Follow these tips for more youthful skin

Winding back the years isn't as easy as we would like, but a few little tips that could help us along our way could make a wrinkle of a difference. 

DestinationSkin Specialist (www.destinationskin.com), Jessica Cannell, shares her top anti-ageing tips. 

Wear an spf EVERY day! Free radicals caused by UV exposure are to blame to about 80% of skin ageing. When we look at ageing we are looking at lines and wrinkles, pigmentation and redness. Every time you are outside the skin is being damaged by UVA rays which have the ability to penetrate into the dermis even on a cold cloudy day. The older you are the more free radical damage you have had - this is ageing.

For the very best prevention against 80% of ageing we need to stop the free radical damage. The only way to do this is to use an antioxidant and physical broad spectrum spf every day. Obagi Pro C 15% is a daily antioxidant containing pure vitamin C to increase the skins natural defence to UV exposure and neutralise free radicals whilst building collagen. Dermaquest Zinclear is a physical broad spectrum spf30. Physical means there are no chemicals that could cause irritation and broad spectrum means it will protect the skin from all the UVA and UVB rays.

Never rub your eyes!!! Some people just love to rub their eyes. It could be when getting up in the morning or when getting home from work. Rubbing your eyes will cause continual damage to the skin which will result in lines, wrinkles and crepeyness. A little bit of mascara every day will stop you doing this.

Sleep on your back! - Lying on your side in bed can cause lines down the side of the face. The older you get the more you will notice that they stay for longer and longer in the morning until they become permanent.

Exercise - A good amount of exercise each week will keep you flexible and fit. Even gentle yoga increases blood flow to all of your muscles and skin cells. Improving blood flow will feed the cells with all of the oxygen and nutrients they require.

Target already-present wrinkles! If there are already wrinkles present on the skin the very best firming range is the Dermquest 3D Stem Cell range. The 3D Stem Cell Complex is a daily moisturiser that you can use on top of the antioxidant serum to increase collagen and elastin. This moisturiser combines 3 stem cells with antioxidants, peptides and hyaluronic acid. It really is everything your skin wants in one pot.
