Carry on Beautiful!

I don’t spend too much time fretting about wrinkles, they’re a part of getting older and I intend to accept them when I do start getting them. Hopefully, this day will still be a few years off, but there is still plenty that you can do to try and keep the wrinkles and age lines at bay for as long as possible if you too aren’t really looking forward to getting them. Ready to boost your skincare routine so you can keep your skin younger looking for longer?Well, listen up! Here are my awesome tips to maintain your youthful skin!

Reassess Skin Medication

No one wants their face to be filled with spots and blackheads, and thankfully, there is plenty that your doctor can do about these. If you had a major problem with acne in your teenage years, your doctor probably prescribed you strong lotions and oral antibiotics. They may have even put you on the contraceptive pill! These are great ways to deal with acne, but if you are still on this medication and are in your twenties, they may be having a negative effect on your skin. As a matter of fact, their side effects might cause your skin to darken and cause wrinkles! So, if you’re pretty sure that your spotty days are behind you, speak to your doc about coming off these wrinkle-inducing meds! 

Get To Know Your Skin

You and your skin have to spend a whole life together, so you really need to be best mates with each other! And the best way to get to know your skin is to understand what skin type you have. It will be dry, oily, or a combination. Once you know which type you have, you will be able to buy skin products suitable for your skin type. These will give your skin all the right nutrients it needs to stay young and healthy! Plus it means it will probably look even better when you decide to go make-up-less.

Treat Yourself To A Treatment

Feel like it’s time you pampered yourself?  If so, why not treat yourself to a professional skin care treatment! In fact, you don’t need an excuse to get a treatment – after all, it will be beneficial to your skin, which is a good enough reason, right? Not to mention how fun and relaxing it is. There are lots of different treatments that can help your skin stay soft, supple and wrinkle-free. You could go for a face peel or facial. There are lots of beauty salons and clinics where you can enjoy these treatments, including Belgravia Clinic.

Fight The Sun

Is it looking cloudy outside? That’s no excuse to not put on any sunscreen! Lots of recent scientific studies show that it is important to wear plenty of sunscreen when leaving the house, even if it isn’t sunny. That’s because even the weakest of sun rays can damage the skin and produce wrinkles and age lines, not to mention just all round not being too healthy for your skin. So, be extra cautious and grab a bottle of high SPF sun cream!

Now that you know all my awesome tips, you won’t have to worry about wrinkles too much through your twenties and thirties and beyond. So you have more time to focus on looking and feeling amazing! Always remember though, wrinkles just mean you’re living life and they’re inevitable, I promise you can still look bomb when you’re 80 and filled with wrinkles!
