To go against the natural law of ageing as years add up is the new black for every woman. This is proven by the hundreds of products that are available in stores which promise to turn back the hands of time on its users. Sadly, not all of these products give expected results because most of the results fade away over time.
Skin ageing has been proven to be caused by many things, but only 20-30% of the process is genetically determined. So, in this battle to turn back the hands of time on our skin, there are many more ways that we can control ageing than we might have thought. If you long for healthy younger looking skin that stays, check out these tips.
1. Stay hydrated: This stands as the most important of all the anti-ageing tips because water makes up to 65% of your body and without copious amounts of it in your body, you cannot win the anti-ageing battle.
2. Eat healthy: Eat healthy and balanced. Foods and supplements containing omega fatty acids and antioxidants will do just fine. Increase your intake of fresh fruits like oranges and watermelons. Vegetables can also help retain your skin’s glow. Avoid sweet treats because when sugar breaks down and enters your bloodstream, it degrades collagen and elastin, the fibres that support your skin and in turn leads to sagging and wrinkles.
3. Protect your skin from the sun: Use sunscreens to prevent early wrinkles and skin cancer but if you must stay in the sun, use a sunscreen with a high SPF. Re-apply the sunscreen when needed.
4. Get enough rest: It shows on your skin when you have denied yourself enough rest. If you are tired, your skin appears dull and sullen and the quickest cure for this is rest.
5. Moisturize: With a good moisturizer, you can help boost your skin’s cell regeneration. You can also pamper the skin under your eyes with a good eye gel. For nights, thick and creamy moisturizers will soothe your skin.
6. Stay away from smoking: Smoking leads to wrinkles and bad skin in general. The environment is polluted and already working against your skin, don’t use smoking to inflict more skin issues upon yourself.
7. Exercise: Regular exercise will give you a healthy body and skin. Meditation and breathing exercises can help to keep your nerves calm and battle stress that stands as the biggest enemy to good skin. Indulging in de-stressing activities can also go a long way. Going for spa treatments helps you to relax your skin and body.
8. Talk to a dermatologist: Visit a dermatologist and discuss preventive measures against skin problems and how to keep healthy and younger looking skin.
