It’s a fine wish for us to age like a fine wine, to look and feel young as long as we possibly can… but can we? Is it possible to turn back the clock, get rid of wrinkles and forget our real age? If only!
We asked Dr. Costi for his tips on how to look younger, 10 years younger, and here’s what he had to say.
Unprotected UV exposure accelerates age related changes such as wrinkles, skin coarseness, and age spots, as Dr. Costi constantly repeats to us.
“While we might remember to wear it on our face, we often neglect our hands, leading to aged hands which reveal our true chronological age.”
Also, especially around your eye area where the skin is very thin and can quickly be damaged by the sun.
Antioxidants fight against inflammation and free radical damage in the body.
Whether it’s from food, supplements or creams, antioxidants will make your skin glow and work as anti-aging heroes. Especially with vitamin C, which boosts your body’s collagen and helps keep your skin firm and youthful-looking.
Our favorite product is a Vitamin C serum to apply every day.
We all know that it’s important for our heart and our brains to exercise and stay fit. But what’s more is that we need it for our posture. Why?
“We’re all hunched over looking at our phones and our computer screens all day” remarks Dr. Costi, “which greatly affects our posture, making us look older.” How true!
Staying fit and working out will keep us standing tall and looking young! And sweating helps with flushing out toxins, so let’s do more of that as well!
Sleep is the best solution for any ailment, as our grand-mothers used to say, and they’re right!
Do you notice how dark spots and wrinkles are more prominent when you are sleep deprived?
“Sleep is necessary for skin’s recovery, and will help you look and feel your best, making you look younger” confirms Dr. Costi.
As you sleep, skin can recover from stress, pollution and sun exposure, all of which make us look older. So remember: good sleep = looking younger.
If you want a quick way to freshen up the way you look and feel, just hydrate, as Dr. Costi specifies.
Dehydrated skin gets easily irritated, and is prone to rashes, rosacea and acne. How to hydrate even oily skin? Use hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which restore the skin’s protective barrier.
If you’re looking for a procedure to give you an extra hydrating hand, try a Hydrafacial treatment.
And what about water? Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to have a drink! Get enough water (8 glasses) through the day to keep you feeling and looking your best.
Still wondering about what fillers can do for you? A liquid facelift might be exactly what you need.
This non-invasive procedure also known as face contouring or instant facelift involves the injection of fillers and Botox into strategic spots to restore your face’s youthful appearance.
Looking tired, sagging skin, lines and wrinkles? No more of that. This is a great non-surgical option for anyone who wants to refresh their look and turn back the hands of time. And the best part? It’s fast, with no down-time and immediate results.
Now SMILE beauties! You’ve never looked more beautiful. ❤️
