As a 20-something-year-old, you may still be able to cope with vodka-tonic or 4 hours of sleep a day, and you can do everything without leaving a mark on your face. The key to preventing the appearance of wrinkles is to start everything right now. Skin expert and master Renée Rouleau gives some tips to prevent wrinkles in a timely manner.
Find something that suits your skin. Be careful with the type of skin you have. Is it greasy? Dry? With acne? By using products that take care of the type of skin you have, you will treat it healthier.
Do not break the basic rules of skin care. After all, you should always clean your face from daily makeup, grease or bacteria. Before going to bed, you must cleanse, tone and apply an anti-aging serum to the areas where the skin is most likely to be dry.
Carefully select anti-aging skin products . Now, more than ever, all women are aware of the use of anti-aging creams. Although this is a good thing, it should not be overstated. " Many anti-wrinkle creams have powerful active ingredients that boost cell metabolism," Rouleau explains. Instead of spending money on expensive products, it would be good to focus on the main ones that relate to bathing, hydrating and protecting the skin from the sun.
Massage the face. Deep cleansing of the pores once a month is essential, according to Rouleau. It is ideal for a girl in her 20s because it not only prevents aging but also destroys the bacteria that provoke acne on the face. If you can't practice it every month, it's recommended four times a year, once every season.
Use eye cream. Starting at a young age, you can avoid the appearance of wrinkles in the area of the eye, the first to show signs of age. If you are 20 years old and the first signs around your eyes have started, you should use a well-formulated eye cream in order to keep the delicate nourished and protected part.
Food and beverage program
Consume foods rich in antioxidants. By minimizing cell damage, they fight aging from the inside out, plus they have a high fiber content, low fat and are a good source of vitamins. Green vegetables, fruits, everything that contains Omega-3 (wild salmon), avocados, nuts / seeds and blackberries, are some of these foods.
Drink plenty of water. We have often heard that within a day you should drink at least 8 glasses of water. "The amount of water we need to consume is an individual matter, because it depends on each person's body weight, daily activity level, health status and indoor temperature," says Rouleau. One rule you can follow is 30 ml for 30 calories consumed. If you're not comfortable with math equations, install iDrated on your phone and it will orient exactly how much water you need to drink depending on age and weight.
Rouleau's instructions:
Drink a glass of water immediately after waking up
Keep a bottle of water close by when you go to bed
Keep water on your desktop
Put a leaflet on your computer that will remind you to drink water
Carry a small water bottle in the bag
Drink before, during and after exercise. If the exercise lasts more than 60 minutes, consume sports drinks.
Sun protection
Sun protection is undoubtedly the best way to avoid signs of age on the skin. Sunscreen should be used every day of the year and not just when it is sunny. "On the beach, people are mostly focused on getting high-protective creams, but the whole point is to put the cream in the right amount of time and often (at least every two hours)," Rouleau said. If you have sensitive, oily or acne-prone skin and require a matte sunscreen, use a zinc oxide formula. For normal to dry skin, use a chemical-free mineral formula. If you use a powder-shielding cream for your skin, it's another easy and quick way to protect it from the sun.
sleep
" During sleep it is time for the body to repair all the damage of the day and disruption of this process will slow down the circulation of cells and interfere with proper blood circulation, making the skin pale" , Renée said. Lack of sleep, too, can worsen almost everything related to the skin, including acne, eczema and red marks. "Sleeping Beauty", apparently, is not just a tale.
