Avoid Saturated Fats

Avoid food with high levels of saturated fat such as red meat.

On the other hand, a low fat diet is rejuvenating, especially one that is plant- based.

Kick the Butt

Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption as it can cause premature wrinkles and wreak havoc on a person’s skin

Low Sugar

Limit your sugar intake.

Sugar acts like an oxidant that produces free radicals and also brings about weight gain

Water Water Everywhere

Make sure you stay hydrated.

Drink 8-10 glasses of water every day for smooth and younger-looking skin.

Eat Well  Eat Right

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially the green and red variety. They act as anti oxidants and help to combat diseases associated with aging.

Multivitamins

Take oral supplements containing vitamins and minerals regularly to revitalize your skin, fight against diseases and maintain youthfulness

Go Green!

Consume green tea as it is an excellent anti oxidant which helps to detox and rejuvenate.

Sun Protection

Avoid the sun as 80% of aging is due to sun exposure.

Before stepping out do not forget to use a sunscreen with SPF 15-30.

Also wear those sunglasses!

Skin Care Routine

Follow the cleaning, toning, moisturizing (CTM) routine religiously.

Using an anti-aging cream with AHAs, vitamin C and E is also known to delay wrinkle formation.
