Getting older can be joyous. You understand more about the world and your hard won wisdom can be passed on to the younger generation. Looking old, however, never feels good. You can have the best of both worlds – get all the great benefits while minimizing the unfortunate downsides – with a little preparation and the right remedies.

Tighten Your Neck

Turkey Neck can be a problem as that looseness of skin is one of the defining characteristics of looking old. Combat it with moisturizers that can help collagen production. Alternatively look for tops that can draw attention away from your neck.

Be Good to Your Feet

Years of bad shoes can do a number on your feet. Take the time to moisturize any dry skin or cracked heels. Start wearing proper shoes – and look for orthotics that can give you the support you need.

Smooth Body Wrinkles

It’s not only your face that is susceptible to wrinkles – your knees and elbows can suffer too. Use a tinted body moisturizer to give them a healthy glow and moisturize well.

Banish Crow’s Feet

Over time your face will simply lose collagen and elasticity. That will lead to laugh lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging. Make sure to get anti-oxidants into your skin care regimen, and don’t skimp on the sunscreen.

Take Care of Yourself

There are some great ways to prevent the visual changes that come with getting older that don’t involve creams you buy at the store. Controlling your diet and eating more fruits and vegetables will do your skin a favour by strengthening tissue repair. Most people don’t drink enough water and staying hydrated will smooth out a lot of your body processes along with keeping your skin moist and supple. It’s also a good idea to cut the alcohol and smoking out as well as both have the ability to age you dramatically.

Getting older doesn’t have to mean looking older if you take the right precautions. Of course, if you need a boost to your beauty consider getting a facial to rejuvenate your skin. If you’d like some great advice and options in potential skin care treatments contact us at May Blossom Spa today.
