Erase Smokers Lip Lines With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

If we feel like we're beginning to look older it's only natural that we might like to reverse the effects of ageing. We will all get some facial wrinkles as we age, especially fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Anyone can get lip lines, and things like repetitive movement, sun exposure, smoking and genetics will speed up the process. As their skin is thinner, women tend to get lip and mouth wrinkles more often than men.

The lips are an important part of facial beauty, the shape and appearance of the lips draw the eye, and full, plump lips have become increasingly identified with both youth and beauty. As we get older the natural breakdown of collagen and elastin fibres causes the lip volume to deplete, making them look thinner and flatter.  Many beauty products claim to halt the effects of ageing but there's no such thing and unfortunately our skin will continuously age regardless, but there are some ways to lessen lip lines and wrinkles.

Exfoliate

A natural way to lessen lip wrinkles is to exfoliate once a day. This will take away dead skin cells and the wrinkles will appear shallower.
Lip balm
When the lips are kept moist and hydrated it helps to prevent them from drying and wrinkling. Also consider using balm with sunscreen, when out in the sun.
Diet
Include food rich in antioxidants, such as leafy vegetables and citrus fruits and fatty omega 3 foods like fish or fish oil supplements into your diet.
Facial exercises
Massaging the face will increase blood circulation and tightens muscles and tissues around the mouth.
Water
Drink plenty of water to replace lost moisture to keep the skin hydrated and plump.

Injectable dermal fillers plump up thin lips, smoothing out vertical lines around the edges of the lips. The filler stimulates collagen production and encourages new tissue growth in and around the injected area. Over time, the body absorbs the gel carrier, while collagen continues to grow at the injection site, replacing the gel with the natural tissue.

Benefits of Lip Injections:

• Safe and non invasive
• Quick and effective results
• Adding volume to thin lips will improve the skin around the mouth
• Minimal recovery time and side effects
• Can resume routine activities almost immediately after treatment

Lip fillers offer a quick and effective way to withstand the ageing process. The results are immediate and side effects are almost none existent, although some people may very occasionally experience slight redness, mild swelling and some tenderness after treatment.

Replace Lost Volume in the Cheeks With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A youthful face has plump apple cheeks, smooth contours and a natural glow, but as we get older, we lose volume due to the loss of collagen, which takes away this natural glow. Keeping our face looking youthful is achievable using injectable treatments and dermal fillers are one of the most popular choices available today.

Dermal fillers can enhance your cheeks by filling in lost volume and bringing back a smoother, fuller and healthier look to your skin. Filler containing hyaluronic acid is a very good choice because of its excellent compatibility with the human body, making it ideal to erase facial wrinkles and lines and replace volume loss. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found the body and when used in a filler it acts as a network that transfers essential nutrients from the bloodstream to the skin cells.

Filler is used to:
*  Create higher cheekbones
*  Minimise harsh angles creating a smoother cheek contour
*  Give the cheek a natural curve
*  Fill in hollow cheeks

High cheekbones are a thing of beauty, but unfortunately they don't come naturally to everyone. Loss of volume will diminish the cheek, making them seem hollow and gaunt but using facial filler to add volume to the cheeks could rectify this, and bring the back the symmetry of the face. The three main landmarks on the face are the nose, cheeks and chin, and the facial structure might seem unbalanced when one of these is out of proportion.

A practitioner will inject dermal filler into the hollow areas, and you'll immediately notice the difference as the wrinkles vanish and the sunken areas get more volume. When our body's own collagen starts to decrease, hyaluronic acid fillers will replace the deteriorating supporting layers of the skin, and temporarily replenish the skin's volume.

Facial fillers are a simple solution and they offer many benefits:

• They're minimally invasive
• Results are instantly visible, although the full results may take a couple of weeks to appear
• Procedure takes less than an hour
• Minimal downtime required after the treatment
• Results will last from nine months to a year

The dermal filler will plump up the apples of the cheeks and sculpt the cheek bones. Higher, fuller cheeks can enhance your appearance, balance your other facial features and instantly restore your face to a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are ideal for those who want to look younger and fresher without the need for invasive surgery. They can work wonders for skin that has wrinkles and volume loss and these treatments are a wonderful option to fight the signs of ageing.

Treatments For Rejunenating The Ageing Face - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Normal signs of ageing on the face can include fine lines and wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, and unfortunately these issues will only intensify over time. Our skin naturally starts to lose elasticity  causing wrinkles, and things like repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, smoking, poor diet and dehydration will all speed up the natural ageing process, causing wrinkles.

