Follow these simple tips to maintain clear, smooth skin as you age.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 30 minutes every day
Here's How:
- Stay out of the sun as much as possible.
- Apply sunscreen whenever you will be outdoors. Use a product that is at least SPF 15.
- Wear a hat while out in the sun.
- Stop smoking. Smoking robs your body of oxygen needed for cell repair.
- Drink at least eight, 10 ounce glasses of water daily. Water helps flush toxins from your body.
- Avoid using soap on your face as it can be very drying. Use a cleansing cream instead.
- Use a light, non greasy moisturizer everyday.
- Try to get enough sleep. Cell growth and repair are enhanced sleeping.
- Eat a balanced diet. Protein is essential for cell repair.
- Smile. Frowning causes wrinkles.
Tips:
- If you must be out in the sun, remember that early morning and late afternoon are the best times to be out.
- Don't skip sunscreen because it is cloudy or overcast. Damaging rays can still reach your skin.
- Remember, you can't stop the march of time, just slow it down.
