class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Ask A Dermatologist: How Can I Plump Up My Skin?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>What do we mean when we talk about plump skin? Well, it\u2019s skin that is fresh and glowy, with a natural bounce. It\u2019s soft and well-hydrated \u2013 in short, plump skin is the kind of skin that everyone wants. But is it really achievable?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we get older, our skin changes and loses volume \u2013 this is just a natural part of the ageing process. However, there are some ways you can rejuvenate your skin and promote plumpness. We got the details from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">expert Dermatology Team<\/a>, Dr Beibei, Dr Jason and Dr Malvina \u2013 soft, strong skin, here we come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Why does our skin lose volume as we age?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSkin loses volume primarily due to chronological ageing and environmental exposure, most importantly UV radiation,\u201d explains Dr Beibei, Dermatologist at Skin + Me. The production of collagen, the protein that creates and strengthens tissues in the body, slows down over time, and this process happens faster when the skin is exposed to the sun. This results in a loss of firmness and more wrinkles and fine lines are appearing. It\u2019s totally normal, but if you want to support your skin and give it a boost then there are a few things you can do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to plump up your skin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that we can\u2019t truly turn back the clock, and our skin will always change over time, no matter what we do. However, there are some easy ways you can improve firmness and fullness, to help you (and your skin) feel great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Optimise your skincare routine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A strong skincare routine will go a long way in helping you achieve your goals. A lot of skincare products talk about their anti-ageing properties, but not all of them will really make a difference, so choose wisely. Educating yourself about the ingredients that actually promote collagen production is a great way to make smart skincare decisions \u2013 we\u2019ll give you a rundown of what to look out for below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019d also recommend getting some help from a professional \u2013 whether that\u2019s making an appointment with a dermatologist, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/consultation\/sign-up\/all-about-you\/skin-goals\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/consultation\/sign-up\/all-about-you\/skin-goals\">signing up for Skin + Me<\/a> \u2013 a tailormade skincare routine and personalised advice will always be the best way to tackle your skin concerns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Protect your skin from the sun<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shielding your skin is a vital step for everyone, and especially those who want to reduce the early signs of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/skin-ageing-101\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3061\">skin ageing<\/a>, such as loss of volume. \u201cI always recommend that you wear a broad spectrum SPF of at least factor 30 every day and even indoors,\u201d says Dr Malvina, Consultant Dermatologist at Skin + Me. \u201cUV exposure is thought to be responsible for 80% of the visible signs of ageing and the main culprit, UVA light, penetrates through glass.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need some help picking your new everyday sunscreen? We recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/sunscreen\">Daily Defence SPF 50 Oil-free Sunscreen \u2013 it\u2019s <\/a>packed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-niacinamide\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3754\">niacinamide <\/a>to nourish your skin, dries down clear and won\u2019t clog your pores. Win-win-win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get plenty of sleep<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Jason, Head of Medical at Skin + Me explains, \u201cGood <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-is-beauty-sleep-real\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4314\">sleep <\/a>equals good skin. When we sleep our skin goes into rest and repair mode \u2013 it\u2019s when our skin regenerates itself without any interference from UVA, UVB light, stress and more. Sleep well and your skin will look healthy and rested.\u201d Prioritise your shut-eye \u2013 yes, that means no late-night doom scrolling \u2013 and you might notice that your skin looks and feels fresher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Skincare ingredients to plump up your skin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how can you build a routine that will keep your skin feeling full of life?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHydrating products such as serums and moisturisers containing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-humectants\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4707\">humectants <\/a>can plump the skin,\u201d explains Dr Beibei. \u201cSome peptides have been shown to boost collagen and therefore have a longer term plumping effect. Other collagen-boosting ingredients include retinoids and vitamin C.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Humectants <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-humectants\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4707\">Humectants <\/a>are substances that retain moisture, making them an essential in any good beauty routine, and especially if you want to boost your skin\u2019s firmness. Dr Jason says, \u201cThey work by attracting and holding onto water from the environment and also from the deeper layers of your skin.