Your face is the first place people notice you and the focus when communicating with others. However, skin changes over time and we no longer feel confident with our faces. Having a youthful face and bright skin is a sign of health, vitality and also affects the way others interact with you. By taking good care of your skin, making lifestyle changes, and using medical treatments, you can make your face look younger with bright and youthful skin.

Steps

Part 1 of 4: Take good care of your skin

1. 

   Wash your face regularly and gently. Dirt or even pimples can make skin less youthful, especially as you get older. Always clean facial skin prevents dirt from accumulating in wrinkles and prevents skin rashes.
   • Use a gentle cleanser with a neutral pH. Your skin has a natural pH of 5 and you need to find a cleanser that helps maintain that balance. See product information for specific pH levels or say “pH balance” or “neutral pH”.
   • Use an oil-free cleanser if your skin is oily. Glycerine or cream cleansers are suitable for dry skin.
   • Apply the cleanser to the skin gently. Rough handling when washing your face can irritate the skin and cause skin aging.
   • Wash your face with warm water. Water that is too hot can strip the skin of essential oils or cause irritation, causing skin to lose its youthful appearance.

2. 

   
   
   Do not overdo face wash. Regular facial washing is important, but you shouldn't overdo it. Soap and heavy contact with water can wash away oils from the skin. In addition, the skin is irritated, losing its radiance and youthfulness.
   • Don't wash your face more than twice a day, unless you do a lot of exercise.If you are exercising or exercising a lot, use a mild facial cleanser to wash your face when you sweat, when your skin is heavily dusty, or when you take a shower.

3. 

   
   
   Use a moisturizer every day. Apply a collagen and elastin moisturizer every day. The correct hydration will firm skin, prevent wrinkles and make skin look younger.
   • Use moisturizers even if you have oily skin. In this case, you should choose an oil-free product.
   • Choose products that not only replenish collagen and elastin, but also brighten the face by tightening the skin with products containing silicone and hyaluronic acid. Read the product packaging to see if these ingredients are present. Note, however, that many manufacturers often exaggerate the results. Check out online forums such as Paula's Choice, which often feature product reviews from health professionals and past users.
   • Applying moisturizer with sunscreen can help prevent wrinkles.
   • Try using a humidifier in your room at night to increase moisture in your skin.

4. 

   
   
   Exfoliate the skin. Dead skin and dirt can adhere to pores and wrinkles, causing skin to lose its youthful appearance. Use a gentle exfoliating product to remove dirt from the skin and prevent multiple blemishes.
   • Note that an exfoliator cleans only the surface of the skin and cannot remove wrinkles.
   • Choose an exfoliator with natural or synthetic particles to reduce irritation.
   • Use a soft cloth to gently exfoliate your skin.

Part 2 of 4: Practicing nourishing habits

1. 

   Exercise your facial muscles. Relaxation and exercise of the facial muscles can help with blood circulation and prevent the formation of wrinkles. Repeat these exercises once or twice daily to help firm your skin and look younger.
   • Place a hand on your forehead and press your head against your hand. Hold for 10 seconds.
   • Sit up straight and tilt your head back so your chin is facing the ceiling with your lips parted. Do a chewing movement in your mouth and feel your facial muscles move. Repeat this movement about 20 times.
   • Tilt your head back one more time and puck your lips as if you were kissing. Repeat this exercise twice by patting your lips for 20 seconds each time.

2. 

   Change her facial expressions. When you use facial muscles, this creates a groove that forms under the skin. If the skin ages over time and loses its elasticity, then this groove will not fill and create wrinkles. Changing facial expressions can help keep skin firm for longer.
   • Form a regular exercise routine. Not only does this increase blood circulation and keep you healthy, it also makes your skin look younger.

   Choose a diet that's good for your skin. Some studies suggest that a nutritionally balanced diet can protect skin and reverse aging, while maintaining skin elasticity. Add nourishing foods like fruits and vegetables to help your skin look younger.
   • Avoid foods high in fat and sugar, which slow down cell turnover and cause skin aging.
   • Foods rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, such as fruits and vegetables, will speed up the cell turnover to make skin healthier. Eat yellow and orange fruits along with vegetables that are high in vitamins A and beta-carotene.
   • The addition of foods rich in vitamin C such as citrus fruits has been shown to increase skin's youthfulness.
   • Choose foods rich in essential fatty acids like walnuts or olive oil to hydrate your skin cells.
   • Avoid foods high in unhealthy fats that can cause skin to age.
   • Remember that unhealthy foods will ineffect nutritious foods that help nourish healthy skin.

