The Truth about Ageing skin
As we grow older, our skin experiences several significant changes. The skin’s natural support system begins to break down, causing fine lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity. Additionally, the skin’s surface begins to show dark and light spots, roughness and redness.
Even though our skin does ‘naturally’ age, research has shown that 90% of premature ageing is due to harmful environmental elements, particularly UV radiation or sun exposure, but also stress, pollution and smoking.
| Tips for sensitive skin |
- Gently cleanse and exfoliate daily with a gentle exfoliant
such as glycolic acid to remove thickened, aged skin cells.

skin well hydrated by using a moisturiser that balances skin lipids and
natural moisture levels.
- Use anti-ageing ingredients such as Vitamin
A, glycolic acid and BHA’s to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles to
improve skin texture.

containing zinc oxide everyday with a minimum SPF 15.
