We’ve nagged at you enough about the ill-effects of the sun and how important it is for you to use sunscreen. That said, we’ll save you the nagging and remind you instead that sunscreen is the cheapest anti-aging formula out there.
Water is one of the best ways to detox your body and keep it clear of acne and other skin problems. Plus, water helps to hydrate your organs and keep it running at full capacity so it functions its best. Ultimately, this helps you also lose weight much more easily.
Sugar compounds eat away at the collagen bonds that make your skin tight and taut. As your body gets older, your body’s natural collagen production slows down. So, if you’re eating a lot of sugary foods, you run the risk of reducing the amount of collagen in your skin greatly.
As mentioned earlier, collagen production slows down once you’ve hit the age of 20. In fact, according to research, the reduction slows down every 1 per cent each year.
Sleeping helps to renew cell production so your skin always looks good. You might think it doesn’t have a long lasting impact but in truth, getting enough sleep can have immediate impact on your skin.
Getting enough hydration can help with collagen production and reduce the amount of fine lines that show up on your skin.
As we’ve mentioned several times, your skin takes a while longer to heal once you’ve hit 20. Because of this, your skin is more prone to scarring so if you’re always picking at your pimples, they’ll never heal as nicely.
Exfoliate helps to boost collagen production and blood flow to your skin. Exfoliating also rids your skin of dead skin cells that could potentially clog pores.
We’re not saying you have to buy expensive skincare products or book yourself fancy spa treatments.
Taking care and pampering yourself could mean simply to get more sleep or applying an affordable face mask thrice a week. It could also mean eating well to ensure your skin doesn’t break out.
