As women get older, many feel pressured to look youthful and fork out thousands to improve their aging complexion. But according to Australian Cosmetic Nurse Practitioner, Katherine Millar-Shannon, it’s no longer about ‘fighting’ aging once the damage is already done.
‘Australian women are increasingly interested in nurturing their skin early on, from the inside and out so that they look and feel their best at every age,’ the Duquesa Skin Sanctuary owner explained. ‘We’re starting to embrace the French beauty ethos of aging well by lavishing attention on your skin, rather than making radical changes to achieve an unrealistic ideal of youthful beauty.’
As Australians age up to 20 years faster than women in the USA and Europe, Katherine says it’s more important that women across the country start prioritizing a preventative approach to healthy skin at each age – starting in their late teens.
‘The modern Australian woman wants to love how she looks at every life stage, but they want to do this in a natural, almost undetectable way with subtle enhancements,’ she said. ‘Improvements in nutrition, wellbeing and skincare technology makes that not just possible, but actually quite easy.’Here, FEMAIL looks at Katherine’s top skincare tips for each age group and the best treatments she believes are worthwhile for optimal results.
