Top 3 Beauty Tips to Aging Gracefully

We are all getting older day by day, and with it brings changes to our bodies and overall appearance. From fine lines and wrinkles to saggy skin, no one can escape from the natural aging process. Still, there are some methods that can help you slow down this inevitable process and maintain your youthful look. 

Try them for yourself! Follow these three beauty tips to aging gracefully:

1.  Reduce Wrinkles with Retinoids
If and when you start to notice the development of wrinkles, you should invest in an anti-aging skin care product that contains retinoids. Retinoids—the overarching term for the active ingredient retinol—are an effective way to combat signs of aging. Derived from vitamin A, this ingredient works to increase the collagen production in your body, which helps to plump the skin. 

And it doesn’t stop there! Retinoids are also responsible for developing new blood vessels, allowing you to achieve a healthy, rosy complexion overtime. So, by incorporating a retinoid skin care product into your regime—whether it be a prescription anti-aging cream with tretinoin (retin-A) or another over-the-counter retinol treatment—it’ll be easier for you to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and other tell-tale signs of aging.

2.  Get Enough Sleep at Nighttime
By now, you’ve probably heard of the term ‘beauty sleep,’ but do you know why that is? Because the hours you spend snoozing is the time your body spends rebuilding and bettering itself for the following days to come. Specifically, as you rest, your body releases a hormone that serves to restore the elastin and collagen in your body—both of which are two essential building blocks to preserving your youthful-looking complexion. This explains why when you don’t get enough sleep, it shows.

Aside from just that, getting the right amount of hours of sleep at night can also speed up skin cell turnover. As explained by Jeanine Downie, MD, director of Image Dermatology in Montclair, “If you don’t get enough sleep, your skin won’t renew itself and will start looking dull—especially as you age, when cell turnover is slowing down.” For this reason, no matter how chaotic your schedule gets, try and aim to get anywhere from seven to nine hours of sleep per night as this will keep you feeling good, and looking good in the long run. 

3. Shield Your Skin from the Sun
Don’t be mistaken, there is nothing wrong with soaking up the vitamin D that comes from the sun, especially during the warmer months. However, it’s important that regardless of how much time you spend outdoors—or even indoors for that matter—you’re still taking the proper precautions by shielding your skin from the dangerous ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Both UVA and UVB rays are extremely powerful at penetrating and damaging your skin. Too much exposure to either type of radiation can lead to negative short-term and long-term effects including: sunburn, sunspots, hyperpigmentation, melasma, sagging and other signs of premature aging, and in some cases, skin cancer. 

That said, remember to always apply sunscreen or SPF as the last step of your skin care routine in the morning. Even if you do not plan on soaking up the sun outside, UV radiation can still find a way to get to you from the inside of your house and cause the same harmful effects. To ensure you’re fully shielded from the sun, stick to a sunscreen or other product with an SPF of at least 30 on a daily basis, and an SPF 60 or greater on the days in which you plan to spend outside, as this will further ensure your complexion is fully protected.

Aging is something that, like it or not, we all have to endure overtime. But luckily, with these three tips, you can gracefully delay this process. As you continue throughout the years, don’t forget to remind yourself about the tips listed above and take full advantage of the benefits that come with them. It doesn’t matter if you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s, there is no better time than now to incorporate these practices into your everyday routine. So get started today!
