Our business is to help women feel and look their best, whatever their age, to be happy in ‘the skin they’re in’. Protecting and enhancing the skin requires a programme, rather than a one-off treatment or miracle product. To achieve the very best results, we need to combine treatments, products, diet and healthy lifestyle choices.

First up, we address the issue of collagen, a natural protein found in the body that connects and supports the body’s tissues. As we age it diminishes, causing the skin to lose elasticity, appear saggy and wrinkled. Fear not! Collagen can be protected, repaired and stimulated. Here’s how…

Some warnings!
The usual warnings apply. Smoking is the co-conspirator of ageing, and how much fun is it standing on the pavement anyway? Use an SPF to protect against the damaging effects of the sun and pollutants. These, along with hormonal fluctuations, can cause the collagen to tear and become damaged.

Products
Applying collagen to the skin topically doesn’t work, as it can’t make its way below the outer layer. The best choices are those products containing anti-ageing properties that boost collagen, including retinoids, copper peptides and vitamin C. Amino Acids and Growth Factors, as contained in our top-selling YOUTH food supplement, are known to strengthen and stimulate the production of collagen.

Laser Treatments
These are known to create collagen, resulting in tighter, smoother and firmer skin. The important thing to remember is that the results are only temporary, lasting perhaps a few months, as the skin continues to age. So you need to keep topping up to maintain that more youthful look.

Dr. Sister’s Dracula Treatment
A revolutionary skin treatment, the Doctor uses your own blood to create a supercharged serum containing vitamins and amino acids that is then injected back into your face. It plumps the skin, restores radiance and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles.

Injectables
These days injectables stimulate collagen production rather than just simply ‘filling’. By supporting the underlying skin structure and boosting collagen they provide a fuller more youthful appearance.

Diet
What you put on the inside reflects on the outside - beauty develops from the inside out. Give simple carbohydrates, sugar and processed foods the swerve. Load up on omega-3-rich foods, and plenty of dark greens and dark berries.
