Look Younger Almost Immediately When You Do These Things

You can’t stop time, but you can turn back the clock to achieve more youthful-looking hair, hands, and skin. Read on to find out how you can achieve a younger looking appearance.

December 22, 2017

You can’t stop time, but you can turn back the clock to achieve more youthful-looking hair, hands, and skin. And you don’t need to submit yourself to plastic surgery, buy expensive salon treatments, or stock a medicine cabinet full of lotions and potions, either. All you need to do is examine your everyday habits and make simple anti-aging tweaks to your routine.

Look Younger Almost Immediately When You Do These Things
Watch your sodium intake
image

Eating salty foods can make you retain water, resulting in a puffy look—especially in the area below the eyes.

Banish the bloat by searching for hidden sources of sodium in your diet. Salt lurks everywhere—bread, cereal, condiments, sauces, deli meats, and even some sweet baked goods are loaded with it.

Avoid foods that stain your teeth

White teeth are seen as a sign of good health and youthfulness. Dark, hot, sticky foods like barbecue sauce or soy sauce are some of the worst stain-causing culprits, he says. Red wine, coffee, and cola are also notorious tooth-stainers.

Teeth-saving swaps are easy—and can be delicious. Instead of using barbecue sauce on your chicken breast, for example, top it with a fruity mango salsa or fresh herbs.

Do face yoga
image

Step away from the elliptical; it’s time to spend 20 minutes toning and tightening your face.

Face yoga strengthens your facial muscles and, as Danielle Collins – “the world’s leading face yoga expert” – tells Marie Claire, increases blood circulation in your face, which allows “more oxygen and nourishment to reach the cells of the skin”.

It can be as simple giving yourself a stress-busting massage of your jawline, or trying Collins’ “V” technique – a yogic trick she says is an “alternative to eye surgery”.

First, you press your two middle fingers at the corner of each of your eyebrows, then push your index fingers to the outer edges of eyebrows. This should make a ‘V’ on each eye.

Then, look up to the ceiling, raise the lower eyelids upwards, before squinting.

Do this six times and finish this exercise by closing your eyes tightly for 10 seconds.

Embrace acupuncture
image

This traditional form of Chinese medicine not only helps keep you balanced, but it can also work wonders on your skin.

It is believed the needles, which wake up your muscles, in this case, your face, can be used to treat dermatitis, acne, eczema and wrinkles, as well as strengthen general facial elasticity.

Limit white sugar
image

It’s tempting to add a teaspoon (or two) to tea or coffee, but research suggests that it is refined sugar that could be responsible for those fine lines on your forehead.

Processed sugar has been associated with dehydrating the skin, as well as eliminating the protein molecules, collagen and elastin it needs to ward off wrinkles, crinkles and creases.

Sometimes, it can be tricky to pare back on sugar, but, when you can, think about using stirring natural honey into your tea instead.

Laugh – and laugh some more
image

While you’d think being buckled over in a fit of laughter would crack a few crinkles across your skin, it’s actually the health benefits laughing can have on your body that’s been proven to keep you feeling (and looking) young and healthy.

Studies have shown that happy people who laugh a lot have lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol in their system, can improve people’s ability to learn and 10-15 minutes of giggling each day is said to burn up to 168 kilojoules.
