As you age, your skin begins to show signs of wear and tear. Fine lines and wrinkles appear, and age spots may start to form. While there’s no way to stop the ageing process completely, there are a few things you can do to reduce its effects on your skin. Here are eight tips to help keep your skin looking young and healthy. Take a look.Â
Use SunscreenÂ
One of the main causes of premature ageing is exposure to the sun. To protect your skin, apply sunscreen whenever you’re spending time outdoors. Look for sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, and be sure to reapply it every 2 hours or as needed.Â
Stay HydratedÂ
Drinking plenty of water is essential for good health at any age, but it’s especially important as you age. When you’re well-hydrated, your skin is better able to fight off damaging free radicals. Aim to drink four to eight glasses of water per day.Â
Don’t SmokeÂ
Smoking damages the collagen in your skin, which leads to premature ageing. If you smoke, quitting is one of the best things you can do for your skin—and your health. Talk to your doctor about ways to quit smoking for good.Â
Eat Healthy FoodsÂ
Eating a healthy diet is another key way to keep your skin looking its best. Make sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods are packed with antioxidants that help fight off free radicals that can damage your skin.Â
Get Enough SleepÂ
When you don’t get enough sleep, it shows on your face in the form of dark circles under your eyes. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night to avoid this.Â
Reduce StressÂ
Chronic stress can affect your entire body, including your skin. To keep stress levels in check, try exercises like yoga or meditation. You can also try some relaxation techniques like deep breathing or aromatherapy.Â
Use Anti-Aging ProductsÂ
Several anti-ageing products on the market can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles—such as serums, moisturizers, and eye creams. Read the labels carefully to find the right products for your skin type.                                 Â
Talk to an Expert
Regular aesthetics doctor visits can also help keep your skin looking its best. A dermatologist can provide expert advice on caring for your skin and offer treatments like Botox or Ellanse if you’re interested in pursuing them.Â
