beauty treatments
completely mistyped before, sorry!
This is a slogan for beauty treatments. The meaning is clear, but can anyone think of an eloquent equivalent in English?
TIA

I think that you are the cranky one. Mine was just a neutral comment like yours so in my mind no harm done. Hard day at the office I presume!!

: I like this - perhaps in the imperative though ("take years off your skin" etc.)//Yes, whether 3rd person or imperative of course depends on exact context.

more life to your time - just as important as more time to your life
another idea

beauty does not equal the number of years lived, but the life expressed in one's years
the more you live life to the fullest the more beautiful you are no matter how old you are

it's about living younger, not living longer
this formulation should avoid the "I hope you die soon" potential pitfall noted by Cynthia; "living younger" looks a fairly well-used (but not hackneyed) phrase on Google in the anti-ageing context

don't grow older, grow younger (N.B. pls read below:)
I'm not sure if this would be in breach of copyright:

I believe that this Italian slogan is actually about lifestyle (exercise and sport as well as a range of health products)
"Lo sport non aggiunge anni alla vita, ma aggiunge vita agli anni". "Dare piu' vita agli anni, per avere piu' anni dalla vita". Insomma il piacere di fare sport, per sentirsi meglio. Ma non e', forse, quello che gia' sosteneva un vecchio aforisma latino?S Ubi motus, ibi vita.

Yes! Great! :-) You should post this as your own answer! P.S. Though, come to think of it, isn't the whole point NOT to grow 'older'?
