Wrinkles

Sun Block

Sunlight is one of the biggest cause of skin ageing. Use a sunscreen daily, this will guard skin against burning and also will prevent the skin from becoming prematurely aged.

Smoking

Cigarette smoking slows down the rate of regeneration of new cells and speeds up the ageing process because it strips your skin of oxygen.

Since heavy smokers constantly pursue their lips to draw on a cigarette ,fine lines develop around their mouth . Due to smoking the skin becomes gray and appears sluggish.

Cleansing

To give the skin most youthful and fresh glow it is very essential that the skin is clear from the dead skin cells, dirt and make up.
This is done by using a creamy cleanser with a cotton wool.
Massage skin with an oily cleanser if the skin is of dry type.
Leave it on your skin for a few minutes and then wash away with warm water.

Moisturizing

Pamper the skin weekly with a moisturizer. Use a nourishing face mask or apply a thick layer of usual moisturizer or night cream. Keep it for 5-10 minutes, then remove the excess with tissues.

Exfoliation

Increase the blood flow to the top layers and encourage cell renewal by exercising a gentle facial scrub once a week. This makes the surface of the skin soft and smooth. The same effect can be achieved by lathering up a facial wash with a clean shaving brush.

Disguise Lines

Light- reflecting foundations, concealers and powders can minimize the existing lines to the extent that they are almost invisible to the naked eye. They contain luminescent particles which bounce light away from the skin. This gives skin a brilliant luminosity and makes the lines less noticeable.

Self Pampering

Treat your skin occasionally to special treatment such as facials, serums and anti-ageing creams. This will result in healthily glowing look of the skin.

Weather Vain

The skin should be pampered according to the climate. Apply oily product in the winter, to keep the skin well lubricated but in hot weather, lighter formulations are more comfortable on the skin.

Gentle Touch

The skin around your eyes is most sensitive and shows the signs of ageing. Skin may get stretched if a heavy touch is applied. Therefore take utmost care that the skin is not dragged while applying skin-care products or make-up.

Take your strokes upwards and do not drag the skin down. Always use a light touch to the skin.

Avoid products that cause reaction like itching, stinging or inflammation of the skin.

Beneficial Make-up

To treat your skin superficially and improve it's appearance make-up products nowadays contain UV filters and skin-nourishing ingredients.
