If you’ve started noticing pesky signs of aging or sleep deprivation on your skin, there are quite a few steps you can take to restore your face to its former glory. There are many potential causes to fine lines, wrinkles or dark spots, so it’s important to keep in mind that you’re not alone here – everyone notices imperfections in their skin, whether you realize it or not. And these “signs of aging” aren’t always necessarily caused by getting older. Daily habits, environmental stressors and genetics are often the culprits of skin flaws.
While there’s no arguing that a trusty night cream or collagen supplement can help defend your skin from imperfection, there are a few skincare hacks that experts say you should bring into your routine to help erase wrinkles.
Use A Facial Roller
Facial rollers have been found to promote a youthful look to the skin because they improve lymphatic flow and can decrease facial puffiness. Using a facial roller regularly can help maintain results in your skin, particularly a smoother complexion and a firm texture. For best results, you should use a facial roller with an anti-aging serum. This will help spread the serum throughout the skin to reap the most benefits from both treatments.
Moisturize Daily
Never underestimate the power of hydration! Keeping your skin well moisturized can help it to reach its strongest potential, making it more capable of healing itself of imperfection. It can also help smooth the skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You should moisturize at the very least once a day, but most dermatologists would recommend twice a day. Use a strong night cream before bed and a lighter day cream in the morning.
Get More Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful anti-aging ingredient because it helps skin tissue repair and grow. It is responsible for collagen production and is a potent antioxidant that can protect the skin. Using this vitamin in your beauty routine can help promote hydrated, brighter skin. The best way to do this is with a daily vitamin C serum, but you can also make a habit of eating more citrus fruits rich in vitamin C to keep your body’s levels of this vitamin high.
Prioritize Beauty Sleep
They call it “beauty sleep” for a reason. Getting the right amount of rest, which is seven to nine hours per night for the average adult, is crucial to promoting a healthy, glowing complexion. You must have noticed how lackluster your skin looks after a night of poor sleep. This is because while you sleep, the skin makes new collagen and blood flow is restored to the face. Both of these factors lead to a bright, healthy glow when you wake up.
