What can I do to slow the signs of wrinkles?

Lifestyle can play a huge role in how soon you develop signs of ageing and skin damage. We have listed our top tips below:

Protect from the sun

Sun damage is one of the major causes of premature ageing so if you are going on holiday bring sunblock! Repeated exposure to damaging sun rays damages your natural production of collagen which will lead to an older looking appearance. This can also lead to increased pigmentation. UVA rays penetrate deep into your skin which can leave you with scaly wrinkled and leathery skin.  It is also vital to protect yourself to reduce the risk of skin cancer so make sure you always wear sun protection.

Quit smoking

We know many people will ignore this and we certainly claim to have no vices at Laserpod but if you are concerned about the signs of ageing you really should consider quitting or at least cutting down the smoking. Smoking can lead to a reduced blood supply to the skin and also a puckering wrinkled effect around your mouth.

Eat a Balanced Diet

Sadly sugar is not only bad for fitting into our favourite jeans it is also an enemy to our skin. Research shows that consumption of sugar can create harmful molecules which accelerate the appearance of ageing. Limiting sugar and processed foods will slow this effect. To have healthy glowing skin it is important to try and eat a balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetable.
