Contest to help quitting smoker look ‘10 Years Younger’ as Britain goes ciggie free

A cosmetic treatment specialist is offering long-term smokers wanting to kick the habit the chance to win a ‘10 Years Younger’ make-over worth £5,000.

The idea was sparked by the new government regulations, banning smoking from all public places from July 1, together with the success of the ‘10 Years Younger’ show on Channel 4.

Stourbridge-based Tinkable Ltd is joining forces with its associate salons in Hereford and Kenilworth, and other local businesses, to deliver a once in a lifetime prize package that could transform the winner’s life.

Wrinkle-filling injections and a skin peel, a hair and make-up makeover, teeth whitening and a personal stylist and new outfit is all included – and the results will be recorded in a professional photo shoot.

David Kelly, MD of Tinkable said: “Smoking over a long period of time can ravage someone’s looks, with discoloured teeth, deep set wrinkles and sallow-looking skin.

“We want to support the government’s anti-smoking campaign and help someone make a permanent change in their lives by offering this make-over.

“The treatments will take around six weeks to complete, but once they see the results, we hope it will give them that extra incentive to steer clear of the ciggies for good.”

To be in with a chance of scooping the make-over, simply send your name, age, address and telephone number, along with a head and shoulders photograph of yourself and 100 words about why you deserve to win, to Tinkable Ltd, 1st Floor, 130 High Street, Stourbridge, West Midlands, DY8 1DT.

The closing date for entries is Friday, July 6 and the winner will be notified by Friday, July 13.
