5 easy ways to look younger

You can take quick and easy steps to look years younger, and you don’t have to drain your bank account to do it! Just try these five tips ...

1) Get hydrated, stay hydrated

If you feel thirsty, it means you’re already dehydrated.  And so is your skin.  So go for that extra glass of water.  Water-dense foods like berries, peaches, and watermelon are great, too.  When you’re fully hydrated, you feel better, you look better, and your skin is healthier.

2) Eat more fish

A weekly dose of tasty salmon can do wonders for your health.  The salmon’s Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, and less inflammation means healthier, better looking skin. It’s also loaded with nutrients that can reduce your risks of acne, rosacea, and even skin cancer.

3) Load up on vitamin C

As we age, our bodies produce less and less collagen, a protein that is essential to healthy skin.  Eating lots of bell peppers and strawberries can boost your body’s collagen levels.

It’s an easy way to keep your skin firm and give it that youthful look we all love.

4) Embrace the gray

Toss those hair dyes and celebrate your gray hair.  Just make sure it’s shiny and vibrant, not yellowing.  If your hair is more than half gray, consider a shampoo with blue or violet undertones to neutralize the yellow.

5) Use sunscreen every day

It’s not just for the beach anymore.  Sun rays can damage your skin any time of year.  So apply sunscreen regularly, especially under your eyes, since that’s some of the thinnest and most vulnerable skin on your body.
