4 Simple Lifestyle Changes That Make You Look Younger
Posted on August 06th, 2015 by Dr. William Franckle
Some signs of aging are genetic, but others can be combated by making simple lifestyle changes. Modifying the amount of sleep you get, your skincare routine, and even how you care for your teeth can help you look younger naturally.
Get Enough Sleep
Tired, sagging eyes with bags or dark circles can add years to your appearance. Protect your youthful look by getting enough rest. Sleep helps in more ways than one; getting a fully restorative 8 hours each night will improve your overall health and boost your energy levels, resulting in a more lively and dynamic appearance.
Take Care of Your Teeth
Young teeth look even, white, and healthy. Avoid foods that can stain your teeth, and make sure to brush and floss regularly. Clean, healthy teeth can go a long way to making you look younger, and good dental health is an important part of an overall wellness strategy.
Wear Sunscreen
Applying sunscreen every day can help combat both life-threatening skin cancer and the fine lines and wrinkles caused by sun damage. Make a broad spectrum sunblock with 30SPF part of your daily grooming routine to protect your skin from wrinkles and dark spots. Your age shows on more than your face, so treat all surfaces of your body that will be exposed to the sun, including your hands.
Modify Your Daily Skincare Routine
Aging skin needs different care and different products to stay healthy and looking youthful. If you’ve been using the same routine and products since you were in your teens, it is probably time for a change. Add an exfoliating product to your routine to slough away aged cells and reveal the more youthful skin below, and treat your skin to an anti-oxidant packed moisturizer to maintain a more youthful look.
These simple adjustments to your daily routine can make a big impact on your appearance overtime. If you are concerned with deeper wrinkles on your face, combining these steps with a Botox and/or Injectable Filler treatment plan may get you the results you are hoping for.
