Science backed ways to look younger

It has to be said, there are a lot of anti-ageing products out there promising to transform your skin, reverse ageing and eliminate wrinkles.

Wear SPF

UV rays have a damaging effect on the skin – they are a form of radiation, which degrades collagen and hyaluronic acid levels over time. This is why people who spend years tanning can end up with a heavily wrinkled face, and it’s also why hands will often age faster than faces; they are exposed to far more sun and receive far less protection over the years. There are treatments available that will increase your hyaluronic acid and collagen levels, but they are always more effective when paired with good sun protection.

Don’t smoke

Aside from age, smoking is the biggest factor in the development of wrinkles. We think it is actually quite shocking to see the difference between a smoker’s skin and a non-smoker’s skin. And it’s not just on the face, although the actual smoke and the constant pursing of the lips does make it a whole lot worse. By starving your body of oxygen, the skin all over your body becomes starved of essential nutrients like vitamin A. And that’s without even mentioning the toxins contained in tobacco, of which there are more than 4,000. These toxins attack collagen and elastin fibres in your skin, causing its structure to collapse from within. If you can stop smoking and get yourself booked onto a course of rejuvenating facials (with all that money you’ll save!) you will be amazed at the difference to your skin.

Sleep more

There are times in our lives when we don’t have a choice in how much sleep we get. Having children, being stressed about work, doing night shifts, insomnia, these all make it more or less impossible to get a good night’s sleep. But if it goes on for too long, your skin will end up dehydrated and dull because your body can’t properly detox, and this will eventually lead to wrinkles and loss of elasticity.

See results for yourself

Lifestyle changes are undoubtedly key when it comes to looking younger, but if you’re still looking for a bit of extra help, why not try one of our amazing treatments? You don’t have to take our word for it that our treatments work, so take a look at the before and after results here.

Hayami Cosmetics

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
