Eight Techniques to Appear Youthful for Life
hey guys today I'm gonna give you some dam
secrets for keeping your skin looking young stuff we want to start in your 20s
that is gonna pay off dividends for years to come but the tips I'm gonna give
you a today's blog I mean you don’t I'd be in your 20s to do these things you
should be doing them and I say skincare in your twenties because when I look at
my demographics on Blogsite that is my youngest audience category.
The stuff that I’m telling you in today's blog is for everybody first and foremost is protecting your skin from the Sun 80% of skin aging has to do with ultraviolet radiation that includes ultraviolet radiation that is present on cloudy days when it's gray outside and also ultraviolet radiation that comes through window glass this can damage the collagen and the deeper layers of your skin it's not necessarily gonna burn your skin.
You're not even going to be aware that it's
going on but it's aging your skin it's causing free radical damage that is going
to show up as a wrinkles fine lines and dis pigmentation so protecting your
skin from the Sun is imperative and that includes wearing a broad spectrum SPF
30 to 50 sunscreen every single day but don't just stop with sunscreen make
sure you wear a broad brimmed hat that really can protect you not only from
aging but also from skin cancer.
The broader the brim the better you need to get some big sunglasses that will cover your eyes and the sides around the sides and protect your eyes from the Sun not only to protect you against those crow's feet from developing but also against skin cancers really comment around the eyes no sunscreen and sunglasses and a big hat beyond the damage that Sun causes to your skin though as far as those wrinkles whether they be crow's feet or on the eyes or wrinkles around the mouth Brown lines also taken.
I have a blog on but when we Crane our neck to look
down at a computer screen it causes wrinkles that can become more prominent
with time any repetitive motion it’s going contribute to those wrinkles that
accumulate with time I train yourself to relax your face facial expressions are
really important in conversation and conveying ideas and communicating but you
can train yourself to relax your face.
Also not to use those muscles as much and this
is it helpful because a lot of times we're flexing the muscles so who don't
even realize it we’re concentrating we're reading an email and nobody's looking
at us but we’re frowning or grimacing and we don’t necessarily need to do that
so training yourself to move your face box can actually help holding a lot of tension
in your face also can be bad if you suffer from heavy headaches.
Some lot tension headaches from focusing in a
computer you're all hunched over number three is your sleep that needs to be
dialed down and when you're in your 20s you know that's kind of why I wanted to
carry this to you guys all these tips are preventative and when you're in your
20s that is the that's a good time to really push yourself to build a good
sleep routine and to preserve your sleep quality at night and make sure you’re
getting good sleep you know.
When I was in my 20s I remember kind of bragging
and amongst friends we were bragging to one another about how little sleep we
could get by on boy do I regret that because with time that sleep deprivation
shows up on your face it's actually been shown that sleep deprivation results in
accelerated skin aging more dramatic appearance of some of the visible signs of
aging like bags under the eyes eight hours of sleep should be the goal nine is
perfect.
If you can get nine a night who you are winning
that is amazing and keep that preserve that hold on to it treasure it tips for getting
that nine hours of sleep shut the world out about an hour before you want to go
to bed this is imperative and by to shut the world out I mean no screens the blue
light from the screens tricks your brain into staying awake longer you don't need
that turn everything off, you know and have some relaxing music and read a book.
This can help you transition to sleep just the eye movement back and forth can lull you to sleep your diet clean it up in your 20s clean up your diet you're busy you're trying to get your career off or maybe you're starting a family and so you know you start cutting corners and one of the first things people do outside slacking on their sleep quality is to cut corners with their diet and rely on convenience food and nothing will age you faster than a trashy diet for that you make it a priority.
At least get in your recommended servings of fruits and vegetables every day there's no excuse when you're your 20s you are an adult you need to eat well and that will pay off dividends in the long run if you are eating out and you were eating drive up food or fast food or stuff that comes out of a vending machine that's not real food and that is not going to help your skin you need things like fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants healthy fats like avocado that can help in skin barrier integrity.
When I give you guys this tip about your diet
it’s not to tell you that these are bad foods and now you can't have them and
that you should never go near them it’s to tell you that they should not be your
meals it'll show up on your face if you have a crummy diet not only that buy a
diet rich in processed sugary foods contributes to something in the skin called
advanced glycation end-products.
