Where did that new wrinkle come from?
And that age spot? Or the sagging in my left cheek?
Reality hits: We are ageing, and our skin is too.
as a skin therapist at Lovoir day spa Christchurch, i’ve heard
it all! sentiments from customers about the desire to look
young forever, the urge to edit a not-so-flattering photo, the
insecurities and fear of judgement. it happens to the best of
us – you, me, and a customer who i met recently, stephanie.
Before coming into our salon, stephanie considered herself
blessed with flawless skin throughout her 20s. apart from
the occasional pimple after an all-nighter, she had relatively
problem-free skin and naively assumed it would be this way
throughout her life. However, once she hit her mid 30s, she
started noticing early signs of skin ageing.
it was easy to spot a few wrinkles across her forehead, fine
lines around her eyes, and sun spots on her cheeks. nothing
too alarming, but something she knew was preventing her
from looking her best. Unavoidably, a lot of her skin issues
were caused by her daily sun exposure from walking to work
on weekdays and enjoying the beach on weekends. still,
it was an insight into an inevitable truth – she was getting
older and her skin wasn’t recovering the way it used to.
“i’ve tried so many skincare products and online tips!”
stephanie told me in frustration. while they did help her
skin, the improvements were only surface-level and never
lasted for more than a week. But still, she persisted, because
she understood that beauty came with patience, and so she
settled for what she could get. Unfortunately, that meant
spending a chunk of her time and money to maintain a daily
beauty routine that achieved only mediocre results.
