This Mother’s Day, Austin Skin offers you the perfect opportunity to do both. We invite you to treat both yourself and the special mums, grandmums, mums-in-law and surrogate mums in your life to the skincare they deserve whatever age they may be.
Let’s dive into the importance of the right skincare products and explore our not-to-be-missed Give and Get Mother’s Day promotion that runs from April 11 to May 11!
In Your 20s: Prevention is Key
Ah, the 20s – youthful, radiant skin at its peak! At this stage, you’re likely not dealing with wrinkles or significant skin issues, but that doesn’t mean you should skip out on proper care. The goal here is prevention. “Protecting your skin from the sun and environmental stressors will pay off in the long run,” says Dr Austin. “A basic skincare regimen with a gentle cleanser, lightweight moisturiser, and sunscreen, is essential.” You might also want to incorporate an antioxidant-rich serum to help fight off free radicals that contribute to premature ageing.
In Your 30s: Start Addressing Fine Lines and Hydration
Whoosh! You turn around and suddenly a decade has passed. As you enter your 30s, you may start to notice fine lines around your eyes and mouth, or perhaps your skin isn’t as plump and dewy as it once was. It’s time to amp up your skincare routine. “This is when you’ll want to add products that promote collagen production and boost skin hydration,” recommends Dr Austin. “Look for creams with peptides and hyaluronic acid to keep your skin supple and reduce the appearance of fine lines.” A gentle exfoliator is also helpful to slough off dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin.
In Your 40s: Targeting Wrinkles and Loss of Firmness
Your skin is changing again … noticeably … with sagging, deepening wrinkles, and uneven tone. This is when it’s time to start using more specialised treatments. A rich anti-ageing serum with ingredients such as retinol or Vitamin C can help tackle wrinkles and brighten the skin. Firming creams, along with regular use of sunscreen, become even more important as skin loses its youthful elasticity. Consider professional microneedling and chemical peel treatments for a skin refresh.
In Your 50s and Beyond: Restoring Radiance and Repairing Skin
This can be a daunting time in life and in skin care. As we journey into our 50s and beyond, collagen production slows down even more, and skin can become thinner, drier, and more delicate. This is the time to prioritise products that focus on deep hydration and restoration. Look for richer creams with ceramides and nourishing oils, and don’t forget to keep using sunscreen, as skin becomes more susceptible to damage. A comprehensive skincare routine with gentle exfoliation, hydration, and nourishing treatments will help maintain your skin’s glow and prevent further signs of ageing.
Something for Everyone: Give and Get for Mother’s Day
Now that you’re loaded with knowledge on how to care for your skin throughout life, why not take the opportunity to pamper yourself and your mum with a gift that keeps on giving (literally!): glowing skin, a clean complexion, radiant tone and smooth texture.
From April 11 to May 11, you can purchase a gift card for your Mum – up to $300 – and receive a generous skincare credit for yourself! Here’s how it works:
- Buy a $100 gift card for your Mum and get $25 in credit for yourself.
- Buy a $200 gift card for your Mum and get $50 in credit for yourself.

This credit will be emailed to you in the form of a code, so you can use it on any skincare products you desire for your own routine. Whether you’re in need of an age-defying serum, hydrating face mask, or a sun-protecting moisturiser, you’ll have the flexibility to treat yourself to the very best.
This promotion is the perfect chance to show your Mum how much she means to you by giving her the gift of luxurious skincare while also treating yourself to products that can enhance your skincare routine.
