Add Berries to Your Breakfast
The antioxidants found in berries protect against free radicals that cause cells to age and can also work to boost collagen production to make skin look younger. Add half a cup of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries or raspberries to your breakfast.
Use Wheat Germ Oil
Wheat germ is the highest natural vitamin-E food. Studies have shown it can help protect cell membranes from damage and can reverse aging in your brain, skin and eyes. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil in salad dressing or drizzle it on grains or vegetables, but don’t cook with it; the oil loses its power when heated.
Stop Using Foundation
Foundation can be extremely drying and can sap moisture from your skin, causing it to look patchy and discolored. It’s also naturally thick and therefore seeps into fine lines and wrinkles, making them appear bigger and deeper.
Women with dry skin should use a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation, and those with oily skin should use a CC cream. Both of these products have ingredients to cover, color-correct and gloss over fine lines and wrinkles to make your skin glow.
Erase Wrinkles With an OTC Retinol Cream
Retinol stimulates skin to produce collagen and speed up cell turnover, which helps create thicker, firmer and less wrinkled skin. Use the cream three times a week and give it a few weeks to see results.
Swap Your Face Wash
Alpha-hydroxyl acids (AHA) are gentle acids that help dissolve and scrub away clumps of dead cells and exfoliate the outer layer of skin to make the it smooth and radiant. Exfoliated skin also better absorbs night creams. Use an AHA cleanser at night to remove makeup, or on alternate nights that you use a retinol cream if you have sensitive skin. This is the only time you should wash your face, because repeating this every morning can remove too many oils and lead to drying.
Save Your Hair With Dry Shampoo
Use dry shampoo for instant volume on second-day hair. As your hair ages, it actually helps to not shampoo it every day so it won’t dry out. This trick gives you an instant fresh look.
Try Bangs
Bangs cover forehead wrinkles and highlight your eyes and cheekbones. Get bangs at your next haircut, and you could knock up to five years off your face!