Our skin ages in different ways:

• Wrinkles -  Skin loses some of its elasticity causing wrinkles and fine lines. As it becomes thinner and drier, we will notice new wrinkles appearing around the neck, eyes, forehead, mouth and lips. Repetitive movements of the face over the years are usually the cause of these lines.
• Frown lines - Frequent frowning when concentrating or worrying, can cause deep forehead furrows.
• Eye Lines - Wrinkles appear at the outer corners of the eyes, caused by squinting in sunshine, reading in dim light, or looking at the computer screen.
• Mouth lines - Fine lines around the edges of the mouth and lips are usually caused by smoking, pursing the lips or puckering up the lips when drinking through a straw.

Loss of volume
A dramatic change to the skin as we reach our thirties, is the loss of collagen. Collagen production starts to diminish over time, leaving fine lines and wrinkles and a loss of skin elasticity. We'll lose plumpness in the face because of fat and tissue loss under the skin. This lost volume can make the face look gaunt and hollow, especially around the eyes and the cheeks.

The natural rate of ageing causes some of our wrinkles, sagging and volume loss, but there are some characteristics of ageing which are completely out of our control; like genetics, anatomy and gravity. However, there are cosmetic procedures available which can help to slow down the ageing process.

Profhilo - This contains pure hyaluronic acid with no added chemicals, making it an extremely safe cosmetic treatment, with no risks. The slow release of hyaluronic acid injections stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin, which results in significant improvement of tissue quality. Profhilo is an injectable treatment that can both prevent and correct the signs of ageing.

Botox - The signs of facial ageing can easily be reduced or eliminated by botox treatment, resulting in a natural and more youthful appearance.

Dermal fillers - The precise placing of fillers gives a natural filled out appearance to the hollows in sunken cheeks and under eye troughs and softens deep grooves, giving you dramatic results.

Profhilo & Dermal Fillers for Wrinkly Hands - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

One of the few places on the body that actually loses fat as we age, is the backs of the hands. As we age our hands lose their firmness and volume, causing the veins and tendons to become more prominent. The skin on the hands is naturally thin and with continued exposure to the elements causes the skin to get thinner, drier and rougher.

Our hands are one of the first areas that tend to show signs of ageing, more so than other parts of the body. The hands, face and neck are the most visible areas of the body as they aren't usually covered with clothing. The sun, wind and rain, over the years, can cause our hands to become scaly, and sun-damage will cause wrinkles and visible veins, which makes them look older than they actually are. Over time our hands lose volume, fat and elasticity and become translucent and wrinkly and this results in the veins, tendons and bony structures becoming more obvious.

Before and after Profhilo injections

There are many signs of ageing on the hands:

• Age / Sun spots - We get pigmentation spots on the hands after years of exposure to the sun, and without intervention they will multiply, remember to always apply sun screen into your hands.
• Prominent veins - The loss of volume will leave the hands thinner and bony, and this will make the veins more prominent.
• Dry skin - As with the face, a dry, dull complexion will make your hands look older than they are, so putting on an emollient-rich hand cream will help to improve the skin.
• Crinkly skin - As we age, the body produces less collagen and when the hands lose collagen, the skin on the hands gets thinner and they start to look dry and crumpled.

Exposure to the sun can quickly age your hands, but the bigger problem is volume loss. Both dermal filler and Profhilo treatment can help.

Profhilo is an anti wrinkle injectable treatment that can work on many parts of the body. It's an injectable that's made from hyaluronic acid and is perfect for addressing areas where wrinkles are evident, as it stimulates the area to produce more collagen. We inject Profhilo superficially into the skin on the back of the hands at specific points called BAP (bio-active points)

Before and after dermal filler injections

Dermal fillers will restore lost volume and plump up bony hands, making prominent veins look less obvious. The dermal fillers are delicately inserted with very fine needles after applying topical anaesthetic to numb the injection area. The quality and texture of your skin improves with dermal filler treatment and decreases wrinkles and prominent veins.

Rejuvenate Your Skin With Profhilo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Profhilo is a new rejuvenating injectable treatment that's taking the cosmetic world by storm. It's an injectable treatment that can both prevent and correct the signs of ageing. Profhilo contains pure hyaluronic acid with no added chemicals, making it an extremely safe cosmetic treatment, with no risks. The slow release of hyaluronic acid injections stimulates four different types of collagen and elastin, which results in significant improvement of tissue quality. It works by spreading into the skin tissue to improve elasticity, creating a lifting and tightening effect while at the same time improving the skin's appearance.

