Women striving to look younger have a vast array of options at their disposal, ranging from hair extensions and makeup to more intensive cosmetic treatments, gone are the days of simply ageing gracefully.

Some fashion gurus swear by a wardrobe overhaul to shave off a perceived 10 years, while health buffs tout the benefits of a balanced diet for keeping that youthful glow.

For those who are keen on having skin that radiates vitality and youth, skincare is essential to get rights.

Beauty hub Dermstore has put together some top tips for those looking to turn back the hands of time in no time flat.

Their advice comes courtesy of health and wellness guru Carina Wolff in a feature titled “How to Look 10 Years Younger, Instantly”.

She recommends: “For tighter, glowing skin, put on a hydrating mask for 10 minutes.”

Her guidance includes insights from seasoned celebrity esthetician Angela Caglia, who’s been shaping faces for 28 years.

Angela delves into the potent effects of such products, stating: “The nourishing, hydrating ingredients plump your skin to make it appear more dewy and youthful with the appearance of fine lines reduced.”

Dermstore endorses the Peter Thomas Roth Blue Marine Algae Intense Hydrating Mask as a go-to product for younger-looking skin.

Furthermore, Dermstore proudly offers the SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Mask, boasting its prowess as “a deeply hydrating mask for thirsty, stressed skin”.

Cult Beauty agreed, recommending: “If you have dry or sensitive skin, supplementing your existing ritual with hydrating face masks can be game-changing.”

Dermstore experts insist that the steps you take after a hydrating mask are crucial for achieving a more youthful appearance.

Carina highlighted: “Not all foundations are created equal, and to best downplay those pesky fine lines and wrinkles, you’ll want to choose a light-reflecting, lightweight, and luminous foundation.”

Makeup guru Kate Stromberg recommended steering clear of pressed powders or heavy makeup, which can accentuate wrinkles by settling into them.

The specialists suggest opting for a silicone-based, medium-coverage liquid foundation to “create the illusion of a glowing complexion”. 

For a subtler enhancement, a tinted moisturiser infused with shimmering particles could do the trick.

Endorsing a specific product, Dermstore points makeup lovers towards the Kevyn Aucoin The Etherealist Skin Illuminating Foundation. Alternatively, the Clinique Even Better Glow light-reflecting foundation gives a similar finish.
