Best Anti-aging Secrets
We all want to look younger, maintain firm, youthful-looking skin, and have a radiant glow. When it comes to anti-aging, we should not leave it to our older generation, but the moment you hit your 20s, that is the perfect time to start looking into maintaining your firm appearance.
Furthermore, when we get to our 20s, natural ingredients that help our skin maintain its youthfulness and radiance begin to deplete, so it is imperative to replenish those ingredients.
What Is Anti-aging?
Simply put, it is the process by which we prevent our collagen from breaking down prematurely. That is not to say our age will not catch up with us, but we can still look youthful in our 60s and 70s. But mostly in your mid-30s up until your early 60s – you want to maintain that youthful appearance. I have heard people in their mid-40s complain about wrinkles and how to get rid of them – that should not be the case.
In this blog post, I will give you straightforward steps and practical things you can do to keep premature aging at bay and maintain a youthful look into your 60s.
Best Anti-aging Secrets
You want to take care of your collagen production. Collagen keeps our skin firm and bouncy; you see wrinkles and fine lines when collagen breaks down. With that in mind, you want to use skincare ingredients to help produce collagen in the skin. I will give you the best anti-aging secrets you won’t get anywhere else – these do not include botox or going under the knife – these tips are simple, and with consistency, you will see an improvement in your skin and health.
Retinoids: Use retinoids to help with collagen production in the skin’s dermis. Retinoids go deep into the skin and help with collagen production to help reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines. Most dermatologists recommend retinoids as a safe alternative when treating profound wrinkles. But remember, not all retinol is created equal. For example, suppose you are looking to treat deep wrinkles. In that case, you may opt for a prescription All-Trans-Retinoic Acid, or you may opt for the over-the-counter option called Retinaldehyde, which you can get from The Ordinary as Granactive Retinoid Emulsion.
If you have sensitive skin, you may use Retinal Palmitate instead of the stronger version of retinol. Be consistent in your treatment, and you will see your wrinkles reduce.
Vitamin C: Also, Vitamin C is an essential ingredient that helps the Amino acids, Copper, and Zinc in our skin to produce collagen in the skin. You may use Vitamin C serum to help you produce collagen in your skin.
Peptides For Firm Skin
Peptides are multiple amino acids that help produce collagen and elastin in the skin. Also, Peptides are more than one amino acid put together to form a peptide chain – they formulate these peptide chains to deal with wrinkles and fine lines in the skin specifically. Examples of these commonly used peptides include Matrixyl 3000, Matrixyl, and copper peptides. Also, you may use Argireline peptide.
Antioxidants For Ageless Skin
An antioxidant serum is a powerful way to ensure your skin maintains youthful health. Antioxidants help neutralize the free radicals responsible for damaging our skin cells. Again, an antioxidant serum neutralizes those free radicals and ensures your skin cells are healthy. Examples of antioxidants include Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Ferulic acid, Resveratrol, Green tea extract serum, CoQ10, and Niacinamide.
Hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid helps pull moisture from the atmosphere and holds the water in the skin, plumping it and making it look full, bouncy, and healthy.
Healthy Lifestyle: Lastly, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and avoid smoking, alcohol, and tanning beds. Apply sunscreen when going out or wear a baseball cap to shield your face from the harmful UVA/UVB sun rays. Maintain a healthy diet of proteins, vitamins, and minerals – and drink plenty of water. Also, get your ‘beauty sleep.’