Unlike dermal fillers, Profhilo does not change the facial structure. We inject Profhilo into the superficial subcutaneous layer of skin in certain places and it disperses within twenty-four hours. These injections restore hydration and increase collagen production to give a youthfulness that no other injectable treatment can.

We use Profhilo to treat skin laxity and improve skin quality and the most popular areas that we treat are the face, neck, hands and décolleté. It's used to treat skin laxity and skin quality almost anywhere, and clients report an overall improvement in skin hydration, brightness, smoothness and firmness.

Profhilo doesn’t augment facial features as dermal fillers do, instead it improves the skin's quality through hydration, tone, texture, and lifting. It's a suitable treatment for skin that's thinning, tired, ageing and looking dull and dehydrated, as it will improve your overall skin’s laxity and bounce. Profhilo is ideal for those who need more than high-end skin care but aren’t quite ready for dermal fillers. It won’t change the way you look, or stop any facial expressions or movement, it will simply give you a healthy glow.

Before any treatment you'll have consultation and a visual assessment of your skin, and our cosmetic doctor will talk to you about your needs, hopes and expectations. This will give us a better understanding of which treatment you need and which places to inject to give you the best outcome, giving you a bespoke treatment plan that's entirely tailored to you.

The treatment might cause some discomfort but a topical anaesthetic cream application will numb the area. We inject Profhilo into five injection points on each side of the face, and the most sensitive places are around the lips and eyes as the skin is thinner and more sensitive in these areas. The treatment takes about thirty minutes and afterwards there’s a risk of bumps at the injection points and maybe some slight bruising as well, but this won't last very long.

Increase The Skin's Firmness & Elasticity with Profhilo - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Once we have reached our thirties, our skin cells begin to lose collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This can cause a loss of volume in our face, and we can get dry skin and notice an increase of lines and wrinkles. If you're starting to show signs of ageing but aren’t quite ready to have dermal filler treatment, then Profhilo is an ideal way to refresh your skin and give it a youthful glow.

There's a new anti-ageing treatment called Profhilo, which is an injectable treatment and involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin, making it an ideal treatment for skin that is losing its elasticity and firmness through ageing. Smoking, stress, environmental factors and ageing, can cause the skin to begin losing its natural firmness and elasticity and Profhilo is a treatment which can work almost anywhere; the face, neck, décolleté, hands, arms and knees, places where the skin is starting to show noticeable signs of ageing. After this treatment there's a noticeable improvement straight away in skin tone, hydration as well as firmness, and the reduction of fine lines.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that attracts and binds water in the skin, providing volume and hydration. Profhilo, which is made up from hyaluronic acid gel, will increase facial fullness with a tightening and lifting effect, ​improving the skin tone, texture, hydration and radiance and increasing firmness and elasticity, resulting in a softer, healthier skin and a natural-looking appearance.

The treatment aims to:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin growth
• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
• Improve the skin's quality
• Hydrate the skin
• Brighten the complexion
• Tighten skin
• Lift and firm

Profhilo is a hyaluronic acid gel with one of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market. At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we inject Profhilo in five separate points on the face to restore lost volume and to give an overall rejuvenated look. Rather than just adding volume and filling wrinkles, the slow release of hyaluronic acid will stimulate collagen and elastin production, which in turn will improve skin tone, hydration and the appearance of fine lines.

Profhilo is not a better option to fillers, and vice versa. Both of these treatments provide different approaches, so there will be one treatment that works best for your skin and your desired results. Profhilo offers greater safety due to its high purity and the absence of additives, reducing any risks and side effects.

Profhilo treatment consists of two sessions, four weeks apart. After your treatment, the injection points maybe slightly raised but these usually settle after a couple of hours. Results are best noticed after two sessions a month apart, however clients tend to notice a significant difference after only one session.

Add Volume & Enhance Your Lips Using Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The lips are an indicator of ageing, as time spent biting or pursing them can lead to thin, deflated lips over time. Lips can say a lot about a person's age, health and character, and after years spent; talking, chewing, pouting, smoking or smiling can all lead to lines and wrinkles gathering around the lips.

