I personally believe in accepting who I am, in getting old gracefully and all that stuff. But there are times when I look in the mirror and wish I could turn back the time.
You know, those days when you spent lots of nights without sleep and still not have circles around your eyes. Those days when you didn’t even think that wrinkles would ever happen to you.
Oh those sweet days.
I also believe in taking care of ourselves and of course our skin. We don’t have to look 10 years older than our age. There are things we can do now to make sure that we are as beautiful as we are meant to be at our age.
So anyway, here are some of the best anti aging skincare regimen to get you started on a better you journey.
Eat Healthy
What you eat really does reflect on your skin. Stuff your diet with junk food and it’s not only your health that will suffer. Your skin will too.
So eat fresh food and veg as much as possible. Make sure you eat lots of protein which is needed for collagen production. Eliminate if not reduce processed food.
Think Positive Thoughts
Positive happy and relaxing thoughts release what are called happy hormones. This in turn significantly reduces our stress levels. And you probably know by now that stress is a big contributing factor to aging. Therefore, by thinking positive thoughts we are reducing the effects of aging on our body and skin.
Sleep
Get a good night’s sleep as much as possible. Not having enough sleep can have immediate and long term negative effects on our skin. This includes, eye puffiness, eye circles and a tired face.
Exercise
No they don’t just benefit your abs and your toned thighs. Exercise actually stimulates hormones that make our skin glow beautifully.
Sunscreen
This is extremely important if you want to avoid premature aging. In fact, some dermatologists would go as far to say that this is the only anti wrinkle cream you need. The sun plays a big part with the fine lines and furrows on your face so it’s only natural to reduce the damage by protecting yourself from it.
Facial Skincare
When people talk about antiageing skin care regimen, they often mean facial skincare. So let’s have a little talk about facial care.
When Do You Start Using Moisturizer or Facial Cream?
I do personally believe that the earlier you use a moisturizer the better it is. Many would start using one in their teens. I have to say though that my mother totally disagrees with this. She doesn’t like the idea of putting that much chemicals on your face at so early a time in your life. This is why if you’re considering using one in your teens or when you’re 20s it is best to be careful and steer away from bad ingredients in skin care products.
Puffy Eyes – This together with dark under eye circles is one of the most common complaints many of us have. The stress of every day life, the lack of sleep, the late night partying can all lead to this eye problem. Here are some puffy eyes home remedies that you can use to get rid of puffy eyes now.