   • Women should drink at least 9 glasses of water a day to stay hydrated. Men should drink about 13 cups of water.
   • Choose to drink water to help your skin look youthful. In addition, tea, non-caffeinated carbonated drinks and fruit juices are good choices.
   • Remember that you will also stay hydrated by eating lots of fruits and vegetables.
   • You can also drink caffeinated coffee or tea from time to time and soft drinks, but be aware that these can make you dehydrated.

5. 

   Avoid or limit sun exposure. UV radiation from the sun speeds up the natural skin aging process by breaking down collagen and elastin fibers that help firm skin. Excessive sun exposure can cause skin to age faster, so avoid or limit regular sun exposure.
   • Use a broad spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF every day.
   • Wear a wide-brimmed hat to help protect facial skin from sun exposure.
   • Cover your umbrella while sitting on the beach, pool or golf course.

   No smoking. Smoking speeds up the natural skin aging process similar to sunlight. Stopping smoking can help tone longer and help you look younger.
   • Observe the smoker's skin, especially the skin around the mouth. Smoking not only dries out the skin, but also enhances the formation of wrinkles on the face.
   • Talk to your doctor about quitting smoking. Your doctor can help you build an effective treatment plan.

7. 

   Stress management. Uncontrolled stress can make the skin sensitive and lead to many skin problems, including aging. Limiting stress in your life can help keep your skin young.
   • Organize daily tasks by setting limits and balancing a to-do list. Take some time off to avoid unnecessary stress.
   • Stay away from stressful situations if possible.
   • Set aside your phones, computers or other electronic devices for the set time each day to help you return to reality. Warm baths also help relax and relieve stress.
   • Strolling or doing some gentle physical exercises can reduce stress. You should only exercise lightly, such as yoga, so that you don't put extra pressure on your muscles.
   • Try meditation - an activity that has many health benefits, including lowering blood pressure and heart rate, reducing anxiety and depression, reducing stress, creating a feeling of great relaxation and good overall health.

   Accept the beauty of age. One of the positive aspects of aging is helping you to see yourself and become confident. Cherish the curves and contours of the face, see them as the medallion of experience and understanding.
   • Let the beauty of your soul shine through, which is reflected in your facial expressions and makes your face look younger. Healthy skin and sunny smile are great visual features of women.

Part 3 of 4: Using home remedies

1. 

   Use a cream with a retinoid ingredient. Retinoids are skin care products with vitamin A extracts. These products can improve skin elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles, dullness and dry areas, making the skin look younger.
   • Talk to your dermatologist about prescribing medications that contain tretinoin and tazarotene to reduce signs of aging.
   • Note that a lot of insurance companies do not cover drugs with retinoids that are used for cosmetic purposes.
   • Try buying a low-dose retinoid lotion, which can be found over the counter. This product is not as effective as the one with the retinoid prescribed by a doctor and does not leave your skin looking youthful in the long run.
   • Note that retinoids can cause redness, dryness, and skin burns. Even so, moisturizing your skin and avoiding sun exposure will reduce redness.

   Apply eye cream. Until now, eyes are still windows to the soul. Using an eye cream every day and every night will help reduce wrinkles, sagging skin, puffy skin and dark circles around the eyes, making you look younger and younger.
   • Choose a roller eye care product to reduce puffiness and make your eyes look brighter.
   • Use an emollient eye cream to tighten skin and mica to lighten dark circles throughout the day.
   • Buy a day or night eye cream with ingredients like vitamin A, vitamin C, collagen and peptides to improve the skin around the eyes.Read the product packaging to know the ingredients. As with other products, you should consult a dermatologist or consult an online forum with the comment of a medical professional or the person who used the product before purchasing.
   • Apply the cream with your ring finger. Because the eye area is very fragile, you will easily accidentally pull on the skin, causing the skin to sag. Using the ring finger can prevent the hand from being pulled too hard in the eye area.

3. 

