Natural Tips to Slow Down Skin Aging
You've just hit your thirties, and signs of skin aging are starting to show: wrinkles, fine lines, and perhaps even brown spots. The culprits? Age, of course, but also lack of sleep, alcohol, smoking, pollution, and stress. It's worth noting that the sun is responsible for 80% of skin aging (according to Vichy.fr). As a result, the skin loses its elasticity, regenerates less effectively, and those infamous wrinkles start to appear.
You might find yourself spending time scrutinizing your skin, hoping that somehow it will make imperfections disappear. However, it's impossible to achieve that just like that! Nevertheless, it is entirely possible to naturally and simply slow down skin aging.
- Adopt an Anti-Aging Diet
Skin health begins with a healthy and varied diet. To delay skin aging, prioritize foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins A, C, and E. Antioxidants help skin tissue fight against aging, while omega-3 fatty acids preserve elasticity and suppleness. Lastly, vitamin A protects your skin tissue from the sun.
Here's a list of foods to maintain youthful skin: Spinach, Tomato, Beetroot, Red beans, Salmon, Mackerel, Sardines, Olive oil, Sunflower oil, Carrot, Eggs, Orange, Bell pepper, Kiwi, Grapefruit, Hazelnuts, Almonds...
- Stop Stress to Slow Down Skin Aging!
You're probably wondering how stress can prematurely age your skin. Simply put, it disrupts the protective barrier of the epidermis. To combat skin aging, we recommend engaging in regular physical activity such as yoga or walking and allowing yourself moments of relaxation such as massages. Additionally, try meditation! There are apps available to help you relax: Calm, Zenfie, Petit Bambou, Daily Yoga.
- Get Good Sleep to Slow Down Cellular Aging
Having restful sleep is important to feel energized and to carry out your activities effectively. But it's also good for your skin because during this period, your skin tissue regenerates and produces growth hormone that strengthens the elasticity of the epidermis. Moreover, when you don't get enough sleep, your body secretes cortisol (stress hormone). In large quantities over the long term, this leads to cellular aging of the skin. Therefore, aim for restful and sufficient sleep.
- Protect Your Epidermis from Sun Rays for Rejuvenated Skin
UV rays are harmful to your skin, especially if you expose yourself without applying sunscreen. This can cause premature skin aging or the appearance of brown spots. Indeed, sunlight damages the cells of the epidermis by breaking the DNA chain. The result? These same cells produce less elastin and collagen. The solution? Always apply sunscreen with a high SPF, ideally SPF 50+.
- Choose the Right Anti-Aging Facial Routine
Taking care of mature skin isn't the same as caring for adolescent skin. So, adopt the right habits, and most importantly, use the right natural anti-aging cosmetics.
Cleanse and cleanse your skin every evening to slow down facial aging. Even if you don't have the time or inclination, it's crucial to properly remove makeup and cleanse your skin in the evening to prevent skin aging. Eliminate impurities and toxins from your epidermis to promote optimal skin tissue regeneration that occurs at night. For makeup removal, we recommend using organic vegetable oil. As for cleansing the skin, opt for a gentle and organic product.
Massage your skin with an anti-aging serum.
Phytoceutic markets the anti-spot face serum with organic snail slime and the lifting serum with snake venom.
Hydrate your mature skin with an anti-aging moisturizer.
Remember that hydration starts with the body by drinking water regularly and enough. In addition to hydrating the body, this also hydrates the skin to eliminate toxins and helps maintain the natural protection of the skin tissue against environmental aggressions. This barrier helps slow down skin aging and the appearance of wrinkles. Finding it difficult to drink water? Opt for tea (especially green tea rich in antioxidants), herbal infusions, homemade smoothies, etc.
Sometimes, it may be necessary to hydrate your skin by applying natural skincare. Choose anti-aging day and night moisturizers. These anti-aging treatments are suitable for mature skin and contain natural actives such as snail slime, aloe vera, rosehip oil, etc. The benefits of anti-aging day and night creams are numerous: anti-wrinkle, anti-spot, nourishing, hydrating, regenerating.
Phytoceutic offers you a hydrating face cream with organic snail slime enriched in collagen and elastin: the regenerating cream with snail slime for early wrinkles, and the anti-wrinkle cream with snake venom.
