Gravity is a scientific fact.
So when did it become something so negative? I’m talking about ageing – and noticing gravity in all sorts of different ways! Gravity is only partly to blame, of course. The main reason is the loss of elastin and collagen in the skin which leads to sagging and a general loss of firmness. Sigh.
To me, it’s one of the most noticeable differences between my 30-something self and my 40-something self. I’m actually not too bothered with some lines on my face – in my case they’re mostly where I smile, so I figure why not show a life well lived? But the sagging? My nemesis!
Here’s what I’m doing to combat it. (Full disclosure for those who don’t know me yet, I’m not one to slice and dice myself or do anything violent with my face. Keep reading if you’re looking for science-based tips that don’t include plastic surgery.)
First and foremost, let’s talk about One Truth 818 serum. It’s a no-brainer that I use this twice a day. It’s easy to use and we know how effective TAM-818 is when it comes to restoring telomeres and undoing biological ageing. Did you also know that when using One Truth 818 the amount of elastin and collagen produced is so significant that independent doctors were able to measure and quantify it?
I take the title ‘Scientific Skincare’ very seriously, so here’s proof to back up my comments. This is what the doctors at Abich Laboratories discovered when testing One Truth 818 on 100 volunteers over 30 days:
- Elastin (elasticity) resulted in an improved average value equal to 4.83% after 15 days of product twice daily application, and by an average value equal to 8.33% after 30 days.
That’s why I never fail to use mine twice daily. It is proven, it works and it’s easy.
Personally, I’m not only fighting against ageing but some weight gain then loss while growing and having two children. I feel that the skin under my chin in particular needs a bit of extra help. My go-to professional facial for this purpose is micro-needling. I like the premise that you’re simply activating your own biological functions and then leaving your skin to produce its own fix-up tools. In that sense, it fits the same philosophy of One Truth 818 for me. And although it uses micro-needles (hence the name), the surface of the skin is not scraped, blasted or pelted off, which is a no-go in my book.
Internally, to help with the ‘plumpness’ and quality of my skin, I take a good quality marine collagen, omegas, and hormone balancers (in my case I break out without my iron and vitamin B) to keep my skin clear. Marine collagen and omegas can be good generic ones for most people.
I’m often asked what I do for the anti-ageing of my skin, so I hope you’ve found this helpful if you’re looking for some real-life advice from someone who tries to look their best. My skin has also been supported with treatments from Louise Gray, and her fabulous team at Louise Gray Skin Care, always ensuring that I am in good hands!
