If there is one thing that nearly all of us have in common, it is that we would all love it if we could stay young forever. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about the hands of time. However, there are many steps we can all take to reverse the signs of aging.
What can you do to naturally maintain your youthful appearance?
Use only natural skin care products.
It probably goes without saying that one of the easiest ways to naturally look younger is to use skin care products with natural ingredients. Consider the fact that many store-bought skin care products are filled with harsh chemicals including alcohol. They only serve to speed up your skin’s aging process. This may surprise you, but on Lifehack.org, Chiara Fucarino actually recommends washing your face with honey.
“Did you know that Cleopatra took milk and honey baths to keep her skin fresh and wrinkle-free?” she asks, “She was onto something, because honey is fantastic for your skin. It’s full of antioxidants, it opens up your pores, and it moisturizes your skin. So ditch the face wash (which is probably loaded with harsh chemicals anyway) and start washing your face with honey!”
Opt for a pescatarian diet.
Pescatarians are essentially vegetarians who eat fish. Most have cut meat out of their diets, but continue to dine on seafood because they contend that fish provides more health benefits than it does hazards. Among those benefits are the anti-aging qualities of omega-3 fats. They are found in fatty fish like salmon.
“Fatty fish is a highly nutritious food that can promote healthy skin,” writes Katey Davidson on Healthline.com, “Research has shown that omega-3 fatty acids are linked to a strong skin barrier and may help decrease inflammation that damages the skin. Salmon, one of the most popular types of fatty fish, has additional aspects that may help support your skin’s health. First, it contains a carotenoid antioxidant called astaxanthin, which is responsible for the pink color of salmon.”
Make water your best friend.
This wouldn’t be the first time we’ve heralded the anti-aging properties of water. And we’re sure it won’t be the last. Staying hydrated is one of the easiest ways to maintain optimum health, not to mention look younger. Carry a bottle of water with you wherever you go to make sure you’re drinking enough water every day.
“Because water evaporates from the skin, you need to constantly replenish your body with water,” says Fucarino, “If you don’t, your skin will end up dry and saggy. Water keeps your skin plump, elastic, and smooth.”
Give Thermage a shot.
When all else fails, there are still other methods of helping you to maintain a youthful appearance. For many of us, fine lines and wrinkles are bound to form eventually. Treating fine lines and wrinkles with Thermage is one excellent way that you can invest in your appearance. The innovative Thermage® system is a non-invasive radiofrequency therapy that promotes the growth of collagen.
