Skin + Me Stories: Antonia + Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Hello, and step into Skin + Me Stories – a series where we talk to real-life Skin + Me customers about the good, the bad and the tricky bits of their personal skincare journeys so far. 

Today, we’re talking to Antonia, who’s 48 from Tunbridge Wells, learning all about her skincare mistakes, current routine, and how she’s tackling her fine lines and wrinkles with Skin + Me. 

Tell us about your skincare journey over the years

I really didn’t look after my skin before, and only wore sunscreen if I went to the beach or on holiday. I really neglected my skin over the years, and it came to a point where I thought surgery or Botox would be the only way for me. Instead, I joined a skincare group and discovered the magic that is Skin + Me.  

When did you first start using Skin + Me? 

I started Skin + Me in January 2021 and it’s the best thing that has ever happened to me.

How has the process been overall? 

Since starting, I follow a strict routine of double cleanse, moisturiser and SPF50 every day, and after a couple of months, people started to comment on how glowing my skin looks. I’m now 10 months in, and I look at my before pictures and can’t believe it. My skin is glowing, my fine lines and wrinkles have improved and my sun damage disappeared. I’ve just been to a family wedding and been told I look 10 years younger. 

What advice would you give to someone struggling with their Skin + Me prescription?

I would recommend that people stick to a simple routine and follow the advice. Always remember your SPF50; I wish I had started this much earlier and not neglected my skin for years, but I urge anyone to start as it’s never too late.
