We often think of ageing in terms of what we can do aesthetically — we might do the odd bit of needlework, pop on an LED mask before bed, or slather skin with the latest retinol-infused moisturiser. These topical techniques might help to perk up self-confidence, and provide short-term effects, but diving deep to find out what’s going on inside your body is a better indication of whether or not you’ll look good as you age, and if you’ll live long enough to see out your 90th birthday.
When you feel good on the inside, it naturally shows on the outside and a process called glycation is intrinsically linked to ageing - it’s a buzzword that scientists are constantly researching. Glycation is actually a natural biological process that takes place within the body from the moment you are born and carries on throughout life.
