Ageing doesn’t have to come hand-in-hand with wrinkles! In fact, in today’s world, looking – and feeling – young is easier than ever. While our Derby skin clinic has some great treatments up our sleeve to help give you that youthful glow, we’re also sharing some of our top tips for shrinking wrinkles in this month’s article (with part 2 coming soon). Read on to find out more…

1) Invest in dermal fillers

It goes without saying that facial aesthetics have the power to enhance and improve your appearance – and with long-term, but non-permanent results, it’s no wonder they’re so popular (and they’re much less invasive than surgery, too). Dermal fillers can target lots of different areas of your face, from softening lines around your mouth, to plumping hollow cheeks, to lifting the eyes by filling the tear troughs.

2) Embrace lip fillers

A type of dermal filler, lip fillers are specifically for use in and around the mouth. There’s surprisingly a great deal we can do to your lips, from shaping and defining, to targeting lines, to boosting volume. Lips thin with age, so plumping them with lip fillers can help make you look younger, too.

3) Use sun protection

The sun is one of the leading causes of wrinkles, so avoid it at its hottest and ensure you wear a daily suncreen or SPF make-up. Existing wrinkles can be made worse by time spent in the sun, too.

4) Quit smoking

Smoking ages you as it breaks down the two key proteins, collagen and elastin, that keep skin looking supple. Stopping smoking prevents this happening – and your skin could get some of its bounce back. 

5) Check your diet

Eating more omega-3 sources (such as oily fish, like salmon) feeds your skin and keeps it looking young, while soy has been found to improve the skin’s firmness within months. Cocoa is also a key ingredient as it can improve circulation to skin cells for a smoother appearance. And, of course, a variety of fruits and vegetables feed the skin with antioxidants, prolonging skin radiance.
