No matter how much we don’t want people to know our real age, most of the time our skin tells the real truth. You can’t stop time, unfortunately, but you can help the aging process to work to your benefit. Many people turn to cosmetic or medical anti-aging treatments such as plastic surgery and lasering procedures, which can slow down this process for a good while, but a good portion of us can’t afford the high cost of such extreme procedures. Here are a few things you can do yourself to keep that firm, smooth, clear skin people pay big money for …
1. Relax your mind and soul: Studies confirm that stress plays a huge role in premature aging. It causes wrinkles and tension. Ease your mind, take a warm bubble bath with some candles and play a relaxing CD, paint a portrait, find your mantra.
2. Exercise your body: It really can improve your overall skin health and quality. Sweating is good for purging out the toxins in the body and skin that can clog pores, do always shower after your workout to prevent dirt from clogging the pores. Plus exercising helps tone your muscles making your skin more firm and elastic in its overall appearance.
3. Sunscreen: The sun causes ninety percent of the aging process. Applying sunscreen before leaving the house will help out tremendously with wrinkles as well as sunspots. A professional grade SPF that fits your skin type would be very beneficial.
4. Eating: Have you ever heard the saying “You are what you eat”, its true! If you intake too much greasy foods the more prone you are to having multiple blemishes. You’ll notice the more healthy food you intake, the clearer your skin will look and feel.
