Healthy and young looking skin, as saddening as it may sound, has a timeline. Starting from our early 20’s, our skin gradually begins to age. In addition to the natural aging of skin, other external factors can actually speed up the ageing process. There’s pollution, an unhealthy diet, overuse of product on skin and not mention, skin’s no. 1 enemy — the sun (that only seems to get hotter every year). The good news is if it can be sped up, it surely can be slowed down.
Check out these beauty practices, tips and tricks you should start practicing today to prevent your skin from aging faster than it’s supposed to.
1. Apply Sunscreen and sunblock
The sooner we start to care about wrinkles and dullness, the slower we will age. The sun can destroy the collagen in our skin reducing the skin’s elasticity. Applying sunscreen regularly protects your skin cells and keeps it from burning through delicate parts of our face and body. Wear sunscreen with at least SPF30. If you’re used to putting on makeup, find a base with SPF protection. Don’t forget to reapply sunscreen after two hours if you’re under the sun for too long as melts away with sweat.
2. Go On A Healthy Diet
By the time we reach the age 20, our metabolism changes and we need to watch out diet carefully. It’s no secret that there are some food (particularly junk food, fast food and processed ingredients) that do more harm to our skin. The most important thing is to eat loads of fruits and vegetables as they contain antioxidants. You can also use skin products that have organic and natural ingredients full of antioxidants such as grapes, berries, nuts, oranges and many more.
3. Use The Right Facial Cleansers and Moisturizers
Do right by your skin by cleansing and treating it properly. The key to getting rid of all unwanted blemishes and dirt is to pick the perfect facial cleanser that suits your skin. After ridding your face of any impurities, you can proceed to applying a moisturizer that helps smoothen your skin and energize all healthy skin cells. Hydrating the skin also helps reduce wrinkles as it indirectly improves elasticity. Side note; drink lots of water too. Internal hydration will boost your skin’s condition and work wonders. Never underestimate the power of plain old water.
4. Consult A Dermatologist
Once you’ve got your day to day beauty regimen in place, it’s also helpful to consult an expert so you can proceed with treating your skin properly. Visit a dermatologist and don’t be afraid to ask all skin-related questions. From whitening, to skin correcting, and anti-aging, it always helps that your beauty and skin care habits are backed up by expert opinion.
