of not having a long term plan to
combat the ravages of sun, heat
and light.’
Vita believes simplicity is the key
to success when it comes to skincare.
‘Invest in yourself and lift your skin
to new heights by developing good
habits, particularly after summer,’ she
says. ‘What you actually use on your
skin on a daily basis will pay off and
deliver results. A gentle, consistent
effort in the long run is proven to be
more effective than overkill.’
She also recommends using skin
actives that work on a cellular level
to strengthen and calm the skin’s
immune system.
‘We are defi nitely a nation guilty
of overdoing our cleansing and
exfoliating,’ she states. ‘I encourage
my clients to break old habits
and create new ones; to follow
professional advice regarding the
right skincare to minimise and repair
damage and maximise results.’
And, while recognising the
importance of sun protection in any
skincare plan, Vita stresses that we
cannot reduce our anti-ageing regimes
to just sunscreen.
‘I always advise my clients to revisit
the old notion that sunscreen alone
is enough to prevent and repair sun
damage – it’s not! Antioxidants in
skincare are essential, especially as
you age. Vitamins A, C, E and B3
(niacinamide) boost skin immunity,
reduce sensitivity and protect against
solar damage,’ she says.
‘Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural
component of the skin that seals in
moisture and makes the complexion
appear more hydrated,’ she continues.
‘As skin is damaged by the sun, HA
decreases and the skin loses the
ability to retain water. Concentrated
HA restores lost volume. Vitamin A
has also been proven to soften lines
because it thickens and rejuvenates
the skin and stimulates skin cells to
make healthy collagen and boost
natural moisturising factors.’
Ultimately, the fate of your skin is
in your hands as Vita explains, ‘It’s
all up to the individual to achieve
and maintain a youthful look by
incorporating a selection of antiageing
products into the regular daily
beauty routine.’
