Just as any part of our body, our skin also requires proper
maintenance and nutrition. The teenage and 20s are the best time for our skin.
The only problem we generally face during these years are from acne and
breakouts. However, things change once we hit our late 20s. Different problems
like dark spots, enlarged pores and few lines here and there tend to show up.
This is a natural phenomenon and we cannot stop it. However, we can obviously
prevent premature aging and stop our skin from getting wrinkled and dried.
Aid with Antioxidants
Too much oily and
junk food can be harmful for your health. If you are healthy from inside, it
will show from outside as well. Consuming food rich in vitamins and
antioxidants is very necessary. Tomatoes, lemon, grapeseed etc are powerhouse
of antioxidants and therefore are very good for the skin.
Water, Water Everywhere
Never say no to water. Our body requires high amount of
water so try to drink at least 8 glasses a day. Water flush out toxins from
your body. So consumption of water in adequate quantity is very necessary for
your skin’s improvement as well.
Keep Safe from Sun:
Sun causes maximum skin damage to the skin. It is best to
avoid extreme sun exposure and if possible to be outdoors during the pick hours
from 12 noon to 3 pm. However, in today’s world it is quite impossible to
maintain this, so it is better to use a very good sunscreen with at
least SPF 30.
Eye Spy
Generally aging starts to show with few lines around the eye
area. So, it is a must to be careful to protect that part of the skin as it is
very sensitive and tender. Invest in a good eye cream with Retinol that can
reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles from your skin.
Axe Aging:
No matter whatever you eat and how much healthy your lifestyle
is, wrinkles and fine lines on your face are going to be evident once you ride
up the age meter. So taking care of your skin and using products specially
designed to combat signs of aging are a must. Try to form a skin care routine
by including a day cream and a night cream that actually can ward off wrinkles
effectively.
These are some simple ways to slower the aging process of
our skin. Maintaining these steps can definitely make you age gracefully.
