We all want to stay as youthful as we were back in our early twenties. In reality though, everyone ages and that means our skin looks a lot different in our latter years than it did in our youth.
However, just because you’re heading to those golden years, doesn’t mean you can’t look youthful and glowy. Having a youthful glow is something that can be done both naturally and with a bit of help on the side.
With that being said, here are some tips to achieve that skincare glow in your later years.
Stay hydrated
First and foremost, don’t forget to drink plenty of water. Our bodies are made up of mostly water and it’s an important contributor to keeping our skin plump and glowy. The more water you’re drinking, the more hydrated your skin is. Of course, be careful of just how much water you drink as you don’t want to give yourself water poisoning.
Around one to two liters of water will make a great difference to your skin, especially if you’ve not been drinking nearly enough as much as this.
Wear an SPF every day
SPF is something that is more than just a way of protecting your skin from burning, it’s also a preventative measure to skin damage. A lot of sun damage can cause you to look a lot older than you look and it can give your skin that leathery appearance.
As we know, leather doesn’t exactly glow, which is why it’s important to lather yourself with an SPF on a daily basis. Even if the sun isn’t shining, you should be applying it every day without fail – well at least to your face.
Look at collagen supplements
Collagen is something that our bodies have in abundance during our youth and it’s a production that deteriorates over the years. It’s important to look at boosting that lack of collagen through alternatives like supplements.
While you might not need a lot right now, it’s worth upping a dosage of supplements as you get older. The more collagen you can get into your body naturally is useful too so enjoy more organ meats and bone broth where possible.
Consider cosmetic procedures
Cosmetic procedures are that extra helping hand that some will need when there’s not enough collagen in the world to firm up the skin. From botox procedures to dermaplanning, Melrose Aesthetics is one of those cosmetic clinics that helps their clients to rejuvenate the skin.
While they may not be for everyone, the rise in cosmetic procedures is growing and it may be worth giving it a go if you’re interested.
Invest in a skincare routine
It’s important that you’re spending some time on your skincare routine. This is important in helping give your skin that extra boost here and there. From hydrating moisturizers to skin buffing exfoliators and deep-penetrating serums, it’s important to give them all a go in your skincare routine where you can.
Achieving that glow in your skin is still achievable regardless of age, it’s just knowing how!
