Good Diet
Eating healthy and drinking plenty of water is imperative to the overall quality of your health. In addition to building resilience and being able to fight off many diseases, healthy eating also largely influences appearance. Our skin is most commonly a reflection of the state of our inner ecology. Beauty on the inside manifests itself as beauty on the outside. Getting the proper nutrients via diet can nourish the tissues and cells, creating a vibrant glow in your skin. Proper hydration prevents skin from developing any dryness and adds life to the skin. Also, consuming a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and fruits can actually protect the skin against UV radiation. Foods like melons, kiwi, papaya, tomatoes, avocados, spinach, broccoli, and carrots are high in Vitamin E, which replenishes skin cell membranes and shields us against sun damage that can make us look older than we actually are. Antioxidant-rich foods like berries and dark leafy greens are also a key in turning back the clock as aging is a result of oxidation.
REDUCE CAFFEINE AND ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
Unfortunately, as popular as they are, alcohol and caffeine are known to deplete vital nutrients from the skin, creating a dullness in our complexion. Additionally, alcohol dilates the blood vessels, which can end up causing wiry red veins on the surface of the skin, especially on the face. This is not to say never come near these things, but consume with caution and moderation. You can also help to mitigate their effects by drinking ample water and making sure to provide your body with all the essential vitamins and minerals it needs.
PRACTICE GOOD SKINCARE
Men’s skin varies drastically from the skin of a woman, men’s skin is thicker and packed with more sebaceous glands and hair follicles than women’s, thus it’s crucial to lean towards products oriented and designed specifically for males grooming. Washing your face with quality cleanser, motorizing your skin, exfoliating, and perhaps a face mask on occasion will work wonders for the beauty of your skin. Sea buckthorn oil, vitamin a, c, and rose, are common ingredients that are tremendously beautifying.
Antioxidants (think: vitamin c and vitamin e) can help combat the effects of oxidative stress (i.E. Free radicals from the sun that cause cellular and tissue damage), while a topical vitamin a derivative (in the form of retinol or retinoid) can increase cell turnover to improve tone and texture
EXERCISE
Exercise, like healthy eating, can create a glow in your skin from within. Exercising boosts your cardiovascular health and overall energy while working a sweat can help your body detoxify causing all the gunk inside of us to be expelled. More energy, improved muscle tone, and less excess fat might not be water from the fountain of youth but your increased vitality and vibrant, clear, and toxin-free skin will make you feel—and look—more youthful.
USE SUNSCREEN
Protecting against the sun’s harmful UV rays is indispensable when it comes to maintaining good skin health regardless of your skin type or how strong you think your skin is. Sunscreen isn’t just something you apply when you go to the beach— using a moisturizer with a low SPF or a facial skin-specific sunscreen on a daily basis will prevent sun damage. And when you do head down to the beach or spend a long day outdoors, use a high SPF sunscreen on any exposed skin to keep it from receiving any harm from the strong rays of the sun. SkinMedica is one particular brand that offers top-of-the-line men’s anti-aging products, including broad-spectrum sunscreen in both SPF 34 and 50, as well as a tinted sunscreen and repair formula to protect and improve your skin’s appearance.
TAKE SUPPLEMENTS
Along with a quality skincare regimen, exercise, and a healthy diet, men can take daily supplements to stay youthful and fit. Choose a quality multivitamin that will ensure your body receives all the proper nutrients it needs to perform optimally. The right supplements can help keep skin looking fresh and energized when combined with an overall wellness lifestyle.
GET PROFESSIONAL SKINCARE TREATMENTS
If you want to go beyond healthy living to maintain a youthful appearance, don’t be afraid to check out cosmetic procedures like facials, laser treatments, and chemical peels, which are very popular for men.
TRY DERMAL FILLERS AND OTHER INJECTABLES
Dermal fillers and injectables, such as Botox or Dysport, are another great option for promoting a youthful appearance. They not only improve the look of your skin but also prevent new, deep wrinkles and fine lines from forming. Botox is the most widely used and effective injectable on the market. It works by relaxing muscle areas in the face, preventing any formation of new lines and smoothing out the lines that already do exist. Dysport works similarly to target moderate to severe frown lines and deep lines between the eyebrows. Dermal fillers are another effective way to fight the signs of aging on men, filling in lines created from frowning and squinting or enhancing volume loss on the face.
