Skin and ageing

One day, you look in the mirror. There are a few lines, few wrinkles. The skin on your neck isn’t as taut. Maybe there are smile or frown lines. The truth is that ageing does change your skin. There is less elasticity due to sun exposure, gravity and habits like smoking that take a toll.

But reality also means that there are certain factors you can control. So what can you do to keep your skin looking natural and at its best?

Water — keeping hydrated helps flush out your system and hydrate your pores

• Sleep — A good night’s sleep can do wonders for your skin, renewing and rejuvenating the cells
• SPF — Limiting sun exposure limits the effects of UVA rays, which can increase wrinkles and fine lines. Using an SPF product (such as Lord & Lily’s SPF25 BB Cream) helps protect the skin from further damage
• Added Protection—SPF helps protect the skin, but so does an anti-ageing serum. Perhaps you’ve never used one before, but a layer of extra protection that hydrates and tightens, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can help. Lord & Lily’s Anti-Aging Serum is one product that does all of this with 14 essential oils and plant extracts that actually help improve skin tone

So there may not be a fountain of youth, but there are solutions to look your best — and natural ones at that. Be sure to stay free of products with chemical ingredients that can irritate and dry skin as well.
