One day, we wake up and feel like we have aged 10 years overnight. Whether it is the day you find your first grey hair or you notice wrinkles on your forehead that do not seem to disappear, there comes a time when we all want to look and feel younger.
There are plenty of ways to maintain a more youthful look. Everything we do, eat and use on our skin can impact our complexion, and taking extra care can keep us feeling younger for longer.
In this post, we are highlighting just a few ways you can maintain a youthful look and continue feeling like your best self.
Lather up on sun cream
We are constantly told about the importance of sun cream. Even on a cloudy day, you should wear a low SPF to protect your skin.
The sun can easily damage your skin and create dark circles. One of the most important places to add sun cream is the eye area. As eyelids are the thinnest skin on the body, sun damage is quickly visible and can create an aging look. While concealer can brighten the area cosmetically, sun cream can prevent the real cause of those undereye circles.
Stay hydrated
Baylor College of Medicine says that when you feel thirsty, your body is already dehydrated. To combat this, you should stay hydrated and drink even when you do not feel like it. As we all know, consuming 8 glasses of water a day is recommended. And it can remove toxins, help you lose weight, and generally make you feel healthier and younger.
Do not underestimate your diet
To maintain a youthful look, you need to give your body the nutrients it needs. Antioxidants in fruit and veg can really benefit your body in an endless number of ways. Vitamin C, which can be found in all your delicious berries can help boost the body’s collagen production which will help keep skin firm and youthful.
It has also been suggested that mangoes help the skin repair itself, while also preventing or delaying the development of wrinkles.
Botox
Of course, diet and proper skincare can help, but for more immediate results, choose Botox. The best Botox treatments leave you with a youthful look in as little as 3 days, with wrinkles basically disappearing entirely after two weeks. Botox has a massive satisfaction rate and is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in America – so clinicians must be doing something right!
Choose a new hairstyle
You will be surprised how much framing your face can make a difference. If you are looking for a younger look, it might be time to opt for something fresh and new. Speak to your hairdresser about what hairstyles fit your face type and try something different. After all, if you do not like it, it will grow back in no time and you can try again.
There are plenty of ways the environment, products we use, and the food we eat can impact our skin. But by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, or getting a little help from the professionals, you can age gracefully and continue looking and feeling youthful for years.
