The problem is that lots of people don’t understand that good relationships don’t just happen out of thin air and they need to be worked at and it takes a great deal of effort for partners to be blissfully happy and content for ten years or more.

Don’t blame each other.

One of the main problems when relationships go south is that the people in a relationship tend to blame the other person, or even worse, blame themselves.

Quit this gibberish right now and the sad fact is, it takes two  to play up, and if there is a problem with your relationship, it’s because of both of you.

Create time for each other.

Aside from blaming anyone, you need to make time to rekindle things.

Understandably, both of you have tight schedules, but unless you can make time to see each other, only the two of you, your problems are unlikely to get better.

Set some time aside, maybe twice a week, when you and your partner can enjoy some special time together with no distractions.

Make more effort.

One of the sad facts of life is that couples, after spending a few years together, rarely make an effort when it comes to caring about how they look.

This can have a negative effect on any relationship.

If the girl doesn’t bother with her make up any more, her partner is going to notice – and the same goes if the man doesn’t bother changing from his work clothes in the evening, or supposing he doesn’t shave.

It seems like you don’t care – not very inspiring for a healthy relationship so make an effort to smarten yourself up – you’ll be stunned how much of a difference it can make!

Hang out together.

Socializing as a couple, with other people, is a brilliant way to better your relationship.

Make sure you have a regular occassion with some old friends, either round yours, at their place, or somewhere else.

Being with old friends, you’ll have a fun time and it will help you to feel youthful again!

Work on your love life.

One of the major causes of relationship problems is due to the “sex factor”.

It’s an interesting fact that many married and/or long term couples don’t have great sex lives.

This can be a major cause of relationship trouble, or it can happen as a result of these issues.

Think about how to add some energy to your loves lives, such as going out for a romantic meal to get you in the mood, or do something crazy to spice things up.

If it comes to it, maybe consider seeing a sex counselor because, let’s face it,sex is a vital part of any relationship, and if you don’t care about this then your problems won’t go away.

These nutrient rich beauty foods make a good case for starting a beauty regime from within, one that is designed to prevent or reduce the effects of aging, like sagging skin.

Some products on the market include a supplement containing lacto-lycopene, vitamin C, and soy isoflavones.

This is aimed at restoring firmness to the skin for women over 40, and was developed by Nestle and L’Oreal.

Others have been developed using lycopene and grape seed extract, both antioxidants. Grape seed extract also stops enzymatic reactions that lead to collagen in the skin being broken down.

Antioxidants protect the capillaries in skin and thus ensure that enough nutrients get to the living cells that eventually push their way to the surface and become the skin you see in the mirror.

They also protect from broken veins and early wrinkling whilst the capillaries also deliver oxygen to the cells, and remove the waste products of cellular metabolism.

This prevents puffy, sagging, and dull skin but you don’t always need to reach for a bottle of supplements.

Simply by eating more antioxidant rich food on a daily basis should see some improvement in skin tone.

Fruits rich in antioxidants include blueberries, prunes, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, apples, cherries and plums. and of the vegetables, eat more artichokes, broccoli, red cabbage, pontiac potatoes, brown onions, asparagus, non-green capsicum, beetroot, spinach and sweet potatoes.

Women are more prone to the damage caused by antioxidants than men, according to research from the University of Berkeley, and hence possibly their aging effects.

Another strong antioxidant is beta carotene which is found in green leafy vegetables, fruit and carrots.

This antioxidant has been found to counteract the effects of a particular type of oxygen free radical, singlet oxygen, which occurs after the skin is exposed to UV radiation in sunlight.

UV exposure can lead to premature aging by the effects of singlet oxygen and a study found that whilst the provitamin A aspect of the carotenoid did not combat the singlet oxygen, the beta carotene did.

It prevented the action of two enzymes, associated with UV light and the destruction of the skin cell’s extracellular matrix, which happens in premature aging of the skin.

Sunlight also destroys beta carotene in cells after sun exposure, so this beta carotene has to be replaced.

Beta carotene has been reported as having a mild sunscreen effect too, though it needs to be taken as a supplement to get this effect.

The skin care supplement beauty market is still not a strongly developed one however, as these types of supplements tend to be more expensive than other supplements. And there needs to be more research and clinical trials to prove which products do what they are designed to.

No matter where you turn, from TV to newspapers, you’ll see stories about how the health of the world population is actually deteriorating.

Even though there are many different companies out there that offer vitamins and supplements and claim that they will make you more healthy, you’ll need to research what they offer and sure that you aren’t just wasting your money.

