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.

Recently in one of my Sunday Post’s I briefly mentioned the Naked Style Little Miracle Leave In Conditioner* (what a mouthful!). Recently I’ve been reaching for this product every day so I thought it deserved a blog post of its very own. Around a year a go I discovered leave-in conditioners, and since then I’ve tried a…
If you’d asked me what my favourite blusher has been recently, I’d tell you Natural Collection’s Peach Melba is the only thing I’ve been wearing on my cheeks for the past year. Honestly it was all I wanted from a blusher, I thought I’d never try out another one again. Then one day on a…
I’ve posted many times before about my hair, and about the bad condition I find it in. After years of dying it, and using heat on it, there are times where I find split ends, my hair feeling dry, and looking a little worse for wear. I’ve used many hair products over the years to…
For years I’ve been using a lady shaver to shave my legs, mostly because I’m completely terrified of cutting myself with a razor. One time when I was 12 I tried to shave my legs with a razor and managed to cut myself, there was blood everywhere. Oh god it was terrible. So since then…
After last months She Said Beauty Box, I was really excited to receive my next box. And being the impatient person I am, waiting for it feels like forever. And instead of shipping it out the last week of August, the boxes weren’t sent to us until the first week of September. Making waiting an extra week…
Clinique is a brand I’ve been aware of for as long as I can remember. It’s the one and only brand of makeup and skincare my mum uses (she’s not quite a beauty addict like me), and some I’ve grown up seeing the Clinique brand. Despite growing up with it there wasn’t many products I’d…
