Aging is a part of everyone’s reality. And with aging come unwanted lines, saggy skin and an overall look of tiredness. But don’t fret just yet, we have some great tips to help slow down the aging process and help you look as young and fresh as you can for as long as possible.
Diet
It’s well known that having a healthy diet can add years to your life by preventing diseases. But eating well can also make you look and feel younger. Proteins, which are key building blocks of the skin, and essential fatty acids like omega-3, play an important role in keeping your skin healthy and nourished. Eating fish, such as salmon, is one great way to consume plenty of proteins and omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats can actually reduce clogging of your skin’s pores and help erase fine lines and wrinkles.
Exercise
Regular exercise has been proven to be one of the most effective ways to look younger for longer. According to research, cells in the bodies of those who exercise live longer than those who don’t. When cells begin to die, wrinkles appear, muscles get weaker, eyesight and hearing become poorer and mental activity begins to slow. Exercise not only keeps you looking young, but it also helps reduce the risk of fatal diseases, including cancer and heart disease. Furthermore, exercise helps to maintain and build muscle strength, bone density, balance and stamina. So make it a priority to hit the gym, because exercise is definitely worth the hard work.
Vitamin Supplements
If you don’t get enough vitamins and antioxidants from your food, then it’s important to take supplements in order to continue looking healthy and young. By supporting the skin’s natural repair process, Vitamins C, E and Selenium protect your skin from skin cancer, sun damage and may reverse discoloration and wrinkles caused by aging.
Cosmetic Procedures
Although the tips mentioned above can help slow the aging process, they are not very effective in reversing the sagging and wrinkles that already exist. This is where cosmetic procedures can really help. Both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments can transform tired skin into tight, youthful skin. Depending on your needs and desires, there are various treatments to help slow and reverse the signs of aging. Botulinum toxin injections (like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin) are the most popular cosmetic procedure in the world with over 4.8 million injections in 2013, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are so popular because they are very effective in reducing facial wrinkles including frown lines, forehead furrows, crows feet and skin bands on the neck.
