“If I could turn back time” Cher belted out once upon a time. She may not have been referring to her skin specifically, however let’s face it, that’s one superpower we all wished we had going into 2025. Getting older is inevitable and even those of us with the very best genes (and yes genetics does play a part) experience the tell-tale signs on our face. From crows feet, frown lines to smile lines, as we get older naturally it shows on our skin.
The rise of facial aesthetics has boomed over the last ten years with treatments from botox, collagen boosters to hydrating facials being increasingly popular. So, what’s best to go for in the pursuit of keeping that youthful glow?
Read on to discover the anti-aging secrets doctors share with their friends.
1) Hydrate
How many glasses have you drunk today? (That’s water, not wine or cups of coffee) If there is one thing our skin loves, it’s clear and simple h20. Drinking at least eight glasses a day is key to keeping your face plump and hydrated. It is the easiest, most cost-effective way to take care of your skin from the inside out, herbal teas and fresh juices also count. Remember caffeine and alcohol have a dehydrating effect on the skin which over time can leave it looking dull and lacking that youthful glow. If you are looking for the first place to start with healthy skin, get sippin’.
2) Get your beauty sleep
Want an excuse for an early night? You will wake up feeling and looking younger. Sleep is a game changer for physical and mental wellbeing, aim for eight hours a night and try to develop a routine so that you make it a priority. Sleep gives the skin time to repair itself and renew cells from the damage that is caused throughout the day. From sun damage, pollution to stress – the skin takes on a lot and needs time to heal and replenish to keep itself glowing.
3) Prevent wrinkles
There are a number of treatments that can help you to prevent wrinkles from forming. One of the most popular is botox injections which work by freezing the muscle movements that lead to frown lines and crow’s feet. It is essential you choose a doctor that is experienced and listens to what you want to achieve. While some prefer no movement, others prefer to keep a bit of a natural look and an experienced beauty doctor like those at Brunswick Dental Rooms will ensure you get your desired results. Other treatments such as fillers and collagen boosters can also help with wrinkle prevention, to discuss your concerns you can book a free consultation either virtual or at Brunswick Dental Rooms in Kingston for a bespoke treatment plan.
4) Love your skin
Skin- care is the day-to-day way you look after your skin. Investing in good quality sunscreen, cleansers and moisturisers such as Dermatologica (a doctor’s favourite) will pay dividends. Sticking to a simple and realistic skin routine will help keep your skin bright and clear, cleansing and moisturising and applying sunscreen morning is an effective place to start. Topping up with hydrating facials and treatments once in a while helps to maintain and enhance your fresh, glow and yep – you deserve it.
5) Brighten up your diet
The brighter your plate, the brighter your skin. Loading up your diet with antioxidant packed fruit and vegetables will not only keep you feeling energised, it will keep your skin glowing and healthy. Vitamin C is the golden ticket for bright skin, think oranges, tomatoes and broccoli. Plus darker fruits like red grapes and berries pack a punch when it comes to protection. While the occasional treats come highly recommended (what’s life without a little indulging) balancing that with plenty of bright, healthy foods will keep you looking as young as you feel.
The Takeaway
Anti-aging can be implemented in the day to day way you look after your skin. Staying hydrated, eating a good diet and sleeping well are all key to that long term glow. Wrinkle prevention and enhancing a youthful glow can be achieved through treatments such as botox and collagen boosters and it’s always worth investing in a highly-qualified beauty doctor.
