Skincare for Mature Skin: Tips from a Dermal Clinician

As our skin matures, its needs change — and the same routine that worked in your 20s or 30s might no longer deliver the same results. At Platinum Cosmetics, we regularly work with clients who want to care for ageing skin in a way that’s effective, natural, and sustainable.

If you’re looking to support your skin’s health and appearance over time, here’s what our clinicians recommend when it comes to caring for mature skin.

Understand What Changes with Age

From our late 30s onward, the skin naturally begins to produce less collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. This can lead to visible changes such as fine lines, reduced firmness, dryness, and uneven texture. Sun exposure, lifestyle factors, and genetics also play a role in how ageing appears on the skin.

Knowing what to expect helps you choose the right products and treatments with confidence — without falling for unnecessary hype.

Prioritise Hydration and Barrier Support

As skin matures, its ability to retain moisture often decreases. This is why hydration becomes a cornerstone of effective anti-aging skincare. Look for products that contain ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or squalane, which support the skin barrier and improve plumpness.

We also recommend keeping your skincare routine simple and consistent. You can explore our approach to skin health and professional skincare options designed for mature skin types.

Use Targeted Treatments for Volume and Texture

Some clients begin to notice volume loss in areas like the cheeks or around the mouth. At our clinic, we offer wrinkle reduction and volume restoration treatments that support natural outcomes using a tailored, clinical approach.

These treatments are always based on individual assessment and long-term planning — not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Professional Facials for Mature Skin

Regular facials tailored to mature skin can help maintain circulation, improve product absorption, and support ongoing skin renewal. We often recommend our hydrating and anti-aging facials as part of a maintenance routine.

During a consultation, we’ll assess your skin condition and customise each treatment to meet your goals — whether that’s smoothing texture, improving glow, or simply maintaining skin strength over time.

Be Sun-Smart, Every Day

Nothing accelerates skin ageing more than UV exposure. Sunscreen isn’t just for summer — it should be a daily part of your routine, year-round. Even if you’re treating skin concerns in clinic, consistent protection is essential to maintain and support your results.

Consistency is Key

The most effective mature skin routine is one that works for your lifestyle and that you can stick to. Whether that’s a simple cleanser-serum-SPF trio or a more advanced regimen, our team can help you build a plan that supports your skin without becoming overwhelming.
