Did you know it takes 37 muscles to frown? When we smile, squint, frown or furrow our eyebrows, these facial contractions can lead to wrinkles over time. Wrinkles are a natural effect of aging, but there are steps we can take to keep our faces looking younger, longer!
Do-It-Yourself Remedies
In your late 20s and early 30s, you may start to notice faint lines around the mouth and eyes, which are likely to grow more prominent with time. Taking care of our skin from an early age can help fight off these premature wrinkles that affect our confidence. What can you do?
Use Sunscreen
Many of us love to lounge poolside in the warm sunshine, but the sun’s ultraviolet rays can have damaging effects, including premature aging. Protect your skin cells with high SPF sunscreen, even on cloudy days or when you’re out running errands.
Stay Hydrated
Our bodies are made up of 60 percent water, so it’s essential to keep them hydrated. Moisture keeps the skin looking radiant and prevents dryness. While the results of drinking water may not be obvious, it flushes our bodies of toxins that can cause skin breakouts.
Moisturize
Have a skincare regimen that cleans, exfoliates and tones. Always wash off the day’s makeup and apply moisturizer with anti-aging ingredients to keep skin hydrated and supple!
Eat Healthy
A healthy body starts from the inside. What we eat has an effect on our skin, so look for foods that are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that minimize cell damage, including:
- Leafy greens
- Fruit (i.e. berries)
- Fish with omega-3 (i.e. salmon)
- Nuts and seeds
