If you are someone who has had injectable aesthetics treatments before, you will know how good it can feel to see your wrinkles ironed out, or to immediately firm saggy looking skin.
Injectable treatments like anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers will always be popular options for patients who want an instant fix, but did you know that there are some other key factors that play a role in achieving a great complexion and more youthful looking skin?
How lifestyle choices effect skin health
Lifestyle plays a significant role in shaping what our skin quality looks like. A well balanced diet rich in nutrients, regular exercise, staying hydrated and not smoking are essential steps in maintaining your skin health.
What you eat and how you care for your body have a profound impact on your complexion and what your skin looks like, however, lifestyle is only one part of the equation.
The next step to achieving great skin lies in investing in quality skincare products.
At my clinic in Salisbury, I often emphasise the importance of skincare as the foundation of any aesthetic journey. While injectable treatments like fillers or anti-wrinkle injections can provide impressive results, they work best when your skin is healthy, nourished, and hydrated.
The best skincare products for healthy looking skin
If you are wanting to invest in your long term skin health, it’s important to use clinically proven skincare products. These types of cosmetic products are often referred to as ‘medical grade skincare’.

Medical grade skincare utilises active ingredients and they work more effectively than products that you can buy over the counter. Because these types of products are stronger you will only be able to buy them from an authorised retailer, such as an aesthetics clinic or dermatologist.
AlumierMD skincare
At Fountain of Youth my go to medical grade skincare brand is AlumierMD. Alumier’s medical grade skincare is designed to deliver potent, targeted solutions that go far beyond what high street products can achieve.
They have products that have been formulated to address all types of skin concerns, from ageing skin to acne, and from dry, combination and oily skin, Alumier has a solution.
One of my favourite Alumier products is the Ultimate Boost Serum. It’s a lightweight hydrating serum that contains powerful antioxidants and peptides to support skin rejuvenation. It not only enhances the skin’s moisture barrier but also protects against environmental damage.

Another brilliant product is HydraRich, a deeply nourishing moisturiser packed with shea butter and peptides to restore hydration and support elasticity. Both of these products are fantastic examples of how AlumierMD combines cutting edge science with luxurious formulations to achieve outstanding results.

The reason skincare is such an important first step is simple; it provides the perfect foundation for aesthetic treatments.
Healthy skin that has been looked after responds better to aesthetic injectable treatments, and the results always last longer and look better!
For me, the goal is always to achieve results that complement your natural beauty and my advice to patients is always to invest in the right skincare first.
