Ever since ’10-year challenge’ came into being, it instantly took over the internet. You will see lots of ‘Then and Now’ celebrities photos surfing on the social media. The whole idea behind this challenge is to show your followers how much you have improved, basically your transformation – be it good or bad (mostly people put up their good side on social media). Amidst all this, one question that crossed my mind is, how many of them aged well? (obviously, without using filters) Well, not many put their real self on social media, so that question will remain unanswered. But it’s true that somewhere or other, everybody wants to look 10 years younger. Of course, you should feel more content, fulfilled and at peace with how you age. But there is nothing wrong in taking care of your skin and implementing good skincare habits to age well after a decade. Here are 8 skincare step and anti aging tips to look young forever.
8 Habits to adopt today to look Young forever and to Age gracefully
Makeup is temporary, skincare is permanent.
1. CTM (Cleansing, Toning & Moisturizing)
Cleansing your skin is very important as it removes all the dirt and product build up on your skin. Always sleep with clean face, free from any make up or dirt. Toning helps to shrink large pores. next is moisturizing your skin. Be it dry or oily skin, always use a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Moisturizing keeps your skin hydrated and makes it less prone to wrinkles and fine lines.
2. Hydrate Yourself:
Moisturizing is not enough to keep your skin hydrated. You need to treat your skin from within. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily to keep your skin hydrated. Not only it makes your skin clear and body free from toxins, but also helps to reduce bloating.
3. Exfoliation:
If you want a smooth skin texture, exfoliate your skin regularly. Go for Natural Facial scrubs to keep your skin free from blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores.
4. Watch for Sun damage:
We all love to get sun soaked. With sun bathing, comes a heavy skin damage like early formation of wrinkles and skin cancer. Always use a sunscreen with high SPF.
5. Less Salt and Sugar:
Giving up on sugar could be heartbreaking for many. Reduce the intake of salt and stop sugars, both processed and direct, to enjoy a healthy fit body and clear skin.
6. Lemon Water:
It is better to start your day with lemon water rather than tea or coffee. First thing to go in your body when you wake up in the morning should be warm lemon water. It releases toxins from your body and helps with acne & breakout. Also, replace your tea or coffee with green tea. Green tea keeps your metabolism high and wrinkles at bay.
7. Stop being a Night Owl:
This is hardest of all. It’s difficult to go to bed early when you have Netflix to binge watch your favorite TV shows. Make the gradual change. Try going to bed 15 minutes early every night than you usually do. Practicing this daily will not only relax your skin, but also prevent late night snacking helping you to shed those extra pounds.
