Growing old is a privilege - but we can all agree that preventing a few wrinkles never hurts.
Below are the top 5 tips on maintaining a healthy, youthful appearance, no matter what age you are.
-
Sun Protection: Sun protection is crucial in preventing the early onset of wrinkles, along with more serious issues such as skin cancer. Be sure to invest in a quality daily sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, such as our Everyday Sun Defense SPF 30 - which boasts a sheer, non-greasy formula. In addition to sunscreen, be sure to protect your skin with UV-protecting hats, sunglasses, pants, & long-sleeved shirts when outside.
-
Quality Skincare: Applying moisturizer on the regular keeps your skin plump & smooth, as it locks in water & prevents wrinkles. For more targeted treatments, look into serums & eye creams, which contain concentrated ingredients that can further aid in wrinkle prevention. Our Advanced Age Defense Skincare Set contains a serum, eye cream, & face cream - all of which contain Volufiline™, a patented active clinically proven to smooth fine lines & wrinkles.
-
Diet: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables & healthy proteins gives your skin the nutrients & healthy fats it needs to maintain a youthful appearance. Avoid excess levels of sugar, refined carbohydrates, and processed foods. In addition, keep smoking & drinking to a minimum - smoking can speed up wrinkle formation while dulling your complexion, and alcohol is known to dry out the skin. Frequent use of either can speed up signs of aging.
-
Exercise: Regular exercise keeps your body healthy by improving circulation and reducing cortisol levels. This contributes to the health of your immune system, along with your overall health, which then in turn is reflected in your skin.
-
Sleep: Your skin undergoes repair & regeneration while you sleep, so getting a healthy amount per night is highly recommended in maintaining skin & overall health. It is recommended to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
When it comes to skin health, it is important to take care of yourself both externally (via quality products & sun protectant) along with internally (overall health). Be sure to give your skin - and yourself - the treatment it deserves.