Full, plump lips are typically a sign of youthfulness, and it's one of the main reasons that women have their lips cosmetically enhanced, and these days it's very easy to rejuvenate your lips, however old you might be. The lips start losing collagen as a direct result of ageing, and then they start to become thinner. Lip enhancement is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure using dermal fillers, which will increase flat, thin lips, add volume and enhance the overall shape.

Important rules for lip filler enhancement:

* Natural looking results - Our lips are always on the go, so when we talk or smile we want it to look natural. For natural looking lips it's best to start with a small amount of filler and gradually add more, if needed. Less is often more, and it's best to have lips that look natural, rather than over-stuffing them.
* Safety - The preferred filler for lips are those which are hyaluronic acid based, because with this filler any side effects are extremely rare. This filler gives lips a natural feel, they are soft, absorbable and reversible if needed.

* Natural feel - If you choose an experienced cosmetic doctor with the right injection technique and then any lumpiness shouldn't occur. 

Dermal fillers for the lips are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments available, and they are a very quick and easy way to improve your facial appearance. The fillers typically last between six to nine months and because hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin, the risk of any bad reactions to the treatment is very small.

You can enhance these areas of the lips:

• Vermilion border - fillers will give a better outline and they will improve definition and minimise lipstick bleed.
• The upper and lower lip - can have filler injected into it, giving more volume and substance to the lip.
• Cupid bow - defining the cupid bow gives female lips a balance.
• Philtrum ridges - when injected, the filler defines the philtrum ridges, further enhancing the lips.

Lip fillers can give your lips the outline and definition that time has destroyed. Check out our website / Facebook and Instagram and find out about the latest methods of lip enhancements, including what to expect during the procedure.

Replace Lost Volume in Your Lips - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Over time, the volume of our lips will deplete, leaving them with a thinner, flatter appearance. We aren't all blessed with naturally full lips, many of us need a little help to achieve the fullness that we want.

The amount of dermal filler needed varies from person to person, as someone with very thin lips would need more than someone with lips that are already quite naturally plump. Of course, everyone has different ideas about how much volume they would like to add to their lips.

Filler doesn't usually change the shape of the lips to a great degree, it actually enhances the volume and voluptuousness of the lips, but it can help to elevate the corners of the mouth to create a slightly happier and relaxed look and not having the 'down in the mouth' look that sometimes comes with ageing.

A lip enhancement treatment using dermal fillers is a quick and safe way to give you fuller lips with a natural freshness, and it can also minimise fine lines and wrinkles along the edges of the lips. Most people who are thinking about a lip enhancement procedure want fuller lips that are smooth, plump, wrinkle-free and youthful looking.

Having dermal fillers injected into the lips can sometimes make people nervous, they worry that they'll get massively inflated lips, but this isn't the reality. If you have always dreamed of full, sensuous lips, then Doctor Bassi at Selston Cosmetic Clinic can help you to get beautiful natural looking lips which will suit you and your face. We can adjust the amount of lip filler to suit the need of each client.

Once the dermal filler gets injected, you will see an instant result, with fuller, well-defined, contoured lips. The fillers used are hyaluronic acid based, which is a natural part of the body, meaning the risk of an adverse reaction to the procedure is very small. Changes in the lip shape can create fullness and can also correct asymmetry. Dermal fillers for the lips are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments available and are a very quick and easy way to dramatically improve your look.

A reputable clinic will always discuss what you do, and what you don't want at your consultation. Dr Bassi, is our fully trained, very experienced, specialist cosmetic doctor with over 10 years experience in injectable treatments. The effects typically last around 6-9 months. After that you'll need more injections to top-up the volume of your lips.

Facial Fillers Erase Wrinkles & Add Volume - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Hyaluronic acid, hydration and water retention in our body decreases as we get older causing our skin to lose its plumpness and begin to get drier. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that occurs in the body, it holds water, which hydrates and gives volume to the skin, but unfortunately as we age this production of hyaluronic acid starts to diminish.

Cheek enhancement using dermal fillers

For many reasons; maybe age, stress or weight loss, we might find that our face is beginning to look tired, drawn and gaunt. Skin on younger people looks firmer and plumper in comparison, thanks in part to collagen and hyaluronic acid. One of the ways we can combat the signs of getting older, is to replace the hyaluronic acid that is lost during the ageing process with dermal fillers. They create a naturally smoothed out appearance, fill in the fine lines and wrinkles and plump out the grooves and creases.

