Summer is in sight and you know what that means – the sun is beginning to shine. We all love a bit of sun and sun bathing can be extremely tempting especially in the UK when good weather is fleeting. It is important to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays as too much exposure can cause the following affects: Wrinkles & Premature Aging Too much sun exposure can lead to premature aging and wrinkles; even the colour and texture of the skin can be changed because of sun damage. After years of exposure to the sun, the skin loses its ability to retain moisture and actually increases in thickness leading to fine lines and wrinkles – mainly visible around the mouth and eyes.

As we grow older our skin begins to wrinkle. Whatever precautions we take against it, it is an unavoidable and natural part of life.

Regular moisturizing and application of anti ageing products really can help to maintain the look of your skin. At a certain point in life though, you will undoubtedly begin to see the formation of wrinkles; especially around the face. There are three layers to the human skin (the epidermis, the dermis and subcutaneous tissue) and it is the impact that time has on these that is the key to understanding why the skin wrinkles. Epidermis The epidermis is the outer layer of skin. Being constantly exposed to the elements means that it is the epidermis that shows signs of ageing first. … Read more …

A study in America has shown the true benefits of ‘beauty sleep’. Sleep has long been known to have restorative effects on the body, but the healing qualities it has on the skin have recently been further discovered. Sleeping allows the body to increase its production of collagen, helping retain water, which contributes to maintaining healthy skin. Equally, sleeping in the dark also has positive effects on the skin, namely that as natural and artificial light eventually begins to damage and dry out our skin, the lack of light protects it and allows it to replenish. As our bodies are actually conditioned to sleep in the dark, we get a better night’s sleep when there is no light present, and this allows our skin to recover at a much better rate. There’s hope for you fidgeters out there too, as further investigation has proven that sleeping for long periods on … Read more …
