7 Simple Tricks to Prevent Ageing in Your 20s

Stop right now, thank you very much.

If you’ve hit that brutal point in your life where you’re actually noticing your age, I have two things to say to you: welcome to adulthood, and let’s get down to business.

Gone are the days where you could drink a whole bottle of wine (or two), watch the sun rise, then fall asleep with a full-face of makeup and wake-up with nothing but a bit of smudged mascara to worry about. Instead, you’ll most likely find sexy congested cheeks, dark hollows under your eyes and enlarged pores gasping for some H20.

It’s tough, I know. I’m living in it right now, too. But what I’ve quickly learned is that a little effort goes a LONG way.

Prevention is the cure (and it’s as easy as eye mask n’ chill) – so try these simple tricks to keep your skin sparkling through your 20s and beyond.

DRINK UP (water, we mean).... Up your intake of filtered H2O and watch your skin thank you for it. 8 glasses a day is mandatory, but the more the merrier, we say.
