Tips For Anti-Aging.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Korea? Is it K-pop, K-drama or K-beauty? If you also wonder how Koreans look so young, then you have come to the right place. In this article, I will be sharing with you some tips on how to look younger than your age.

Before I move on to anti-aging, lets first discuss the factors that cause aging. There are 4 main factors that lead to aging.

The first factor is UV rays, the sun's harmful rays directly damages our skin leading to age spots, wrinkles etc.

The second factor is free radicals. These damages our cells and it plays a huge role in aging.

The third factor is the dry skin. As you age, you produce less sebum, and aging of the skin is accelerated due to the skin's low moisture level. Therefore if you have dry skin and you don't hydrate, you are going to age really quick.

The fourth and last factor is our lifestyle. Our lifestyle has a lot to do with our skin and there are certain lifestyle habits that can speed up aging. For example, smoking can make you age really quick. This is because when you blow out the smoke it reduces the oxygen level around our mouth and the motion can cause wrinkles.

Now let's jump into the anti-aging tips that a lot of Koreans use to maintain their youthful skin.

Tip 1: Healthy lifestyle:
It is very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to have beautiful skin. Smoking, drinking, overeating, lack of sleep and too much caffeine can cause aging. So it is important to be careful about these factors.

Tip 2: Food:
Foods such as Ginseng, Anchovies, beans, fruits and vegetables are some examples that can help you maintain youthful skin. Ginseng and beans have anti-oxidants that not only prevent aging but also reduces tiredness.

Tip 3: Massage.
Regular facial massage can also help in reducing sagging skin and wrinkles and will prevent aging. Tapping motion stimulates the lymph nodes which prevents aging by promoting blood circulation and eliminating waste. Massage along your laugh lines, your jawline and in between your eyes can really be beneficial.

Tip 4: Ingredients to look for:
Some ingredients that can help you with aging are Vitamin C, Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Elastin and honey. These are components that are beneficial for the dermis.

Everyone has to eventually age one day. We cannot stop it. But all we can do is slow down the process. There is never a perfect age to start anti-ageing. You can always start when you feel that your skin is in the need of it. So always listen to your skin and your skin will love you back.
