While everyone gets older, a lot of people tend to fear the process because society focuses so much on maintaining that youthful glow. However, you can embrace the process of getting older by learning how to evolve. The evolution of your appearance also relies heavily on the practices you choose to maintain. If you're looking for noninvasive ways to improve your skin health and appearance, consider some of the most effective options. The image source is Pexels.
1. Skin Peels
As a person gets older, the production of collagen slows down. The skin cell turnover rate gets slower. As a result, it's much easier for skin to look dull. For fresh, dewy skin, you'll need to increase the cell turnover rate. One of the best ways to do this is through the application of peels. Exfoliating peels and chemical peels help to uncover a new layer of fresh skin that's unmarred by scarring or other visible skin ailments. Depending on the type of peel you choose, you'll have specific instructions regarding being in the sun, washing the face and more.
2. Microcurrent Facials
The eyes are one of the first places to show signs of aging. Hooded eyes and saggy skin around the eyes can make a person look a lot older than they are. If you're feeling insecure about this area, you can get a microcurrent facial to provide a visible lift to saggy eye skin. Microcurrent devices also work to sculpt the jawbones and cheeks in order to get that svelte, chiseled shape. It's even effective for brightening the skin and smoothing out unevenly-textured skin.
3. LED Therapy
LED therapy is effective because it sends a specific type of light to the mitochondria. This process encourages the cells to regenerate at a faster pace. In addition to producing more collagen and elastin, this process heals acne, produces brighter skin tones and evens out skin textures. There are different types of LED therapy for skin care needs: red, blue and infrared.
4. At-Home Skin Care Regimen
Never underestimate the power of an at-home skincare routine. Whether you're preparing for the start of a new day or the end of an old one, maintain skincare routines for both times. In the morning, you'll typically include an SPF because the sun's out. In the evening, it's pretty common to add an overnight serum or cream for a more thorough job. Your skincare routine needs to reflect the concerns you have. Those who suffer from hyperpigmentation will need a different routine than those who deal with rosacea or dry skin. Read the product labels, do your research and invest in the products that are known to provide the results you're looking for.
5. GuaSha Practice
Whether you suffer from puffiness, fine lines or other skin concerns, many of those issues can be corrected with a good Gua Sha practice. Invest in a Gua Sha tool. Research a few tutorials that show you how to move the tool over your skin. It's best to purchase a light facial oil to help the tool glide over your skin. A Gua Sha practice is effective in helping with circulation, tightening and toning of the skin. It's also a form of lymphatic massage. It can even help with shaping and slimming the face.
6. Hydration and Diet
What you put inside of your body has a direct correlation to how your skin looks. So many chronic diseases and ailments are connected to the inflammation in a person's body. By focusing on anti-inflammatory foods, you'll give your skin the nutrients it needs in order to glow. Avoid inflammatory foods like dairy, sodium and high amounts of sugar. Avoid alcohol, smoking and sugar-filled juices. Instead, drink a lot of water each day, plan your meals and consume supplements and vitamins. When you give your skin a healthy foundation from an internal perspective, the external appearance will reflect that.
Conclusion
You don't have to go under the knife in order to look your best. The key is to find a regimen. Once you're consistent with a specific routine, you'll be able to reap the benefits. On days when you'd like to skip your at-home routine or skip a facial, always remember that the results are found in your willingness to show up each time. When you develop the regimen and see the results, you'll proudly be able to age like a fine glass of wine.
