SKIN
Action plan
- Take extra care with your skin at this stage in life.
- Stick to a gentle cleanser/toner to clean your skin, avoiding irritants and astringents such as alcohol.
- Use a good moisturiser with a built-in SPF, and keep out of the sun.
- You may want to try a cream with an 'anti-ageing' formula such as retinol or idebenone – use these products at night because they make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
- Remember: as our skin ages, wrinkles are both natural and normal. A lived-in face has as much character and beauty as a youthful one.

Choose the right cleanser
Be sure to pick a cleanser that isn’t too strong for your skin as this can strip your skin of its natural oils.
Products for blemish-prone skin may cause over-drying, leaving the skin vulnerable to environmental assault.
Stick to a skin routine
Find a skin routine that works for you and stick to it because your skin will respond best to a routine.
Make sure you remove your make-up every night and always wear SPF on your face, neck and décolletage, even when the sun isn’t shining, to protect against skin cancer and keep your skin looking youthful.
Moisturise
For those that suffer from dry skin, it is particularly important to moisturise your skin every day by regularly applying a body moisturiser that contains glycerin to help lock in moisture.
The goal is to replenish, lock in and restore moisture levels.
Exfoliate
Regularly exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin cells and improve cell turnover.
This will improve the texture of your skin, leaving it soft and glowing.
Massage a facial scrub into the skin using a circular motion to further boost the blood flow.
Think Holistic
Look after your skin from the inside out – drink lots of water and eat plenty of water-rich fruit and vegetables, which will keep your skin looking plump and radiant.
Getting at least eight hours sleep a night is also very important as this is when your skin repairs itself.
