Aging is part of life, it begins with wrinkles and crow’s feet, then comes sagging skin and loss of volume in the face. Although it may take a bit more effort, we can still look younger in our forties, fifties and beyond.
Sun protection
Prevention is the key, that’s why always use sunscreen products with high SPF ingredients to protect the skin from the sun, always remembering to reapply throughout the day. The ultraviolet rays of the sun tend to damage the epidermis and this is the main cause of wrinkles, sun spots, pigmentation and many other signs of skin aging. To further protect your skin, instead of getting a real tan, try wearing a fake tan.
Facial expressions
Repeated facial expressions and movements cause fine lines and wrinkles. Every time you use a facial muscle, a groove forms under the surface of the skin. As skin ages, it loses its flexibility and no longer returns to its place, so to avoid lines and wrinkles, you should try to stop pursing your lips, frowning, and squinting. Keep in mind that all facial movements, when performed repeatedly, can cause fine lines and wrinkles to appear that remain on the face.
Facial exercises
Facial workouts are a beauty trend that has emerged in recent years. Performing certain facial exercises for thirty minutes every day can help give you a more youthful appearance by increasing blood circulation in all three layers of the skin, allowing oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells. The muscles of the face, like any other muscle, will deteriorate as we age and doing facial exercises will keep your facial muscles toned and this will keep your face young and vibrant.
Exfoliates the skin
Exfoliation is an important part of a beauty routine, as it is one of the best ways to renew your skin. When we exfoliate it, it gently rubs the face removing dead skin, unclogging the pores and making the skin more receptive to a moisturizer. Exfoliating once a week will improve the appearance and texture of your skin.
Cleanse, tone and hydrate
Every morning and night we wash our face to remove sweat, dirt and pollution that accumulates on the face. If not washed properly, dead skin, makeup, and dirt will build up, leading to blemishes and dull skin. Toning helps remove any traces of makeup or impurities and helps to close and tighten pores. Daily hydration of the skin helps prevent water loss and will restore hydration to the skin, enhancing its texture.
When it comes to aging skin we must also take into account cosmetic treatments, such as Botox and Dermal Fillers. Even with all the care we give our skin with anti-aging products, it still won’t stop any signs of aging. Dermal and Botox fillers can relax facial muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles, and will replace lost volume, making us look refreshed and rejuvenated.