If you are looking to improve your health, you’ll need to look at many different vitamin supplements to find which ones are the best for you.

You should look at everything available, and not just try a few to see what happens but, before turning to vitamin supplements, diet and changing what you are eating is the best place to start as it can make the most improvements on your health.

Your diet and what you eat can change your body, and make you feel a lot better as well.

These days, a lot of people eat way too many sweets and too much sugar, choosing refined products over healthy food.

Even though it isn’t a bad thing to enjoy sweets and chocolate in moderation, you should never make a habit out of it.

You can still enjoy your favorite foods as well, although you should be looking at the healthy benefits of food as well and think of everything as a whole.

If you include healthy foods such as salads, vegetables, and fruit into your diet, you’ll be eating healthy.

Protein is also beneficial to your health, as it promotes the growth of your muscle.

Those of you, who are serious about eating healthy but are unsure where to start, should contact a nutritionist who should be able to tell you where to start, and how to achieve a healthy diet that will change your life.

Even though you may be eating healthy or trying to eat healthy, you’ll probably find yourself wondering about vitamins and supplements and how much of an impact they have on your diet.

Dieticians are ideal to consult with these types of questions, as they can answer any questions relating to vitamins that you have and they can also tell you which supplements are ideal to your health, and which ones you should include in your diet.

Different people will have different needs and requirements, making it essential to get advice from a qualified professional.

If you get the advice from a professional, you’ll know what you can add to your diet, but if you try to do it all yourself without the advice of a professional, you can end up not getting enough in your diet, or you could end up taking something that you shouldn’t be taking.

Exercise is also important to your diet and your health.

Although supplements and vitamins will go a long way, exercise will do a lot for your body and if you exercise on a regular basis and take the right supplements and vitamins with your diet, you’ll notice that you have more energy and you feel better than you ever have in your life.

Before you start with your new diet or rush out and buy your new vitamin supplements, you should always check with your doctor first to see if he has any recommendations.

You should also tell him what type of exercise you are planning on doing, and see if there are any complications with your health.

Getting a healthy lifestyle is always a great thing, although you should always consult with your doctor.

The oldest known Facial massage in human history dates back to the third century B.C. where it was written about in an ancient Chinese medical text.

Scientists have discovered many subsequent ancient medical records in archeological digs conducted in Greece, Persia, Japan and India.

All these early-day writings have one thing in common, their Facial massages were described in vivid details but always as part and parcel of total body massage therapies.

Specific pressure points on areas of the face and neck were depressed sufficiently to loosen obstructions in the flow of the vital energy which is also known as gi.

The standalone Facial massage of the recent Western world was popularized in the twentieth century Europe before it was imported into the North American world of cosmetic and beauty treatments.

As a result, Facial massage came to be regarded as the job for estheticians, cosmetologists and makeup artists rather than massage therapists.

In the cosmetic and beauty arena, the Facial massage is administered with the intent to slow down the natural aging process and to attain younger, healthier and more vibrant looking and feeling facial skin, however, Facial massage also has therapeutic benefits as it can relieve and mitigate stress, migraine headaches, premenstrual syndromes (PMS) as well as sinus congestion.

In spite of their growing demand as entire massage sessions of their own, Facial massages are not precluded from total body massage treatments and needless to say, Facial massage treatments which are performed for the entire session are much more comprehensive and include many elements which are not included in  full body treatments.

In both instances, though, gentle yet stimulating upward strokes are used in circular or semi-circular gliding movements.

Facial massages may also include the removal of facial hair as well as the removal of blackheads and whiteheads which will necessitate a moist steam treatment and these three elements will be included right after the massage session and before the application of the moisturizer.

In addition, the entire process may culminate in the application of full or partial makeup and sometimes even a hairdo.

Facial massages are part of full body treatments in Eastern therapies where pressure is applied to points on the face which correspond to various internal organs such as the stomach, the liver and the gall bladder.

With such different techniques, it is not surprising therefore, that the benefits of the Eastern Facial massages are very different from those of the West.

Facial massages are most often performed with bare hands that are lightly lubricated by oils or lotions to help them glide more smoothly over delicate facial skin, however, there are some mechanical devices that may also be used instead of the hands or in addition to them.

Best of all, in my opinion, Facial massages can very easily and effectively be self administered just about any time and anywhere, and there are countless resources on the Internet that will instruct interested persons how to master Facial massage.

My speciality is Make up and skin care, NOT fitness & nutrition, however, I have spent years working myself from a size 18 down to a size 10 simply down to
fitness & nutrition.

