We all age, which is something that is inevitable. However, you may wonder why some people seem to age better than others. While genetics does play a role in how our bodies age, there are many things that we can do on a daily basis to preserve our youthful looks. Try following these simple anti aging tips:
Use A Night Cream
Cover your face every night with a retinoid cream containing vitamin A to fight wrinkles, stimulate collagen and stop acne.
Wear sunscreen daily.
Wearing sunblock every day is very important, since sun damage can cause premature aging of your skin. Use a sunscreen that contains zinc oxide and has an SPF of at least 30.
Try A Sonic Cleaning Brush
Sonic cleaning brushes remove dead skin cells from your face, which helps to prevent clogged pores and breakouts and also allows your products to penetrate the skin better.
Hydrate Your Skin
Long-term skin dryness can lead to premature aging. Keep your skin hydrated and nourished by drinking lots of water, eating the rights foods such as fatty fish, and using products with good moisturizing ingredients. You can also try using a hydrating mask to give your skin an extra moisture boost.
Watch How You Sleep
Everyone needs their beauty rest, but sleeping in the wrong position can actually cause you to develop wrinkles. Lines can form on your face when you compress it against your pillow every night, so try sleeping on your back instead.
Use The Right Supplements
Certain antioxidants, such as resveratrol, have great anti-aging properties because they prevent the breakdown of elastin and collagen in your skin over time. This can help to firm up loose skin around the neck and under your chin, so when shopping for skin care products look for antioxidant ingredients. Products like Live Cell Research LA-3 are also helpful.
Pay Attention To Skin Tone
When we are young, our skin tone tends to be smooth and even, but as we age, it can become uneven and dull due to dark spots or acne scars. To even out your skin tone and lighten its texture, search for skin care products that contain vitamin C, which is excellent for fading out brown aging spots.
Tighten Your Skin
As we age the skin around the neck can become loose and sag. However, you don’t need to have expensive neck-lift surgery to fix this. To tighten any slack skin around your neck look for skin care products that contains peptides. Peptides can help to stimulate elastin and collagen synthesis in your skin. You can also try using products that contain hyaluronic acid, which can boosts moisture in your skin and plump up any age lines.
Watch Your Salt Intake
Certain foods, such as salty snacks and alcohol, may make your body increase water intake. This can cause bags under your eyes, so be careful that you are not consuming too many foods that may lead to inflammation. If you do develop under eye bags, the old cucumber trick works fine.
