Here are the main things that will help you keep your skin looking younger:
1. Use Sunscreen (Sun Protection)
The main reason why the skin ages quickly is the UV rays in the sun. This destroys the collagen in the skin and causes wrinkles and dark spots. Make it a habit to use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 not only when you go out, but also when you are indoors.
2. Maintain skin moisture (Moisturization)
Wrinkles appear quickly on dry skin. Using a good moisturizer every morning and night will make the skin glow and soft. Products containing hyaluronic acid will help maintain skin moisture.
3. Foods rich in antioxidants
The cause of aging is cell damage caused by free radicals. To prevent this, include berries (Blueberries, Strawberries), citrus fruits (oranges, lemons), leafy greens, and nuts in your diet. Vitamins C and E will improve skin health.
4. Facial exercises (Face Yoga)
Exercising the facial muscles increases blood flow and prevents sagging skin. This will help give the face a proper shape and reduce wrinkles.
5. Techniques to increase collagen
As you age, the body’s collagen production decreases. Eating egg whites, fish, and fruits rich in vitamin C will increase collagen production. Also, using creams containing vitamin A (Retinol) at night will help rejuvenate the skin.
6. Sleep and rest
Getting 7-8 hours of sleep a day gives skin cells time to repair themselves. Lack of sleep can cause dark circles under the eyes and dull skin.
3 things to note:
Drink water: Drinking at least 3 liters of water a day will hydrate the skin from within.
Reduce sugar: Excessive sugar can destroy collagen in the skin (Glycation).
Massage your face: Massaging your face with any oil before going to bed at night will increase blood flow.
