6. RELAX

Stress, lack of sleep and dehydration all show very quickly on the face. To stem the ageing process ensure you take time to relax, try and get eight hours of sleep and keep the skin hydrated with a good moisturizer and by drinking plenty of water.

7. SHOP CAREFULLY

When looking for products, price and packaging are not always indications that the product will be effective. Many designer and high street products have similar ingredients, but what sets the 'aesthetic grade' products apart is that they have a much higher percentage of active ingredients.

8. ASK THE EXPERTS

Don't be afraid to seek advice from a skincare professional. They will help prescribe the most effective products for your skin type and skin concerns, and help guide you to which ingredients to look out for and which products will be best suited to your skin type.

9. DON'T SMOKE

It's absolutely the worst thing you can do for your skin.

10. ADAPT

The needs of your skin change with the seasons, weather and age, so it is important to make allowances for this and to ensure that your skin is always protected, comfortable and catered to.
