5 easy as pie anti-ageing tips!

Always apply a moisturiser or BB cream that contains an SPF. Seriously, all year round? Even when strolling around town or on an overcast day? Yes!! 75% of skin's exposure to UV rays happens outside of summer months and 90% of all skin ageing issues are caused by these rays. So time to take things in hand. An SPF 30 is ideal, although on a cloudy day an SPF 15 will do nicely.  

An anti-ageing face mask will soak your skin in active ingredients. Apply a thick layer once a month to clean, dry skin. Choose a product rich in anti-ageing ingredients: smoothing, firming, moisturising, anti-blemish, anti-wrinkle ... By coating your face, your skin will be able to absorb all its goodness. And don't forget your neck! Added plus: if you don't use it all up, apply a thin layer to your hands - it will both deeply moisturise the epidermis and help get rid of pigment spots. 

Nothing beats a scrub to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin and allow it to breathe. Opt for a fine scrub that won't damage your skin. Avoid your eye contour area and apply it using small, circular movements. Your skin will be oxygenated, your circulation given a boost and cell renewal will resume at its normal pace. Your complexion will be left even and glowing!  

To plump up your skin you'll need to hydrate from both inside and out. Drink non-alcoholic beveragesthroughout the day, even if you're not thirsty - water, tea and herbal/fruit teas will do the trick. When you wake up, give your face a spritz of water and apply a moisturiser. Then, a quarter of an hour later, apply a second layer of moisturiser or an anti-ageing treatment. This will immediately smooth and plump up your skin. 

Don't worry if you feel a bit silly - a daily facial workout is great for toning up our features! Firstly, stand in front of a mirror and grin. As wide as possible! Hold for ten seconds. Repeat 5 times. Then puff out your cheeks and hold for 10 seconds max: again, repeat 5 times. Finally, using circular movements with both hands, massage above your cheekbones and gradually work down to the middle of your cheeks. And kiss goodbye to saggy cheeks and jowls!
