Wrinkles. They’re the mark of a life well lived, a tribute to the years any woman has spent in the world. Some choose to wear them as a badge of honor, while others do everything they can to keep them at bay. Botox injections, facelifts, laser wrinkle removal — all of these procedures have their place in the war on aging, but what else can a woman do to keep her youthful glow?
From an early age, there are plenty of steps any woman can take to fight wrinkles before they even show signs of developing. Are you still in your 20s? Great! Plenty of creams and moisturizers are available for you to make a part of your daily routine. Maybe you’re a few years older than that? More intense measures like lifts can take years off of your smile. From creams to procedures, here’s a quick rundown of anti-aging techniques perfect for women of any age.
Daily moisturizers
If you wear makeup, you should be washing it off your face at the end of each day already, but you should also take the opportunity to apply daily moisturizers. Not only are daily moisturizers healthy for your skin, but they will also help your skin look young longer. When you wash your face at the end of the day, you remove bacteria, dirt and dry skin cells, but you also wipe it clean of any hydration that your skin needs on a daily basis. Make hydration a part of your routine from an early age. Remember – healthy skin looks and feels younger, so make sure you follow the proper directions when applying your daily moisturizer and make sure you find the right moisturizer for you.
Wrinkle creams
No one likes the wrinkles that form around their mouths or at the edges of the eyes. Wrinkle creams can help prevent these lines and can help mask them once they appear. Denial alone won’t make them disappear. Instead, start treating them before they get out of hand. As you choose which creams to use, make sure they have the most effective ingredients and soon you’ll be on your way to younger-looking skin.
Skin repair serum
When you need something a little tougher than a regular cream or moisturizer, you might want to think about using a skin repair serum. Daily living, sun, wind, dirt and stress put skin through a lot, which can cause skin to look aged. When you use a skin repair serum properly, you can help reverse some of the effects of those harsh conditions. Make an appointment with your dermatologist to find a serum that’s right for you.
Lifts
When it comes to surgical procedures, there’s a whole world of options. Traditional facelifts or “deep plane” procedures can be very invasive and are only necessary for the severest of cases. Many women opt for mini-lifts, which only deal with the skin and leave deeper facial tissue untouched. For those who might want the results of a deep procedure without all the interruption, mini facelift alternatives bridge the gap between invasive and non-invasive treatments.
As you prepare for the fight against aging, be sure to remember everyone is different. Your face is yours alone. What works for your friend or family member might not be the best solution for you. Be sensitive to the needs of your body and invite your physicians to help you find the best products and procedures. Are you already using anti-aging techniques that work for you?
