Middle age for women is one of the MOST SIGNIFICANT and MEANINGFUL transitions we will go through.
Driven by a decline in circulating oestrogen and progesterone, the consequences of mid life on our skin are significant!
OESTROGEN 📣
Oestrogen is fundamental in the maintenance of skin integrity, its reduction through mid life causes an acceleration in the ageing appearance of skin.
Less oestrogen means:
- less stimulation of fibroblasts.
- less collagen support and elastin synthesis.
- less hylaroinc acid production.
- less regulated sebaceous gland function.
- a smaller gap between oestrogen and testosterone which means a relative androgen increase.
=
- Increased skin laxity
- more pronounced fine lines and wrinkles
- reduced dermal volume (and increased bone reabsorption, worsening support and volume loss).
- thinning of the skin and atrophic (shrinkage) changes.
- impaired skin barrier, leading to a greater risk of inflammation, and pigmentation changes.
- middle aged acne alongside dry skin.
PROGESTERONE 📣
Progesterone becomes unbalanced and these hormonal changes directly affect sebum production, moisture balance, and skin renewal which can lead to various skin problems.
Less progesterone means:
- reduces sebum production, drying out skin and loosing barrier support, compromising its protective function.
- skin is less able to retain moisture which results in tightness, dullness and dryness.
- alongside the rollercoaster of hormones that are fluctuating and decreasing, they make skin more reactive to environmental changes and products.
😱
Midlife represents a period of CHANGE, and we must change our APPROACH to how we support our bodies through it.

Really interesting article on the illegality of remote prescribing and the continued non compliance from some practitioners within the Aesthetics industry.
• guidelines from the NMC, GMC, GDC, and GPhC agree that the practice of remote prescribing within aesthetics is not permitted.
• “By allowing non healthcare professionals to supply restricted medicines, it places members of the public at risk, particularly as these non prescribers are not equipped to recognise adverse effects, let alone manage them.”

I don’t post on here often … and there are a few reasons why:
• I work full time as an ANP in General Practice, and it takes a lot of time, energy and mental capacity to be able to do that to the best of my ability. Unfortunately that means my capacity for posting on social media is very low.
• I have a young family. As most working parents will understand, it’s really hard to get a good work/life balance, and what ‘free’ time I carve out of my working week, I like to spend on my family.
• You have to be very careful what and how you advertise aesthetics. The injections that relax wrinkles use a prescription only medicine, meaning it’s ILLEGAL to advertise them, show before/after photos or offer deals.
• I don’t feel the need to push or influence people into something they may not need. If someone wants support or advice in this area then I believe they will reach out to me for it. I’m more than happy to consult that patient professionally rather than them being force fed often false information on social media.

SPF isn’t just for summer! However, given the extreme weather warnings that have been issued I thought this would be a timely reminder of the importance of protecting your skin from harmful rays! ☀️
A friendly reminder that as we experience hot weather in the UK this week, it is so important to remember to put on SPF!
The top tips are:
1. Wear sunscreen with SPF30 or higher.
2. Cover up as much skin as possible with clothing and a hat
3. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes
4. Seek shade between 11am and 3pm when the sun is at its strongest

Just a reminder that I am away on holiday 1-10 July, if you need to book an appointment before this date please contact me in good time to allow us to book you In ☺️
