Why Midlife Skin Needs a New Approach - And What a "Soft Reboot" Can Do for You
If you’ve noticed that your skin has started behaving differently in your 40s, 50s or beyond, you’re not alone.
Many of my clients tell me the same thing: "My usual skincare routine just isn’t cutting it anymore."
And that’s exactly where the concept of a Soft Reboot comes in.
What is a Soft Reboot?
Think of a soft reboot as hitting "refresh" on your skinhealth journey, taking a step back, stripping away the complicated layers of products, and refocusing on what actually works for your skin right now.
Midlife skin is different. Hormones shift, stress takes its toll, and the skin’s ability to retain moisture and repair itself slows down. That means the routine you loved in your 20s or 30s may no longer deliver the results you want.
A soft reboot is about simplifying your regime, listening to what your skin truly needs, and incorporating targeted treatments that support healthy, glowing skin at this stage of life.
My Own Skin Journey
I’ll be honest, I’m doing a soft reboot for my skin right now, and it couldn’t be more needed.
Over the past few months, I’ve noticed my skin becoming:
Drier
More prone to hormonal breakouts
Showing signs of hyperpigmentation
The culprits? Stress, hormones, and of course, the natural ageing process.
When I speak with clients in the clinic, I hear this over and over, especially from women navigating perimenopause or menopause. The most common concern? Ageing skin that feels dull, tired, or out of balance.
Why Skin Boosters Are My Go-To Treatment
One of my favourite treatments to recommend and one I’m using myself is Skin Boosters.
These are an absolute game-changer. They not only rejuvenate the skin but also:
Improve texture
Boost hydration
Soften fine lines
Restore that natural, healthy glow
Let’s Tackle a Few Skin Booster Myths:
Myth 1: Skin boosters are fillers
Truth: Skin boosters are not fillers. They are an injectable treatment that delivers deep hydration, improving skin texture, elasticity and radiance.
Formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA), antioxidants, and vitamins, skin boosters help nourish your skin from within.
HA is a substance your skin naturally produces - but levels decline with age. Skin boosters work with your body’s natural processes to restore balance and vitality.
Myth 2: You need lots of sessions for results
Truth: Typically, we recommend 2-3 sessions for best results.
The effects can last anywhere from 6 to 12 months, depending on your skin type and lifestyle.
Myth 3: The injections are painful
Truth: The injections are very fine and superficial. Most clients describe them as completely manageable - and the results are well worth it. Expect an overall natural-looking, refreshed glow - no overdone or "fake" appearance here!
Bring Balance Back to Your Skin
If you feel like your skin is crying out for a reset, a Soft Reboot is the perfect place to start.
By simplifying your skincare and incorporating professional treatments like skin boosters, you can give your skin exactly what it needs at this stage of life.
Trust me, you won’t regret it.
