Let’s face it…. Whether we like it or not, every day we get a little bit older, with signs of aging showing more and more in our hair, skin, and face. These are some ways to take care of your body and skin so it looks its best it can be, and demise signs of aging… as much as possible, of course – there are no miracle workers!
- Start in the Shower.
Preventing the signs of aging begins every morning in your shower. Most people think treating your skin starts once you’ve dried off but there are products that help renew your youthful appearance – for example, moisturizing body washes that do not dry out your skin.
- Focus on Your Face.
Your face is one of the first things people see when they look at you and it’s one of the first things that can show signs of aging, so it deserves so extra attention. Eye creams and microdermabrasion systems and even the foundation you wear can all help to keep your skin looking young. (The new skincare line REVALESKIN contains one of the most powerful anti-oxidant found to date, Coffeeberry, and is said to help fight aging very well.)
- Smooth Your Skin.
As we age, skin becomes rough, dry, discolored, dull, and transparent. It may also lose elasticity and become wrinkled as a result of sun exposure, loss of fatty tissues, stress, and, of course, gravity. Using a daily moisturizer rich in collagen and vitamins can help replenish essential building blocks found in naturally healthy skin.
- Give Your Lips Some Love.
Lines in your lips and discoloration are two symptoms of aging that can be easily corrected without surgery. You can try an intense lip correction product or a moisturizing lipstick to help lips have the same luster as they did in your youth. (Apparently this lip plumper by Clinique is said to have some anti-aging ingredients in it.)
- Get Hands On.
One of the first places you start to notice aging is on the backs of your hands. It’s important to give your hands the same attention as you do your face when it comes to reversing the signs of aging. Combat sun spots, wrinkles and fine lines by using an intensive hand therapy treatment daily.
Bottom line? Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! You don’t want to end up Botox-mad like the lady above, do you? :-P Do you have any other tips to add?

Excellent article. Face lift will also help, my husband says while I’m at it I should have two.
hahahah at the comment above me!
That crazy woman “Jackie” is my mother! Haha! Thanks for your comment, Mom :-P
LOLz @ Jackie’s comment.
anyway, I started using anti-aging products when I turned 22. Aging has always scared me out of my wits, but there really is nothing I can do about it but to grin and go through with it gracefully.
It is so hard facing 40 without giving into Botox. I am always surprised when a very young woman (in her early 20′s) receives injections on a regular basis.
My beauty skin advice that goes right along with your suggestions is to protect your skin by using sunscreen and antioxidant-rich skin products. And avoid the urge to tan! I truly wish I had avoided this as a young adult. Now I am spending a lot of time trying to un-do the past sun damage to my face.
Excellent post, and you are no fool when it comes to beauty!
LV: I completely agree with you – one should just age gracefully! I really don’t believe in going through extremes to trying to capture your youth again.
Jen: First of all thank you for your comment and your suggestions. I need to edit the article – sunscreen should be number one on that list! I can’t believe I completely forgot about it – see, definitely a fool :-P
Early 20s and already getting Botox! That’s insane!
I have to get used to applying sunscreen everyday. May I ask which one you use? I actually bought one after seeing it mentioned in Allure a million times but it is a very weird formula, it kinda peels off. Perhaps I should write a post on it and see if others have the same problem and any suggestions.
I really agree with you on the tanning. I know a few girls my age who love to tan and you can definitely see a difference in their skin. Self tanners all the way! ;)
And Jen, you seriously do not look anywhere near 40!
