We all want to appear dapper as we age. And we all know someone who’s on-point from head to toe, defying aging with every step. So, what are their secrets behind looking so renewed and years younger their actual age? As compiled from Health magazine and Huffington Post, experts reveal tricks to keeping your youthful glow with each passing year.
They skip the fancy skincare routine: Cut through the anti-aging aisle and focus on sunscreen. “If you use a sunscreen, retinoid, and moisturizer starting at age 20, your skin will look much younger compared to someone who didn’t use them,” says dermatologist Lance Brown, clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University School of Medicine.
Applying SPF or sunblock every morning is a necessity, no matter how rainy or dark the weather, along with keeping cells plump and hydrated with moisturizer. Dermatologists consistently recommend just simple moisturizer and sunscreen because they essentially teach your skin to act young again, stimulating the collagen that prevents fine lines, he says.
They get a move on:Whatever your motivation to work out — blowing off steam or losing inches off your waist — you can add one more to the list: maintaining your youth. A study on older adults shows that those who exercised functioned physiologically similar to younger people.
