As we age, the aging of the skin is inevitable. However, through proper daily care, we can effectively delay aging and maintain the vitality of the skin. So what are the best methods to delay aging?
Understanding your skin
Different types of skin have different sensitivities to external damage: oily skin has a strong resistance to irritation, followed by neutral skin, and dry skin is the weakest. Therefore, understanding the nature of your skin is essential for selecting skincare products that are targeted to your needs.
Anti-aging with Vitamin E
Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties. It forms a protective film in the body, improves the function of capillaries, promotes microcirculation, and effectively delays aging. Applying vitamin E topically can moisturize the skin, maintain its elasticity and radiance, and slow down skin aging.
Foods rich in vitamin E include vegetable oils such as soybean oil, corn oil, and tea seed oil; green vegetables; fruits; grains; poultry; and meat, among others.
Revitalizing the skin with fruit acids
Using skincare products that contain fruit acids can make your skin more vibrant. Fruit acids can promote the growth of epidermal cells, accelerate the renewal of skin cells, and make the skin fresh, smooth, and elastic.
Properly protecting and sunblocking
UV radiation causes more damage to the skin than natural aging does. It can make the skin rough, produce pigmentation, and even cause dilated blood vessels. Air pollution and long-term makeup on the face also erode the health of the skin. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to sun protection and blocking.
Engaging in aerobic exercises
Proper exercise can accelerate blood circulation in the skin and help cells absorb oxygen. Engaging in aerobic exercises 3-5 times a week, for 20-30 minutes each time, can help maintain a rosy complexion.
Adjusting sleep patterns
While we sleep at night, our skin undergoes metabolism and self-adjustment. If you cannot ensure sufficient sleep, your complexion will appear dull. Adequate sleep is a natural beauty secret for youthful skin. We recommend going to bed before 11 pm every night.
Learning to relax
Stress and anxiety can cause hormonal imbalances and various inflammations on the skin. Therefore, taking 15-20 minutes every day to relax and manage stress and negative emotions can help rejuvenate the skin.
Avoiding negative facial expressions
Squinting or frowning can lead to premature fine lines. You can try to maintain a smile and avoid squinting and frowning as much as possible. Massaging the corners of the mouth, corners of the eyes, and sides of the nose after a good laugh can prevent wrinkles.
Quit smoking
Smokers expose their facial skin to nicotine-containing smoke for a long time, increasing the chance of wrinkles appearing on their faces three times more than non-smokers. Please do not give up delicate and tender skin for the sake of an unhealthy "cool" image.
