There is no magic solution to avoid aging, but the way you take of your skin can help you age in the best possible manner. Using a combination of at-home skin care and professional services will often give you better non-invasive results.

Hydrate

When your skin is hydrated, it looks better, softer, and more youthful. The main way to hydrate your skin is to be meticulous about your water intake. Drinking water or other non-caffeinated beverages will mean there is enough water available to keep your skin hydrated. Additionally, make sure you are keeping your skin hydrated from the outside. Depending on your skin type, you might need different products to maintain your skin's appearance. People who have drier skin might find a combination of facial moisturizers and a light face oil, especially during the winter, keeps their skin hydrated. For oily skin, use a gel-based moisturizer. If your skin is a combination of different types, use different products on each area. Just because your skin is oily or has oily areas does not mean it is hydrated, but the oily areas will generally not lose moisture as quickly.

Exfoliate

Finding a good balance of exfoliating your skin without causing irritation can help you remove dead skin that can make your skin look dull and older. Additionally, when you can remove dead skin and encourage new skin to form, lines and wrinkles might be less noticeable. It is better to use products that are subtle exfoliants, which can be used daily without consequences. For example, some products contain hydroxy acids in lower concentrations. These substances might be combined with a moisturizer or night cream for regular use. Other options you should consider are retinols, which are also found in skin care products. Regular manual exfoliation is also helpful. You can use an exfoliating wash or face brush. When combined with other exfoliating products, you should only manually exfoliate once or twice per week.

Try Professional Services

Botox is a simple, yet temporarily effective way to minimize wrinkles or lines. Some people choose to use this procedure regularly to enhance their appearance or just occasionally for special events. With Botox injections, botulism toxin is injected into areas of the face that help paralyze certain muscles that are responsible for creating lines, such as those that form on the forehead when you make facial expressions. Although the extent of Botox injections and how often you choose to do them is a matter of personal preference, many people choose to use them conservatively. The goal is to have subtle improvements in your skin texture while appearing natural.

Your skin care is the best defense against premature or unnecessary changes in your skin. When your skin care is combined with professional services, you can achieve natural but satisfactory improvements in your skin.
