Fight signs of aging with these tips and tricks!

Aging happens to everyone, but your changing skin can be difficult to accept. While you cannot completely avoid aging, there are some things you can do to combat signs of aging on your skin. Your skin care products like face wash, stress, or even your dietary habits can impact the appearance of your skin. 

Follow these steps to revive your youthful glow, starting with using the right face wash to fight signs of aging every day!

The Best Face Wash for Aging Skin

Just because you’ve passed your acne-prone teenage years doesn’t mean your skin is perfect. Keeping a highly maintained skin care routine, adjusting for your changing skin needs will give you the best results. You should always, at the least, wash your face to remove the dirt and debris that accumulates throughout your day. 

The keys to battle aging with skincare are hydration and antioxidants. As you age, your skin becomes less elastic and more prone to damage from outside irritants like pollution and free radicals, so you want to protect it at all costs! 

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera extract is an ultra-moisturizing ingredient, rich in antioxidants to soothe and protect your skin. You may know it as a sunburn soother for this reason! It is so effective in calming red, irritated skin, refining pores, and fighting free radicals. In a face wash, aloe vera acts as a skin-soothing essential that also refines pores, which is why it’s in WOW Skin Science's Aloe Vera Face Wash! Keep skin supple with this anti-aging must-have!

Vitamin C

Vitamin C does not only come from the oranges you eat, it can also be infused into skincare products to brighten, protect, and even out skin tone. Your skin can become dull and lose resilience as you age, so using our Vitamin C Foaming Face Wash will cleanse, purify pores, and renew skin to brighten dark spots, acne scars, and hyper pigmentation. 


Steps to Make Skin Look Younger

Anti-aging routines are more than just skincare! Here are other steps you can take to help your skin look younger.


Drink Water

It may seem obvious, but is something most people lack. Drinking more water helps you naturally flush the toxins out of your body, and hydrates to make your skin look less sallow, and plumper. The aesthetic nature of more hydrated cells is nice, but it also creates a stronger barrier to the outside world so that your skin is safe from environmental stressors.  Drinking water is a simple, yet important step to so many bodily functions, including protecting your skin’s youthful glow. 


Retinoids

Retinoids have been shown to be one of the most effective ingredients in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They do this by increasing your natural collagen production to make your skin look smoother. It also helps your skin cells renew faster to heal scars, fill out fine lines, and give you an even skin tone. 


Boost Collagen 

Collagen is a protein that is used to build tissues in your body, including in muscles and skin. It’s responsible for skin structure, keeping it elastic and working at its finest. As you age, your collagen naturally decreases, so you can take steps to increase your collagen levels as you get older. 

There are some ways to get more collagen, including collagen powders that you can put into food or drinks. Another way is to use skincare products with collagen infused in them so it goes straight to the skin. Either way may be helpful to improve the youth of your skin. 


Wear Sunscreen

One of the biggest mistakes you can make when it comes to your skin is not wearing sunscreen! The sun’s UV rays cause damage to your skin with harmful free radicals, making your skin age prematurely and increase your risk for skin cancers. To prevent this from happening, include sunscreen in your daily routine. The American Academy of Dermatology suggests wearing a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with at least 30 SPF, reapplying every 2 hours. 

Avoid Excess Salt

Excess salt in your diet can cause a whole slew of issues including high blood pressure and increased water retention. Excess salt can also make your skin appear puffy, and not in a youthful way. To avoid this less than preferable appearance, you can reduce your salt intake. While you should aim to meet the necessary amount (which isn’t hard to do), you should do your best to avoid consuming salt in excessive quantities. An easy way to do this is to avoid adding extra salt to dishes, avoid already prepared foods, and salt-heavy junk food like chips. 


Get Adequate Sleep 

Getting your beauty rest has never been so real. Sleep is important to your body’s natural function, and is the peak time for skin rejuvenation, too. Getting enough sleep has even been shown to improve skin’s moisture and its ability to heal more effectively. Even if getting a full night's sleep can be difficult, do your best to get those full eight hours to rejuvenate your body, mind, and skin. You can use Lavender Essential Oil to help calm and bring quality sleep every night!

***

Having youthful skin does not have to cost a million bucks. Time and dedication to your health and well-being will pay off in having well-hydrated, youthful skin. 

All of these steps can play a huge role in supporting your skin health, so whether you try one or all, you should be proud that you are taking matters into your own hands.
