Explore Regenerative Beauty Without Relying On Injections

Regenerative beauty is all your skin and body’s natural ability to renew, repair, and stay glowing over time. These days, needles, injections, and all sorts of treatments are everywhere (and if that’s your thing, go for it girl!). But if you’d rather keep things gentle and natural, there are plenty of ways to get that fresh, healthy look such as skincare, non-invasive treatments, nutrition, and little daily habits that help your skin stay happy.

What Is Regenerative Beauty?

• Supporting the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes rather than just masking the signs of ageing.
• Using ingredients, treatments, and practices that help restore skin function.
• Focusing on long term health and regeneration at the cellular level, not just surface level.

Supplements To Support Regenerative Beauty

Collagen Peptides - Often found in collagen supplements either in pill or powder format. Collagen provides strength, support, and elasticity to various tissues in the body[1].

Omega-3 Fatty Acids - These are essential fats that play an important role in maintaining healthy skin. They help to strengthen the skin's surface, retain moisture, reduce inflammation[2], boost elasticity, and promote a smoother complexion.

Antioxidants - Oxidative stress can speed up signs of ageing. Antioxidants can help maintain smoother, healthier looking skin[3]. Vitamin C and Vitamin E contain natural antioxidants and are usually found in multivitamins.

Silica and Biotin -  A natural way to maintain strong hair and nails while also supporting skin[4].

Nutrition Is Key!

When it comes to regenerative beauty, what you eat can be just as important as what you put on your skin. Colourful fruits and veggies fill your plate with natural antioxidants that help fight off cell damage[5], while protein rich foods give your body what it needs to make fresh collagen. Healthy fats like avocado, nuts, and oily fish keep your skin soft and hydrated[6], but don’t forget to drink plenty of water!. So when you’re planning your meals, try to incorporate your protein and vegetables, or swapping a chocolate snack for a sweet, fruity one instead.

Products To Add To Your Beauty Regime

SPF (Suncream) - We cannot stress this enough. National charity Melanoma’s new survey data shows that 32% of UK adults don’t use sunscreen despite most burning at least once per year[7]. Daily SPF protects against UV damage that speeds up aging, causes pigmentation, and can harm skin cells. You might think you can skip the SPF when it’s cloudy or grey outside, but your skin still needs protection every single day. Up to 80% of UV rays can sneak right through clouds, which means your skin is vulnerable to damage.

Moisturiser - A good moisturiser keeps your skin barrier strong, locks in hydration, and helps prevent dryness and irritation. Make sure you choose one that suits your skin type (lightweight gels for oily skin or richer creams for dry skin).

Barrier Repairing Balms - Sometimes our skin barrier can be damaged either from over-cleansing, exfoliating or just daily stresses. Sometimes it’s tricky to know if your skin barrier is damaged because it can look a lot like regular dry skin. A good clue is if your skin feels irritated or rough in spots where it usually feels smooth and comfortable… that’s often a sign your barrier needs attention.  Balms soothe and strengthen your skin’s natural defences.

Nobody wants to see the first signs of aging sneak up on their skin… especially since those little changes can start as early as your 20s, depending on your skin and lifestyle. While it’s always best to focus on prevention with good habits and protection, sometimes those fine lines and dull patches still make an appearance but that's okay! The important thing is to start caring for your skin early and stay consistent, so you can keep it looking its best for years to come.
