6. Use SPF daily, even in the winter. The sun causes more damage to our skin than anything else we are exposed to and the sun’s UV rays can have a detrimental affect on collagen which strengthens the skins elasticity. An SPF can also help prevent age spots.

7. Get plenty of sleep. A pale and dull complexion is one of the most obvious signs of insufficient sleep, along with bags under your eyes and dark circles. During sleep, your body repairs and renews itself. A healthy sleep pattern is one of the biggest keys to younger looking skin.

8. Reduce stress levels. Stress is one of the most common reasons why we feel run down and tired which has a knock-on affect with skin health. So make sure that you take time out for yourself and relax.

9. Stop smoking as this causes free radical stress on our skin as the smoke is absorbed and causes damage. Wrinkles will be more concentrated around the mouth because that’s where puckering of the lips and eyes occur when inhaling smoke.

10. Remember the adage that you ‘are what you eat’. Nothing is truer for the state of your skin. If you are looking after your body with healthy eating with a balanced diet and regular exercise, this should shine through in your skin.
