Anti-ageing skin tips

Ageing might be a fact of life, but looking one’s age certainly isn’t! There are many things you can do on a daily basis at home to counter the effects of skin ageing and then of course our aesthetic clinicians are here to offer a helping hand too.

Get Active – physical exercise increases energy levels and helps to release endorphins which sends messages to our brains that we are feeling good and who doesn’t want that? The anti-ageing benefits of exercise are also worth noting; softer, radiant skin and great posture can knock years off you!

Eat a healthy diet – combat ageing with a healthy balanced diet and certain other nutrient packed foods including walnuts, avocados, salmon, sunflower seeds and sweet potatoes. Green leafy vegetables, berries and teas are also full of anti-oxidants, so it is a must to include these in your diet. And of course drink plenty of water to keep your skin supple and hydrated.

Sleep – When we sleep our skin cells have time to regenerate and the skin can produce new collagen. During sleep the facial muscles get a chance to relax, which in turn means fewer wrinkles and fine lines, so make sure you allow yourself between 7 and 9 hours hours quality sleep every night to give your skin a fighting chance to ward off skin ageing!

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try to make the best choices for your skin, it just isn’t enough. With 21st century advanced technology, there are some amazing skin care products on the market which can do wonders to combat skin ageing. And of course there are now many non-surgical choices when it comes to effective and affordable anti-ageing treatments.
