Profiles Clinic

The top 5 things I see in clinic that are ruining your skin health👇🏼

5. Using products which aren’t suitable for your skin type. This is a huge one that I see weekly, it’s so important to use products which suit your skin type. If you have sensitive/rosacea skin and you’re using lots of acids & harsh products, this can strip your skin barrier, resulting in dry, irritated, cracked skin which makes redness/sensitivity worse and it can also be the root cause of breakouts.

On the other hand, if you’re prone to acne and are using thick creams/products and aren’t exfoliating, this can clog your skin further, resulting in more breakouts.

4. Rapid weight loss - Rapid weight loss results in loss of structure beneath the skin which can result in premature sagging/ageing. Especially with GLP-1’s which I’m seeing a lot of recently. Whilst they are amazing for weight loss for so many people, don’t let your goal be to lose as much weight as possible in as little time as this can create loss of muscle/facial support which results in a sagging, aged appearance. Losing it gradually over time is a much safer option.

3. High sugar intake - A high sugar diet can result in the break down of collagen & elastin - The proteins which support our skins health. This can accelerate ageing, causing sagging, inflammation & make skin less firm & supported.

2. Smoking/Vaping - This one is huge. It reduces collagen, elastin & accelerates ageing at a rapid rate. Facial fat pads reduce and begin to drag the face downwards. It also constricts blood vessels and blood flow. Think loose, sagging, thin skin with little support underneath it. Sometimes, this can’t be corrected with any treatment. Not fillers, toxin or any skin rejuvenating treatment.

1. Number one will always be sunbeds/sun exposure. It damages collagen and elastin which accelerates ageing at a highly rapid rate. It generates free radicals which damage skin cells and DNA. The skin becomes thick & leathery, with little support beneath it. Wrinkles form as well as loss of firmness, enlarged pores and a rough skin texture. It can also dry out the skin so the skin creates more oils as a result which can contribute to acne/breakouts.
