The 3 Waves of Ageing: What Science Really Says About Your Skin Over Time
For decades, the skincare world has fed us the myth that ageing is slow and steady… a gradual decline starting somewhere around your 30s. But science is calling BS. According to research from Stanford and published in Nature Medicine and Nature Aging, our bodies don’t age in a smooth curve. They age in waves.
Each of these waves triggers dramatic changes inside the body - impacting not just how we look, but how we function at a cellular level. And yes, your skin feels it. DEEPLY.
So, what actually happens during these ageing bursts? And how can we respond with clarity rather than fear? Let’s dive in.
Vitamin C Serums: Clean Beauty Comparison
When it comes to targeted skin serums, the beauty world can feel like a jungle. Big brands promise plump, bright skin. Clean beauty brands promise gentler, low-tox formulas. And you’re left wondering which bottle actually deserves a spot on your bathroom shelf.

Why I Don’t Offer China Doll, Glass Skin, or Diamond Glow Facials (And What I Do Instead)
You’ve seen them trending… China Doll Facial, Glass Skin Facial, DiamondGlow Facial - promising instant smoothness and red-carpet radiance. But here’s the truth: that kind of “glow” often comes at the cost of your skin barrier.
At Glo Younger, we don’t believe in chasing the shine at the expense of your skin’s health. Those aggressive resurfacing treatments might make your skin look glassy for a hot minute, but long-term? They can leave your barrier fragile, dehydrated, and inflamed.
Instead, we work with your skin, not against it - using gentle, intelligent treatments that strengthen, nourish and sculpt for radiance that lasts.
What Happens When Your Skin Barrier Breaks Down
“It’s Not Just Ageing - It’s Menopause. And It’s Time We Talked About It”
It’s 2025. A woman in her 40s or 50s walks into her GP’s office with a list of symptoms that sound suspiciously hormonal… brain fog, sudden belly fat, insomnia, bloating, dry skin, hot flushes, zero libido, mood swings for days.
She’s told: “Your labs look fine. It’s just part of ageing.”
Then handed a script for birth control or antidepressants and sent on her way.
Cue the collective sigh of frustration from midlife women everywhere.
This isn’t healthcare. It’s medical gaslighting.
And when we zoom in on the skin side of menopause?
TGA Sunscreen Ingredient Review 2025: What It Means for Your Skin and Health
If you live in Australia, sunscreen is as essential as your morning coffee. But have you checked the ingredients list on your SPF lately? The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has been reviewing common sunscreen filters and three familiar names might soon be capped or cut entirely.
Let’s break down what’s changing, why it matters for your health (not just the reef) and how to choose a low tox sunscreen that protects both you and the planet.
The Filtered Truth: Fake Before & Afters Are Breaking Our Industry
Let’s cut the fluff. The beauty industry doesn’t need more illusion. It needs truth.
We’re living in a time where anyone with the right tools can create “flawless” before-and-after images. AI-generated models. Filtered perfection. Skin so smooth it doesn’t even look like skin anymore. And the worst part? Most people can’t tell what’s real.
Smoke, Mirrors and Pixels
I recently ran an experiment out of pure curiosity. I asked AI to generate a 12-month skin journey.
The result? Frighteningly realistic.