So the idea here is to give you a bit of a lowdown from a normal human beings perspective who likes the odd glass of wine or 5 and
could quite happily trough my way through a whole packet of jaffa cakes without it touching the sides!

I’m going to tell you how I manage to live a fulfilled and fun lifestyle whilst keeping my fitness & nutrition in top form.

Fitness & Exercise

First thing I will say, the gym is NOT a necessity by any means, and I appreciate a lot of people find it a complete bore quite frankly.

I find nothing more satisfying than a good gym workout and by using all the different machines you can really concentrate on the areas you want to target, however, for beginners, a brisk 40 minute power walk 3 times a week can have just as much impact on the body.

If you do decide to join your local gym make sure you have a member of staff help to create the right programme for you.

Road running

Everyone has a different fitness level so get a plan specifically for you.

All decent gyms should offer an appointment to make a programme for you within your joining pack, so don’t be afraid to go for it if you want.

I remember the first time I set foot in a gym, it really was terrifying, but within a few minutes the staff made me feel totally at ease and I realised that no matter how much I think someone appears in better shape then me, we are all in there to do the same thing, improve our fitness and build confidence in our bodies.

Perhaps, after a few weeks, invest in a few personal trainer sessions.

They are qualified to help with fitness and nutrition and are amazing for motivation and spurring you on to run for that extra 30 seconds.

If you dont want to pay for a trainer, here are a few tips from me:-

• Stick to about 40 minutes of cardiovascular exercise on either the bike, cross trainer or treadmill, then about 15 minutes of core work and light weights, low weights with high repetitions to start. This will still help to burn fats, and contrary to what you may think, women will not build too much muscle and look like a russian shot putter from lifting a few 7kg weights a few times a week. These massive muscle women spend their whole life building muscle, not through an hour workout 3 or 4 times a week.
• If you get the bus to work get off a stop earlier to give you a little extra walk. I park my car a 15 minute walk away from work, it means that 5 times a week i do 30 minutes walking a day, and that’s before I’ve been to the gym or been out for a run.
• Road running is great for toning as the uneven surfaces really work every muscle in the body, but it is more difficult then running on the treatmill so perservere with road running.

Nutrition

Fitness & nutrition go hand in hand, pointless doing all that hard work then going home to eat the wrong food.

I find that the easiest thing to do it make sure I eat the right food at the right times.

Do not skip breakfast, its the best start to the day. A bowl of bran flakes or piece of toast would be enough and keep away from the fry up. My favourite breakfast ever is branflakes topped with a chopped banana for added sweetness.

I tend to eat the majority of my carbohydrates in the morning or before a long run to give me the energy, but they are equally as important post exercise to help the body recover.

Leave the faddy diets to someone else.

Healthy eating

• Atkins gives you smelly breath and constipation.
• The zone diet is far too confusing.
• The g.i diet I have no idea on.
• The starvation diet just isn’t sensisble.

Its all about everything in moderation, if you stop eating anything with even a little fat in it your body will just go into shock the minute it touches your lips again.

Nuts are great for this, they have essential fatty acids and are great for the skin, but if you fancy that little bag of crisps or bar of choccy then go for it, everything in moderation and if you dont you will crave, binge then feel awful after.

Plenty of fresh fruit, veg, and meat with the right carbs at the right time and your sorted.

A little tip I have learned here, don’t bother with finding someone to buddy up with because you both want to ditch those last few lbs before your flight
departs from pastures sunnier.

There’s a pretty high risk one of you will give up before the other, so do it for YOURSELF! Decide to make the change with your
fitness & nutrition purely on your own terms, so get on those trainers, a few good tunes on the ipod and get your fitness & nutrition in tip top condition.

A very quick post today after an article appeared in the British national press about FULLfast weight loss spray.

This is a relative newcomer into the weight loss market, but early indications are that it is doing exactly what it says on the tin.

FULLfast

FULLfast spray

The claims from the manufacturer are:-

• 100% Natural ingredients
• Scientifically proven formula to suppress appetite & prevent hunger cravings
• UK’s first & only spray appetite suppressant
• Reviewed & supported in the International Journal of Obesity
• First results seen after 5 days of use
• Key ingredient in FULLfast is an amino acid called 5-Hydroxytryptophan
• PLUS MORE

FULLfast regime

The recommendation is that you only use this for 2 months at a time, and if you look at the cost of the monthly supply, it is a very cost effective way of losing weight.

