With consumer magazine, Which?, reporting that tests conducted reveal that two SPF30 suntan lotions from leading manufacturers, Boots and Hawaiian Tropical, fail to deliver the level of protection stated we ask does sunblock prevent premature ageing and what other anti-ageing options are available to you.
Sunblock helps anti-ageing
We all want to look our best and maintain a youthful appearance for as long as possible. Studies have shown that for people under the age of 55, applying sunscreen on a daily basis can reduce the signs of premature ageing such as wrinkles and fine lines by up to 24%.
Strive for a healthy, happy lifestyle
It will not come as any surprise to hear that a healthy lifestyle helps anti-ageing. Eating plenty of fruit & veg and keeping your body hydrated are essential in fighting off signs of premature ageing. Excessive alcohol consumption and smoking are both well know for making you look older than you really are so if you enjoy a drink (and most of us do!) always drink to moderation and avoid smoking at all costs.
Strive for happiness in your life. Stress can cause physical damage to the body so filling your life with happiness can actually do your body good.

Apivita is a brand I absolutely love. Everything I’ve tried from them so far has impressed me, and their Natural Serum Hydration is another one to add to that list. I was looking for a new serum when I first came across this. I often have dry skin, especially in the colder months, so I was looking…

Soap & Glory are one of my favourite brands. For years now I’ve been browsing the range in Boots, and trying out several of their prodcuts. I don’t know if its the cute pink packaging or the scent, but I just love Soap & Glory. A couple of months back I wrote about my love…
Nail foils are something I’ve been wanting to try for absolutely ages so when I saw they were in my She Said Beauty Box, I was super excited. Nail foils have always intrigued me, I’ve never quite got my head around how to use them. They always looked a bit fiddily and difficult to apply, and I was…
Technically as it’s the end of August, it’s not really summer anymore. I say technically because I’ve still got a wardrobe of summer clothes I haven’t touched this year, and I’m pretty sure there’s only been about 4 days where it’s been hot. Regardless of it not being that warm, I’ve still been wearing a…
Recently I’ve been feeling a little ‘blue’. I’m missing a lot of my uni life, the friends I made there, my boyfriend, and the general freedom of uni life away from home. If any of you follow me on Twitter you probably know this. For that reason I decided to mix two of my nail…
