We discover how to keep skin healthy, glowing, and supported through every chapter in life.
Remember when the biggest skincare dilemma was waiting ten minutes to swim after applying sunscreen? Or the sting of cream on a stubborn patch of eczema? For most, childhood skin is relatively low-maintenance, but learning the importance of sun protection and gentle barrier care starts here. And then come the teenage years, ushering in a whirlwind of surging hormones, confusing emotions and tricky social dynamics. As if that weren’t enough, skin issues like oiliness, congestion, and breakouts often join the party.
It’s the kind of ordeal that calls on a clinic like Caci. One with a targeted approach to skincare at every age, ensuring these concerns don’t need to spiral. For teens dealing with inflamed or congested skin, specialised treatments like B12 facials, LED Light Therapy and Murad peels can make a real difference. These are designed to calm inflammation, support the skin barrier and help clear congestion—giving young skin a chance to reset, and teenagers a little more confidence in the mirror.
Hormonal imbalances—particularly conditions like PCOS, which affects roughly 10% of Kiwi women—often open up a new chapter of skin challenges. Stubborn breakouts, excess oil, pigmentation and facial hair can surface well beyond your teenage years. At Caci, the focus shifts to restoring balance and improving skin texture. Once active acne is under control, resurfacing treatments like Microneedling and Fractional Laser help tackle scarring and smooth uneven tone. Skincare powered by retinol, sulphur and clarifying gels can complement in-clinic treatments, helping to maintain progress between visits.
Melasma, dryness, sensitivity and breakouts are all common, even for those who’ve never had skin issues before. Caci offers a range of pregnancy-safe, non-invasive treatments like Hydradermabrasion, Microdermabrasion and Sonophoresis Infusions—all designed to gently restore hydration and glow without disrupting what’s most important. At home, the focus should be on barrier protection and hydration: think hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, a nourishing moisturiser, and always—always—SPF.
Perimenopause and menopause often begin in your 40s and bring significant shifts in skin health. Dryness, thinning, dullness and more pronounced pigmentation are common as oestrogen levels decline and collagen production slows. Caci recommends boosting hydration with creams rich in ceramides and shea butter, supporting collagen with retinol or retinal, and maintaining daily SPF. In-clinic, treatments like Microneedling, Photo Rejuvenation and tailored injectables can help restore firmness, improve elasticity and bring back that elusive glow.
At each stage, your skin will change. Sometimes suddenly, sometimes slowly. It will flare, fade, react and renew. But over time, it becomes something deeply personal: a record of where you’ve been, what you’ve overcome, and how you’ve grown.
