Father Time is relentless and it can have a huge effect on the way in which we look, especially when our comes to our skin. As we age, our skin loses elasticity, wrinkles will appear and we begin to look older, often older than we actually are. Despite the advancement of science and technology and the desire by many to find the fountain of youth serum, we are still unable to reverse the effects of the raging process. With this being said, there are still many things which we can do to help ourselves look younger, and whilst they may not all be permanent, they can really help to give you the confidence and the young look that you may be after. Let’s have a look at some of the ways.
Botox
I went for some Botox injections in San Jose last year ahead of a wedding and I was incredible happy with the results. Botox is a serum which is injected into the skin, it fills out areas where there are wrinkles and it also encourages the skin to produce more collagen the chemical which our skin needs for repair and cell growth. The only downside with Botox is that you need to have it re-done once every six months or so, and I didn’t really want to make that kind of commitment. Instead, I like to use Botox every now and again, to give me a much-needed boost.
Stop Ageing
Naturally you cannot actually stop ageing but you can take some steps on your own to slow down how fast your face and your skin ages. If you smoke, drink excessively, fail to stay sufficiently hydrated or don’t eat a healthy diet, you will not be doing much to help the health of your skin. Make sure that you always place attention on what you are putting in to your body, that could negatively affect your skin and how you look.
Microdermabrasion
This is a treatment which I’d really recommend for anyone who is looking to give the health of their skin a much needed boost. Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure which deeply exfoliates your skin using small crystals, and helps to remove the top layer of dead and damaged skin. The crystals or diamond-tip of the tool which is used for this treatment, will also buff and polish the skin to give a great finish. The result of this treatment is fresh, clean and young looking skin and not only does it look great, but the cleaner and fresher skin is actually far more healthy for you. Make sure that you have a chat with your dermatologist before you decide to go for a microdermabrasion treatment as it is not always for everyone. I would recommend getting this treatment done twice a year to ensure that your skin is always looking its very best.
