Figuring out the best way to take care of your skin can be a difficult task, especially with so many treatments and products out there. However, there are a few simple skincare hacks you can incorporate into your regular routine to take years off your face.
Read on for the 4 life-changing skincare hacks you should try to get younger looking skin fast!
Fatty Acids
Dermatologist Jessica Wu recommends adding more fatty acids to your routine to get younger looking skin. "Your skin uses omega fatty acids to produce lipids (moisturizing oils) and studies show that omega-3 supplements improve skin's lipid levels and hydration," she explains to Allure.
Silk Pillowcase
Buying a silk pillowcase is the perfect way to invest in younger looking skin and prevent premature fine lines. "Your skin can't slide against cotton like it can with silk, so cotton pillowcases can actually create crepe-ing on your face due to constant traction and friction,” licensed aesthetician Brit Lanier explains to Cosmopolitan.
Still not convinced? A silk pillowcase is also a great way to keep your hair looking its best.
Sunscreen
This one may sound obvious, but it's too important not to include. Do your skin a favor, and use sunscreen. Sunscreen is a crucial step in achieving healthy and younger-looking skin--and not only when you are spending the day at the beach. Your daily moisturizer should have SPF in it to prevent wrinkles and keep your skin looking youthful.
Also, remember to apply sunscreen all over. If you are just applying it to your face, you're neglecting other key spots that show signs of aging--like your neck and hands.
Jade Roller
Jade rollers are a trendy skincare tool that are actually worth the hype. When used regularly, these tools can help you achieve younger looking skin.
"Using a jade roller to massage the skin will stimulate circulation in your face, so you can plump up and lessen the appearance of fine lines," Mona Gohara, M.D., associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale Medical School, explains to Self.
