Can your lifestyle have an effect on your skin? Well, the answer is a resounding “Yes!” Let us look at one very common example of, let us say, a teenage superstar who burst onto the scene and became very popular because of her fresh, new look. Look at her photograph in a couple of years. Apart from looking old and haggard, she looks twenty years older than she did when she first burst upon the silver screen. How could that have happened, you may ask. Well, that is the side effect of working and staying up late, living life emperor size, not getting enough sleep, slathering your face with lots and lots of make-up, and not allowing your skin to breathe. Then, add to this lethal mixture of a steady diet of too many meals on the go and too much partying.
Yes, choosing the right anti-aging lifestyle is necessary for you to keep yourself looking younger, as well as staying healthy. A number of people start going in for anti-aging skin treatments, like chemical peels and Botox, while still in their mid-twenties. Not only is this a terrible way to treat your skin, but you are paving the way for a future of making your skin accustomed to chemical treatment instead of healing itself or rejuvenating itself naturally. Therefore, you should not be surprised that you look rather old by the time you reach your thirties. Apart from that, there is always a chance that your doctor will botch up the treatment and make you look old, instead of young and youthful! You would not want to take that chance, would you?
So, what is the right anti-aging lifestyle going to consist of? Firstly, it is a question of a physician, heal thyself. Instead of going to expensive places to get anti-aging skin treatments done, you can start doing a little bit of naturopathy right at home. Cut down on the alcohol and coffee intake. Instead, start drinking fresh fruit juices (not concentrates, please!). Make sure your body is well hydrated at all times. Remember to protect your skin from any sort of direct exposure to the sun by moisturizing it before you go out. This not only prevents your skin from drying out but also stops it from wrinkling or shrinking. You could boost your Vitamin E intake in the shape of fresh fruits and vegetables to make sure that your skin stays elastic, due to the production of collagen.
You are going to be surprised to know that plenty of exercise in the fresh air, especially in the park and far away from the smoke and smog of a hustling, bustling city, can do wonders to your health as well as to your skin. Try escaping to the mountains for a day or two in the fresh air. Not only is that exercise going to do wonders to the general state of your health, but it is also going to make your skin look younger! The proof of the pudding is that people living in areas away from the chemical pollutants in the atmosphere look younger, well don’t they look younger? Well, that is because they have found the best anti-aging lifestyle.
It is not difficult for you to change your lifestyle right now; all you need is a little bit of willpower and won’t-power. Say no to the late nights, fatty diet, sedentary lifestyle, tobacco, and alcohol abuse, and voila, there you are on your way to the most natural anti-aging lifestyle! Easy, isn’t it?
