You can't stop time and the only cure for getting older is DON"T (not an alternative I embrace at this time)
but you can minimize the effects of aging with these tips
1) Wear sunglasses. Less squinting onto the sun equals fewer lines around the eyes. Choose a pair with the appropriate protections (995 UVA and UVB) and use them year round.. Snow reflects the sun too!
2) Use Sunscreen--it's essential to keep your skin younger looking. Use it regardless of the weather. Select a foundation that has built in sunscreen and has anti-oxidants too. Apply liberally. SPF matters
3) Eat well and stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Eat foods rich in Omega 3-fatty acids (like salmon, walnuts). Citrus fruits enhance collagen production, the lycopene found in tomatoes protect against skin damage. Avoid sugar which causes glycation in the bloodstream-a principle cause of cellular aging.
4) Wash your face and neck regularly: Never skip washing your face before bedtime. The skin on your neck is an extension of the facial skin and is just a fragile. Treat it kindly, using cleanser created specifically for your type of skin. Price is not always a factor of effectiveness. Do your research to find a frugal skin care regime that is right for you and your budget.
5) Moisturize your face with a product created for your skin type.
6) Get your sleep. 8 hours is required for your immune system to do it's work and for cellular repair to take place
7) Limit alcohol intake (and to help with hydration drink 1-8 oz glass of H2) for every alcoholic beverage you consume. That will also equal less calories consumed.
