The anti-aging process to our skin begins in our early thirties. Until then we take our youthful looks for granted. After this period we need to start to look after our skin in order to stay younger looking for longer. Establish simple daily routines to prevent premature ageing to your skin. Keep your skin looking as fresh, clear and wrinkle free for as long as possible. Here are our top tips to prevent premature ageing.
Always remember to take your make up off before going to sleep, otherwise your skins pores get blocked and this in turn can cause spots. A good cleanser to clean your pores is essential for good skin. Exfoliation, once a week is important to keep skin in good condition. Use a good quality exfoliator without abrasive granules to be gentle to your skin.
A good quality moisturiser is an essential daily product to apply to your skin. Your day cream should preferably contain zinc oxide and at be least SPF 30 for sun protection. You must wear sun protection cream everyday, even on a cloudy day, to prevent sun damage to your skin.
Establish a regular 8 - 9 hrs of sleep daily. If you do not have enough sleep, the oxygen levels in your body will reduce which results in slower regeneration of new skin cells. This in turn causes premature ageing.
Vitamin C, E, A, K and B are all good for skin. Also supplements of Vitamin C and Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids. You may also find primrose oil or borage oil to be beneficial to your skin.
Keep your body hydrated. Two litres of fluid should be consumed daily. A quarter of your daily intake can come from fluid in our foods, namely fruit and vegetables. Remember the 5 a day servings of fruit and vegetables as recommended by our physicians. Eating plenty of fruit and vegetables not only helps to keep us hydrated but also helps prevent many other health issues.
Facial exercises are a good way of keeping your facial muscles tight. Your skin will look naturally firm and young looking.
Lastly remember prevention is better than cure so start your healthy daily routine today.
