Ageing Well Isn’t About Perfection—It’s About Feeling Like You
There’s a quiet confidence that comes from feeling comfortable in your skin. It’s not about chasing flawless. It’s about showing up, every day, as the most vibrant version of yourself. At Velora Medical Aesthetics, we support that journey with evidence-based skincare that honours your natural beauty and empowers you to age well—gracefully, gently, and with intention.
But before we explore advanced treatments and active ingredients, let’s get one thing straight: real skin confidence starts with the basics.
Your Essential Skincare Routine (Especially If You’re Over 35)
Think of your skincare routine as the foundation of a beautiful home—if it’s shaky, even the most high-end treatments won’t deliver the results you deserve.
1. Cleanser
Use a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to clear away impurities, pollution, and daily stress. It’s not just about clean skin—it’s about keeping your barrier strong and resilient.
2. Moisturiser
Hydration isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Moisturised skin is smoother, plumper, and far less likely to show early signs of ageing.
3. Broad-Spectrum SPF
This is your non-negotiable. Yes—even in Ireland. UV damage is cumulative, and SPF is hands down the most effective anti-aging skincare step you can take. If you do just one thing for your skin: make it this.
Once You’ve Mastered the Basics, Here’s What to Add
When your foundation is solid, it’s time to introduce targeted, science-backed ingredients that address concerns like dullness, fine lines, pigmentation, and loss of firmness.
The 5 Active Ingredients Every Woman Over 35 Should Know:
1. Retinol (Vitamin A)
Supports collagen production, improves texture, fades pigmentation, and smooths fine lines. Start low and go slow—your future self will thank you.
2. Vitamin C
Brightens, protects, and boosts radiance. Use in the morning under SPF for daily antioxidant defence against pollution, stress, and UV exposure.
3. Hyaluronic Acid
Deeply hydrating, it plumps and soothes the skin—ideal for dry, sensitive, or perimenopausal skin that needs a moisture boost.
4. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Reduces redness, strengthens your barrier, regulates oil, and helps fade sunspots or hormonal pigmentation. Gentle but effective.
5. Peptides
Support skin structure and firmness—perfect if you're noticing subtle sagging or loss of elasticity around the eyes, jawline or neck.
How to Use Active Ingredients the Right Way
Good skin is never about piling on more products—it’s about intelligent layering.
Serums – Apply after cleansing to deliver concentrated ingredients directly to your skin.
Masks – Use weekly to deeply hydrate, clarify, or rejuvenate.
Layering – Introduce one new product at a time. Give your skin time to adapt. Think of it as building a relationship—not a rush to the altar.
The Mistake Most Women Make (And How to Avoid It)
Trying to do too much, too fast.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of chasing instant results, especially when dealing with stubborn concerns like pigmentation or texture. But your skin responds best to gentle consistency. Trust the process, and give your routine time to work.
Pro-Aging Isn’t a Trend. It’s a Mindset.