Dermal fillers are an ideal treatment to improve facial contours, fill out sunken cheeks, reduce wrinkles and fine lines and help people regain their former youthful looks. Before our late 30's, the skin should still keep it's natural contoured nature and volume, without too many wrinkles or sagging, which makes the process a better prospect for middle-aged skin. Although late nights, heavy drinking and smoking can speed up the signs of ageing, so it's possible to need dermal fillers at a younger age.

Dermal fillers on tear troughs

Placing the fillers in strategic places will:

• Add volume to hollowed, gaunt, or sunken areas of the face.
• Give a natural filled out appearance under the lower eyelids, correcting the hollowed eyed look.
• Soften the deep grooves between the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth.
• Add volume to the cheeks, improving the marionette lines from the mouth to the chin.
• Jowl correction will give you a smooth jaw line.
• Will gently thicken skin that has thinned, due to ageing.
• Improve furrows, deep folds and creases.
• Will plump up the apples of the cheeks and sculpt the cheek bones.
• Lip enhancement will give better definition, reduce lipstick bleed, add volume and give a fuller appearance.

Dermal filler on lip lines

The effects of dermal fillers are instant. There's a small chance however, of slight bleeding where the needle enters the skin, and slight swelling or redness at the injection area, although this will go down very quickly and the use of an ice pack will speed up resolution.

Look Your Best with Face & Body Treatments at Selston - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

We all like an evening out, getting dressed up in a beautiful dress and our make-up applied to perfection, but it's underneath the glamour where the hard work has happened to get us looking great. High-definition photo's that we put on our social media, means that every detail of our face and body is there for everyone to scrutinise.

There are lots of treatments and procedures available that can get us looking fabulous.

Laser hair removal
High definition cameras will pick up embarrassing facial hair, making laser hair removal an ideal treatment to have before a special occasion or a big night out. Hair removal on body area's such as the legs, bikini line, facial hairs, arms and armpits are easily treated, making the skin smoother. Laser treatment is a safe and effective way to reduce unwanted body and facial hair.

Lips
Sometimes lips are thin; maybe thinning because of ageing or they might have always been a bit flat, but they don't have to stay that way. To get plumper lips just a small amount of hyaluronic acid can make a big difference, and as well as adding volume, lip fillers can also improve the lip borders and give the lips definition.

                       

Vaser lipo
When you're on an evening out wearing a tight fitted dress, any small pockets of fat on the tummy and hips will show, but they can easily be removed with vaser lipo, so there aren't any noticeable lumps and bumps. Vaser can also remove fat from a double chin, and take fat away from the upper arms, helping to stop those bingo wings from flapping.

Microdermabrasion / Chemical peels
Procedures such as facials, microdermabrasion, or chemical peels will take the dead cells from the face, revealing rejuvenated new skin. Regular facial treatments will give the face a youthful and radiant complexion.

Botox and Fillers
Injectable fillers can help to plump up lips and cheeks and a skilled cosmetic doctor can strategically inject botox to erase forehead creases, the frown lines, the lines between the eyebrows and the crows feet around the eyes, giving a natural, softer and relaxed look to the face. Botox injections between the eyebrows can raise them, giving the eyes a more open and less stressed look. Botox isn't only for the face, it's also used to inject into the armpits to prevent sweating, putting an end to perspiration stains around the armpits of your clothing.

So if you have a big night out coming up, or a special occasion where you need to look your best, then Selston Cosmetic Clinic provides lots of cosmetic procedures which will make you feel like a million dollars.

Younger Looking Hands with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Lots of women's beauty routines tend to focus on applying face creams and body lotions, but sometimes they forget about their hands, which is the part of the body that shows unwanted signs of ageing the fastest. Most women notice their hands looking older usually when they reach their 40's, but the signs of ageing skin can begin showing a lot earlier if they neglect to use sun protection in their younger years.

The skin on the back of the hands is naturally thin and as they're exposed to the weather throughout the seasons, they experience wind, rain, cold and worst of all excessive sun exposure. Too much sun on unprotected skin causes blemishes, pigmentation and can destroy the collagen and elastin in the skin. 

We start to see ageing in the hands, with things ranging from; wrinkles, liver spots, prominent veins and dry flaky skin, and whilst we all grow older, we don't want to feel that our hands look older than our face. Of course no matter what we do, our hands will age regardless, whether from loss of volume in the natural course of ageing, sun exposure or excessive immersion in water which can lead to dehydration.

