Sadly, there’s no secret to eternal youth…yet. If you’ve seen the videos of the guy doing everything he can to stay young, it’s actually pretty impressive. Although we will say it simply looks like he’s had a few units of an anti wrinkle injection and has a skincare routine that he should stop gatekeeping.
Here’s a link if you want to see the guy chasing eternal youth.
Most of the time, that’s what it comes down to. A healthy diet filled with all the vitamins and nutrients and good hydration works to keep you young from within, but it’s the products and treatments that’ll make the most drastic changes to keep you young.
Read on for our top three products and treatments.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatments and Retinol
It’s the best place we could start. If you want to physically look younger and for longer, anti-wrinkle treatments like Botox and retinol products will work.
Botox eliminates crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead wrinkles, generalised wrinkles, and can thin the face by temporarily paralysing the muscles responsible for those expression lines.
There are no radical changes in facial appearance (unless you overdo it), which is why it has become such a massive trend. Collagen is stimulated and that youthful appearance and glow is something you’ll never want to end. A 1 or 2% retinol cream is all you need, but be careful around the eyes.
Remember to combine it with sunscreen because retinol increases the sensitivity of your skin to the sun.
Micro-needling and Vitamin C
Micro-needling and vitamin C are two of the top choices of many skin care lovers, which is quite understandable.
Micro-needling uses small needles to create ‘injuries’ and cause the skin to produce collagen, improving the skin’s smoothness and firmness. It really is a great and inexpensive treatment.
The outcome speaks for itself: more supple and younger skin. People with acne scars or uneven skin texture, such as roughness and wrinkles, also benefit significantly from the treatment. It is a relatively noninvasive procedure for rejuvenating skin.
Combine it with vitamin C, and you’ve found the winning treatment. Protecting cells against free radicals, vitamin C makes the skin brightly coloured and supports collagen production – vitamin C is a great anti-ageing supplement.
CO₂ Laser Treatments and Supplements
For patients desperately looking for an aggressive anti-ageing solution, one word: CO2 laser treatments.
It’s an effective therapy for deep wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and sun-damaged parts of the skin. Yes, the recovery time very likely tends to take a longer time than the rest of the lasers, but whatever comes after is miraculous!
For treating damaged parts of the skin, the laser helps remove the damaged layers wounding the area, creating space for healthy new skin growth. The change is averagely significant and long-lasting, as expected.
Combine it with anti-ageing supplements like collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, or antioxidants, and you’ll have fresh, young-looking skin for longer.
While the fountain of youth might remain elusive for us, there are things you can do to look younger for longer. You don’t need thousands to do it. All you need is research to find what treatment will suit your skin needs!
