Natural vs Chemical Skincare: Why I Choose Australian skincare brands for my Pro-Ageing Approach.

The Truth About Natural vs Chemical Skincare. Australian Skincare Brands

For more than 30 years, I’ve worked with real skin - skin that’s hormonal, sensitive, reactive, dry, or simply tired. Over time, one truth has stood out: the skin thrives when it’s treated with nature, not stripped by chemicals.

At Lyndall Platt Beauty in Tarragindi, my focus has always been on natural skincare that respects your skin barrier and works in harmony with your body. While chemical-based products can give fast, surface results, they often come at the cost of long-term balance.

The skin isn’t a problem to fix, it’s a living organ that reflects your health, stress, and habits. My job is to help it perform at its best, not to fight it.

Why I Choose Natural Over Chemical

Many conventional skincare products rely on harsh surfactants, synthetic fragrances, and preservatives that can disrupt the skin’s microbiome. Over time, these ingredients can lead to dehydration, inflammation, and sensitivity.

Natural formulations, when done right, are powerful, stable, and intelligent. They deliver vitamins, lipids, and antioxidants in forms the skin recognises without the irritation. That’s why my own line, Peachface Skincare, was born.

Peachface Skincare: A Local Love Story

• Australian-made & cruelty-free

• Earth-conscious packaging

• Botanical extracts, nourishing oils, gentle actives

• Designed for sensitive, mature, and menopausal skin

Peachface was created to give my clients something I couldn’t find on the market: effective, natural skincare that feels luxurious without compromising health or the environment.

The Pro-Ageing Philosophy

I’ve never liked the term anti-ageing. There’s nothing “anti” about living and maturing. My philosophy is pro-ageing, celebrating the beauty of change while supporting your skin through it.

Pro-ageing means focusing on:

• Hydration to prevent trans-epidermal water loss

• Barrier repair to maintain balance and comfort

• Collagen support through nourishment, not aggression

• Consistency instead of quick fixes

The result? Skin that’s calm, bright, and resilient, not tight, inflamed, or dependent on constant correction.

Supporting Women Through Menopause

As I’ve evolved in my career, so have my clients and many are now navigating perimenopause or menopause. These years bring major hormonal changes that affect skin, mood, and energy.

That’s why I’m currently studying to become a Nutritionist, specialising in menopause wellness. By understanding how nutrition, hormones, and lifestyle affect the skin, I can help women restore their glow from the inside out.

When oestrogen levels drop, so does collagen and hydration but with the right care, we can absolutely rebuild strength, comfort, and luminosity.

My Holistic Approach Includes:

• Skin-barrier-supportive facials and homecare routines

• Nutritional strategies to stabilise energy, mood, and hydration

• Guidance on essential fatty acids, phytoestrogens, and minerals like zinc and magnesium

• Mindful self-care that reduces stress and inflammation

True radiance isn’t just topical, it’s a whole-body expression of balance.

Gentle Doesn’t Mean Ineffective

One of the biggest myths in skincare is that gentle products don’t work. In reality, gentle is powerful because inflammation is one of the main causes of premature ageing.

I’ve seen skin transform simply by switching to calming, barrier-protective routines. Clients who once battled redness and dryness now enjoy hydrated, comfortable, glowing skin all without aggressive acids or chemical peels.

When you nurture instead of strip, you create long-term health.

Skin Health That’s Personal

At Lyndall Platt Beauty, every client receives a tailored plan that honours their skin’s needs. Whether it’s hydration stacking, LED therapy, or a nutrition consultation, everything I offer comes back to the same belief: you deserve care that’s as natural as you are.

I’m here to guide you through your unique journey whether that’s restoring balance, navigating menopause, or simply rediscovering your confidence in your skin.
