How To Anti-Age Your Brain

The youth-boosting beauty market is big news, and by 2024 it’s estimated to gross over US$271 billion globally thanks to its never-ending flow of serums, masks and oils that promise to do everything from iron out fine lines to diminish the appearance of age spots. But while you’re smothering your face in an expensive wonder cream, spare a thought for our other big wrinkle – that’s right, our brain.

We show you how you can nourish your noggin and even turn back the clock.
