Skin Care to Fight Aging
While we now know the golden rule to prevent ageing is to always wear sunscreen, there are a few more things you can do to help.
Use a hydrating day cream
Nivea Visage Q10 Plus Anti-Wrinkle Tinted Day Cream, $18.89, helps to restore the body’s natural supply of antioxidant Q10 – plus it’s a timesaving two-in-one. The tinted formula has the ideal amount of colour to hide all manner of imperfections. So easy, so fast!
Restore your skin overnight
Night creams work while you’re asleep, repairing the damage that’s been caused during day. Dr Lewinn’s Ultra R4 Regenerative Night Cream, (1), $94.95, includes rosehip oil and shea butter to improve skin’s moisture levels and texture. It also contains pro-collagen and pro-elastin peptides to minimise lines.
TLC for eye area
‘The eye area is particularly sensitive to sun exposure’ says Tony Vargas, vice-president of research and development for Elizabeth Arden. ‘Everything that challenges skin as you get older is even more true for the eye area, which is thinner, drier and more fragile than skin elsewhere on the body.’ Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Plump Perfect Ultra Lift and Firm Eye Cream SPF 15, (4), $95, contains broad-spectrum sunscreens that protect the skin.
Exfoliate daily
L’Oréal Paris has invented an ingenious device called the Clean Pod – a flexible cleansing disc with rubber bristles to gently give a deep-down clean. We love the Perfect Clean Gentle Scrub, (2), $12.95, to refine pores.
HOW TO: mini facial massage
STEP 1 Using a facial moisturiser or oil, begin at the base of the throat and use gentle and upward strokes.
STEP 2 Use sliding movements along your jaw line, then circular motions over your cheeks and ears.
STEP 3 lightly tap around the eye area with the pads of your fingers from the outer working inward.
STEP 4 finally, use relaxing circular strokes over your temples before repeating the process as many times as you like.
Don’t forget your body!
Your face isn’t the only place to suffer from ageing – our bodies get wrinkly too. Slather on body cream morning and night – we love Nivea Firming Body Lotion Q10, $6.50, which is an antioxidant-rich formula that’s great for dry, mature skin.
