Look and Feel Your Best With These Anti-Ageing Tips

It's no secret that as we age, our skin's youthfulness starts to decline. We begin to form wrinkles and fine lines, and the skin naturally loses its elasticity, making it appear less plump and full. Unfortunately, ageing effects happen to everyone - even if you swear by your excellent genes and use of top-of-the-line skin care products. While using high-quality products and being fortunate enough to come from a long ancestral line of glowing skin doesn't hurt your anti-ageing process, there are additional ways to take care of your skin.

Of course, the ageing process is natural, and it's not a bad thing to develop a few wrinkles or ageing spots. But many people feel better and significantly more confident when they look their best. Taking care of your skin is an act of self-care - a gift to yourself that will make you feel youthful and healthy. Let's look at some anti-ageing tips that you can apply to your skincare routine.

Use a Collagen Cream or Supplement 

Collagen is a protein naturally found in the body that maintains healthy bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It also encourages elasticity in the skin, which lessens the number of wrinkles in the face. Collagen can prevent the skin from sagging and gives people that fresh, plump look we all aspire to convey. Sadly, such a perfect and natural protein starts to decline as we age - as early as our mid-twenties. 

However, there's still hope. You can find collagen in a wide variety of products, including topical creams and over the counter supplements. Consider adding a cream containing collagen to your beauty regimen, or look for a safe supplement to take each morning.

Juvederm Treatments 

You may not be familiar with the word Juvederm, but it's one of the most widely-used facial fillers in the world. It's made from a liquid gel containing the naturally occurring sugar in the human body called hyaluronic acid, which immediately can smooth the skin's wrinkles and restores volume to the face. The benefits of Juvederm are endless - from lip augmentation to losing under-eye circles to getting rid of fine wrinkles - it's an effective and long-lasting treatment for anti-ageing. It's a quick and easy in-office procedure, and often the results last up to two years. 

BOTOX® Injections

Another simple procedure to consider is BOTOX® injections. As one of the most popular cosmetic procedures (approximately 10.9 vials have been sold in the US since 2002), BOTOX® is a trusted and accountable anti-ageing method. It works by targeting the underlying causes of crow's feet and frown lines - the muscle contractions created from years of frowning and squinting the eyes. When you visit the right cosmetic and laser clinic, you'll notice a difference within 24-hours of treatment, and you'll have smooth, wrinkle-free skin for up to four months. 

Avoid the Sun

While small doses of sunlight won't hurt you, avoid sitting out on the beach for too long, and always remember to wear sunscreen. Too much sun will cause severe skin damage and even cancer.

If you follow these beauty tips, you'll be surprised at not just how youthful you'll look but also by how great you'll feel. Be kind to yourself and treat your skin to some much-needed self-care.
