Here are a further ten tips which can be carried out at any time of the day...

Now that spring is here and summer peeps over the horizon in the Northern Hemisphere, it is time to give your neck and face a spring clean!

It can be so tempting just to jump into bed at night without a thought as to taking some care of your precious skin.

But it is never too late to establish a better and consistent routine for looking after your skin.

If you can get into a good habit of ensuring a regular night time routine, you will reap the benefits for your skin when you wake up the next morning and beyond.

Our skin care can be different depending on whether it is day or night.

During the day, our skin is in protection mode and focused on counteracting the negative effects of environmental stressors, such as UV radiation and pollution.

At night, our skin cells work differently, helping to repair any damage that’s been done during the day.  Fortunately, we can tailor our skincare routine to better suit this dynamic.

One of the things we can start to notice on our skin as we grow older are age spots or dark spots - and the clue is in the name! 

They can start to appear especially over the age of fifty although they can be visible earlier when a lot of time is spent in the sun...

Whatever our age, we all want to continue to look as young as possible.

While our chronological age is measured in years, our biological age will reflect how old our body really is.  And this can be influenced by several factors:

• Our genes.
• Our lifestyle.
• Our environment.

As we grow older, this does not always have to mean feeling older or acting older!

The skin on our neck and chest is really delicate, with very little oil to provide natural hydration and protection and yet, so often we neglect this fragile area.

Instead, we tend to focus all our attention on our faces.

If you are anxious to quickly diminish those tell-tale signs of aging (that can so easily start to develop on the neck and décolletage), then, you're in the right place.

Varicose veins are those swollen and enlarged veins that usually occur on the legs and feet. They may be blue or dark purple, and are often lumpy, bulging or twisted in appearance.

There are other symptoms too.