   Use a home-based super abrasive treatment. Although super-abrasive treatments are performed in a doctor's office, many cosmetic companies have begun rolling out gentle home-based super abrasive skin treatments. Try one of these products if you want to avoid medical treatments.
   • Buy a set of products at a cosmetic pharmacy or large shopping mall. Lots of cosmetic or skin care stores sell this set. Get expert advice to help you choose the best product that suits your needs.
   • Talk to your doctor before using a home super abrasive skin treatment kit. Your doctor will recommend which brands you should buy or advise you to avoid using the product depending on your skin condition or allergies.
   • Be sure to follow the instructions on the packaging of the package you choose to buy. Using the product or using tools incorrectly can damage the skin.
   • Be aware that home super abrasive skin treatment kits are lighter than your doctor's treatments, so the results will not show up, but will probably look more natural than the results. professional treatment.

4. 

   Make up. Today's makeup technology has made great progress. The new formulas not only help to hide the signs of aging but also help to reverse it. Applying makeup to your face with the right technique can brighten your skin and brighten your entire face.
   • Remember that makeup is as simple as possible. Makeup that is too thick, such as using a lot of eyeshadow or foundation, can create the opposite effect and make you look older.
   • Use a primer (primer) to cover up discoloration and pigmentation in the skin. Primers often help to reflect light on the skin, helping you look younger.
   • Use a liquid foundation or a colored moisturizer to even out your skin tone and give it a smooth surface before applying cheek powder. Avoid creamy foundation as it can build up in wrinkles. Apply a colorless powder over the primer and base coat to prevent it from dripping if you want.
   • Complete your make-up with cream blush for a healthy, youthful and radiant look. Hit the blush cream on your cheeks for a round, youthful look.
   • Use eye makeup techniques to cover sagging skin and make eyes look bigger and younger. Apply a thin layer of skin-colored eyeshadow like beige or mocha from eyelids to eyebrows. Highlight your lids with gray, brown or black eyeshadow for a softer look, then apply mascara to your lashes.

Part 4 of 4: Firming skin with medical treatments

1. 

   Use light, laser or radio frequency treatments. Light, laser, or radiofrequency skin treatments can accelerate the formation of collagen under the skin. New collagen can make skin elastic and look younger. Keep the following in mind if you want to try one of these treatments:
   • The light and laser remove the outer skin layer and then stimulate collagen formation by heating the underlying skin layer. Your skin will be smoother and firmer after recovering from the treatment.
   • Light or resurfacing lasers can take several months to recover and will leave scarring, lightening or darkening of skin color.
   • Talk to your doctor about using non-abrasive laser treatments. This is probably a good choice if your skin is less sagging and less wrinkled.
   • Consider using other non-abrasive radiofrequency treatments. Note that the results of radiofrequency treatments will not be as clear as using lasers and light. Results can range from mild to moderate.
   • Find out if your insurance covers this treatment.

   Do skin peeling. If laser or light treatments frighten you, consider less invasive therapies. Chemical peels, abrasive skin treatments and super abrasive skin treatments remove the outer layer of skin, improve skin elasticity and make your face look younger. Note the following information if you want to do these methods:
   • The doctor will apply acid to the skin's surface during the chemical peel. This will remove some of the wrinkles and freckles. It can take several weeks for the skin to recover from the chemical peel. In addition, you also need to perform many treatments to get the desired results.
   • Abrasive treatments will wear the outermost layer on the skin. This will stimulate the production of new, younger skin. You should see results when your skin fully recovers from the treatment after a few months.
   • Treating super abrasive skin is similar to abrasion, but only removes a thin layer of skin. You will need a lot of super abrasion treatments to see results, but the recovery time will be faster than with conventional abrasive methods. Note that super abrasive treatments do not always give tangible results.
   • Usually, insurance companies will not pay for skin peeling treatments.

3. 

   Botox injection. Botox is a product made from Botulinum toxin type A, which is capable of making the skin smoother and less wrinkled. Consider getting Botox injections if you want to avoid skin layers or other invasive methods.
   • The effectiveness of Botox only lasts 3 to 4 months. You will need to continue injections to maintain the results.
   • Botox prevents the muscles from contracting and makes it harder for the facial muscles to move. This will limit your ability to show emotions on your face.
   • Note that insurance will not cover the use of Botox for cosmetic purposes.

   Inject a soft tissue filler (soft tissue filler). Another type of injection besides Botox is called the filler injection. Soft tissues, including fat, collagen and hyaluronic acid are used to tighten and tighten the skin. Note the following if you want to inject fillers:
   • Injections of fillers can cause skin swelling, redness and bruising.
