12 Amazingly Simple Habits to Fight Signs of Skin Ageing

 


Lets’ face it. No one likes to age. However much you talk about age bringing wisdom and grace, etc, it is a fact that ageing gives us the heebie-jeebies. The fine lines, dark circles, wrinkles, sagging skin don’t add up to the pretty diva’s image we aspire to be in our mind.

Unless of course, you are ageing gracefully. But, how does one age gracefully, like fine wine? You can, if you adopt some good skincare habits. Take special care of your skin with anti ageing skincare products that supply moisture and antioxidant protection to your skin.

In this blog, we tell you some amazingly simple everyday habits that will help you delay ageing and keep you looking radiant for a long, long time.

What habits help to fight signs of ageing?


For keeping ageing away, you can’t just rely on external cosmetics. You need to eat and sleep well, exercise regularly, and keep stress away. Did you know that some lifestyle changes and giving up unhealthy habits can stall the ageing process significantly? 

The age-old dictum of “You are what you eat” is very much valid in terms of beauty and skincare. In addition to using anti ageing creams and serums, you can preserve your youthful looks with some conscious changes in your lifestyle too.

Skin specialists advise you to give up the following as soon as possible:

  • Smoking. If you haven’t quit yet, do it now. Along with the risks of cancer and lung damage, smoking ages your skin by drying it up. Ditto alcohol that causes skin dehydration. Ditch alcohol in your skincare products too.

  • Processed and junk food. Anything that has an excess of salt, sugar and hydrogenated fats, make you unhealthy. It shows on your looks by giving you a bloated, puffy appearance.

  • Excessive sun exposure. Sun damage is real, and shows directly on your facial skin. Facial anti ageing skincare should definitely include a sun protection factor of 30 and above, so that your skin doesn’t suffer UV damage.

  • Stress. The silent killer, stress shows on your face in the form of frown lines and wrinkles. Relax, meditate, do deep breathing and positive visualization to keep stress away.

Adopt these healthy habits to give your skin a healthy boost:

  • Eat more antioxidant filled fruits and vegetables, and lean meats, cottage cheese and eggs that provide protein. Fermented foods like kimchi, yoghurt, kanji, handua, idli are probiotic rich and have antioxidant properties. Anything that is good for your gut is good for keeping away fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Get enough undisturbed sleep at night. Night time is when your skin renews itself. Sleep is vital to this process of renewal and rejuvenation. Also, instead of sleeping on one side, try to sleep on your back, as sleeping sideways constantly causes stress to the facial muscles that ultimately leads to face wrinkles.

  • As you age, your skin produces lesser collagen and moisture. Add healthy fats like almonds, walnuts, olives, flax and chia seeds in your diet to stock up on natural nourishment. Look out for skincare products that have these natural oils as well.

  • Adopt a healthy anti ageing skincare routine. Retinoids are good for skin cell renewal, so it makes sense to use retinoid filled skincare products. But retinoids are not safe to use during pregnancy and nursing as these can pose a risk to the foetus. Opt for the natural, plant based alternative – Bakuchiol that has zero side effects and is perfectly okay to use while nursing or during pregnancy.

  • Always make the time to remove your make-up before going to bed at night. Stale make-up clogs skin pores and hampers the natural skin cell renewal process. Use a natural face cleanser to remove all traces of make-up, so that your skin can breathe easy. Apply an anti ageing night cream after cleansing your skin, for providing intense hydration while you sleep.

Switch over to a healthier lifestyle and watch the difference on your skin. Keep your skin clean and hydrated at all times.

How can I stop my face from aging? 


Since ages, our grandmothers and great grandmothers depended on nature to take care of their looks. Natural skincare is without doubt, the best defence against ageing. 

We take you through the best natural skincare products that can effectively stall ageing:

  • An anti ageing day cream with antioxidants can protect your skin from UVA and pollution damage. Zinc Oxide, Bakuchiol, Hyaluronic Acid, and Green Tea extracts fight free radical damage, and offer antioxidant protection to your facial skin. Your skin gets boosted elasticity and hydration with this facial anti ageing cream. Bakuchiol is suitable for the most sensitive skin, while Ectoin in this day cream repairs and improves stressed skin. Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with this effective formula.

  • Follow it up with an anti ageing night cream for night time skin repair and hydration. Loaded with Bakuchiol and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), this is the best night cream to keep away fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots. This cream also has the goodness of the wonderfully hydrating Hyaluronic Acid that helps skin hold moisture. With Chia Seed and Sea Buckthorn oils, this rejuvenating skin cream improves blood circulation, provides your skin with essential nutrients and boosts skin firmness.

  • An area where you need to pay special attention to is the under eye skin. This skin is extremely delicate and sensitive, and tends to age faster. Apply an anti ageing eye cream that is specially formulated with botanical extracts to help improve the appearance of the eye contour and keep away eye bags. With Bakuchiol, Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid, in addition to Cucumber extract and Coffee oil, this eye cream is perfect for the delicate skin under the eyes that show early signs of ageing. Repair and rejuvenate the under eye skin with this superbly hydrating formula and keep face wrinkles away. 

Ageing gracefully has never been so simple. These good lifestyle and skincare habits go a long way in giving you the skin of your dreams. 

And remember, to use 100% natural skincare products that keep away the parabens, chemicals and toxins totally. Sulphates, mineral oils and synthetic fragrances in beauty products are a big no-no if you want to preserve your looks and be environment-friendly too. 

Nurture your skin with the goodness of Mother Nature in her purest form -  without chemicals and additives. After all, beauty may be skin deep, but your skin needs the special care of nature to glow and repair itself.

Skincare Alert! Are You Doing Your Daytime and Night time Skincare Routine Right?

Are you a morning person or a night owl? Now that the world is connected 24/7, this should not matter, right? You can be functional for any time period during the day or night, as long as it suits you. What matters, however, is whether you are doing your daytime and night time skincare routines right.  Yes, you read that right. Your skincare routine during the day, and before you go to bed, are different in purpose and require different skincare products. Daytime skincare is focused on sun protection, antioxidant protection, and day-long hydration. Night time skincare must aim to nourish and repair your skin, in tune with your body’s natural circadian cycle (while you sleep, your body repairs itself). So, it makes sense to segregate your morning and night skincare routines , with sunscreens, toners and moisturizers dominating during the day, and serums, eye creams and night creams pampering your skin at night.  Read on to know which healthy skincare habits to adopt, when to u...
