Aging gracefully starts with caring for your skin today! Here’s how you can protect and nurture your skin as you age.
Use SPF Daily
If you want to make sure that you protect your skin as much as possible then one thing you need to watch out for is the sun. The sun can cause you a world of skin issues, not to mention that it can also greatly increase the risk of you experiencing skin cancer. If you want to help yourself then as an obvious rule, you need to wear sunscreen daily. I love these universal tinted sunscreens from DRMTLGY that protect against UVA, UVB, infrared radiation, and blue light:
- Dewy Finish – Universal Tinted Sunscreen, SPF 48: A lightweight tinted moisturizer with broad spectrum SPF 46 packed with a blend of nourishing and hydrating ingredients for sheer, dewy coverage. Blends naturally to match all skin tones leaving a natural, healthy glow. Features hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3).
- Matte Finish – Universal Tinted Sunscreen, SPF 48: Everything you love about the original dewy finish tinted sunscreen- now enhanced with oil-absorbing properties and a velvety, soft-focus finish. This breathable tinted moisturizer has broad-spectrum SPF 46, and is packed with hydrating ingredients. The sheer coverage visibly evens out skin, seamlessly blending in to match all skin tones. Infused with a blend of hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and a high concentration of niacinamide (vitamin B3).
Don’t Smoke
Believe it or not, smoking is the best way for you to make your skin look older. It is also a main contributor to wrinkles. When you smoke, you will find that the tiny blood vessels in the skin decrease blood flow and this makes your skin a lot paler. This also depletes your skin of vital oxygen which is something you need to watch out for. If you want to help yourself then make sure that you do everything you can to give up. If you don’t then this could have dire consequences for your future.

Treat Your Skin Gently
Shaving and daily cleansing, although very important, can take its toll on your skin. If you want to help yourself here then one thing you need to do is avoid strong soap. You also need to make sure that you avoid detergent too. This can strip oil from your skin and it can also make it much more difficult for you to get the result you are looking for. When shaving, be sure to shave in the direction that your hair is growing rather than against it. If you want some professional help to restore your skin then one thing you can do is look into Elan Skin & Laser treatment,
Manage Stress
Managing stress is so important at the end of the day. If you have uncontrolled stress then this will make your skin far more sensitive and it can also trigger a range of acne breakouts. If you want to help yourself here then you need to take steps to manage your stress. You also need to set reasonable limits and make time to do all of the things that you love and enjoy. If you can do this then you are bound to see an improvement in your health which is so important at the end of the day.
Eat Well
Lastly, make sure you’re eating well. If you don’t eat well then this can lead to a world of issues with your gut health as well as your mental health. Take the time to eat lots of vegetables and ensure you’re not overlooking how important it is for you to eat lots of protein. If you can do this then you will soon notice an improvement in your mental health, as well as your physical health. Make sure you look into this today as it could make a major difference to the way you feel.
