The Salmon Sperm Facial
A few years ago if you had said to me one day I'd be having injections of salmon sperm in my face I'd have laughed you out of the room and suggested a prompt mental health assessment. But it's 2024! Of course I've had salmon DNA injected in my face! In fact, it's the fastest growing treatment at my clinic and I'm constantly being asked about it. So, if you're also a little quizzical or on the fence, in short, purified fragments of salmon sperm are injected in tiny micro doses under the skin. It's quite comfortable and large areas can be treated such as whole face, under eye area, hands and the neck. This clever treatment, stimulates your own body to create more collagen and elastin, leaving you looking genuinely more refreshed, with a smoother complexion and less dark circles. The results are impressive. 3-4 treatments are recommended, taken 2-4 weeks apart and results can start to be seen from around 6-8 weeks and last around 18 months.

Summer Skincare
Incorporating a daily SPF into your skincare routine is non-negotiable.
Some of my favourites are:
La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50+ (around £20)
Ultra Violette Supreme Screen SPF 50+ (£34)
Heliocare 360 (around £25)
Soltan Once Age Defence spf 50 (£13) - this is actually my favourite right now - and the price is amazing. Put the saving towards a microneedling treatment to really ramp up your collagen levels and leave your skin in tip top condition!!
The Collagen buzz
Collagen is the main structural protein found in skin and other connective tissue. As we enter our late twenties to early thirties, our skin undergoes changes as collagen levels begin to fall by around 1% every year.
Fine lines begin to surface, typically around the eyes and mouth, due to how mobile these areas are.
The benefits of taking a collagen supplement (particularly once we hit our 40s) are well researched. I would recommend taking 5-10g per day to notice a difference. It can take a couple of months to notice the benefits but persevere! Admittedly it's a bit of an information minefield out there - do you choose bovine or marine collagen? You'll find equal numbers of studies supporting both, so don't overthink it, just buy from a reputable brand. It may improve skin, hair and nails and improve joint pains.
Buy Ancient + Brave collagen from Groove direct or ask about samples at your next appointment.

Farewell to cheap and cheerful
Sadly, for most of us, the cheap and cheerful products we relied on in our youth are no longer up to the task. Full of synthetic ingredients and buffers, they simply haven't got high enough concentrations of the active ingredients our skin needs. This marks an opportune moment to elevate your skincare regime to formulations enriched with more 'active' ingredients.
