Keeping your skin healthy is a top priority for many people and as you get older, your complexion and elasticity start to change. This change can mean a drier appearance and the onset of fine lines and wrinkles in later life. Although the aging process is inevitable, there are some ways that you can try to hold of the process a little longer. There are no miracle cures but following some simple steps will help you gain youthful looking skin for as long as possible. Take a look at these easy ways to incorporate lifestyle and skincare changes for healthier and happier skin.
Wash your face regularly
Keeping your skin clean helps to keep breakouts at bay. Washing away dirt and impurities is the first fight against tackling lackluster skin plus using gentle cleansing products is less likely to dry your skin out. Washing your face in a circular motion also helps to lift excess dirt off the skin in a gentle way to avoid irritation. Being gentle with the skin helps to maintain its balance, which, in turn, reduces painful spots and keeps blemishes from appearing.
Eat a balanced diet
Healthy and younger looking skin starts from the inside, and if you eat tons of junk food, you’ll start noticing the effects quite quickly on your skin. A healthy diet will help to nourish your body on the inside and provide it with the essentials nutrients to replenish cells and flush out toxins. Moderation is key, and as long you are eating a combination of healthy fats, carbohydrates and vitamins, all while working out, having the odd piece of chocolate won’t harm you.
Avoid the sun
We all love getting a gorgeous glow when the sun comes out, but in fact, this is doing our skin more harm than good. The suns harmful rays can actually dry the skin out and make the aging process appear faster. The collagen fibers in your skin are broken down, and this affects the elasticity of your skin, which keeps your skin firm and supple. To help prevent this, applying a high SPF sunscreen is advisable at all times including days where the sun isn’t out. Prevention is always the best cure so start children young and educate them on the harmful effects of the suns rays and ensure they wear SPF and a hat when in direct sunlight.
Seek professional help
Sometimes you have small issues with your skin that can knock your confidence. Speaking to a professional can solve many of these problems and help you get back on track to a happier lifestyle. For people that suffer from rosacea and legs veins, a visit to Dr Newmans Clinic can offer effective treatments to give your skin a new lease of life.
Implementing small changes into your lifestyle can see you reap the rewards in a short space of time. Prevention is always the best cure so staying focused and maintaining long-term health goals will see you looking younger for longer.
