3 Anti-Aging Tips that Don’t Cost a Fortune

Let’s face it – we would all love to drink from the fountain of youth and avoid aging altogether. But seeing as this isn’t exactly a realistic option, it’s up to you to take steps to care for your skin and body to avoid premature aging.

And the sooner you start the better – none of us are getting any younger after all! So we’ve pin-pointed these anti aging tips that you can start doing straight away to keep those little wrinkles at bay!

Anti Aging Tip #1: Make Sun Protection a Priority

To avoid the damaging effects of the sun, here are some anti aging tips that you can easily begin: prevent your exposure as much as you can!

We don’t mean anything as drastic as spending the rest of your days in a darkened room… But when you know you’re going to be spending some time in the sun, make sure to cover up with protective clothing and broad spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF (think factor 50).

It’s also a good idea to wear a hat and sunglasses for added coverage.

Sun Exposure Makes Your Skin Look Older

Premature aging of the skin from the sun is referred to as photoaging. Photoaging is simply a characteristic change to the skin caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Visible symptoms of photoaging include discoloration, textural changes, as well as wrinkles and fine lines.

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty of the problem. Exposure to UV light breaks down your skin’s connective tissue — collagen and elastin fiber – which lie in the deeper layer of skin. Without this supportive connective tissue, your skin loses strength and flexibility. This is when sagging and wrinkles appear prematurely.

It Also Weakens Your Skin

UV exposure also means that the outer layer of the skin becomes thinner and weaker, compromising its ability to hold on to moisture and essential vitamins.

When the skin’s structure lacks these essential components, the healing process slows down. This is when you might notice the development of dry, irritated skin which is more prone to tearing, bruising, and scarring.

Anti Aging Tip #2: Upgrade Your Skin Care Routine

A good quality skincare routine that contains high quality ingredients will also help to promote collagen generation and provide added nourishment for your skin.

Look for products that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and essential fatty acids, which help to boost the skin’s elasticity (thereby reducing the occurrence of wrinkles and fine lines).

Healthier Skin Starts with a Good Routine

The aging process means that your skin naturally becomes less elastic and more fragile as the years go by. A decrease in the production of natural oils dries your skin and makes it appear more wrinkled.

Fat in the deeper layers of your skin diminishes. This causes loose, saggy skin and more-pronounced lines and crevices.

But it’s not all doom and gloom – here’s another pointer to add to your anti aging tips arsenal: Implement a quality skincare routine – like Metrin Skincare System for Her

By taking care of your skin, you’ll see visible improvements in the health of your skin, including a reduction in those pesky wrinkles and fine lines. Let me explain how it all works.

Exfoliation is Your Friend

Regular, gentle exfoliation will help enhance your skin’s natural exfoliation process.

Ideally, it’s best to use a gentle, non-abrasive, liquid exfoliant that will aid your skin’s natural process of shedding dead skin cells while also stimulating new cell renewal. Your skin will be softer, smoother and less prone to wrinkles and fine lines.

Anti Aging Tip #3: Reduce your Alcohol and Sugar Consumption

So here’s our final key anti aging tip. We’re not saying you should kiss goodbye to the odd glass of wine – but be mindful of drinking lots of water to combat the dehydrating effect of alcohol.

And also consider your drink of choice when it comes to your incidental sugar consumption!

Go Easy on the Alcohol

Excessive alcohol consumption is a no-no when it comes to keeping your skin looking youthful. Alcohol dehydrates the skin, and in time, can cause damage.

Lack of proper hydration weakens your skin’s permeability barrier (acid mantle), which reduces your skin’s ability to protect itself from outside factors.

Many alcoholic beverages also contain high levels of sugar, or are consumed with other sugary drinks like soda, juice, or even syrups. Sugar causes an insulin spike in your body, which can lead to inflammation – both inside and out.

When the skin is inflamed, it’s more susceptible to premature aging and acne breakouts.

Especially If You Have Rosacea

Another condition affected by the consumption of alcohol is rosacea, or flushing of red on the cheeks and nose. People are born with a genetic predisposition to rosacea, but alcohol consumption can trigger it to become even worse.
