Anti-Aging Tips: How To Stay Young
The following are only some ways on how you can fight the signs of aging on your face and body.
Minimize shower time
For the most of us who want to relax after a long, tiring day, we take a long and steamy shower before bedtime. However, it might do more harm than good for our skin.
If you don’t know yet, it can strip off the body’s natural oil or moisturizer. When this happens, your skin might suffer from exacerbated skin problems, such as eczema.
In short, avoid long and warm showers if you want to keep looking younger, longer.
Wear sunscreen protection before going out the sun
Wear sunscreen protection before going out the sunThere is nothing that ages your skin faster than the sun does. Its harmful UV rays are speeding up the aging process because it breaks down collagen and inhibits in new cell growth.
When this happens, your skin will also become thin and eventually lose its elasticity and firmness. No one wants that.
• Choose a sunscreen with at least SPF 15 and that protects against both UVA and UVB rays.
• Use it daily even in the winter and during cloudy days. Even on days when you cannot see the sun, you should wear sunscreen because there is still UV exposure out there, maybe just hiding beneath those clouds.
• Reapply every two hours or more often if you’re sweaty and more active.
Improve your posture
Another way to prevent fast aging is to avoid slouching or having a bad posture. You should always aim at improving and maintaining a good posture, even when sitting or standing up.
When standing, you should always aim at having your back straight with your shoulders pulled back. You should also keep your head held high at all times when walking or standing up.
By correcting your posture and keeping a good one, you can prevent excessive strain on your muscles, spine and joints. With that, you can also prevent injury and be able to improve your mood.
Plus, proper posture is a sign of confidence and can make you feel stronger and younger.
Cut back on alcohol
If you want to keep looking younger, longer, you should limit alcohol intake. If you cannot help but drink, aim at drinking only once a week.
In case you don’t know it, alcohol causes free radical damage, which speeds up the process of aging because it damages healthy skin cells and lead to inflammation.
Reduce sugar intake
If you cannot help but add sugar in your coffee, you must at least minimize it. Or else, you will suffer from fast aging because sugar can contribute to skin dehydration, leading to wrinkles and fine lines later. You should also skip on the candy, cake, soda and other sugary beverages and foods.
