Do you have what it takes to grow old gracefully?
So how do we go about defying gravity? The first port of call has to be how you actually treat your skin before you start thinking of investing in all these new-fangled treatments – Botox is NOT a miracle worker – beautiful skin starts with you.
If anybody spotted Gemma Arterton at the recent premiere of her new flick Tamara Drewe, then you know what the goal is (as difficult as it may seem), and according to the experts it starts with a good old scrub.
Well, a little more than that, but the premise that you should always bear in mind, according to Dr Vivian Valenty, who recently spoke to ABC 15, is "cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise, nourish and protect", so when navigating the beauty aisles, you know what the score is.
Try out Alva Sanddorn (Anti-Ageing) Sanddorn Cleansing Milk and A'kin Skin Care Jojo & Corn Gentle Exfoliating Facial Scrub and watch in delight as your skin becomes reminiscent of that in your teen years.
We all know that French women are renowned for their beauty, which is single-handedly put down to their skincare routine, as one of their mottos with regards to makeup is less is more; so take a leaf out of their book and make the time to look after yourself and it will show.
These goddesses have a cream for everything and a massage for everything too – wrinkles, cellulite, saggy bottoms and so on, so to hit the same high notes check out Alva Sanddorn (Anti-Ageing) Sanddorn Soft Peeling Mask and Living Nature Deep Cleansing Mask to start you off.
Aside from the anti-ageing benefits of looking after your skin, taking the time out once a week to pamper yourself will also help with stress levels, which is yet another thing standing between you and a silky-smooth face.
The final beauty 'do not' has to be sunbeds, which will counteract any good work you do, and although we all know that having a tan increases your confidence and how tempting it is to try make the remnants of your summer holiday last as long as possible, please stick with the fake tan (Evolve Beauty Skin Glow Body Cream) and do what's best for your skin.
Happy beautification!
