There are a number of ways to look younger and these can include a variety of things. We’ve detailed everything below.
So, whether you want to change your diet, go for a face peel or use a better moisturizer – it’s covered.
Avoid Consuming Excessive Amounts Of Sugar As Part Of Your Diet
The last few decades have been bad for carbohydrates. We first realized that cutting down on the amount of carbs we ate could help significantly control our weight. We are now realizing more and more that cutting back on the amount of carbs we consume can also help with giving us a younger appearance.
When the blood stream has excessive amounts of sugars in it, they bind to the collage during a process called glycation. This results in the collagen fibres stiffening. A recent study showed that higher blood sugar levels give you an older appearance.
Avoid Going On Fast Weight Loss Programs
Over the past ten years our entire understanding of the facial aging process has significantly changed. We know now that facial aging, instead of just being a problem of simple gravity, is a lot more complex than that. It’s a three-dimensional process where losing volume underneath the skin results in an appearance of excess or redundant skin on the surface.
Loss of facial volume accelerates by rapid weight loss. The aging appearance can also be exacerbated. That’s why the best thing to do is trying to stick with a healthy weight, and not fluctuate too much in either direction.
Begin An Anti-Aging Skincare Regimen Early On
You should start on an effective anti-aging skincare regimen as soon as you resolve any adolescent skin problems.
It doesn’t have to be especially complicated as long as you protect your skin from the sun. As much as 80% of our skin aging is due to environmental factors. The number one cause is sun exposure. Just think about what the huge possible long terms benefits could be if we all started to use sun protection early on.
As you grow older and aging signs start to make their appearance, it’s time to step things up a bit and start to use products containing collagen-stimulating ingredients such as peptides and retinoids. However, when you start developing specific aging signs such as uneven pigmentation, then you need to begin incorporating treatment products that are more targeted such as serums.
You Need To Use A Moisturizer If Your Skin Is Dry Rather Than Drink A Glass Of Water
When we start to age, that’s when our skin starts to feel rough and dry. Many people have the mistaken belief that dehydration is causing the problem, and that they need to drink more water. However, that isn’t what the answer is.
As we grow older, the epidermis- the top layer of our skin- starts to become less effective in maintaining its major function, which is to act as a barrier to the external world and keep the water inside our skin. This results in losing water to the environment, leaving the skin looking and feeling dry.
The problem won’t be corrected by drinking more water. However, a good moisturizer can help.
Use A Dedicated Eye Product For Targeting The Eye Area
The skin around your eyes is very delicate and thin. It experiences constant stress through repetitive actions by the muscles underneath. They are directly underneath the skin, and there is no layer of fat providing some padding in between the layers like there is in other places on the face. This results in the eyes often being one of the first areas that show aging signs.
