The early 20s is the best time to get proactive about skin care. It’s time to focus on a preventive and primary skincare routine to avoid oxidative damage and regenerate your skin. In addition, a routine visit to a dermatologist is a good idea to maintain your skin and hair and learn a good skin care regimen.
Apply sunscreen every day without fail: When you have youth on your side you might falter in your skincare routine, but beware, you might have to pay for it later. So, girls in teens and twenties make it a habit to apply sunscreen whenever you go out. You might not realise right now, but this habit will prevent early ageing and wrinkles formation on your face. The effects of sun damage might show up later.
Do some light exercises: If you are wondering how this will help prevent wrinkles on the face, know that exercise boosts blood circulation which keeps your face nourished and rejuvenated. Long-term effects of exercise prevent your facial skin to sag before time.
Avoid spending too much time outdoors: If your job demands you to outdoors take smart steps to prevent sun damage to your skin. Wrap a scarf to keep yourself safe and if possible avoid going in the sun between 10 am and 4 pm. Remember, sun damage is the primary cause of early wrinkles in women.
Drink plenty of water: Water flushes the toxins out of the body and keeps your systems hydrated. It also helps to keep your skin moisturised and supple. So if you are in the habit of consuming two to three litres of water daily know that your skin will reward you back by hiding your actual age behind a flawless skin in your 50s. If you find it difficult to drink that much water knows that fruit juices, coconut water and buttermilk will also help.
Consume foods rich in vitamin C: Have at least 1000 mg of citrus food in a day. This will help to boost your skin with antioxidants that prevent premature ageing.
Next, apply serums and products that address skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation, acne, or ageing. Products that contain active components like vitamin C, retinol, or hyaluronic acid.
Sleep for at least eight hours: Sleep goes a long way in keeping you healthy and fit and your face gets the maximum benefit when you follow a good sleep routine. So in your 20s avoid staying up late and try to sleep on time. It will not only keep preventing wrinkles but will keep dark circles at bay.
