Aging Gracefully – Talking Skincare, June 2023, by Reviva Labs

Webinar by Reviva Labs recorded June 22, 2023 - Aging is inevitable. Keeping a positive outlook, dare we say embracing it instead of fearing aging can help mentally and physically. Afterall, it’s a natural part of life that happens to us all but with a modicum of prevention and consistent healthy living we can enjoy the journey and minimize the outward effects.

Hi, I’m Elaine, today’s Talking Skincare host about Aging Gracefully. 

When it comes to looking and feeling your best as you age, taking good care of your skin is essential. So, let’s discuss some simple but effective tips for keeping your skin healthy and youthful.

It’s important to understand how aging affects the skin. As we age, our skin becomes thinner and less elastic, making it more prone to wrinkles and sagging. Additionally, years of sun exposure and other environmental factors can cause discoloration and damage. But there are things you can do to slow down or even reverse some of these effects.

Prevention is optimum. If you start caring for your skin at a young age you’ll spend less time correcting damage later in life. Practice prevention and you’ll naturally see the benefits. But even if you haven’t you can still age gracefully.

Maintaining a Healthy Diet and Exercise Routine is one of the best things you can do for your skin. Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats can provide the nutrients your skin needs to stay healthy and glowing. Regular exercise can also improve circulation and help keep your skin firm and toned. And getting the proper amount of good quality sleep is important too.

In addition to eating well and staying active, there are specific steps you can take to care for your skin. First, make sure to cleanse your skin daily with a gentle, non-drying cleanser. This will help remove dirt and oil that can clog your pores and lead to breakouts.

Next, moisturize your skin daily to keep it hydrated and plump. Look for moisturizers that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, essential fatty acids, and ceramides, which all help to boost your skin’s natural moisture barrier.

It’s key to protect your skin from sun damage by wearing sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days – even during winter months. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, and reapply it every two hours if you’re spending time in the sun.

Finally, it’s important to care for your mental health as well as your skin. Stress and anxiety can take a toll on your skin, leading to breakouts and other issues. Make time for self-care activities like yoga, meditation, or simply taking a relaxing bath. This can help reduce stress and promote overall wellness.

And try to appreciate the aging process. We all get older but a positive attitude can help you to embrace it and enjoy one’s golden years.
