7 Ways to Work on the Visible Signs of Aging

Candy WashingtonComment

Hi lovelies,

We live in a society where aging isn’t always something we embrace. It’s likely that you’ll have your own opinions on this – and that’s okay. But many of us don’t welcome any of the visible (or physical) signs of aging when they crop up. From changes to your skin and hair – not to mention the way you feel in your body – it can be a lot to take on. While some of us may plan to age gracefully and take everything in our stride as it comes, that’s not always the option all of us want to take. Plus, when you’re someone who likes to take care of themselves, it’s only natural to want to ensure that you’re aging in a way that feels right to you.

However, one of the things that you may find you come up against is what you’re meant to do about it. There’s endless advice on social media about the latest hacks and what treatments you should get in order to kick aging to the kerb and look as youthful as possible. But how much of it can you trust? And how do you know if it’s right for you? In this blog post, we’re going to take a look at seven of the best ways to take on the visible signs of aging.


1. Hydrate Yourself
First of all, one the the best things you can do to prevent the visible signs of aging or slow them down, is to hydrate! Being hydrated comes with so many benefits. From proper brain function to improved digestion, there are many reasons why you need to make sure you’re getting your eight glasses of water a day. But it also increases the elasticity and plumpness in the skin, which can help the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and give you that healthy glow!


2. Get Enough Sleep
Up next, we have sleep. If you’re sleep deprived, it can often show! Not only will you feel exhausted, low in energy, and hungrier, but it can also affect your skin! When we sleep, our cells rejuvenate, and we’re also producing collagen. This is why you need to work on your evening routine and look to get more quality sleep!


3. Avoid Stress
From here, you’re then going to want to make sure that you’re staying away from stress. Stress may feel like a mental issue, but it vastly affects the body. If you’re dealing with a lot of stress in your life, it could be affecting your physical health and contributing to the visible signs of aging. Looking to avoid stress should be at the top of your list here. Some of the simplest ways to do this include taking breaks, avoiding negative situations, setting boundaries, and finding healthy ways to cope with difficulties in life.


4. Eat a Healthy Diet
Just like water, a lot of your skincare health starts from within. So here, you will hugely benefit from eating a healthy diet. There is a range of foods that support healthy skin that you need to focus on. With healthy fats, leafy greens, and proteins, your skin will benefit hugely. Looking to eat an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant diet will help slow down the visible signs of aging too.


5. Take Supplements
You will also benefit from taking the right supplements to support your health. While you will be getting a lot of benefits from the food you eat, you can always top that up with key vitamins and dietary supplements. When you opt for things like c60 oil, you’ll be adding to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of your diet. You can then top up on anything that you may not be getting enough of from your food.


6. Get Treatments
Then we have treatments. While it’s important to find the right treatments for you and not just go with what’s currently trending, you should still be looking to add treatments to your routine. They might be monthly or seasonally, but the right facial treatment could really do your skin wonders!


7. Use the Right Skincare
Finally, you are going to want to make sure that you’re using the right skincare too. The actual products you use will very much depend on your skin type and what you’re looking to achieve. The best thing you can do here is speak to a dermatologist. That way, you can get a personalized skincare regimen. With the right cleaner, active ingredients, moisturizer, and mask, you should find that you get the glow you’re looking for!
