FUTURE PROOF your skin
Now’s the time to step up your beauty routine and look for a skincare product with triple benefits
The old adage that prevention is better than cure certainly applies when it comes to skincare. To safeguard your complexion for years to come, it’s important to protect yourself against invisible assailants such as sun damage and environmental effects. Here are four easy ways.
1 STAY SUN-SAFE
The sun’s UV rays are thought to be responsible for as much as 80 per cent of the skin’s ageing. UV light is made up of UVA and UVB rays, and while we tend to focus on the UVB, which can cause skin to burn on hot days, UVA is present even when it’s cloudy, attacking your natural stores of collagen and causing premature skin ageing. So it’s advisable to wear a broad-spectrum SPF30 (or higher) every day under your make-up, even if you’re not spending long outdoors.
2 STREAMLINE YOUR SKINCARE STEPS
It’s tempting to take a ‘more the merrier’ approach to skincare products, but overloading your skin can actually cause irritation. Instead, look for hard-working, multitasking options. Eucerin Hyaluron-filler + Elasticity 3D Serum is specially formulated for mature skin, and has both skin-firming and plumping benefits, as well as thiamidol to help reduce the appearance of age spots and prevent them recurring, with visible results in just two weeks.
3 EAT THE RAINBOW
While skincare ingredients can undoubtedly improve your complexion, you need to nourish from the inside too.
As well as being good for your overall health, a diet rich in antioxidants and polyphenols will lend radiance and vitality to your skin. In general, the stronger in colour a fruit or vegetable is, the higher the antioxidant content; think blueberries, carrots, red peppers and oranges.
4 PLUMP IT UP
Hyaluronic acid (HA) and collagen are the two key ingredients that give skin its bouncy, supple feel. Eucerin Hyaluron-filler + Elasticity 3D Serum uses HA to plump up wrinkles and reduce the appearance of fine lines, and arctiin to boost collagen production, leaving your complexion looking smooth and radiant, with greater elasticity. Used morning and night, the serum will boost your natural stores of HA and collagen, giving your skin a youthful boost.
