“Age is just but a number.”

 You may have come across this statement more times than you can remember.

You also meet people who look younger for their age. It is not uncommon to find a fifty-year-old woman who has the skin of a thirty-year-old

There are also instances where you will find someone in the early 20s who looks as if he or she is 40.

People who look younger are known to be confident and do not suffer from low esteem issues. You do not have to use crazy pills to enhance your looks. 

The following are some of the tips to get that glowing skin.

Visit A Medical Spa

It is one of the best approaches if you want to look younger. There are hundreds of services that you can get in a medical spa depending on your needs. 

Some of those that will give you that young look include skincare, weight management, and body sculpting

The ideal procedures should be safe for both the technician and the patient seeking services.

Ensure that the technicians who handle you are qualified, and the clinic should also have a doctor. Hair replacement services are also offered in such facilities.

Protect Your Skin From Sunlight

sunscreen

Excessive exposure to sunlight is not good for your skin.

Wrinkles will start developing as the sun rays get in contact with the cells beneath your skin.

A good sunscreen will protect such cells from suffering from burns. 

Do not forget the areas under the eyes as it is one of the places that show signs of aging.

You can also wear sunglasses that will protect your eyes from harmful rays.

Remember to wear sunscreen as you go to the beach to have a good time. Do not forget to apply sunscreen on your neck as it is another place that shows signs of aging.

Moisturize Your Skin

The skin tends to get drier as you age, and the levels of the hormones drop.

The only way to keep these hormones at the recommended level is when you use a moisturizer

You should only apply foundation on your skin after moisturizing. Avoid applying cream foundation directly on your skin because such creams are packed with a lot of pigment so that they can provide fuller coverage.

However, such pigment is basically powder, which dehydrates your skin further. Moisturizing should only happen after you cleanse your skin.

Remember to remove your makeup before you head to sleep.

Engage In Healthy Feeding Habits

Some foods will make your skin glow. Fruits such as avocados are a good source of healthy fats

These types of fats are essential as they keep the skin moisturized and also make it flexible. Avocados contain vitamin E, which is a great antioxidant.

Foods that contain vitamin C are also essential as they help build the main structural protein on the skin, collagen.

Eating sweet potatoes helps protect your skin from sun damage as they produce beta carotene. 

Cocoa from snacks such as chocolate is also a great antioxidant that keeps your skin hydrated.

Maintain An Active Lifestyle

Lazing on the coach is not the way to get that young-looking skin.

Regular exercise helps you build healthier bones and tone muscles.

People who have an active lifestyle also tend to be happier as exercises lead to the excretion of dopamine, the happiness hormone. 

Engaging in physical activities where you interact with other people will also reduce your anxiety and stress levels. Being active is also essential when you want to lose weight.

 You do not have to spend many hours in a gym because simple exercises such as having a 10-minute walk in the neighborhood might be all that you need.

Take Care Of Hair

The way you style your hair may either make you look young or old.

Some people shorten their hair during old age as it becomes harder to style. However, you can find a medium balance where the hair will be slightly shaggy, making it manageable with a modern look.

It is also the time that you embrace your grays. Yellow shades are the last thing that should appear on your hair. 

Go for shampoos with violet or blue undertones if your hair is more than 50% gray. Treat your itching and dry scalp with shampoo.


Maintaining a young look does not have to be hard when you follow the above tips.

Your fashion sense should as well complement the appearance of your skin. Having multiple layers of makeup will not make your skin looker young.