Basically sugar molecules glomming on to the
collagen in your skin and creating these advanced glycation end-products that
result in wrinkles so that in combination with the UV is a is a formula for
prominent wrinkles so clean up your diet be and being an adult and things that
you need to do if you haven’t already wash your face at night do not go to bed.
Ladies this is a bad idea cut that off now if you're in your 20s because it'll just get harder and harder with time bad habits that you don't break in your 20s are gonna be harder to break in your 30s even harder to break in your 40s and by the time you're 90 you're not going to break those habits and your skin is going to be like why are you doing this to me it's still because makeup is ear can be irritating the skin and you have oils that build up on the surface of your skin pollutants from the environment allergens plus that makeup it.
All kind of decomposes on the surface of your
skin it causes irritation and free radical damage to your skin the other thing
that I want to encourage you guys to do is to stop two bad habits one is
smoking I don't care if you smoke a cigarette every third or fourth month that
is too much one cigarette is too many cigarettes smoking destroys the collagen
and the deeper layers of our skin creates a ton of free radical damage.
All over the body causes lung cancer accelerates
aging accelerates and exacerbates pretty much every disease process and it gets
harder and harder and harder and harder and harder to quit the longer you do
right so if you’re reading this and you're smoking and you’re in your early 20s
you have to stop you have to stop I mean everyone has to stop but now it's
gonna be easier for you than if you wait there's no reason to wait just stop
now just stop.
Now and if you fail try again and if you fail again try again the other bad habit that has been shown and is known to accelerate the rate of Aging is excessive alcohol consumption I'm not going to tell you that as an adult you cannot consume alcohol responsibly and there are studies showing that modest amounts
of alcohol specifically red wine can
actually have a cardio protective outcome but it's modest amounts if you
were consuming more than eight alcoholic
beverages a week that is excessive
and we'll definitely accelerate.
The rate of aging in the skin it’s
immunosuppressive it makes it harder for your body to fight off free radicals and
it you know causes a variety of other health conditions as well and leads to
blushing and redness so it can create persistent redness in the skin which is
really a problem with the of rosacea and it interferes with your sleep cycle
tremendously.
Although I'll make you drowsy I'll make you fall
asleep because awake right back up again a few hours later it doesn't give you
a restorative sleep and so if you are consuming too much alcohol in your 20s
cut that out cut it out it also is affects your mood tremendously alcohol does
it's a depressant you know and so if you suffer from any kind of mental health
disorder.
You know alcohol is gonna make it much worse for
you it's a depressant and it’s gonna make your symptoms worse but even if you
don't suffer from those diseases it will cause us those feelings and that's not
a good place to be there’s so much pressure in your 20s it’s a much it was the highest
pressure decade for me I didn't enjoy my 20s at all actually there's a lot of
pressure in your 20s more.
I think that any other decade in your life at
least for me there was and it can be a very high-stress time if you don’t
prioritize these good habits and make them make them essentials for you they
will age you and I'll contribute to other health problems I mentioned no
smoking and no alcohol and eating your fruits and vegetables and getting lots
of sleep.
The other thing is exercise consistently will
prolong your life your quality of life and promote overall health and it will
show up on your skin of a more radiant glow it will improve circulation to the
skin and it will help in terms of skin recovery and skin healing and fighting
off those free radicals the exercise does not have to be at an athletic elite
level at all.
Walking is great that is what you need go on a
walk with sunscreen on go on a walk or do some a topical vitamin a derivative whether
it be prescription like threatening or over-the-counter add Abilene or retinol
or retinol dehyde these all can help remove sun damaged skin cells and help in
boosting up collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin.
That’s a prudent ingredient to pursue but not at
the expense of sun protection if you haven’t got your sun protection dialed
down in your 20s make that more of a priority in your skincare but yeah topical
vitamin A is very evidence-based for improving the looks the improving photo
aging and for removing sun damaged skin cells that actually can go on to form
skin cancer.
So, if you're motivated good is a good ingredient
so those are my tips for keeping your skin looking young check the description
box I will list everything that I mentioned here is first sunscreen if you
liked it give it a thumbs up share it with your friends and as always don't
forget sunscreen and give your feedback in comments. We’ll have discussion on
