Modern living can have an effect on how old we look, especially if you lead a busy, stressful life.
You might not feel like you have the time to make yourself look younger, so you could be surprised by these straightforward tips that not only affect your appearance, but can give you a nice rosy glow of wellness.
Stop the Sag
As skin ages it loses elasticity because of the reduction in collagen in our bodies. Nutrients provide us with the building blocks for a healthy body and muscles. Eating a wide selection of citrus fruits, spinach and keeping yourself topped up with water will show in your appearance. Making sure you have enough of these nutrients to boost collagen production may prevent skin sagging.
Exercise Everywhere
We all know that exercise is good for the heart, body and wellbeing – so why not exercise your facial muscles as well. Although you use them throughout the day, they can still benefit from their own workout. There are lots of different exercises you can do with your cheeks, neck and eye area to tighten muscles and feel more youthful.
Gently Does It
Washing away the impurities of the day from you skin removes bacteria and allows you to have a clean base to put on anti-ageing products. Use gentle sponges and facial wipes to remove make-up residue as scrubbing too much may strip your skin of its natural protective oils that it needs to stay naturally moisturised.
Sleep and Hydrate
Our bodies are very good at replenishing themselves naturally – but you"ll need good blocks of sleep to make the most of this healing process. Sleeping on your back can prevent pillow lines forming on your face and allows circulation to flow freely through your facial blood vessels. Wake up to a morning cup of Chinese herbal tea to start the day hydrated. The drink is packed with anti-ageing nutrients and can promote skin elasticity – a must for a youthful appearance.
