Cleanse
in the Morning and Evening-It is important to wash your skin in the morning, as
you have oil on your face from sleeping, and in the evening, you have to wash
off sunscreen, makeup, dirt, and pollens. Use a gentle cleanser that suits your
skin type (dry, oily or combination). Remember there is no advantage in trying
to strip your skin of oils by using an over abrasive cleanser as it in fact have
the opposite effect.
·
Exfoliate
-Remember nobody needs to exfoliate every day, so avoid daily scrubs. You only
need to exfoliate two to three times a week, with a fine scrub. If you have
very fine skin, you may like to apply the scrub while you still have your cream
cleanser on your skin. Avoid the scrubs with large beads that have irregular
shapes that can irritate your skin.

Use
Vitamin A -Retinoid, which are made from vitamin A, are the one of your best
ingredients against anti-ageing. Retinoid come in two forms: Retinol: You can
buy products containing retinol without a prescription. Both encourage your
skin to make more collagen, which gives your skin structure and elasticity.
They also exfoliate your skin, removing dead, surface skin cells to soften
lines. You need to allow your skin an adjustment time to get used to the
product, so less is more – use as if it were made of gold. A tiny amount goes a
long way. Use once or twice a week to begin and build it up. These are irritating
to the skin and can cause excessive dryness and rash if you are too heavy
handed. Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen daily, as these make your skin more photo-
sensitive to the sun.
Use at night and be patient as it
can take months to see an improvement.
·
Use
serums such as Skinceutical Vitamin C, which is a medical grade antioxidant
combination that delivers advanced environmental protection against photo-aging
by neutralising free radicals that cause accelerated signs of ageing along with
refining the skin and stimulating collagen
·
Moisturise
your skin- Moisturise when you get out of the shower in the morning, and after
you wash your face at night, use a moisturiser to lock the moisture in your skin.
This helps your skin look soft and smooth, which can help minimise the
appearance of wrinkles.
·
Sunscreen
is one of the most important ingredients against skin ageing- It needs to be at
least 30 SPF, and look for a broad spectrum as it important to be properly
protected against UVA as well as UVB, as UVA rays because collagen damage, skin
lines and skin cancer, you need to wear it every day, even in winter.
·
Say
No to Sun beds.-Just one session on a sunbed raises your chances of melanoma,
the most dangerous type of skin cancer it also accelerates the ageing process. Instead,
use fake tans or bronzer; look for organic brands to give you a risk free glow
all year round if you wish.
·
Choose
a healthy diet for a healthy glow to your skin. You have heard it said you are
what you eat, so choose wisely as your diet has a really powerful impact on
your skin, and health. Choose foods like olive oil, fish like salmon, walnuts,
and almonds. These are high in omega-3 healthy fats, which can help minimise
damage and keep your skin healthy as you age. Your skin is constantly renewing
itself so the healthier your diet is, the more nutrients your skin has for this
process, and the better your skin looks and feels over time. Also, stay
hydrated. Drink water when you're thirsty. You also get some water from
vegetables and fruit, so include those at every meal.
·
Say
no to smoking! You will have much better-looking skin if you kick the habit.
People who smoke get wrinkles sooner than those who don't smoke plus smoking
causes decolouration. The physical act of smoking also works against you. Any repetitive
facial movements like pulling on a cigarette, which makes your mouth pucker,
cause wrinkles.