Many things make hands look older;

Age spots

• Age spots are actually nothing to do with age, they are the result of sun exposure. Our hands are constantly exposed to the weather, and even if you've been meticulous with your sun screen applications, discoloration and sunspots will eventually appear. Prevention is always best, making it essential to use sun protection daily and remembering to reapply throughout the day. A professional chemical peel treatment will improve the skin tone, soften the skin, remove dead skin cells and take away brown spots.

Wrinkled skin

• Wrinkles are an obvious sign of growing older. The hands have very little fat, causing the skin to look paper-thin more quickly and giving the backs of the hands a crumpled look. Because they are often immersed in water, which contributes to dried out and wrinkling skin, the hands need more moisturising than the rest of the body. Professional laser treatments can promote collagen production, which will help plump up your skin.

Dry flaky skin

• Gentle exfoliation on flaky and dull hands can remove dead skin cells. With those dead cells gone, any moisturisers will be more easily absorbed. Exfoliating the skin with a professional microdermabrasion treatment will remove dead skin cells and your skin will feel softer and look brighter, and will also help to even out the skin tone.

Stained Nails

• If your hands are starting to look their age, you don't want to have discoloured nails as well. If you do have discoloured nails, as long as it's not because of a fungal infection, it's very likely a harmless side effect of wearing dark nail polish. Using a base coat application on your nails before applying your nail varnish should keep your nails looking better.

If you’re inclined to opt for a more invasive treatment, dermal fillers with hyaluronic acid can help to smooth out the wrinkles and fine lines on the hands, and return some of the plumpness which will improve the skin's quality.

Help Yourself To Achieve Beautiful Skin - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield Chesterfield

As we get older, our skin's collagen and elastin fibres diminish, and the body's hyaluronic acid reduces, causing the elastic in our skin to become rougher and dryer. We can't change some of the things that cause this; such as genetics and ageing, however, changes to our skin care routines and lifestyle can make a big difference, to help manage our skin problems.

Often we don't have enough time in the morning to carry out a thorough skin care routine, nor do we want to indulge in a long beauty routine before bedtime. All the same, as we age, we all want fabulous, healthy skin to help give us confidence to face the world each day, because although they say that beauty is only skin deep, we all know that really, skin care is also about what is on top of the skin as well as underneath it.

Cleanse thoroughly
It's important that you cleanse your skin, whether it's in the morning before you apply moisturiser or in the evening when you take off your make-up. Thoroughly removing old make-up or dirt is essential, as anything left on your face can clog up the pores if it's not taken off completely. Use a cleanser that suits your skin type; oily, dry or sensitive skin. Always wash your face in lukewarm water, as cold and hot water can cause spider veins.

Remember your neck
Most of us concentrate on our facial skin care routine, but we tend to forget about our neck. It's a big giveaway if you are showing an older neck with wrinkly crepe looking skin, but your face is looking youthful. When you are applying products to your face, make sure your skin care routine extends to your neck as well.

Lose your skin
It's important to exfoliate on a weekly basis in order for our skin to keep that youthful glow. It doesn't have to take much time out of our daily routine; a facial wash, cleanser on a wash cloth or a body scrub while you shower. Exfoliation removes the dead skin and boosts cell-turnover at all ages, but we should exfoliate more regularly as our skin ages.

Professional microdermabrasion 

No smoking
Smoking is one of the worst things you can do to your skin, and there are many reasons why smoking is bad for our skin, It speeds up the ageing process and causes wrinkles on the face and around the mouth and can give the skin a sallow tone. Inhaled smoke constricts your blood vessels and can deplete oxygen and essential nutrients that we need for healthy skin. It reduces collagen and elastin, which are responsible for keeping the skin soft and elastic.

Don't forget the basics of skin care

• Cleansing, moisturising, exfoliating and application of sunscreen.
• Use natural skin care products without added chemicals.
• Always remember to remove your make-up at night to avoid clogged pores.
• Don't touch your face unnecessarily.
• Water keeps your skin cells hydrated, glowing and free of acne. Drink plenty of water every day.
• Watch what you eat, as a healthy diet compliments a good skin care routine.
• Alcohol, smoking and drugs can do major damage to your health and your skin cells.
• Get enough sleep and don't stress yourself out. 
• Exercise, as this allows blood to circulate through your cells, deterring early ageing.

It doesn't take much to get and keep beautiful, healthy skin, it really isn't rocket science. If you follow a basic skin care routine, your skin will glow and look its best. Professional procedures such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion offer deeper treatments which translates into more impressive and lasting results.
