Dermatologist reveals best skincare investments to make this year

In pre-Covid times, your average evening out with the girls would have set you back around £70, and a few nights on the tiles every month and suddenly you were spending almost £1,700 a year on cocktails and dancing. Oh, and don’t forget the £303 a year you would typically spend on takeaway coffee. While this may very well have been money well spent, whilst we are living in lockdown, this is also money – and time – well saved.

So, let’s be smart about how this spare time and extra money is used – how about in our skincare routine?

Hectic schedules have typically meant our skincare routine has been a bit more slap dash than we wanted it to be. No judgement here – we’re all guilty of reaching for a face wipe to quickly remove make-up after a long day rather than the three, four, five, six step routine we should be indulging our skin in.

What’s more, the extra money we are saving from the halt to our commutes, midday coffees and eating out with friends could be the investment fund we need to discover true skin confidence.

Now we have a bit of extra time and spare cash on our hands, Dr Shaaira Nasir, consultant dermatologist for sk:n clinics, shares her skin saviours and investment recommendations to help you combat wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and tired eyes to help us reap the benefits of an investment that will 100% pay off.

Wrinkles – we all get them, they are an unavoidable part of the ageing process (unless you have never moved a muscle in your face, that is). Wrinkles and fine lines exist because whenever we move our face or neck, our muscles contract, and this repetition sets grooves into the skin.

As we age, we naturally produce less elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid, meaning the skin is more susceptible to damage and it loses its natural firmness, making wrinkles and fine lines more prominent. Wrinkles are often a sign of a life lived well, but they can make some of us feel self-conscious – and the good news is, there is plenty that can be done!

If you aren’t keen on injectable treatments, then microneedling could be more your thing; it involves using small needles to cause tiny punctures to the skin which stimulates the healing process.
