As you know, aging is a natural part of life—but that doesn’t mean we have to simply accept the changes it brings, especially when it comes to our appearance. Thanks to advancements in science and the incredible treatments offered at Face and Body, it’s easier than ever to maintain that glowing, youthful skin, toned body, and vibrant energy as you get older.
I’ve been honored to help so many of you embrace the power of these treatments, and I wanted to share some tips that you can easily incorporate into your routine—along with a few treatments that can take your anti-aging regimen to the next level.
Let’s dive into some tried-and-true lifestyle, diet, and aesthetic strategies that’ll help you stay feeling and looking your best, no matter your age. Some you’ve heard time and time again, but now it the time ask yourself if you’re REALLY doing ALL the you can 😉
1. Skin Care & Aesthetic Treatments: The Foundation of Ageless Beauty
As we age, our skin is often the first to show it. The loss of collagen and elastin leads to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging, but don’t worry—you don’t have to just watch it happen! With a strong skincare routine and the right treatments, you can slow down the visible effects of aging.
Daily Skin Care Tips:
- Hydration is Key: Did you know that as we age, skin loses moisture because our hyaluronic acid production slows down? It’s so important to stay hydrated—both by drinking water and using hydrating creams and serums containing hyaluronic acid (Cerave brand at drugstore is my top recommendation). This simple step can make a world of difference in how your skin looks and feels. Lack of water = dry and dull skin.
- Never Skip Sunscreen: Sun damage is one of the top culprits of premature aging. UV rays break down collagen, causing wrinkles and pigmentation issues. I always recommend using a broad-spectrum MINERAL sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every single day. Trust me, your future self will thank you! Make sure it’s applied as the LAST product in your morning skincare routine. If you wear makeup, apply just before (Elta MD sunscreen is award-winning every year).
Favorite and Popular Aesthetic Treatments:
- Botox & Dermal Fillers: If you’re looking to smooth out wrinkles or restore volume, Botox and dermal fillers are fantastic options. Botox works wonders for fine lines and jawline tightening, while dermal fillers help hydrate and “plump” the skin in areas where we have experienced volume loss (cheek bones, lips, etc).
- Medical Microneedling with exosomes or PDRN: Want smoother, more radiant skin? Complete a series of medical microneedling treatments to target deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving texture. It’s one of my absolute favorites for improving tone, texture, fading brown spots, and the appearance of fine lines.
2. Food for Radiance: Eating Your Way to Youthful Skin
What you eat plays a massive role in how you feel and look – duh! But are we ACTUALLY making the effort to eat the right foods at LEAST 5 days a week for our health? A healthy diet filled with the right nutrients can nourish your skin, fight inflammation, and keep you looking radiant. Processed sugar, alcohol and too much greasy fat or salt wreck absolute HAVOC on your skin.
Top Anti-Aging Foods to Prioritize in Your Diet:
- Antioxidants: Berries, dark leafy greens, nuts, and green tea are packed with antioxidants that protect your skin from free radicals and oxidative stress. The more antioxidants you can get in your diet, the better!
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These healthy fats found in salmon, chia seeds, and flaxseeds help keep your skin hydrated and elastic, and they also reduce inflammation. Your skin will love the boost!
- Vitamin C: This powerhouse vitamin supports collagen production and is key for keeping your skin firm and youthful. Load up on citrus fruits, bell peppers, and kiwi to give your skin the nutrients it needs.
- Collagen-Boosting Foods: As we age, collagen production slows down, which is why adding collagen-rich foods like bone broth or collagen supplements to your diet can help keep your skin elastic and glowing.
- Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Chronic inflammation accelerates aging, so incorporating turmeric, ginger, and green tea into your meals can help fight it and protect your skin from the inside out.
3. Lifestyle Habits That Support Ageless Vitality
While treatments and skincare are important, how you take care of yourself overall—your lifestyle—can make all the difference.
Exercise: Your Anti-Aging Secret Weapon
Regular exercise is one of the best things you can do for your skin and body. It improves circulation, boosts energy, and keeps the muscles strong and lifted.
- Strength Training: Strength training is crucial for maintaining muscle tone and keeping your face lifted and firm as you age. Plus, it helps you feel strong and vibrant.
- Cardio: Activities like running, swimming, or even walking help improve circulation and nourish your skin. Regular cardio has also been shown to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.
Managing Stress: Keep Your Mind Calm, Your Skin Calm
Stress is a major contributor to premature aging. When you’re stressed, your body produces cortisol, which breaks down collagen. To help counteract this, I recommend practices like yoga, meditation, or mindfulness to help lower cortisol levels and keep your skin glowing. Use that in place of the nightly glass of wine (or 2) to calm down after a long day. The quality of your sleep will skyrocket!
Sleep: The Ultimate Anti-Aging Hack
Never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep! Your body works hard to repair and regenerate your skin while you rest. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your body to do its magic and maintain that youthful glow.
