The Beauty Protocole

I found some of my old beauty videos from before Reels existed and
completely forgot how calm old instagram used to feel.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉🏻No content strategy.
👉🏻No pressure to stop the scroll in 3 seconds.
👉🏻No trying to turn every skincare tip, makeup look or outfit into a full production.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌟Instead just naturally sharing fashion, beauty and lifestyle moments because I genuinely enjoyed it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧡It felt slower.
🧡Less polished.
🧡Less hurried.
🧡And somehow, more real.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe that’s why so many of us feel nostalgic for old Instagram. And why simple photos, slower content and unfiltered moments are making such a comeback.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But this little trip down memory lane also reminded me that maybe we’ve been overthinking it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes simple really is enough. ✨💋
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’ve been obsessed with skincare and makeup since I was a teen…So a repurchase HAS to really earn its place in my beauty routine.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve tried luxury favourites, viral products and plenty of disappointments along the way, which is why I only buy a product again when it genuinely delivers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Comment LINKS and I’ll send you every product featured. 👇🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌟These are the beauty products I genuinely love, use every day and recommend to all my friends over 50.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Share and Save this if you’re 50+ and looking for makeup and skincare that works beautifully on mature skin. ❤️

At 61 | My beauty favourites
Repurchased. Loved. Recommended.

At 61, I’ve learned that great style isn’t about buying more clothes…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s about owning the right clothes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It makes getting dressed feel easy. Style becomes naturally comfortable and confident.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the years I’ve made every mistake in this carousel. 😳 I’ve bought the uncomfortable shoes, the fantasy-self outfits, and the pieces that looked great on the hanger but never worked in real life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The biggest shift came when I stopped chasing more and started focusing on what works for my lifestyle, the woman I am now and my style aesthetic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s personal style and confidently knowing who YOU are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not a trend follower.
Not a viral ‘must have’ follower.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because the most stylish women over 50 don’t necessarily own more clothes.
They simply own the right ones.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴️ Tell me one clothing purchase you really regret. 💬
I have a quite a few 😳
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Natural, fresh and radiant. 💫 The barely-there makeup is perfect for us over 50s women who don’t want a heavy makeup which can be so aging.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💫 This look gives a rested, healthy and effortlessly polished vibe. Not overdone. Not cakey or dry.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✴️ The 3 HERO PRODUCTS of this look are the foundation + bronzer + blusher.
🌟Just comment LINKS and I’ll send them through.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌟And the softest makeup looks always get me the most compliments now.
- No heavy aging foundation.
- No layers of powdery products.
- No heavy eyeliner.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💫 Instead I use less coverage. Great skin prep. Softer definition. Hydrating textures. Light layers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this for your next natural makeup day. ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One thing I’ve learned about style and confidence at 61?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stop waiting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So many women over 50 are waiting:
to lose weight,
to feel confident,
to finally wear the outfit,
to try a new makeup look.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But confidence rarely arrives first.
Action does.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The women with the most effortless style aren’t waiting for perfection.
They’re simply living their lives now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wear the cream suit.
Wear the heels.
Take up space.
Enjoy the moment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because modern style over 50 isn’t about waiting for the right moment, dressing younger or trying too hard.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s about taking action and dressing like the most confident version of yourself. 💫❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

At 61, I simply want skin that looks healthy, fresh, calm and alive. Not overdone or unnatural 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of the best things for mature skin are sleep, movement, sunscreen, good skincare, nutrition and choosing treatments strategically.✔️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s a little more about the 8 skin treatments that I’ve tried and are a YES for me.↓
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. PROFHILO ✔️
- This is NOT a filler and does NOT change your facial shape or add volume
- Improves skin quality, hydration & firmness
- My go-to before I travel as it keeps me looking fresh✈️
- Great during party season. It helps with skin fatigue from late times and too much 💃🥂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. BBL HERO - A favourite ✔️
- Non-ablative laser
- It uses intense pulsed light, not traditional laser resurfacing
- A fast treatment that is comfortable with no downtime
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. XLV LASER ✔️
- A vascular laser that helps calm redness & broken capillaries
- One of the best treatments I’ve done for clearer-looking skin
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. VBEAM LASER ✔️
- Excellent if your skin tends towards flushing easily
- I had 3-4days downtime with swelling
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. TIXEL ✔️
- Heat-based resurfacing without full laser damage
- Very little downtime compared to aggressive ablative lasers but still gives visible refinement

6. PICOWAY LASER ✔️
- This is great for melasma and wrinkles
- I found recovery much easier and faster than with harsher resurfacing lasers
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7. RED LIGHT THERAPY ✔️
- I use a high quality mask
- Great for glowing skin, inflammation and healing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
8. BOTOX ✔️
- A subtle amount keeps me looking fresher
- The key is restraint. Frozen never looks youthful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These treatments improve skin quality naturally, support collagen, help pigmentation/redness and give great results.
And yes… this is just MY experience.
Skin is personal.
