Showing off better skin
As yet another year draws to an end, turn back the clock with treatments tried and tested to nip lines, droopiness and age spots in the bud.
DIMINISHING the signs of age is big business. In 2014, Botox, the neurotoxin most popularly known for improving the appearance of lines, chalked up more than US$2 billion in sales, up from just under US$3 million in 2001. Not only that, the market for anti-ageing products and services has grown into a global industry valued at an estimated US$261.9 billion in 2013, according to research company BCC Research.
If taking in these staggering numbers has induced a new frown line, fret not. You don't have to come up with a witty comeback at insinuations about your age like Barack Obama, who was asked a question about growing older during a town hall meeting with students in Kuala Lumpur recently.
Go for the latest facials that meld the art of massage with the science of efficacious skincare. While it will not eradicate those stubborn crow's feet, a good, manual massage could lift the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and increase radiance for a more youthful-looking mien.
