Collaborative Post¦ Our skin changes as we age and if we don’t look after it, it can give our age away with a glance. We all want to look as youthful as possible, for as long as possible but age can catch up with us. However, there are things you can do to make sure your skin doesn’t age prematurely.

Take a look at these simple tips that will allow your skin to stay as fresh as it can and make you feel confident and beautiful.

Stay Out of the Sun

Most people love to feel the sun on their skin. There’s nothing quite like relaxing on the beach with a cocktail in your hand while on vacation but it’s not necessarily the best thing for your skin. The sun can age your skin prematurely and you may find you have more wrinkles as you age if you spend a lot of time in the sun.

Additionally, too much sun has been linked to skin cancer. Making sure you find shade during the hottest parts of the day will help to protect your skin.

Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is a great option for anyone wanting to improve the appearance of their skin. It can help to reduce redness, wrinkles, scars, and acne. If you suffer with acne on your face, this type of therapy could drastically reduce it within a few sessions. 

The best red light therapy devices are made by BON CHARGE and you can use them yourself. They’re also ideal for reducing the appearance of stretch marks after birth.

Quit Smoking

Smoking can damage your skin in a number of ways. Smokers often get wrinkles sooner than they should and can even develop age spots more quickly. Your skin may also take on a yellowish tinge, especially around your mouth or fingers.

Stopping smoking could help to reverse the premature aging in your skin’s appearance. 

Eat and Drink Well

It’s important to have a balanced diet so your skin is getting the vitamins and nutrients it needs to remain healthy. A high fat or high sugar diet could contribute to the likeliness of developing acne and redness as both of these encourage inflammation. Try and eat your seven a day where you can.

Berries are a great choice for your skin because they contain antioxidants. It’s also vital that you drink plenty of water daily to flush away any bacteria that could harm your skin.

Cleansing Routine

Your skin is subject to so many harmful pollutants throughout the day. The second you walk out the door, your skin comes into contact with dirt, grime, and pollution in the atmosphere. When you come home, be sure to use a good cleansing routine on your skin every day.

You should be cleansing, toning, and moisturizing so your skin gets the best chance of remaining healthy and beautiful. As you cleanse, either use your hands or a cleansing cloth for the best results.
