We all think about aging at some stage. I personally think that age is just a number. The age we reflect to others is made up by how we act, dress and look. We will all get older that’s inevitable, but we can look after ourselves and be the best individual we can be.

Looking after our skin should be a top priority

Our face is quite often the first place we start showing the signs of aging. Fine lines and wrinkles may creep in, but if we look after our skin we can prevent and repair these.

I am a great believer in looking after your skin. Every morning and night I have a regime for my skin. You don’t always need the most expensive skincare. I personally think that being consistent with good products is just as important.For years now I have used the Pure Fiji Facial Skincare range. I like it because it's affordable and has great results. My favourite product is the Dilo Oil!

We have our chronological age which is the number of years a person has been alive, while biological age refers to how old a person seems. Biological age, also referred to as physiological age, takes many lifestyle factors into consideration, including diet, exercise and sleeping habits, to name a few as well as many of the points I have listed above. Age is just a number. If you don’t take time to look after yourself, no one else will.

Age is just a number, look after yourself and enjoy life!
