I'm 40 this year, and really want to give my skin the best chance of looking fresh and glowing on my big day. Is there a routine I could follow with ingredients that could help with sun damage and fine lines around my eyes?
Charlotte Vøhtz, organic beauty expert and founder of Green People says: Congratulations on your upcoming wedding — how exciting! Here's a simple and effective skincare routine to help your skin look radiant, fresh, and youthful on your big day, especially if you're focusing on sun damage and fine lines around the eyes. Use a gentle but powerful retinal serum like Green People's Age Defy+ Retinal Booster Serum (£20, 10ml) at night. Retinal boosts cell turnover, reduces fine lines, and evens out pigmentation. It's also packed with hyaluronic acid for deep hydration and a glowing morning complexion.
Protect your skin every day with a broad-spectrum SPF, even when it's cloudy. Try Age Defy+ Daily SPF30 Moisturiser (£18, 10ml) — it's made for mature skin, hydrates with rosehip and Everlasting Youth Tree, and helps prevent further sun damage.
For fine lines around the eyes and lips, apply Age Defy+ Line Erase (£30.50, 10ml). It firms and smooths skin visibly (even in 15 minutes!) thanks to plant stem cells, making you look refreshed and radiant.
Follow this routine and you'll be well on your way to fresh, glowing skin in time for your wedding day — and beyond! Products and information available at greenpeople.co.uk
