With competition frantic for sales in the beauty industry, marketing departments of major beauty brands are busy vying for your dollar, and are lately even promising to deliver the ‘anti-ageing’ effects of stem cells in a convenient take-home bottle.

Though that’s not to say you simply have to accept the ever incresing number of lines on your face as the years accumulate. Taking good care of your skin, and using a few of these simple techniques to slow down the effects of ageing will let your natural beauty shine through, whatever your number.
There are plenty of things to be anti. Anti-discrimination, anti-oppression, anti-drugs, anti-poverty.. But ageing isn’t one of them.
