Aging is inevitable, we all know that. Why not make the best of it and do everything you can to slow down the aging process? It’s not just the harsh sun or your genetics aging you. Read on for nine ways to maintain a more youthful appearance to help make you look and feel young!
Facial Massages
Facial massages are beneficial for anti-aging because it helps to improve circulation which results in more oxygen and nutrient-rich blood flowing to your face. This helps increase collagen production and boosts elasticity in the skin. There are many benefits to facial massages such as boosting circulation, encouraging lymphatic drainage, improving product absorption, reducing muscle tension, and supporting detoxification.
Don’t Neglect the Neck
The skin on your neck and chest is much thinner than the skin on your face which is why wrinkles and skin damage are more common on your neck and chest as you age. These areas are more prone to sun damage, sagging of the skin, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and other signs of premature aging. As you do your skincare you should always make sure that you don’t forget about your neck. Cleanse daily, apply a moisturizer with SPF daily and gently exfoliate the skin at least every two weeks to stay refreshed. Moisturize with a specific neck treatment cream that will help restore the firmness and tone sagging skin.
Add Vitamin C to Your Routine
Vitamin C is a very powerful ingredient in many anti-aging products. Vitamin C reduces the appearance of wrinkles when used for at least 12 weeks. People who also eat foods rich in vitamin C have fewer wrinkles and less age-related dry skin. Looking for skincare products that have vitamin C can help your skin appear younger and can even help prevent sun damage when used with sunscreen. It is best to apply these products after you cleanse your face and before you apply your moisturizer so the product can penetrate your skin better. Vitamin C can also help reduce the appearance of dark spots by blocking the production of pigment in your skin.
Apply SPF Daily
Frequent exposure to the sun with little to no protection can cause damage to your elastin, collagen, and skin cells, which can lead to early signs of aging over time. Discoloration, wrinkles, and fine lines are all early signs of aging. Those who spend time in the sun without protection, especially for long periods can develop premature aging faster. Don’t worry, these skin issues can be preventable with daily sunscreen use! We also offer a variety of treatment options and affordable memberships here at Live Young Wellness Spa that can help treat those fine lines and wrinkles! You always want to apply SPF to your face daily to help protect your skin from those harsh UV rays.
Stay Hydrated
Not drinking enough water can quickly cause your skin to appear more dry and dull, emphasizing wrinkles and aging. You should aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to stay hydrated. Hydration can help the appearance of bright younger looking skin. Drinking enough water throughout your day will replenish your skin’s tissue and cells resulting in younger healthier-looking skin.
Get Facials Regularly
This is not always on people’s priority list but has many great benefits. Here at Live Young Wellness Spa, we have affordable monthly memberships to ensure everyone can take care of their skin in an affordable manner. Regularly getting facials is one of the best ways to maintain healthy and glowing skin.
Moisturize
Keeping your skin moisturized is one of the quickest ways to have a more glowing complexion. It is best to moisturize daily even if you have naturally oily skin. When you don’t moisturize, your skin becomes drier and appears dull. It is good to invest in a good hydrating lotion that contains ingredients such as peptides, ceramides, and electrolytes.
Exfoliate
Exfoliating can help get rid of your dead skin cells creating a more fresh and glowing appearance. If you don’t exfoliate and get rid of the dead skin cells, it can result in more dull, dry, and flakey skin. Exfoliation can leave your skin looking brighter and improve the absorption of skincare products.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Are you sick and tired of waking up sick and tired? Around the age of 35, our natural hormone levels in our body begin to decline making it more difficult to maintain lean muscle and keep an adequate energy level. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy can make a dramatic, life-changing improvement in mood and health for a majority of patients.
