Beginner Anti-Aging Tips for Younger Looking Skin

If you desire younger looking skin, but have never spent too much time on skincare, the many anti-aging options out there can easily become overwhelming. Starting an anti-aging routine does not have to be complicated, but it should be followed with commitment. It’s easy to add in targeted treatments as you become better acquainted with your skin and your skin concerns, but it’s important to know, and live by, the basics. To feel youthful for the years to come, always keep these three skincare tips as a part of your basic daily routine.

1. SPF: Applying SPF every single day is essential in helping take care of your skin’s appearance. Sun damage can cause wrinkles, lines, sunspots and pose as a hazard to your overall health. Protecting yourself from harsh rays should be a top of mind priority when it comes to skin care – and when it comes to maintaining a youthful appearance. Look for facial oils and moisturizers that contain SPF like Age Perfect® Hydra-Nutrition Facial Oil with SPF 30. If you can find multiple products, facial oils, moisturizers, tinted moisturizers or foundations for example, that contain SPF it is okay to use them all. Layering your sun protection will only better shield you from potential harm, in case you happen to miss a spot with your first or second product application. Also, be sure to apply SPF to any part of your body that is not covered from the sun. Your neck, chest and hands show signs of aging just as your face does. Neglecting these other parts of your body will hinder your attempts to maintain a youthful look overall.

2. Cleansing: There is nothing more aging than built up dirt on the skin. That skin congestion is built up from more than just makeup, but oils, sweat and environmental pollutants as well. A basic step that is a part of any skin care routine is cleansing in the morning and at night. Implementing this step will wash away the collection of dirt on the skin, preventing a dull, tired looking appearance and instead produce a more youthful glow. Clean skin also better helps other anti-aging products absorb deeper into the layers of the skin. Be sure you have sufficiently cleansed the skin, some people like to first remove their makeup with a facial wipe and then wash the skin with a foaming cleanser if your skin is oily or a cream cleanser, like Age Perfect® Hydra-Nutrition Daily Cleanser if your skin tends to be more dry.

3. Moisturizing: Once skin is fresh and clean always replenish it with any moisture lost by applying a day cream in the morning and a night cream before bed. Hydrating your skin replenishes moisture, reduces the appearance of fine lines and aids in cell turnover. Moisturizing is important for all skin types, including those with oily skin. Look for a moisturizing method that matches your skin type and take your daily climate into consideration as well. Don’t limit yourself to creams, expand into facial oils too which plump and nourish skin before any moisturizer is applied. When you are ready to put on your cream, massage it into the face with upward, outward motions to encourage skin to fight against gravity and sagging. Age Perfect® Hydra-Nutrition Face, Neck and Chest Balm nourishes dry skin with calcium and precious oils.

Looking youthful is connected with feeling youthful. Take charge of your skincare journey ahead and incorporate these easy steps into your everyday. As you become more comfortable, and find you enjoy taking the time to care for yourself and your skin, expand your horizons into eye creams, serums, exfoliators and more. Anti-aging skincare can be very rewarding when keeping in mind and starting with the basics.