We all know that losing weight is difficult and any assistance we can get is worth a try and if a simple spray under the tongue 30 minutes before food can make it easier, then it has to be worth investigating.

FULLfast guarantee

As stated above, first results can be seen after just 5 days of use, and the guarantee that is offered by the company is a 14 day money back policy, so if you do try it and it is not for you, just send it back within 14 days and you will get your money back, and as this is a natural product there are no chemicals to do you any harm.

You can visit the FULLfast site here.

Please bear in mind, FULLfast is only available in the Uk.

As a fully trained make up advisor, the most frequently asked question I get is “how should i do my eye make up?”  The answer is pretty simple….however you
want really!

eye make up 2

Obviously there are certain rules to eye make up choices, however to a certain extent anything goes as long as your comfortable doing it.
Yes Lilac shades bring out green eyes, smokey effect look particularly striking with blue eyes, and Hazel or brown eyes look ace with forest greens and khaki eye make up, but you can change all these combinations and still have great eye make up!

Daily eye make up

Keep it simple for every day eye make up, stick to 2 different shades of shadow, 1 light and 1 darker.

Take the lighter shade and cover the whole eye lid with it. Then take the darker shade along the lash line for the outer half of the eye and into the socket. take a clean blending brush and blend.
To complete this everyday eye make up look use a soft khol pencil in a more natural shade (preferable not black) and line the lash line in soft sweeping motions, take it a little along the bottom of the eye just a fraction under the lash line if you want, but not too harsh a line to keep the eye make up looking natural.

Use a curling mascara for this look to keep the eye make up looking fresh and natural. Match this with any lipstick you feel comfortable with.

Smokey eye make up

This eye make up look can be acheived so easily, but its the one most women are afraid of.

The idea is similar to that of a daily eye make up look, the concept is the same, keep it nice and light in the inner eye and near the tear duct, and keep the darkness on the outer half of the eye. This opens and and brightens even small eyes and stops the “punched in the face” look. 3 shades are sufficient for this look, a light, mid/dark and an intense shade.
Take the light shade all over the eye, even up to the brow.

Take your darkest shade and create that v shape along the lash line and into the socket (it doesn’t matter if its not looking great right now) but keeping that tear duct area nice and bright still.

I find cotton buds great for smokey eye make up application as the tighness of the bud really allows to get the intensity of the shadow onto the eyelid.

Take that mid shade and fill in the inside of that v you have just created and you want to achieve a perfectly blended eye make up that goes from one extreme to the other gradually over the whole eye lid.

eye make up 1

Load on the eye liner, Khol or liquid and plenty of Volumising mascara to top it off. When you line your bottom lashes try taking some of the darkest shaddow over the top of the liner to give an even more dramatic eye make up look.

Match this with a soft and neutral toned lipstick or gloss, nothing too daring as you want to keep the focus purely on your eye make up.

Classic eye make up

My personal favourite here! The classic eye make up look is so simple! take a bit of concealer to even out the tone on the eye lid but not to colour. Then take a liquid liner,sweep it along the lash line in one smooth stroke and thats about it! A little flick on the outer edge gives a great look, but keep the flick pointing upwards, any eye make up that goes in a downwards direction will add 10 years onto any eye area so keep it pointing up!

Chose a lenghthening and separating mascara to finish this look and give that doll eyed effect. “Doll Eyes“, Lancomes newest addition to the Hypnose mascara family, is perfect for this look.

Finish this Classic eye make up look by Chosing a bold, deep and daring statement lip colour. The perfect red carpet glamour look, and the easiest
one of all!

Eye make up tips

Layer loose powder under the eye when going for smokey eye make up, this makes it easy to sweep away any dark eyeshadow that drops and stops it sticking to the
cheeks.

Eye make up brushes are a MUST. you need a large flat brush to apply the base colour, a small flat brush to place dark shadows onto the eyes, and a fluffy
brush to blend it all together nicely.

Cotton buds are a great and hygienic way to apply eye make up, just roll the bud between your fingers to loosen the cotton for blending. Also great for
correcting any little mistakes without taking all the eye make up off and starting from scratch.

Practice practice practice!

Dont wait untill the last minute, because practice makes perfect.

Experiment with eye make up. There are so many textures and colours on the market give different things a go. Cream eyeshadow may work great for some ladies,
and not so great on others so experiment.

Dont be scared to try new things, do try and make your eye make up harmonise with your outfit choice, but no need to match exactly.

Self tan can be a tricky one to get right. With so many brands, textures and application techniques its a bit of a nightmare for the tanning novice.

