FINNIES THE JEWELLER
TIMELESS
BEAUTIFUL JEWELLERY WILL SHOW OFF YOUR FACE TO BEST ADVANTAGE, SO IT MAKES SENSE TO SPEND A BIT OF TIME LOOKING AFTER YOUR FACE AND NECK, SO THAT SKIN GLOWS WITH HEALTH AND VITALITY, AND NOT JUST FROM THE REFLECTED LUSTRE OF YOUR CHOSEN PIECES. AWARD-WINNING BEAUTY WRITER ALICE HART-DAVIS SHARES HER EXPERIENCE ON HOW YOU CAN REALLY MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Beauty before age
Ihave spent almost 20 years writing about beauty, and along the way I have gleaned a few ideas about how to improve the look of your skin. You may be relieved to know that you don’t have to go as far as injectable treatments in order to make a real difference.
One thing that has changed over the years is what we want from our faces. A decade ago, beauty treatments and products were aggressively focused on anti-ageing, with promises to make us look 10 years younger in as short a time as possible. Now, with plenty of feisty baby-boomers declaring that 60 is the new 40, we’re not so ‘anti’ ageing, though, heck, we still want to look good. The present beauty-mood is not so much about turning back the clock as looking the best version of ourselves, looking youthful rather than young.
If that sounds like a good idea to you, then these are the things worth considering.
The first is decent skincare, to make your skin look plumped up, glowy and smooth, even if it is on the ‘mature’ side. Rather than the old mantra of ‘cleanse, tone and moisturise’, think more about exfoliating, hydrating and protecting your skin.
