Anti-ageing Beauty Tips

  Implement these tried and tested tips and real life hints on how to look younger, and see the difference for yourself.

TIP #1: HYDRATION

“Keep your face hydrated by using a serum and/or facial oil… Skin dehydration is the quickest way to accentuate fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores - not to mention leaving your skin dull and uneven-toned." - bh's Debbie

TIP #2: BROWN MASCARA

“I believe in using brown mascara and eyeliner (rather than black) as you age because the finish is not so harsh." - Di

TIP #3: TINTED CREAM VS FOUNDATION

"Your one way ticket to looking older is to go overboard with the foundation! Opt for a dewy light coverage like NIVEA Q10 Plus Anti-Wrinkle CC Cream instead! You’ll look years younger!" – Youarebeautiful

TIP #4: MOISTURISATION

"Your skin and hair is prone to getting drier as you age, so a good daily facial moisturiser and weekly leave-in hair treatments are a must." - Janet

TIP #5: STAY OUT OF THE SUN

"Don’t sunbake – you'll only end up like a leather handbag. Actually, in general I think it’s wise to stay out of all harsh natural environments." - Laura C

TIP #6: TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYE AREA

“Use eye creams and always wear dark sunglasses outdoors, as your eye area is the first thing to start ageing." - Natalie N

TIP #7: SLEEP

"It's not ingenious – it's common sense – but sleep, sleep, sleep at least eight hours every night." - Liz


TIP #8: GREEN TEA & YOGA

"I swear by drinking green tea to help keep signs of ageing at bay! Plus plenty of water for fresh, glowing, hydrated skin! I also find doing Yoga is a good way to help prevent forehead wrinkles as they will coach you through relaxing your face and letting go of tension in your forehead." – Lorir16

TIP #9: EXFOLIATION

"Dry body brushing has many benefits, including anti ageing benefits. Daily brushing exfoliates the skin as well as toning, which in turn slows down the ageing process. Increasing the blood circulation tightens the skin making it less prone to wrinkles." – Kassalee

TIP #10: SMILE

"A combination of: glossy hair, glossy lips, cream blush, a fringe, friends who are younger than you, kindness in your heart, and the one thing that is guaranteed to take at least five years off – a beaming smile." – katshepsutt

TIP #11: SUPERCHARGE WITH ROSEHIP OIL

"Supercharge your daily moisturiser by adding a few drops of rosehip oil to it for more nourished, plumper and youthful looking skin. Rosehip oil helps minimise the appearance of wrinkles, smooths the skin, and dramatically improves moisture levels, leaving the skin’s appearance radiant and glowing." – Beautynutter

TIP #12: DAILY CLEANSING & MOISTURISATION

"I am 80 and many have told me I look 70. I have never ever gone to bed without cleansing and putting on a good quality anti ageing cream. I think ageing is when you let your skin dry out, so this is a job that has to be done nightly even if exhausted." - barbiedoll99

TIP #13: KEEP UP YOUR SKIN REGIME

"Commencing a good skin care regimen as a teenager and adjusting your skin care needs as you get older. In my 20s I started using eye creams and masks, and in my 30s I commenced using anti ageing cream. In my 40s I introduced skin serums and have continued to do so in my 50s." – Roxymisha

TIP #14: BE GENTLE

"Be gentle on your skin and never presume that you are too young to start looking after your skin to prevent ageing. It is a lot easier and cheaper to prevent wrinkles with good skin care rather than trying to get rid of them once they are there." – Kiwi@heart

TIP #15: LOOK AFTER HANDS, NECK AND DÉCOLLETAGE

“Don’t forget to look after your hands, neck and décolletage as these are often the first places to show our age. We all spend a lot of time looking after and protecting our face but if we don’t also pay the same attention to our hands, neck and décolletage they will give away our age." – Chickybabe1
