Tips for resilient skin: younger-looking skin for longer

If you ask us, mature skin care isn’t about how to look younger. It’s about how to keep your skin acting youthful – keeping that skin production cycle going at the same speed it always has. Because, as we age, it starts to slow down, causing our skin to lose its resilience and plumpness. Which is why it needs our help to keep it looking the way we’d like it to, and not just focusing on our face: the rest of our body needs some attention, too.

Protect your skin from sun.

The biggest thing you can do for healthy, younger-looking skin is to protect it from the sun. The UVA rays it emits leads to photoageing (and this damage can cause wrinkles, age spots and loss of elasticity), so using SPF, keeping your skin covered up or staying out of the sun when it’s at its strongest could help keep your skin healthy and damage-free longer
