ANTI-AGEING
ENEMY����A�SAGGING�DÉCOLLETAGE
A crêpey neck and décolletage
is a sure-fire way to expose
your true age. The skin
on the neck and chest has
fewer protective layers
than the face and is an area
that’s constantly moving and
supporting the head’s weight,
so it naturally betrays signs of
strain. Yet most of us neglect
it, failing to protect it from
UV rays or giving the area the
hydration it needs. But now
there are new ways to tackle it.
THE TREATMENT
Transderm A completely
non-invasive treatment using
a hand-held panel that emits
an electric pulse to encourage
THE TREATMENT
Restylane Vital Light A
super-quick treatment that
uses a topical anaesthetic
cream and small injections
of restylane (hyaluronic
acid which stimulates
collagen and elastin) to
plump up dry, withering
skin and even out skin
tone. Treatments start from
£450 at Fiona and Marie
����WWW�STYLIST�CO�UK
the skin’s pores to open
and allow a cocktail of
mesotherapy (antioxidant-rich
vitamins and amino acids) to
penetrate the skin’s layers.
This encourages collagen and
elastin production, giving
thirsty, tired skin the boost it
needs to rejuvenate and plump
out from within. Treatments
start at £480, from Dr Michael
Prager, 020-7323 3660;

ENEMY����VEINY�HANDS
Hands are an immediate
give-away of a woman’s true
age and they’re not helped
by being constantly exposed
to the perils of cold weather,
UV rays and the washing up.
So here are the products that
will keep them looking young.

THE PRODUCTS
X 1. Natura Bisse Tensolift
Hand Cream (£75) A hi-tech
cream with hyaluronic acid
and lipids to give the skin
back its smoothness.
Antioxidant botanical
extracts also lighten
pigmentation
spots brilliantly,
while the perennis
flower extract
strengthens the
skin’s defences,
banishing that
withered, wrinkly
appearance.
This rich formula strengthens
the skin overnight.
X 2. Lulu’s Time Bomb
(£32.30) Targets drooping
skin with chrysanthellum
extract – a small African
plant with gold petals that
stimulates the skin’s fat
molecules. It’s especially
effective on a wrinkly neck
needing hydration.
X 3. This Works: Perfect
Cleavage (£35) A natural
serum packed with larch
extract and yellow algae
which hydrates while its rose
oil helps repair damage to the
skin. Skin looked plump and
clear in three weeks.
Now that catwalk trends
are dictating bold, bushy
brows, over-plucking
(a primary cause of thinning
brows) is no longer the done
thing. Especially because
as we age, the brows become
naturally more sparse –
something that needs to
be addressed.
THE TREATMENT
Hair transplants Under a
local anaesthetic, incisions
are made along the brow line,
and hair follicles from the
head are then transplanted
on to the brow. It’s quite a
long process – four hours in
total – but it does leave you
with brows to be proud of.
X 2. Elemis Pro Collagen Hand
And Nail Cream (£29) Packed
with anti-oxidants from rich
marine algae extracts, aloe
vera and linden flower oil. Skin
looks instantly plumped out.
X 3. Sanctuary Anti-Ageing
Intensive Hand Mask (£9.99)
You apply the super enriching
pumpkin and rice proteinpacked
mask to your hands
before popping
them into a pair
of gloves to get
the ingredients
penetrating
right into the
skin. Hands look
younger in just
four weeks.

DEHYDRATED MITTS

brows are
thickened to

oils to boost
circulation to encourage hair
growth in just 21 days.
GO EASY WITH THE
TWEEZERS: SPARSE
BROWS ARE AGEING
X 3. Marini Lash (£99)
This was originally designed
for lashes, but recent
research found that its
punchy peptide, combined
with other protein ingredients,
produces a great effect on
the brows as well.