\u201d You\u2019ll find humectants in moisturisers and serums, including our very own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/full-routine\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/full-routine\">Soothe + Smooth Moisturiser duo<\/a>. Look out for glycerin, urea,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-hyaluronic-acid\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3864\"> hyaluronic acid<\/a> and betaine, which help promote soft, supple skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vitamin C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a nutrient found in plenty of fruits and vegetables \u2013 as you probably know, it\u2019s essential for your overall health. However, over the last few years it\u2019s been growing in popularity as a topical skincare product too, due to a whole host of impressive benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin C improves skin hydration, helps to smooth out fine lines and promotes firmness. It\u2019s also an antioxidant, meaning that it protects against free radicals and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-pollution-defence-and-protective-skincare\/\"> pollutants<\/a>. Think of it as a shield against all the external stressors the day throws at you, making it an excellent addition to your morning routine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to add this hardworking multitasker to your regime? Add a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/serum\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/serum\">Brighten + Boost Firming Vitamin C serum<\/a> to your next Skin + Me box, or drop by the Skincare Shop to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/shop\/firming-vitamin-c-serum\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/shop\/firming-vitamin-c-serum\">order a one-off bottle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Peptides <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins,\u201d explains Dr Jason. There are numerous kinds, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-peptides\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5536\">peptides <\/a>in skincare are often signalling peptides, which carry information about proteins, or carrier peptides, which help with protein production.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is this relevant to your skin? Well, the proteins built by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ingredient-deep-dive-peptides\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5536\">peptides <\/a>include \u201ccollagen, elastin, and keratin, which are essential for maintaining the skin\u2019s structure, elasticity, and firmness,\u201d says Dr Jason. We\u2019ve included some tightening peptides in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/shop\/firming-vitamin-c-serum\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/shop\/firming-vitamin-c-serum\">Brighten + Boost Firming Vitamin C Serum<\/a> \u2013 palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 work together to enhance collagen and promote skin elasticity, for plump, radiant skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Retinoids<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-the-difference-between-retinol-and-retinoids\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1954\">retinoid <\/a>is the broad term for a family of compounds derived from vitamin A. The term retinoid covers both over-the-counter formulations and prescription retinoids. There are several other types of retinoid, which we\u2019ve listed in order of increasing strength: retinyl retinoate, retinol, retinal and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/tretinoin-101\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3530\">tretinoin <\/a>(a prescription-strength ingredient also known as retinoic acid).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weaker retinoids like retinol need to be converted to retinoic acid, which activates retinoid acid receptors found on skin cells. However, tretinoin is already in the form of retinoic acid, so it works directly on the receptors \u2013 this is why tretinoin is more effective than over-the-counter retinoids. They increase collagen, which acts like scaffolding for your skin, along with elastin which keeps it feeling supple. Using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/tretinoin-101\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3530\">tretinoin <\/a>consistently results in a plumper dermal layer which makes the skin appear more youthful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can cosmetic treatments plump up your skin?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLots of cosmetic treatments such as microneedling, lasers and skin boosters can be utilised to plump the skin,\u201d notes Dr Beibei. \u201cObviously they are not for everyone, but they can definitely yield impressive results and complement a collagen-preserving and boosting skincare routine.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about booking in for a cosmetic treatment, make sure you do plenty of research and only go to a reputable practitioner. And, make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-combining-cosmetic-and-beauty-treatments-with-tretinoin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3265\">check out our guide to combining cosmetic treatments with active ingredients<\/a> \u2013 at Skin + Me, safety will always come first.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Skin ageing is inevitable, but a collagen-boosting routine can help to maintain your skin\u2019s fullness and smooth fine lines. Look out for plumping ingredients, like retinoids, vitamin C, peptides and humectants, to give your skin the nourishment it needs. And remember, less is more. You don\u2019t need a million products \u2013 a few well-chosen multitaskers can do a world of good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f0f6fb\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#edf5f8\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f0f6fb\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>New to Skin + Me? <\/strong>Get your first month of personalised skincare for \u00a34.99 with promo code DOSE \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/consultation\/sign-up\/create-account\">complete our quick consultation here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking for a routine refresh? <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/login?back=%2Faccount-summary%2Fmanage-upcoming-orders\">Add the Dream Routine to your Skin + Me subscription<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In need of a restock? <\/strong>Head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/shop\">The Skincare Shop<\/a> for one-off purchases of your Routine Essentials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want bouncy, happy skin?
