There is much scientific research gathered to try and explain the aging process. We know that the right amount of good-quality sleep is crucial to building new growth hormones, and that practicing mindfulness helps to decrease our stress levels, and boost immunity, bringing down harmful cortisol levels. There is also prevailing evidence that telomeres (the caps at the end of each strand of our DNA) relate to how we age, as they have the ability to change, repair and renew. Even our thoughts can alter how our cells respond. Feeling happy and positive, therefore, plays a role in how we look, as well as how we feel.

The food we eat, the amount of exercise we do, and of course the right skincare, all contribute to how we look as we age. It is important to use products with actual ingredients that can be easily absorbed, and which function to help our skin heal, which is the very ethos of the Kat Burki Skincare brand.

We gathered a group of women who sparkle and shine, and clearly prove that we can all love life at any age. Ranging from 17-75 years old, we celebrate them in this stunning selection of portraits.
