How to remain ageless with every birthday

• July 28, 2019

If you are anything like us, curious and active on social media, then you have definitely tried the FaceApp that shows you how you might look in a few decades.
However, being like us, you will try anything not to look like that portrait of your wrinkled self.
The exciting news is that while with every year we are blowing more and more candles away on our birthday, there are more and more anti-aging products and methods that actually work in reversing the clock.
Let’s check out the basics that you should be keeping up with on every birthday, to maintain a healthy glowing skin.

Favor more Antioxidants
Antioxidants favor skin rejuvenation, by boosting collagen production. They also reduce inflammation, and protect the skin from sun damage.
The skin looks plump and glowing, and fine lines are reduced while the skin repairs itself.
To list a few that you should get to know: Vitamin E, CoenzymeQ10, Flavonoids and Niacinamide. (Check out our blog about Niacinamide)
Fun fact: don’t just apply them on your face, there is a wide variety of antioxidant rich food that you can depend on. We strongly favor it if it’s organic.

Make friends with Retinol
Retinol has proven to be a powerful agent against fine lines and wrinkles, penetrating deep into the skin and effectively stimulating skin regeneration.
However, because this can also be irritating to more sensitive skin, some people hesitate to use it. We say don’t hesitate.
There are many products with different dosages of Retinol, you just have to find the right one for you. The way you apply it will also make a difference: if you feel it’s too harsh on your sensitive skin, apply your moisturizer first, then apply your Retinol cream.

Have a glass of wine (or two)
Wine (and chocolate for that matter) contains a plant-based vitamin (polyphenol), which can be found in vegetables, green tea, fruits and chocolates. It possess anti-inflammatory properties that prevent sun damage.
Studies have shown that consumption of ingredients rich in polyphenol help improve our skin’s natural defense against stress, aging and even cancer.

Keep Pigmentation at bay
Dark spots and uneven skin are a sure sign of what? Aging.
You must do your best to avoid them, as their treatment is lengthy and results may vary. To keep your skin healthy avoid sun damage, and always always always wear sunscreen on your face, décolletage and hands.
If you have an uneven skin tone then start including a Vitamin C serum in your beauty routine.

Gift yourself: go see your Dermatologist
Having a gorgeous skin is a full-time job that requires a lot effort, and thankfully we have the help of amazing people who can guide us.
Your dermatologist’s only concern is to take care of your skin, so don’t forget to book your appointment for a check-up at least every six months. With constant product updates in the world of beauty, you are just a phone call away from a perfectly beautiful skin.
Why not make it your birthday present to yourself? You deserve it, book your calendar yearly for an appointment at Dr. Costi’s clinic.

So FaceApp or not, Happy Birthday to you darling you’re beautiful.
Because we all know that real beauty comes from within, let’s just go celebrate with some cake and balloons. Who’s coming?
