Forty is the time to get naughty but ageing can start as soon as you one enters into the late 20s and early 30s. Do not let ageing put barriers on your fun and enjoyment.

You should fight the signs of ageing as early as you spot dark circles, age spots, fine lines and wrinkles. The reason for ageing is slow formation of elastin   and collagen that keeps the skin firm. Smoking, regular drinking, excessive sun exposure, stressful lifestyle speeds up the ageing process.

One can delay the process by acting wise and a bit of care for your skin. Egg white is really useful in treating premature wrinkles. Start using it as a pack on face and neck for half an hour, as early as possible. Age spots that are mainly caused by sun’s ultraviolet rays, look vary ugly on the forehead, arms and hands. One can reduce these by using a good sunscreen with SPF 35. Do not forget to use it twenty minutes before stepping out in the sun. Re-apply after every half an hour to have best results. Lemon juice and honey can be used to lighten this blemishes and spots.

Dark circles around the eyes make you look dull and tired all the time. Use some good under eye cream before going to bed, and let it stay overnight. Always use the products that contain AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids). AHA is an organic acid that helps in keeping the acid alkaline balance of the skin right.

Eating right is also important to look young. Increase the intake of Vitamin A, C and E in your diet. All citrus fruits like orange, blueberry, lemon, strawberry, raspberry are beneficial.

Avoid sleeping on the stomach and using a pillow, as it causes wrinkles. If you are going for any anti-ageing treatments and surgeries, make sure it is done under an expert’s supervision.

It is rightly said, “time and tide, wait for none”, but by acting smart and taking steps way in advance, one can really delay, if not stop, the ageing process and have young, healthy looking skin.
