Hollywood no longer has the monopoly on looking good as you age. The impressive improvements in healthcare have allowed people to live for longer; emphasizing the need to stay healthy and young looking for as long as possible. It’s no longer just a vanity thing!
You may think that surgery is the only option, but not everyone can afford blepharoplasty , a facelift, neck lift or even liposuction. You also need to consider the risks when undergoing any surgical procedure.
Fortunately there is another way. You can make your skin look younger without surgery:
Skin Creams
This is the most obvious alternative and a valid one. You’ll need to choose a product that has a proven track record. But, you should also consider what ingredients are in each product. The best creams are neutraceutical products.
The reason this is the case is that a nutraceutical is a nutrient of a pharmaceutical level. The products are regulated under the FDA.
These creams and lotions are designed to hydrate your skin, boost natural collagen production and return that youthful glow. They really work but you will need to keep using them!
Stress
Stress is one of the most dangerous things for human health. It can cause hormonal imbalances which can weaken your immune system and increase the likelihood of age related diseases.
But, it also causes you to lose collagen in your skin. Collagen is the compound that helps to give your skin elasticity and is a basic ingredient for new skin. If you haven’t got enough your skin will be dry.
Learn to take ten minutes out every day to relax and de-stress.
Stop Smoking
Did you know that when you smoke your body is absorbing as many as 40,000 toxins? That’s the main reason the skin of smokers is dry and damaged compared to non-smokers.
In fact smoking can make you look 10 years older than you actually are!
Eat Right
Protein is the building block of all cells. You need to make sure you eat a protein rich diet and include plenty of essential fatty acids. This will help to ensure your skin looks and feels fantastic.
Salmon, eggs, nuts and seeds are all great for protein and essential fatty acids.
Watch Your Alcohol
Enjoying a drink with friends is one thing but if you generally blush more when you’ve been drinking then you’re at higher risk of thread veins. These are when veins rise to the surface and are at higher risk of breaking; causing blotching.
Cut back on your drinking to reduce this possibility; it’s easier to prevent it than it is to treat it.
Massage
A good massage feels great but if you massage your face you’ll find that the blood vessels and lymph nodes are stimulating. This increases blood flow which gives you a healthy glow while flushing out toxins.
Add a few facial exercises such as smiling or wrinkling your nose and you’ll notice a remarkable difference in your skin in just a few weeks.
In all instances adding the right cream will accentuate the effect and help it to last longer.
