Go green with envy everytime you see a girl walk down the street with glowing skin? We tackle six serious skin problems to get you the skin you've always dreamed of. 



Skin Stress 1: Fine lines
Okay, you knew it was going to happen. But you're still never really prepared for the first time you see a line staring back at you in the mirror. You just feel too young to start looking, well, old. In this country, premature ageing is a very common skin problem. "The main reason for skin to age is the ultra violet rays of the sun - what we call photo-ageing," explains Dr Colin D'Silva, principal scientist in a beauty care division. "The age at which women notice lines and wrinkles varies from country to country. Here, women are exposed to a lot of UV, so they might start to see fine lines and wrinkles earlier.”

So apart from the obvious sunscreen, what else should you start adding into your skincare repertoire? With anti-ageing the biggest boom area in the beauty world, there's a head-spinning number of options out there, but one of the latest buzzwords is peptides. 

The way skincare's version of peptides work is that they absorb and penetrate deeply enough to signal cells to pep back up collagen and elastin production. A lotion or cream needs to be formulated in a way that ensures the best delivery system.
