With the invention of botox and the most advanced techniques of plastic surgery, the idea that no one is getting younger is considered not valid any more. How many today’s celebrities keep on looking more and more attractive year by year! It is possible to agree that people who use such miracles of natural and not natural beauty can look younger within the time. However, very few modern ladies prefer using unnatural beauty boosters. Below, check out 9 tips for making your skin look healthy and younger without many of severe anti-aging procedures.

1. Give up smoking. Nicotine is one of the main enemies of our skin as it makes our skin dry, causes skin pigmentation and slows down collagen production in our body. Collagen is a vital element for healthy and young looking skin. Also, studies have shown that smoking causes more wrinkles and spots around the lips of smokers. Beware of this bad habit, not only for your skin health, but for your overall health as well.

2. Lower your alcohol consumption. Drinking just 2 light alcoholic drinks a day can cause swellings and more wrinkles to be formed. Alcohol is another very powerful enemy of your skin, so try to use it as less as possible.

3. Go in for sports on a regular basis. Daily exercise helps in improving blood circulation and providing your skin cells with better nutrition. Exercise is one of the best ways to maintain healthy and young looking skin.

4. Learn how to lower harmful effects of stresses. Anxiety, nervous tension and other symptoms of chronic stresses cause slowed down cortisol production in our body, which contributes to skin aging.

5. Control your exposure to sunlight. Sun rays can bring a lot of damage to our skin, especially during top intensity hours (between 10 am and 4 pm). Increased UV exposure is also linked to elevated risks of skin cancer.

6. Use UV-protective creams and other cosmetic products. Specialists say that this is one of the most effective ways to keep healthy and young looking skin.

7. Choose your skin care products according to your age. For example, aging skin is always more sensitive and dry, and it requires special skin care products. Treating young skin with creams and other skin care products for aging skin will not bring to anything good either. Therefore, choose your creams and other skin care products wisely.

8. Take a regular care of your neck. Many women take care about their face, hands and abdominal areas very well, at that forgetting about their neck skin. This area is also affected by all possible factors like sunlight, winds, cold temperatures, and therefore exposed to aging badly. Do not forget about regular neck skin care.

9. Start your battle against deep wrinkles as soon as possible. As soon as the first wrinkles start appearing on your forehead or the corners of your eyes, begin using special strong cosmetic products to fight against them. The earlier you begin your fight against them, the more chances you have to enjoy your healthy and young looking skin.