Worry no longer as I’m here to give you a step by step guide to self tan application and finding the right self tan for you!

WHAT SELF TAN TO GO FOR?

Choosing the right self tan brand for you really is quite simple. Every brand has a self tan product for everyone so no need to end up with a severe case of TANOREXIA.

My personal Self tan brand is St Tropez and the 3 main self tan products in the ST Tropez range are in the form of a spray, a lotion or a mousse.

st tropez self tan

For someone with a fair complexion I would recommend to go for a mousse self tan.

The mousse distributes evenly onto the skin, normally has a colour so you can see exactly when you’ve missed a patch, and gives a natural sunkissed glow to even the fairest of women (and of course men!).

Self tan lotion tends to give a much deeper and more intense colour, great for a warmer or olive complexion.

Lotions can be messier to apply and although they too give an instant colour, they also are a little harder to get completely even.

So with a lotion either apply about 2 hours before bed, or be prepared to stay behind closed doors for a good 6-8 hours whilst developing.

Finally a spray self tan, great for instant colour and even distribution, but be warned they can be VERY messy.

Make sure you spray self tan in a bathroom, with a towel covering any surface that will stain.

For a less intense self tan effect you could go for a gradual tanning product. They are body moisturisers with a small amount of self tan to hydrate and give a very slight tan.

Again a great product for a fair complexion to give a slight glow.

SELF TAN APPLICATION

Here is the most important bit, the application! First of all make sure you have got a self tan application mitt, or alternatively latex gloves will do!

The telltale signs of a true tannorexic are dirty looking hands and palms, not so attractive.

Step 1- Exfoliation.

Exfoliate the whole body to remove all dull, dead skin sitting on the surface of the face and body. There are many exfoliators to chose from, I like st Ives apricot scrub as I can use the same product on my face and body. After exfoliating the body allow yourself an hour or so for your skin to cool and calm down before moving on to the next step.

Step 2-Moisturise.

You do not need to moisturise your whole body before tanning, but it is important to moisturiser areas that can be slightly drier therefore the self tan will cling a little more. These areas will be the knees, elbows, hands (fingers and knuckles) and ankles. If you are drier skinned and feel the need to moisturise before self tan make sure you go for an oil free moisturiser.

Fake bake do a great, lightweight, oil free moisturiser specifically designed for pre self tan.

The formula will absorbed fully without leaving an oily residue on the body that will stop the self tan from sitting and developing evenly.

Step 3-Self tan application

Don’t forget your mitt or latex gloves for this one. I like to start from the bottom up with self tan and cover my body section by section. So first pump enough

self tan to cover you shin and calf area on the first leg, rub into the leg evenly, don’t forget your feet but no need to put as much onto the feet area, do

the same on the next leg. Then section 2 the thigh area, again cover evenly and don’t be afraid to be generous with the self tan, a lot of streaky-ness is

due to women being scared they are applying too much tan. Move on to the back of the thigh, full length mirrors are a great help with this, you don’t want to

miss any areas. Then onto the tummy, back, chest then an arm at a time. With the back you may need someone to help, but it is completely possible to do on

your own with either a self tan back applicator or a few different arm positions. Then last but by no means least the face. I have used a body self tan for

my face, but id recommend to invest in a separate self tan specifically designed for the face as the skin is different to that all over the body. self tan

also fades quicker on the face so be warned. Use a cotton bud to remove self tan out of the eyebrows. make sure you take the tan ever so slightly into

the hairline so you don’t get tan lines.

leave the self tan for 6-8 hours and bingo, your glowing as if you’ve had 2 weeks in the gorgeous sunshine. Shower off the self tan product, try to avoid a long

shower or a soak in the bath, you want to keep the first wash of tan short and sweet. when you have dried off apply moisturiser morning and evening to prolong

your tan and keep it even for longer. Once your tan is really fading you will need to exfoliate to remove the self tan, then you can start again!

Happy tanning!

The use of skin care serum is greatly overlooked in most women’s skin care regimes. It is seen to be an unnecessary expense above the usual cleanse, tone and moisturise routine. However it is a highly effective way to maintain, prolong or bring back the youthful glow we all want to have forever.

My Personal favourites are the range of Lancome skin care serum, including their new entry into the range, VISIONNAIRE!

LANCOME SKIN CARE SERUM REGIME

For the most effective results I recommend that you use a separate daytime and night time regime, both incorporating separate Lancome skin care serums.

Your morning Lancome skin care serum must focus on brightness and radiance for the day ahead, and your night time Lancome skin care serum to repair whilst you sleep.

