No matter how confident we
grew up feeling that we will not allow age to bring us down, with due time, you
start realizing that it’s a painful feeling to work with, accepting signs of
aging on your face.
However, there are many
things you can do to keep yourself from aging at a normal rate. You will age,
but the wrinkles and the skin of your face is very manageable with some work
from your end.
It is kind of like working
out and taking supplements to build endurance and strength. Your skin is
constantly under a lot of stress because of the many expressions we make and
the external damage from UV rays and pollution. Below are the top 5 practices
that will help you retain your youth, or at least rejuvenate your skin.
Yoga
Yoga comes with its fair
share of anti-aging benefits. It will help you limber up, increase your body’s
flexibility like that of a young adult’s, release hormones that have anti-aging
properties in the brain, and more than that, it helps you clear your head up
and relax through deep stretching.
Meditate
Meditation can increase
your telomerase production, which, when shortened, can accelerate the overall
aging process.
So increased telomerase
equals increased age retention.
According to this research,
your brain releases certain hormones that help reduce the aging effect on the
face. The same hormones are responsible for kids playing as well. Just be sure
to get in 15 minutes of meditation, and you are good to go.

Red Light Therapy
Red Light Therapy is
regarded as the new anti-aging gimmick that actually works. And it’s gaining
fame at a rapid pace, mainly because it works. People also use light therapy for psoriasis, which means it has positive effects on your skin.
So the science behind red
light therapy’s anti-aging property comes from the energy your skin’s cells
receive. There are many different lights for different applications, but red
light’s 660-810 nm wavelength enables it to reduce fine line, crow’s feet, and
wrinkles by generating more skin protein like collagen and elastic and by
stimulating dermis cells.
Gift
Your Skin with Everything It Needs
There are so many things
your skin needs, and there are so many harmful externalities that affect your
skin. First and foremost, get a generously sized dab of sunscreen and lather it
all over your face before getting out of the house.
Use eye creams, day
creams, and night creams. Get moisturized on the daily. And shower every day.
Take your vitamins and
calcium supplements, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. I find vegans to
possess healthy looking fresh skin for their dietary lifestyle. After all,
veggies and fruits are rich with antioxidants, and we all know that’s important
for luscious skin. And don’t forget collagen boosting food and supplements.
Try to get at least 8 hours
of sleep every night. And last but not least, exercise. Working out is directly
correlated to retaining the health of your skin, increases lifespan, and keeps
your waistline age-friendly.
Cut
Out The Toxins
When I say toxins, I mean
everything, when you are eating your masala chicken from your favorite Indian
place, or smoking cigarettes to kill stress, drinking alcohol to forget your
age, and even subjecting yourself to sleep deprivation.
The habits as mentioned
above (if you have any) need to be put to an end. Not only will it rapidly
accelerate the aging process, but it leads to high levels of stress.
Take-Home Message
So these are some of the
hacks you can implement in your everyday life without much hassle or extra
money. So do these, avoid the things I asked you to avoid.
Get a lot of workout done.
It’s scientifically proven to have a rejuvenating effect on you, and finally,
just chill! Because worrying will bring in more stress and cortisol, which
would be counterproductive for you.
