Want to Look 30 When You’re 50? Stop Doing These Things Now

Everyone wants to look younger than they really are. But, what steps are you taking right now to look younger? It doesn’t matter how old you are, you are most likely doing things that age your face immensely…even without knowing it! If you want to look 30 even when you’re 50 or 60 there are a few things you can do now to help.

stop-smokingStop Smoking

Smoking is one of the worst health habits people can do, especially when it comes to your skin. Nicotine forces the small blood vessels in your face to strangulate themselves, depriving your skin of necessary oxygen. You’ll not only get those telltale lip lines, but you may notice your face ages faster the more you smoke.

eat healthyEat Healthy

Diet and skin have a strong relationship. There are foods you can eat to help give you a more youthful appearance, and there are foods you should avoid. Some foods you should consume weekly include:

  • Yellow Bell Peppers – Great for erasing wrinkles.
  • Eggs – Helps combat free radicals and sagging skin.
  • Whole Grains – These contain selenium, which can protect your skin from damaging sun rays.
  • Salmon – Omega-3 fatty acids decrease inflammation and can help treat blemishes.

Similarly, you should avoid fatty, greasy, and foods with saturated fat and high sodium. These all dehydrate the skin, add excess sebum, and can give your skin a dull, aged look.

Skin ResurfacingTry Skin Resurfacing

Skin resurfacing can help rejuvenate the outer layer of skin on your face, reduce the signs of acne scars and blemishes, and even reduce wrinkles. Don’t try at-home chemical peels or dermabrasion kits; instead, meet with a professional and have your procedure done by a plastic surgeon to ensure you don’t damage the skin permanently.

Don’t Use a Straw

Straws, when used frequently, can actually increase the number of wrinkles around the mouth. To try minimizing how many wrinkles you form around your lips, drink from a glass or a mug.

Advice of Friends and FamilyDon’t Listen to the Advice of Friends and Family

The best skincare advice is that from plastic surgery professionals or health care providers, not your friends or family who think they are skincare experts. Everyone has different skin, different levels of aging, DNA, and so on. Remember that everyone is different. One method or product that works for one person may not work for another. Using the products recommended by others could actually age your skin faster, especially if you are using products or methods that aren’t right for you.

HydrateHydrate

Water is a key ingredient for younger skin. Dehydrated skin can sag and look older. Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day to keep your skin youthful, hydrated, and glowing.
