Wrinkles and sagging skin may be inevitable effects of age, but they don’t need to be permanent. Lifestyle modifications such as eating a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, not smoking and wearing sunscreen can all help reverse skin aging naturally.
Sun exposure can lead to irreparable skin damage. Wearing broad spectrum sunscreen daily can protect from UV rays and slow the aging process.
2. Drink plenty of water
Hydration is essential to healthy skin, and drinking plenty of water can help slow the aging process. Studies have revealed that people who drink lots of water tend to have fewer wrinkles. Be sure to drink both mineral water and plain tap water, and avoid dehydrating substances such as caffeinated beverages and alcohol that dehydrate. Applying moisturizer regularly can also keep skin hydrated.
Proper hydration can make your skin appear plumper and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
6. Exfoliate regularly
Exfoliation is the practice of gently exfoliating away dead skin cells that accumulate over time and dull your complexion, improving circulation, reducing pore size, and avoiding clogged skin. You can do this either with physical exfoliants such as scrubs and loofahs or chemical exfoliants like alpha/beta hydroxy acids/retinoids.
Exfoliation should be part of your regular skincare routine, but you must also be wary not to over-exfoliate. Overexfoliation will leave skin reddening and flaking; for maximum effectiveness it’s best to stick with a regular schedule that lets your body dictate when its time for exfoliation.
Exfoliating the body is different than exfoliating the face and requires more of a gentle approach. A good guideline for exfoliation is once or twice every week with moisturizer used afterward to maintain skin health and avoid exfoliating any cuts or sores that might form on it.
7. Moisturize daily
Moisturizing daily is key for younger, healthier looking skin. Daily exposure to sun, wind and harsh cleansers can strip away natural oils that lubricate our complexions; moisturizing restores these vital hydrators while protecting from dryness, irritation and flaking. Choose a fragrance-free moisturizer with glycerin or hyaluronic acid content for best results; these ingredients also support your natural barrier that keeps moisture inside while keeping harmful irritants out. We suggest moisturizing twice daily for comprehensive protection!
8. Wear sunscreen
Sunlight can cause skin damage that leads to wrinkles, dark spots and sagging skin, so wearing sunscreen every day is crucial to slowing or halting its effects on aging processes. A broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen should be used every day. In addition, wearing protective headgear and sunglasses to shield yourself from harmful rays should also help. Finally, avoid tanning beds as their UV rays accelerate skin aging further.
Applying moisturizer regularly is key to maintaining hydrated and soft skin. Aim for non-greasy, fragrance-free moisturizers with ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid for best results.
9. Don’t stress
Stress has been shown to accelerate the aging process. This is caused by various factors, including increased release of pro-inflammatory chemicals known as cytokines that release into the bloodstream and cause inflammation on skin surfaces, leading to premature wrinkles and appearing older than it actually is. Ample rest and healthy eating practices are key elements in combatting stress; in addition, digestive enzymes may help promote healthier digestion by clearing away trapped toxins in intestines preventing them from entering bloodstream and leading to inflammation; finally it’s essential that smoking and alcohol consumption should also be avoided as this further accelerates ageing processes.
