Tackling signs of ageing

It’s difficult to think about how I’ll feel about my own signs of ageing in ten years or so. At the moment I’m line-free and, frankly, intend to be that way forever. I am young, I look young, nothing to worry about. But what about when I get older? What if I haven’t inherited my mum’s wrinkle-free skin?

I’m all for buying every beauty cream I can get my hands on. (Or accepting them from PRs, which is where I get most of my beauty products.) But does beauty cream get to a point where it stops working? In fact, does it work at all?

Before you start looking up botox prices I think you should try the simplest of all anti-ageing treatments… A healthy lifestyle. I think it’s probably a little harsh to spring that on you when we are coming up to the most indulgent time of the year but being a bit healthier surely has to beat £400 creams and going under the knife. (However, if it doesn’t work there is always the choices of botox and expensive creams to fall back on.)

Firstly, you MUST drink water. Eight glasses a day please. It can improve your complexion no end. You should also moisturise, if you keep your skin hydrated it won’t lose its natural elasticity. Some anti-ageing creams (and not necessarily the expensive ones) also plump skin, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

Food plays a huge part in how you look. Healthy fats and oils are good for you as are raw vegetables and fruit. An anti-ageing superfood is the avocado!

Knowing how your skin changes as you age is a good place to start. Exercise, certain foods, a lot of water and a small list of beauty products can help you looking youthful for as long as possible.
