Reversing the age clock

Over the years, as the concept of Mother’s Day has become a part of our urban culture, the idea of gifting too has evolved. From a token, the gifting culture has evolved into bringing gifts that will add value to the lives. A number of people are coming with out of the box ideas of gifting these days.

So, if you are one of those who have been wondering what to gift your mother or any other mother around you, why not think of presenting their yesteryears to them. Running from pillar to post, mothers sacrifice their time and energy to shape our lives. Amidst, they ignore they tend to ignore their beauty and age.

This Mother’s Day, make the day special by helping them reverse the age clock. Below suggestions can turn out to be a good option:

Cosmetic procedures: If there is one thing a woman would always love, it is a gift that would add to her beauty. More so, if it redefines the way she looks. Modern day non-invasive cosmetic procedures can really turnaround the way you look.

So, if a woman has hollowing cheeks or thinning lips, a session with hyaluronic acid based dermal fillers like Juvederm can do wonders for her and fill up her face once again.

A Botox session, on the other hand, will take away the wrinkles from the forehead and around the eyes and neck rejuvenation with Botox. Most 40 plus women look fabulous with some Botox on the platysmal bands on the neck.

A gym membership: Exercise is believed to be best anti-ageing agents. Although, mothers sweat it out a lot by running after us, a disciplined regime of exercise would not only help live young but would also make them healthy.

Entwined with ten different chores of work, she hardly thinks of her own health and beauty. Exercising not only enhances the external beauty but also woks to improve inner beauty by improving the health.

Regular exercise keeps the body active and prevents wear and tear of muscles, helping to keep ageing at bay. Give you mother a push this time. While she might keep postponing her enrolment at a gym, gift her membership.

Facial rejuvenation treatments: Spending days, months and years thinking about your wellness, your mother unknowingly has grown skin that is dull and lacks sheen. This is because of the dead cells are clouding her surface.

Some good exfoliating treatments like microdermabrasion and chemical peels can remove the dead layer and bring her back the youthful glow. Diamond Polishing is another technique in which the skin is polished with diamonds fixed on tips that electronically move on the skin.

This is useful in removing dead cells, scars, tanning and overall improves glow and complexion of the skin. These popular treatments today help skin exfoliate its dead cell layer and regenerate a new layer of fresh skin in its place. The fresh layer of skin that comes up is smoother, without blemishes and younger. (The writer is cosmetologist skin specialist)
