Cortisol breaks down collagen, triggers breakouts, causes inflammation.

Try simple habits like going for a walk, yoga, deep breathing, tech breaks, a hobby that you enjoy.

 

Get quality sleep

Your skin repairs itself at night. Aim for between 7 and 9 hours of sleep to support:

• Collagen regeneration
• Nice skin texture
• Reduced puffiness
• Improved skin glow

 

Limit drinking alcohol

Alcohol dehydrates and inflames the skin, which accelerates visible ageing.

 

Start professional anti ageing skin treatments early

Beginning gentle treatments in your late 20s or early 30s helps boosting collagen before it declines.

Our clients love alternating between:

Chemical peels that are great for texture, pigmentation, dullness, and fine lines.

Microneedling to boosts collagen, smooths scarring, and tightens the skin.

Mesotherapy and skin boosters are ideal after holidays, sun tanning, or periods of dryness, they deeply moisturise and repair.

Customised facial treatments. Our local beauty salon can adjust your professional skincare plan based on time of year, your lifestyle, age and skin goals.

Rotating treatments yearly gives the best long-term results because each treatment targets ageing from a different angle.

 

Why giving up smoking can help your skin?

• Smoking increases wrinkles and fine lines
• Reduces collagen production
• Causes dull, uneven skin tone
• Slows wound and skin healing
• Raises the risk of skin cancers

If you smoke, and you will stop, your skin will gradually recover its glow and firmness.
