The Latest Trends in Anti-Ageing

The general trend in anti-ageing treatments is to focus more on what you are putting into your body than what you put on top of it.

What you eat does matter

Whether it is consuming more anti-inflammatory fish, flaxseed and evening primrose oils or Vitamin C, or deciding to finally decrease the amount of white sugar which evidently binds to more rapidly reduce the amount of collagen in your skin, science is increasingly telling us that what we eat can positively or negatively impact our appearance.

Anti-inflammatory fish, flaxseed and evening primrose oils and Vitamin C are now proven to improve skin tone and appearance.

Beauty crèmes

The star ingredients du jour include those that protect or enhance the skin's natural collagen like the polyphenols found in argan oil, and a peptide, or protein fragment, called matrixyl that stimulates the skin's natural collagen production.

Use sunscreen all year round

Talk to any skin specialist and they will tell you that applying sunscreen all year around is probably the single most important thing you can do in terms of anti-ageing skincare.

Great teeth knock years off your age

Whitening your teeth can drop as much as 10 years off the appearance of your age. Cosmetic dentists often recommend snacking on fruit and vegetables to help break down stains and keep your smile whiter and brighter for longer. If you are at all interested in anti-ageing, regular dental visits are a must.

Look after your hair

Pay attention to the volume and colour of your hair as thinning and grey hair can add years to your age. There are now specifically developed products to keep your hair looking great no matter what your age.

Exercise

A lithe and lively body is attractive atany age. Exercising not only is good for your health and mind, but is fabulously anti-ageing for your general appearance as well.
