Lover of all things beauty? There’s no denying that a good skincare base is the perfect way to keep your makeup looking fresh and glowy as well as lasting all day!
With skincare becoming such a huge part of our beauty routine, why not keep ahead of the game and stay up to date on what you should be using on your face!
We caught up with beauty expert Neelu White, who gave us her top tips on getting the perfect skincare routine down to a tee.
This time we’re tackling the main anti-ageing myths!
“Anti-ageing is more about lifestyle – taking a break from screens and stress. Getting sleep and rest,” Neelu says.
“It’s also in your diet: also some people believe you don’t need sunscreen in winter or on a cloudy day. UVA is present all year-round and passes through clouds (and glass!)
“It drives collagen and elastin breakdown, plus it triggers hyper-pigmentation. So, we need protection 365 days a year. Some people also believe that the rate we age is dependant on our genes.
“Although they do play a role in ageing, the fact is that our behaviour has a far greater influence, given that as much as 90% of ageing is due to extrinsic factors such as sun, smoking and pollution.”
