The Dos and Don’ts to Help Slow the Aging Skin Process
- Quit smoking. Ever notice the skin of a lifelong smoker? It can appear as wrinkly as a squashed paper bag. Smoking is the 2nd biggest cause of skin damage after sun exposure. Why? Nicotine constricts blood vessels and decreases the flow of oxygen to the skin.
- Do give yourself a facial once a week. If you follow a Basic At-Home Facial a guarantee that your skin will look better. Facials take only 30 minutes and includes cleansing, exfoliation via a facial scrub, a hydrating mask, a quick steam and moisturizer.
- Do wear sunscreen every day. Always put a sunscreen on everyday whether there sun is out or it’s raining. As the harsh rays of the sun can cause some much damage to your skin causing you to age quickly.
- Don’t forget to moisturize. While it’s a myth that wrinkles are caused by dry skin, moisturizing can improve the appearance of lines by temporarily plumping them up. Also consider natural remedies such as cucumber to get rid of the eye bags and dark circles that form underneath the eyes. Eye creams are controversial because some pros claim they don’t really do anything, but for cucumber
