The reality is that as we get older, the signs of aging are written all over our faces—literally. Lines, wrinkles, spots, and sagging all begin to appear with age as our skin begins to lose natural elasticity. Rather than waking up one day and wondering where all those wrinkles came from, it’s much easier to get ahead of it by starting an anti-aging skincare regimen. Below are five of our favorite anti-aging secrets you can begin at any age.
1. Eat Better
It’s no big secret that a poor diet can lead to weight gain, but did you know that poor choices of foods can also show themselves on your skin? A bad diet can lead to dull skin and premature wrinkles. To combat this, be sure to incorporate more antioxidant-rich foods into your diet each day like dark leafy greens, fruits, and whole grains.
2. Apply Sunscreen Daily
Sun damage is one of the easiest ways your skin can age prematurely. Avoid sun damage by applying sunscreen every day, even if the weather is overcast. By combating the sun’s rays, you can better avoid wrinkles, issues with pigmentation, and dry skin caused by the sun. Rejuvaskin’s Mineral Facial Sunscreen is an excellent option, providing broad-spectrum SPF 31 protection with zinc oxide. Not only does it defend against harmful UV rays, but its lightweight, mineral-based formula is ideal for daily wear, keeping your skin smooth and safe from sun damage.
3. Moisturize Before Bed
Make it a nightly ritual to apply a quality moisturizer or anti-aging serum before bed at night. Rejuvaskin’s Revita-D Moisturizer is a fantastic choice. This daily moisturizer works to hydrate your skin and improve elasticity with its potent combination of ceramides and vitamins. Regular use results in healthy, revitalized skin, especially when applied at night when your skin is working to repair itself. Pair it with Rejuvaskin’s Advanced Skin Serum for enhanced results. These two together make a powerful anti-aging duo!
4. Eye Cream is a Nightly Essential
Years of smiling and laughter indicate a life well-led. However, they can also lead to those irritating crow’s feet at the corner of your eyes. Additionally, lack of sleep, stress, and poor diet can cause dark circles or bags under the eyes. To alleviate those eye issues, be sure to work an anti-aging eye cream into your nightly skincare routine.
5. Get Your Beauty Rest
Yes, studies show that beauty rest is a real thing. By aiming for 7-8 hours each night, you will avoid dark circles and dull skin. As you sleep, your skin cells regenerate and heal, which they can’t do while you’re up late on social media or binge-watching TV.
6. Keep it Simple
Avoid a 10-step nightly beauty regimen that you know you’ll never keep up. Instead, opt for a few high-quality skincare items and use them each night and day. The most important products you should have are a quality cleanser, Rejuvaskin’s Revita-D Moisturizer, and Rejuvaskin’s Mineral Facial Sunscreen for daytime protection. Keeping things simple with these essentials ensures you stay consistent, which is key to maintaining youthful skin.
Turning back the clock is easier said than done, but proactively taking steps to avoid premature aging can make a significant impact on the look and feel of your skin. If you stick to these simple anti-aging secrets, youthful, radiant skin is in your future!
