Everyone likely wants to turn back the clock or at least slow it down. No one is saying time can be stopped, but you can take steps to ensure you don't age prematurely.
The following is a list of options that can help you stay as youthful as possible.
Exfoliation is something many people don't do. The problem is if you don't exfoliate, you get a build-up of dead skin and dirt. You might not see this build-up with your naked eye, but it's there. The longer you leave it, the more it affects your skin's appearance.
The dirt and dead skin can make lines more prominent, and it could make your skin look dull, which is the opposite of youthfulness. There are a few ways to exfoliate, including making a paste from sugar and coconut oil to gently rub on your skin, but the method you choose is up to you.
Green tea is good for all sorts of things, but some people don't know that it can help make your face appear youthful. This can happen because of the antioxidants in the tea that seem to fight free radicals. One reason that wrinkle lines begin to appear is due to free radical damage.
The good thing is green tea can help get rid of these free radicals, which could end up making you appear younger. Just place the tea over heat until it gets warm. Soak a clean face towel; squeeze that towel when it's not too hot to handle and place it over your face. Leave it there for at least 15 minutes so that your skin's pores open and absorb the green tea properties.
Those who want to not only appear more youthful but also work on making their skin more supple and plump can turn to aloe. The reason you may turn to aloe vera is that it contains a good amount of vitamins C and E, which are two important nutrients for your skin. What you want to do is purchase an aloe vera leaf.
Do your best to find a leaf that is organic and still fresh. A fresh leaf is going to look green, have no dark spots, and is going to feel relatively firm. Once you get home with your leaf, carefully cut the leaf in the middle, and place the gel in a clean bowl. Rub the aloe vera on your skin, and let it sit there for a few minutes before rinsing off. Keep what's left in your fridge, or drink some because consumption is good for you too.
Most people get massages to feel a little better, to tackle muscle stiffness, or to fight off the stresses of the day. The thing some people don't know is how effective a massage can be towards preventing lines. The reason is simply that the massage therapist stimulates blood flow to the areas he or she touches.
This brings more proteins to those areas, and your skin uses those to help smooth out your skin. Now, most people do not ask for facial massages, but if you want to make sure you prevent lines, you should get facial massages as often as regular massages.
Reducing lines or preventing them is a worthy endeavor even if it does take some dedication. Be sure that you practice patience because some of these options can take some time to show results, but the results should come if you stick to your skincare routine.
