Ageing skin is something we all experience. It’s a natural, beautiful process that tells the story of a life well lived, but as time passes, the skin can begin to change: fine lines appear, elasticity softens, and tone becomes uneven. For many, these shifts can make the face look more tired than they feel inside.

At LUSH, our goal isn’t to erase age; it’s to help your skin function at its healthiest, so you look refreshed, confident, and vibrant at every stage of life.

Skin ageing is influenced by both time and environment. While genetics play a role, external and lifestyle factors often accelerate visible changes.

Common contributors include:

• Natural collagen and elastin decline, leading to loss of firmness
• Sun exposure, which speeds up fine lines and pigmentation
• Dehydration and reduced oil production cause dryness
• Lifestyle habits such as stress, lack of sleep, or smoking
• Repeated facial movement that gradually forms expression lines

Our clinicians assess how your skin is ageing and focus on restoring strength, hydration, and balance to support long-term skin health rather than just surface appearance.

At LUSH, we look at two distinct types of ageing, intrinsic and extrinsic, to understand what’s truly influencing your skin.

• Intrinsic Ageing: The natural, internal process that occurs over time. It’s determined by genetics and happens gradually as collagen and elastin production slow, cell turnover decreases, and skin becomes thinner and drier.

   

• Extrinsic Ageing: The influence of external factors such as UV exposure, pollution, lifestyle, stress, and skincare habits. These accelerate visible signs of ageing, including pigmentation, wrinkles, and loss of firmness.

By understanding how both forms interact, we can target the causes, not just the symptoms, helping your skin stay stronger, smoother, and more resilient over time.

We begin with a Diagnostic Skin Consultation to understand your skin’s current state and recommend a personalised plan. Your clinician may suggest a combination of advanced skin, laser, or medical treatments designed to renew and strengthen from within.
