Any woman can take steps towards looking younger, no matter what your age or lifestyle.It can be as simple as changing your diet, changing elements of your lifestyle, replacing your moisturiser, or, as increasing numbers of women are choosing to do, undergo cosmetic surgery.

1. To protect you from ageing UVA and UVB rays use a high protection sunscreen daily. Using it on a daily basis you can prevent the emergence of age spots and fine lines. Try Biotec’s Olive Tree Leaves moisturiser SPF 15 Global Shield Green Tea and for both sun and anti-oxidant protection.

2. Reduce oxidative stress by reducing your exposure to tobacco, pollution and stress. By increasing your intake of anti-oxidant-rich foods such as citrus fruits, blueberries, blackberries and broccoli, you can also improve your body’s resilience.

3. Lessen your intake of fatty foods, simple carbohydrates, processed foods and refined products.

4. Drink two litres of water every day because as you get older your body becomes more easily dehydrated and the more visible your wrinkles become.

5. Get your teeth whitened. Maintain their whiteness by limiting your intake of black tea, coffee, softdrinks and even dark coloured fruit drinks.

6. Select a moisturiser or anti-ageing serum to suit your skin needs. Look for products that contain Alpha-hydroxy acids, Vitamin A, Retinoids, Vitamin C and Antioxidants.

7. By applying a lightening serum to your skin twice a day, reduce the appearance of sunspots and hyper-pigmentation.

8. Try Botox or Juvaderm fillers to address wrinkles and fine lines. By reducing the activity of the tiny, dynamic muscles that form lines Botox works as a relaxant. Juvaderm fillers act by filling in and smoothing way lines.

9. With specialist hair loss treatments regain the hair of your youth. Their surgeons who are specialists will work with you to create a natural looking appearance that will have you looking younger and feeling more confident.

10. Consult a specialist about plastic surgery. There is no way to stop ageing for all the preventative measures you can take. Whilst diet and lifestyle are contributing factors in how well we age, face shape, body shape and genetics also play a large part. A part we have no control over, but which can be managed with the help of cosmetic surgery.
