Protech your skin from the sun
Use a sunscreen every day. This will prevent premature ageing of skin and guard it against burns

Cigarette smoke speeds up the ageing process. It slows down the rate at which new cells are regenerated

Deep Cleanse
It clears off dead skin cells, dirt, and make up and gives youthful fresh glows

Deep Moisturizers
Use a nourishing face mask or apply a thick layer of your usual moisturizers or night cream. Leave it on the skin for 5-10 minutes. Apply to damp skin for greater effect

Boost the circulation
Use a gentle facial scrub or exfoliate once a week. This will increase the blood flow to the top layers of skin giving it a rosy glow

Disguise Lines
Existing lines can be minimized to eye by opting for the latest light – reflecting foundations concealers and powders

Pamper Regularly
Treat you skin occasionally with special treatments such as facial serums and anti-ageing creams

Be Weather Vain
Ensure your moisturizers regularly by changing your products according to the seasons

Be Gentle
Don’t drag at your skin when applying skin – care products or make-up. The skin around your eyes is particularly vulnerable to showing the signs of ageing

Clever Make-Up