DAYTIME SKIN CARE SERUM REGIME

Your daytime skin care regime will consist of cleanse, tone, serum, eye cream and moisturiser. I tend to use a foaming wash off gel cleanser in the morning and a toner designed for a combination skin to restore the PH balance of the skin and help tighten the pores to minimise oil production throughout the day.

Genifique

Now for the important bit.

Your Lancome skin care serum for the morning is called GENIFIQUE!

I cannot stress enough how good this skin care serum is.

Genifique is a youth activating Lancome skin care serum that will boost the production of youth proteins within the genes.

Other brands do similar but I’ve found the Lancome skin care serum to be the most effective and the results showed within 5 days. My skin looked more luminous, brighter, smoother and glowing.

You would then follow your Lancome skin care serum with the appropriate eye cream and day moisturiser to treat your individual concern, whether it be hydration, lack of radiance, first signs of ageing or deep set lines and wrinkles.

NIGHTTIME SKIN CARE SERUM REGIME

Your nightly Skin care regime is similar to your daytime skin care regime but with products specifically designed for night time use, so use a separate eye make up remover if you need to, cleanse and tone as you did in the morning.

Visionnaire

Your night time Lancome skin care serum is called VISIONNAIRE!

This product has only been on the market since 1st September and I have been using it for 2 weeks having tracked down some samples of it and I already could not live without it.

Visionnaire is a Lancome skin care serum designed to correct various damage to the skin.

Night time is when the skin repairs and regenerates itself, so a great time to aid that repair with this lancome skin care serum which has  a new repair molecule in it that is supposed to be the most powerful on the market!

Already after 2 weeks usage i can definitely see my pores are starting to shrink down and the overall texture of my skin is improving, and this Lancome skin care serum is said to diminish pigmentation and correct dark spots, as well as reducing lines and wrinkles and I look forward to carrying on with it and seeing more positive results.

Follow your Lancome skin care serum with your appropriate eye cream (the same as your daytime skincare regime) and night moisturiser to treat your individual concern.

Your night cream does differ to your day cream in that it is more active to aid repair over night.

Your skin is at its most active between 12am and 4am so it needs a little extra help to repair the damage that  will happen daily due to environmental aggressors.

I’ve been using the range of Lancome skin care serum for over 3 years now and absolutely love them, however, there are many brands available out there should Lancome skin care serums not be right for you.

I will be back in a few days with some tips on how to use fake tans, the do’s and don’ts and my personal favourites, so make sure you either bookmark this page or subscribe via rss feed, but that’s it for skin care serum for now.

The skin is the body`s largest organ and needs to be well looked after if it is to stay looking good. Whatever our age, we are never to young or too old to suffer from skin complaints, but there are things we can all do to improve our complexion and have beautiful skin.

One of the easiest ways to get that well hydrated and well nourished skin is to feed it from within. Water intake is vital for promoting suppleness and skin regeneration by flushing out toxins and increasing cell renewal. The result is firmer and healthier looking skin. In the same sense, a balanced diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, is essential for ensuring all the right nutrients are delivered to the skin.

Keeping beautiful skin against the elements.

Throughout our lives, our skin is subject to harsh elements such as the sun and therefore prone to damage. Other factors which contribute to prematurely ageing skin include cigarettes, excessive alcohol and sunbeds. These activities can speed up the signs of ageing,leading to wrinkles and lines. To combat this, many anti wrinkle treatments are now available on the market in a range of lotions, serums and cream to tackle these problems. The powerful ingredients can rejuvenate skin, smooth out lines and revive it to a more youthful glow.

On a daily basis, you should look for products containing a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 to help protect skin from the drying and damaging effects of the sun. Combine this with regular exfoliation, dry body brushing and a good routine of cleansing, toning and moisturising which will all help towards making your skin look and feel great. Use products designed for your skin type and always remember to remove make up at the end of the day also to avoid clogging your pores.

Beautiful skin and non surgical procedures

No matter our age, skin always needs looking after. Many of us suffer spots and pimples during our teenage years and as we age wrinkles start to appear. Cosmetic surgery UK is the safe, effective and long lasting way to beautiful looking skin. Non surgical approaches, which avoid the need to go under the knife include botox, chemical peels and laser treatments. The effects range from smoothed out wrinkles, to improved skin tone and can even reduce the appearance of marks or scars. For more extreme results, a facelift will systematically smooth out wrinkles, plump and rejuvenate skin and is especially good for sorting out sagging skin.
