2. We believe that Vitamin C treatments
boost collagen. Stimulating collagen
synthesis can help reduce wrinkles
and improve skin texture. Try
something with vitamin C in it and
use it in other places in addition to
the face like your neck, arms and
hands.
3. Sex is one of our
recommendations that helps
to battle aging. The hormones
released during and after sex
are anti-inflammatory and
fight aging and stress.
4. Topical peptides can improve
the creepy appearance in
aging skin. Try a serum with
peptides in it and use it
under the eyes and all over
face.
5. Well, we're not suggesting you
drink a pot of coffee a day but did
you know caffeine in beauty
products can perk up your skin? This
ingredient is known to repair
stretch marks and fine lines by
vasoconstriction, or closing blood
vessels, temporarily helping reduce
the appearance of sagging, puffy
skin.
6. Sun damage is the main culprit for
skin aging - about 80 percent of aging
is due to excess sun exposure.
Overexposure can break down
collagen and elastin in skin and cause
more wrinkles and pigmentation to
occur. We suggest using products
containing zinc or avobenzone, which
will help block UVA light so that you
don't accumulate more UV damage.
7. We suggest eating plenty of plant-
based foods. Don’t limit your idea
of anti-aging prevention to the
appearance of your skin on the
face, it is also important to factor
in your internal health too from
your diet to your stress level.
8. In general, if you're younger, you
should divide your skin care
regimen so that 70 percent of it
addresses acne and 30 percent
addresses aging. Then, as you get
older, you'll want to reverse it so
that 80 percent addresses aging
and 20 percent addresses acne.
9. We recommend exercising when
you first wake up to get your
circulation going. Do some
downward dogs or an inversion
to get your heart above your
head. It'll help reverse the blood
flow and reduce dark circles.
10. Wearing too much makeup
can actually make you look
older. Avoid wearing too
much powder, and instead
wear sunscreen, some blush
and do up the lips and eyes a
bit.
11. If you don't sleep on your
back, your face gets
smooched into the pillow,
which deepens natural lines
of expressions and creates
new ones.
