Mature skin will look ‘flawless’ with anti-ageing treatment hailed the ‘best’ – not Botox

is crucial for all skin types, but it’s particularly vital for mature skin, where wrinkles and fine lines are more noticeable if issues like dryness and sensitivity aren’t addressed.

Those with mature complexions may think they’re doing enough to , night cream, or other beauty tonics.

However, award-winning beauty therapist Rebecca Crawforth says one simple treatment is often overlooked.

She said: “It’s true that you’re only as old as you feel, but your skin goes through a lot over the years which can result in dry and sensitive skin as you mature.

“This is why knowing your complexion is essential.”

Rebecca added: “Sensitive,  and we should adapt our beauty routine to this. Your skin will respond better to a non-fragranced moisturiser and a mild chemical exfoliator than perfumed products and exfoliating scrubs.”

Even if you know your skin type, Rebecca suggests a trained professional can provide a more accurate assessment and offer product advice tailored to your evolving complexion. 

“An annual dermatologist check-up is highly recommended for a thorough analysis to ensure we’re feeding our skin exactly what it needs as it changes with age.”

It’s worth noting that the cost of private dermatology in the UK can vary significantly based on the location, the specialist’s expertise, and the type of treatment required. Still, an initial consultation typically costs £150 to £400, with follow-ups costing around £100 to £200.

Rebecca noted that such appointments are not just about maintaining perfect skin. Dermatologists are trained to identify skin conditions that could indicate an underlying health issue — often, they are the first to notice it.

According to the beauty therapist, monthly professional facials are “a huge do” for the best anti-ageing treatment, no matter how high-maintenance they may seem. 

She explained: “The benefits of professional facials are undisputed in improving the skin’s tone and texture and restoring elasticity on mature skin through a deep clean to counteract the damage caused by air pollution and sun exposure.”

“Skincare professionals are also able to assess your skin and tailor your treatment to gently restore moisture to dry and sensitive skin, restoring your glow”, she said.

Many treatments offer instant results for the look and feel of your skin, but they are also a great way to prevent severe dryness or a dull tone.

Rebecca pointed out that regular monthly facial appointments are the “best form of anti-ageing treatment” and can also reduce the need for expensive, restorative products in the future.

While most reputable beauty salons provide restorative facials, it’s crucial to research before making a booking.

The beauty guru highlighted the importance of finding a therapist who specialises in your skin type, calling it a “crucial element that can often be overlooked”.

Yet ensuring you receive the appropriate treatment and products is vital.

A shocking study by Salon Rated revealed that 59% of regular beauty appointment goers don’t know if their beauty professional is insured or properly trained.

She explained: “You can search for accredited salons and professionals by location or treatment type to quickly find a professional near you. You’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re in safe hands whilst attending your appointment, even if it’s your first time.”

Like most spa services, facials come at varied prices depending on the treatments involved. A Groupon expert detailed that treatments like microdermabrasion or special chemical peels will be pricier than a standard facial, which usually retails at around £50.
