How to Build a Skin Care Routine that Works from Within

When it comes to skin care, most of us start with what we can see: cleansers, serums, moisturisers. But at Viva Well, we believe radiant skin begins deeper than the surface. A truly effective skin care routine doesn’t just treat the skin externally; it nurtures it from within.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to build a skincare routine that addresses both topical needs and internal support, from high-performance skin care products to medical-grade treatments that stimulate real transformation.

Start With the Basics: Daily Topical Care

Before diving into advanced treatments, it’s essential to have a consistent at-home routine that supports your skin’s barrier and targets your individual concerns.

A good daily skin care regimen should include:

Gentle cleanser – to remove dirt and impurities without stripping the skin
Antioxidant serum (like vitamin C) – to protect against environmental damage
Moisturiser – to hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier
SPF – to defend against UV damage, which is one of the biggest contributors to premature ageing

These steps are your foundation. They prepare the skin to better respond to in-clinic treatments and enhance your overall results.

Support from Within

Your skin is a mirror of your internal health. Even the most expensive creams can’t compensate for poor nutrition, dehydration, or chronic stress.

Some key internal habits that support glowing skin:

Stay hydrated: Skin cells thrive on water. Aim for at least 1.5–2 litres daily.
Eat for skin health: Focus on a diet rich in omega-3s (from oily fish or flaxseed), antioxidants (berries, leafy greens), and collagen-boosting nutrients (vitamin C, zinc).
Prioritise sleep and stress management: Chronic stress and lack of rest increase inflammation and can accelerate skin ageing.

For more tailored support, consider personalised IV Drips and nutraceuticals, something we offer as part of our integrative approach at Viva Well.

Advanced Skin Treatments: Going Beyond the Surface

When you want to take your results to the next level, in-clinic treatments can make a visible and lasting impact, by stimulating your skin’s own natural regeneration processes.

Here are some of the most effective skin treatments that work from within:

Microneedling

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production. This process helps improve texture, minimise pores, reduce scarring, and support a youthful glow.

Skinboosters

Unlike traditional fillers, skinboosters are injectable treatments designed to deeply hydrate and improve skin quality. Using hyaluronic acid delivered directly into the dermis, they boost moisture retention, smoothness, and elasticity.
This is especially effective for dull, dehydrated, or ageing skin on the face, neck, and even hands.

Chemical Peels and Medical Facials

Professional-grade peels exfoliate and renew the skin at a deeper level than home exfoliants, helping with pigmentation, acne, and dullness.

Medical facials can be customised to your skin’s needs, combining lymphatic drainage, oxygen infusion, and more, all enhancing circulation and cell turnover.

Personalisation is Key

There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all skincare routine. Your skin is as unique as your fingerprint, influenced by genetics, hormones, lifestyle, and environmental factors.

That’s why at Viva Well, we begin with a detailed consultation and skin assessment before recommending any treatment. We consider not only your skin type and concerns, but also your goals, habits, and overall wellbeing.

Whether you’re looking to treat acne, slow down signs of ageing, or simply restore a natural, healthy glow, we tailor every step to you.

Consistency + Expert Guidance = Long-Term Results

True transformation takes time. Building a skin routine that works from within isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about creating a strategy that evolves with you.

Regular maintenance, seasonal adjustments, and professional support all contribute to sustainable, radiant skin health.

At Viva Well, we approach skincare not just as a beauty goal, but as a reflection of your overall vitality. We combine science, technology, and human connection to help you feel confident in your skin at every stage of life.

If you’re ready to take your routine deeper and build a plan that goes beyond the surface, we’d love to guide you.
