Just a few changes in your life can naturally make you look years younger. Skin ageing can be slowed down, your style can be adjusted so that you maintain a largely youthful appearance.
Free radicals damage our cell structure and accelerate premature signs of ageing and disease. Antioxidants, which are contained in many healthy foods, help to combat the attack of free radicals. Your diet should be rich in vitamin-rich fruit (strawberries, oranges) and fresh vegetables. Peppers contain a lot of vitamin C, dark green leafy vegetables such as broccoli, spinach and savoy cabbage contain a lot of vitamin E. Wholemeal products and almonds round off a healthy, rejuvenating diet. Vegetables containing carotenoids such as pumpkin and carrots have a cell-rejuvenating effect.
In addition to a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water is a beauty secret, especially mineral water. Drinking plenty of water keeps the cells hydrated and the skin supple. You should drink a few glasses of water throughout the day, not just when you are thirsty, as thirst is already a sign of dehydration.
A well-trained body always looks younger and more beautiful than a bloated one. Daily exercise keeps the body fit and the skin firm. For the best results, you should focus on cardiovascular exercises, muscle training and stretching exercises. 6 weeks of regular exercise three times a week for an hour at a time will show the first results.
It's not for nothing that a nap in the afternoon is called beauty sleep. The body regenerates during sleep. The blood flow to the muscles improves and helps the body to recover from stress. Not only is a short midday nap restorative, a sufficient 6-8 hour nap at night has a rejuvenating effect.
UV rays from the sun dramatically accelerate skin ageing. Too much sun causes dark pigmentation spots, which can visually disrupt the overall appearance of the skin. If you want to avoid premature skin ageing, do not leave the house in strong sunshine without sufficient sun protection lotion.
Small imperfections on the skin can be visually smoothed out with a good cosmetic foundation cream. It is best to use special make-up for mature skin that smoothes pores and small wrinkles and contains reflective minerals that make the skin look fresher.
A fashionable haircut and perhaps a different hair colour can rejuvenate you by years. However, the haircut must still match your hair type; a haircut that is too harsh and youthful can have the opposite effect. Dyeing or tinting your hair can help, especially if your hair is starting to turn grey. It often makes a difference to use a tint that matches your natural colour or to add a few highlights to your hair.
