Old age is so sneaky it creeps up on you when you least expect it. But let’s face it, it’s only a matter of time before those wrinkles settle on that once youthful and glowing face. But guess what, while you may not be able to delay the aging process, there are subtle ways to look a few years younger than you are.

So, would you like to look 5 years younger than you do right now? We’ve got you covered. Below are 10 beauty hacks to looking a few years younger and prettier than your real age as suggested by dermatologists.

1. Make Sunscreen Your Best Friend

Of course, it’s no wonder that this comes first on the list. And if you’re still wondering why it’s ‘cause beauty and sunscreen are inseparable.

Doesn’t matter where you’re going, take your best friend with you-in this case, sunscreen. Sunscreen can reduce sunburn, a major contributing factor to skin pigmentation, wrinkles, all of which can make you look old, even older than you are.

So, whatever you do, make sure your sunscreen doesn’t step out of your bag.

2. Embrace Collagen Supplements and Diet

Talk about anti-aging tips and collagen is your go-to. Collagen is an extremely important protein that keeps the skin glowing and radiant. Unfortunately, as you age, your collagen production rate tends to decrease which leads to saggy and dull-looking skin.

However, several studies show that taking a diet and supplements rich in collagen can restore skin elasticity and greatly improve hydration.

Luckily, aside from supplements, there are different readily available diets rich in collagen, ranging from Chicken, Fish, Egg whites to Berries Citrus fruits, and so on.

3. Start Your Day With Green Smoothie

Packed with fruits and veggies, smoothies’ got almost every nutrient you ever need to look younger. If you’re not a fan of green tea, you sure have been missing out on a lot of benefits. I’d encourage you to give it a try and watch your skin and health thank you for it.

The good thing is, in addition to blemish and wrinkle-free skin, smoothie also offers other great benefits such as losing weight due to its detoxifying effects.

4. Say Goodbye To Alcohol

There are two types of aging - intrinsic and extrinsic. While intrinsic is when your skin naturally becomes thinner and dries faster, extrinsic on the other hand is caused by external factors such as diet, especially alcohol. So, the way to avoid extrinsic aging is by limiting or avoiding alcohol.

That means alcohol should no longer be your friend. The days of alcohol indulgence are over, time to say goodbye. And the earlier you accept that, the better your skin feels and looks.

5. Drink Plenty Of Water

This doesn’t need much emphasis. By now you probably already know the tremendous benefits water provides for your skin, from radiance to youthful-looking. If you want to look younger, make drinking at least 10 cups of water your incontestable daily ritual.

6. Try Ponytail Hairstyle

Hairstyles play a potent role in your appearance. While some hairstyles may make you appear older than you are, some will make you look even younger, and one of them is the ponytail. Slightly pack your hair upwards to the back, and you have yourself a different look, only younger and prettier.

7. Apply A Moisturizer Before Your Foundation

This is a crucial beauty tip because not only will applying foundation on moisturized skin allow the makeup to stay longer, it can also make it look less dull. And of course, always remember to take off your make-up before going to bed.

8. Use Make-Up Sparingly

When it comes to beauty and looking younger, the first thing many people consider is make-up. I know it’s tempting to want to cover up those saggy parts of the eyes with concealer but it might interest you to know that excessive use of make-up can result to wear and tear of your face skin.

So you want to make sure you use the makeup moderately to avoid this.

9. Exercise Regularly

Research shows that regular exercise will not only slow down aging but can make you look a lot younger than your real age.

A summary of an experiment carried out at the University of Birmingham says, “A group of older people who have exercised all of their lives, were compared to a group of similarly aged adults and younger adults who do not exercise regularly. The results showed that those who have exercised regularly have defied the aging process, having the immunity, muscle mass, and cholesterol levels of a young person.”
