We all want this,
To be mistaken for being younger.
Well, of course you don’t want to be getting asked for ID, but it’s always a compliment when someone thinks you’re younger than you are. Right, ladies? There comes a time when you start thinking about anti-ageing and investing in better skincare.
While we’re on the topic of anti-ageing products, let’s talk about the first step to the glowingly-youthful skin. That is, switching your regular skincare to an anti-ageing range.
Change your skincare to anti-ageing, then do these five things.
-
Use natural, anti-ageing skincare
You might not even realise that your regular moisturiser, cleanser or eye cream are causing you damage. Your skin needs naturally-based ingredients that help to empower your skin, not harm it. And good anti-ageing products are full of botanical ingredients, like antioxidants and vitamins.
-
Ditch the sugar
Are sugary treats a habit in your day? You might reconsider it, once you find out what sugar does to your skin. It breaks down, bonds with protein molecules, including collagen and elastin, the fibres that support your skin. This leads to wrinkles, especially if you’re not using anti-ageing products. Watch for the hidden sugar, too, like in muesli bars and bread.
-
Meditate, journal or go for walks
Find your relaxation technique to reduce your stress levels. When your body’s under pressure, it produces more cortisol, a hormone that also targets that much-needed collagen. Anti-ageing skincare is one way of combatting this but also do what you can to get your stress under control. Meditation, yoga, journaling, walking or listening to music are all great strategies.
-
Avoid diets
While it’s important to eat healthy, you shouldn’t fall into the trap of yo-yo dieting. This might cause the skin to sag, if you’re constantly losing then putting on weight. Again, sagging is something that anti-ageing products help to reduce, but they can only do so much.
-
Get enough sleep
If your body is tired, it’ll show on your skin first. It’s not called beauty sleep for no reason. But go one step further and maximise the hours you’re asleep by investing in an anti-ageing night cream (like Age IQ). It’s thicker and protects your face against the pillow and sheets – secret wrinkle creators.
-
The blues
No, we’re not talking about grooves, but rather, when your mental health is suffering. Just like there’s such a thing as smile wrinkles, the same can be said for frown lines. It can permanently create a line in your skin, especially if you’re not using an anti-ageing moisturiser. Depression and feeling down is linked to higher cortisol levels, which again, affects your collagen (as well as a reduction in growth hormone synthesis). When this happens, it’s harder for your body to repair itself at night – even if you’re using an anti-ageing night cream. If you’re feeling down, take the time to look after yourself.
