Question*
I have used a sun bed for as long as I can remember. I am approaching 50 and my skin looks worse than my sister’s, and she is ten years older than me. Please could you suggest how I can rectify years of sun worshipping?

Answer
It was Coco Chanel who made the tan so popular, and who can blame her – it does look good but there is a high price to pay. There are many instant tans to choose from these days – spray-ons or creamy, at home applications.
Generally sun damage on the face shows up as excess mottling and uneven skin tone accompanied by fine lines, deep wrinkles and loose, lax skin.
I would recommend a course of microdermabrasion treatments to improve the texture and tone and a course of IPL to even out the pigmentation and mottling. It is guaranteed to take years off, and is also great for tightening up the loose skin.
