Next month ‘Choosing a Sun
Screen – Select the Right One for You’.
During our late
thirties and early forties many of us start to notice subtle changes to our
skin. These can include; an increase in fine lines and wrinkles,
hyper-pigmentation (age spots), dry patches on the skin, loss of elasticity,
crow’s feet around the eyes and general dullness. Damage accumulates from years of sun
exposure, hormone fluctuations, weight changes, poor skincare routines and
diet/exercise regimes.
Key target strategies
to improve the skin include; reducing inflammation, strengthening the skin
barrier, encouraging cell turnover for improved clarity and texture. Some
excellent preventative methods can also be employed to hinder future ageing and
clear pores of dead skin cells and other impurities.
Your skin specialist
will be able to suggest specific products for your own particular needs i.e.
retinol to reduce expression lines, formulated serum for a natural eye-lift, a
barrier shield with sun protection to improve pigmentation.
A combination of a
range of specific botanical (natural vegetable and/or plant derived) products
are also very popular as they tend to be suitable for a wide range of skin
types and give prolonged results with less risk of recurrence.
