why is my skin aging?
Noticing changes in your skin as you get older? You're not alone. From fine lines and crepey texture to loss of firmness and collagen, we answer some of the most common questions our clients ask about ageing skin- and what you can actually do to improve it
How can i imrpove my skin after 40?
Your 40s can bring noticeable changes to your skin. Collagen and elastin production naturally decline, skin cell turnover slows and hormonal changes can affect hydration, firmness, pigmentation and sensitivity. You may start noticing fine lines, crepey texture, dullness, pigmentation or a loss of firmness - sometimes even when you haven't changed your skincare routine. The good news? There is so much you can do to support healthier, stronger and more radiant-looking skin.
The most effective approach to improving your skin after 40 would be:
- Applying O Cosmedics Mineral Pro SPF 50 daily : UV exposure is one of the biggest contributors to premature skin ageing and collagen breakdown, so daily sun protection is essential
- Introducing O Cosmedics Retinol 1% or Sircuit Skin Cosmeceuticals Infusion-A: Vitamin A can support skin renewal and collagen production, helping improve the appearance of fine lines, pigmentation and uneven texture over time
- Prioritise hydration and your skin barrier: As skin can become drier and more sensitive with age, nourishing moisturisers and barrier-supporting ingredients help maintain a healthy, comfortable and resilient complexion.
- Incorporating Sircuit Skin Cosmeceuticals Sircuit Weapon and O Cosmedics Hyaluronic Serum: Ingredients such as vitamin C and niacinamide can help protect against environmental stressors while supporting overall skin health.
- A series of Dermapen 4 Skin needling, Jet Plasma and our Advanced Healthy Facial: Professional treatments can work at a deeper level to encourage collagen production and improve skin texture, firmness and resilience . These treatments can also complement your home skincare routine and help address concerns at a deeper level
WHY DOES MY SKIN LOOK OLDER ALL OF A SUDDEN?
Sometimes it can feel like your skin has aged overnight. One day you look in the mirror and notice fine lines, dullness, crepey texture or a loss of firmness that you don't remember seeing before. The reality is that skin ageing happens gradually, but there are times when those changes can suddenly become much more noticeable.
One of the biggest factors is the natural decline in collagen and elastin. From our 20s onwards, collagen production gradually decreases. As we move through our 40s and beyond, this loss of structural support can become more noticeable, with fine lines deepening, firmness decreasing and skin beginning to appear thinner or more crepey.
Hormonal changes can also have a significant impact. During perimenopause and menopause, changing hormone levels can affect the skin's hydration, thickness and resilience, making existing lines and changes in texture suddenly seem much more obvious.
Other factors can contribute, including:
- Sun exposure and accumulated UV damage
- Dehydration, which can make fine lines appear more noticeable
- Slower skin cell turnover, contributing to dullness and uneven texture
- Changes in facial volume, which can alter the way the skin sits on the face
- Stress and lack of sleep, which can affect overall skin health
- Changes in your skincare routine or products that aren't supporting your skin barrier
how can i improve crepey skin?
Crepey skin develops as the skin gradually becomes thinner, less hydrated and loses collagen and elastin- the proteins responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth and resilient. Sun exposure, hormonal changes and the natural ageing process can all contribute to these changes. The good news is that while we can't stop the ageing process, we can improve the appearance, texture and firmness of crepey skin with the right combination of skincare and professional treatments. At Upgrace Skin & Body, we look beyond simply treating the appearance of ageing skin. We want to understand why your skin is changing and create a treatment plan designed around your individual skin goals.
The most effective approach to improving crepey skin would be:
- Applying O Cosmedics Mineral Pro SPF 50 daily: Protecting your skin from UV exposure is one of the most important steps in preventing further collagen breakdown and premature ageing
- Incorporating O Cosmedics Retinol 1% or Sircuit Skin Cosmeceuticals Infusion-A: These can encourage skin renewal and support collagen production over time
- Consistent hydration: A well-hydrated skin barrier can appear smoother, plumper and more supple, helping to soften the appearance of fine, crepey texture
- A series of Dermapen 4 Skin needling, Jet Plasma and our Advanced Healthy Facial: Professional treatments can work at a deeper level to encourage collagen production and improve skin texture, firmness and resilience

Dermapen 4 is an amazing treatment to treat signs of ageing, as it creates thousands of precise micro-channels in the skin, which stimulates the body's natural healing response and encouraging new collagen and elastin production. Over time, this can help improve the firmness, texture, thickness and overall quality of ageing skin, making it a particularly valuable treatment for clients experiencing visible collagen loss.
Dermapen 4 may help to improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Crepey or thinning skin
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Skin resilience and overall quality
Unlike treatments that simply create a temporary plumping effect, Dermapen 4 is designed to stimulate your skin's own collagen-building processes. The result is gradual- your skin continues to remodel and strengthen in the weeks and months following treatment.
