- Always wear sunscreen when you are in the sun. And avoid being in direct sunshine from 10:00am-2:00pm, where a hat or sit under an umbrella.
- Wash your face every night before bed, never sleep with makeup on.
- Use an eye cream every night starting at age 20. And use your ring finger to gently apply it.
- Give yourself a facial massage. This stimulates blood and oxygen circulation, which means more collagen production. It also tightens and tones facial muscles, resulting in your skin looking lifted.
- Moisturize your face and body every day. Applying lotion right after your shower will seal in moisture.
- Drink lots of water and limit caffeine. Staying hydrated is so important for the body and skin.
- Don’t smoke. And avoid second hand smoke as well.
- Limit alcohol intake. Alcohol dehydrates the skin and causes wrinkles. Water down your drinks with club soda or drink a glass of water in between each glass of wine.
- Use products with retinol or glycolic. Both have anti-aging properties, including reducing and preventing wrinkles, scarring and more.
- Sleep a minimum of 7 hours every night. The body needs adequate rest to restore and replenish.
- Take your vitamins and eat a healthy diet. There is not a product or quick fix that can make up for an unhealthy diet.
- Exercise, you don’t have to do strenuous work outs; just get moving at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes. Aim to get your heart rate up and work up a sweat. Sweating flushes out toxins and increases blood flow. Having a healthy body will also give you healthy skin.
- Exfoliate 1-3 times a week. This gets off the dead, dull skin cells to reveal new & fresh skin underneath.
- Use a daytime serum and/or night time serum. Let the serum do the work for you all day or at night while you are sleeping.
- Never go braless, even around the house at least wear a shelf bra tank or day bra. Don’t let gravity give you saggy boobs.
- Avoid drinking from straws. Sucking on a straw causes wrinkles around the mouth.
- Exfoliate your body with coffee grounds. The caffeine helps to stimulate blood flow, reduces cellulite and stretch marks.
- Apply a hand cream every night before bed. Hands show age faster than anywhere else.
- Do not pick or pull your skin. Picking and pulling causes scarring and wrinkles.
- Squinting into the sun causes crows feet, always wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
- Exfoliate and apply a lip treatment to your lips often. Keeping your lips plump and hydrated keeps you looking younger.
- Don’t neglect your neck and décolleté. Cleanse and moisturize the same as your face. Look at your neck, typically you will see 1 distinct line for every 10 years of your life. (ex: if you are 30 years old you should have 3 lines on your neck)
- If you have wrinkles that really bother you, get botox. There is only so much reversal you can get from a product. If you are completely unhappy with wrinkles on your face go ahead and get botox.
- Prevention! You are never to young to start a healthy skincare regimen, diet and lifestyle. Make decisions today that your future self will be proud of.
- Laugh every day, it’s medicine for the soul.
