Cost is not the decisive factor when it comes to anti-ageing products

SPF 30+ good quality sunscreen and a vitamin A based product will make you look less aged

10-Dec-2019

Key points from article :

Most anti-ageing products include a set of ingredients such as water, glycerine, vitamins, oils and acids.

More expensive products may include additional ingredients with alleged anti-ageing properties.

Skin experts say that such claims by manufacturers do not have scientific basis.

Although it may say "Clinically Proven", most of these clinical studies are not to be trusted.

Budget products can be equally as effective.

A minimum SPF 30, good-quality sunscreen and a vitamin-A-based product is all that is needed.

Spending more than 30 pounds on a product, it's probably unnecessary.
