Everybody’s skin changes as they get older, and this is a completely natural process. Some people wear their wrinkles with pride, and they can add character and interest to the face. However, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to preserve a youthful complexion without resorting to invasive surgery. Here are a few ways to help keep your skin looking young.

 

  1. Protect your skin from sun damage

After a genetic predisposition to wrinkles, which is known as ‘intrinsic aging’ and can’t be changed, sun damage is the number one cause of prematurely aged skin. Regularly using skincare products which contain an SPF factor of between 30 and 50 will help protect the skin from UV rays. Wearing sunglasses and wide brimmed hats will also help.

Remember that even when the day seems cloudy or overcast, UV rays are still strong so it is essential to use a product with an SPF factor. This doesn’t have to be a sunscreen lotion, it could also be a multi-purpose serum, moisturiser, or foundation with built-in SPF.

 

  1. Choose creams which contain retinoids

Retinoids have been scientifically proven to increase collagen production, which is the protein which helps to keep skin smooth and supple. They also promote skin cell regeneration, which naturally slows as we age. Regularly using a product with retinoids will help to improve the overall texture and youthfulness of the skin.

 

  1. Stay hydrated and use moisturiser

Your skin needs hydration both from the inside and outside. Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent dry patches and flush away toxins. Apply a moisturiser as part of your daily skincare routine. Products which contain hyaluronic acid and vitamin C are particularly effective to form a barrier against lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
