Aging isn’t a bad thing, it’s the most natural process we go through. For many people, we begin to lose skin elasticity and collagen in our mid 20’s-early 30’s. This can result in sagging, wrinkly skin over time. Other factors such as excess sun exposure and an unhealthy diet can speed up this process even further. While there isn’t inherently anything wrong with aging, there are things you can do to age gracefully and maintain your youthful, glowing skin.
Healthy Lifestyle
One of the easiest ways to keep your skin (and entire body) youthful is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Excess sugar, alcohol, and smoking can have an adverse effect on your overall health, which includes your skin. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and plenty of water will lay the groundwork for lasting youthful skin.
Sunscreen
A wildly underappreciated product to help maintain youthful skin is sunscreen. It doesn’t matter if it’s the middle of winter or cloudy outside, applying sunscreen daily is crucial in protecting your skin. Repeat sunburns, even if minor, can cause irreversible damage to your skin, accelerating the aging process. There are a variety of products that have sunscreen infused into moisturizers, foundations, powders, etc., to help keep your skin healthy on a day-to-day basis.
Retinol
Another product to incorporate into your skincare routine for youthful skin is retinol. Retinol works by increasing skin cell production and collagen to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to its anti-aging benefits, it can also help unclog pores to keep your skin fresh and glowing. Retinol is a must-have skincare routine product as we age to keep our skin looking young.
Injectable Treatments
Neurotoxins such as Botox & Dysport are a fantastic way to age gracefully. By relaxing the facial muscles, these neurotoxins soften fine lines and wrinkles. There are many different treatment areas for Botox & Dysport to choose from to maintain a youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are also a great treatment option to increase volume and hydration in certain areas of the face to keep your youthful appearance.
Skin Rejuvenation & Laser Treatments
HydraFacials, Chemical Peels, and Microneedling are all amazing skin rejuvenation treatments to help cleanse, exfoliate, and freshen your skin. These treatments are ideal to do semi-regularly to prevent accelerated aging skin. HALO & BBL laser treatments can help address skin concerns that have already progressed and help reverse the appearance of aging. HALO is a rejuvenating treatment that improves skin texture and tone, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and addresses brown spots and pore size. BBL treatments work at addressing skin redness caused by broken capillaries, rosacea, brown spots, melasma, and acne.
