PERIMENOPAUSE & YOUR SKIN… WHAT NOBODY TELLS YOU! 👀

Have you looked in the mirror recently and thought…

💭 Why does my skin suddenly look older?
💭 Why is my usual skincare not working anymore?
💭 Where has my glow gone?
💭 Why is my skin suddenly so dry or sensitive?

You're not imagining the changes! 💗

During perimenopause, fluctuating hormone levels, particularly oestrogen, can affect your skin in ways you might not expect.

Here's what you may start to notice 👇

✨ DRIER, DEHYDRATED SKIN
Changes in your skin's ability to retain moisture can leave it feeling tighter, drier and less comfortable.

✨ LOSS OF FIRMNESS & ELASTICITY
As oestrogen levels change, collagen production and skin structure can be affected, making fine lines and changes in firmness more noticeable.

✨ SUDDEN BREAKOUTS
Thought spots were a thing of the past? Hormonal fluctuations can contribute to adult acne, even if you've always had relatively clear skin.

✨ INCREASED SENSITIVITY
Products you've used for years may suddenly feel irritating as your skin becomes more reactive.

✨ CHANGES IN SKIN TEXTURE
Your skin may start looking duller, feeling rougher or simply not behaving like it used to.

SO, WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
The answer isn't necessarily buying more skincare.

It's understanding what your skin needs NOW, rather than continuing with the same routine you've used for the last 10 years.

I believe in treating the skin in front of me, not just following trends.

From barrier-supporting facials to personalised skincare advice, we can work together to help your skin look and feel its best through these changes.

Because your skin is changing, but that doesn't mean you have to stop feeling confident in it. Have you noticed changes in your skin during your 40s or 50s?

Tell me in the comments — what's been your biggest skin struggle?
Or DM me SKIN if you'd like help finding the right treatment for you.

“You’re too expensive.” And I agreed.

Because we all have different budgets and priorities, and I respect that. 💗

But I also know what goes into every appointment at Elite Beauty.

Over 15 years of experience. A nutrition degree that helps me understand the relationship between diet and skin. Continual training to keep my knowledge current and my skills relevant.

Then there are the products: the natural skincare I choose and the quality professional products I invest in, because what I use on your skin matters.

All of this shapes the care you receive — the questions I ask, the treatment I recommend and the advice you take home.

You should feel comfortable with what you spend, and confident in the person you choose to care for you.

If you’re looking for an experienced therapist who takes the time to listen and tailor your treatment, I’d love to welcome you.

If I wanted glowing skin in 90 days, here's exactly what I'd do… ✨

And spoiler alert: I wouldn't start by buying another expensive serum.

One of the biggest mistakes I see women making with their skin is constantly changing products, trying new trends and expecting instant results.

But the secret to healthier-looking, glowing skin?

CONSISTENCY.

🤍 A simple routine that actually suits your skin.

🤍 Understanding what's causing your skin concerns.

🤍 Professional treatments tailored to what your skin needs.

🤍 Looking after your skin barrier.

🤍 Giving your skin time to respond.

You don't need perfect skin. You need a plan that works for YOU.

And that's exactly why I created the Elite Skin Club.

Because I don't want you to have one lovely facial and then forget about your skin for another six months.

I want to help you build a routine, stay consistent and feel confident in your skin.

Imagine looking back in 90 days and knowing you've finally started giving your skin the attention it deserves.

WHAT CAN IT HELP WITH?

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating its natural repair response and collagen production.

It can help improve the appearance of:

✔ Fine lines and early signs of ageing
✔ Acne scarring
✔ Uneven skin texture
✔ Enlarged-looking pores
✔ Some types of scarring

WHAT RESULTS CAN YOU EXPECT?
This isn't an overnight transformation
You might notice your skin looking fresher as it recovers, but improvements in texture and firmness take time.

Collagen remodelling happens gradually, and a course of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns.

WHAT ABOUT DOWNTIME?
Expect some redness, warmth and sensitivity afterwards, a little like mild sunburn.

For many people, this settles within 24–72 hours, although redness, dryness or peeling can last longer depending on treatment depth and skin sensitivity.

You'll need to be gentle with your skin afterwards and follow your aftercare instructions carefully.

IS IT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?

No — and that's important.

Microneedling may not be suitable if you have:

❌ Active skin infections or cold sores
❌ Inflamed acne in the treatment area
❌ Certain inflammatory skin conditions or an impaired skin barrier
❌ A history of poor wound healing or keloid scarring

Pregnancy, medications and medical conditions also need to be discussed before treatment.

A proper consultation is essential.

SO, IS IT WORTH IT?

For the right person, with the right concerns and realistic expectations — absolutely, it can be a worthwhile investment.

But the key is choosing a treatment that's right for YOUR skin, not just following the latest trend.

At Elite Beauty, we focus on personalised, results-driven skin treatments.
