Can you recommend skin treatments for a woman in her 30’s?

November 9th, 2012
Q.
Thank you for your response Peter, yes please if you don’t mind naming some products in your opinion that would be a good buy for skin in its 30’s to help keep it as youthful as possible. You also mention Retinol this is not something I’ve ever heard of, is it a product?. This is such a great way to get information about these types of things. I really appreciate all your help and I am sure these answers will help numerous woman across the country too.

For a vitamin C serum I really rate Medik8 CE-Tetra.
Vitamin C should be applied every morning, as your first ‘layer’ after cleansing. Apply very thinly over the whole face & neck. No advantage in slapping on thickly and no need to use more than once a day. A 30ml bottle of CE-Tetra should last at least two months.

For a Retinol, I can’t recommend highly enough GloTherapeutics Renew Serum. Use before bed. Start only every 3-4 days and build up to nightly over a period of 3-4 weeks to avoid irritation. Don’t use on the neck or lower lids initially.

For info about Retinoids, see my blog http://www.drforrester.co.uk/blog/?p=322

Hope this helps,

I’m spending a lot of money on make up and beauty products, is it better value for money to try dermal fillers?

Hi, quick question Adrian – I seem to be spending a lot recently on make up and beauty products to make me look younger and my skin firmer. Probably around £40 per month if not more. I have never had any cosmetic surgery and was just wondering if you think it may be better value for money to try Botox or a dermal filler? Can you buy a few treatments at a time to bring down the cost or is it just one off treatments only? Thanks Adrian hope to hear from you soon!
A.
You are right that non surgical treatments may be better value money for you in the long run.

I think it would be best if you sent a photo of the areas of concern to us at info@aurora-clinics.co.uk and we will provide you with our expert advice on the best way forward.
