Looking younger by keeping our skin healthy and radiant is one of those things that most of us all agree on – we want it! When it comes to how to look younger, we are on a quest to find the best way(s) to keep our skin looking vibrant and youthful. There are endless tips, tricks, hacks and elaborate skincare routines out there that claim to have the secret to maintaining a youthful appearance, not to mention a myriad of surgical interventions.
When it comes to beauty and health, many people feel they have to compromise one to serve the other, but they can absolutely be achieved together. Refreshed, glowing, younger looking skin can come from hydrating and rejuvenating the skin, instead of restorting to injecting chemicals and toxins. We take a natural approach to healthy, younger looking skin.
If you’ve been looking for ways to make your face look younger, we’ve put together a few of our favorite ways to do just that- no surgery necessary! It’s time to rediscover the glowing skin that lives within.
Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture is a natural treatment to help you look younger that tones the muscles in the face by stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. Facial acupuncture is considered a safe, natural alternative to Botox, that improves skin texture, tightens sagging skin and brightens the complexion. Unlike injection procedures, facial acupuncture not only targets signs of aging but can also potentially help with other health issues like hormone imbalances, sleep issues, digestive issues, anxiety, and more – all underlying issues that, when taken care of, can help you look years younger.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that promotes skin rejuvenation to help you look younger than your age. It can be done at home with a dermaroller or as an in-office procedure. Microneedling creates tiny, microscopic wounds on the surface of the skin which causes the body to trigger a healing response – ramping up its production of collagen and elastin. Microneedling can help to improve the texture, thickness and firmness of the skin, as well as reduce the appearance of scars and pores leaving you with younger, more radiant looking skin.
Facial Massage
Facial massage, either done on your own or with a facial massage practitioner, is a stress-relieving and enjoyable way to look younger and more vibrant. Facial massage works to stimulate the muscles of the face and is a way to help tighten skin, improve sagging skin and relieve tension in the face and neck. Massage also boosts blood circulation, which brings fresh oxygen and nutrients to the skin, resulting in healthy, glowing skin. Better blood flow promotes an overall more even tone to the complexion as well. Facial massage can clear out the pores and aid in the optimal absorption and penetration of skincare products, so you should always follow your treatment with a serum that targets your specific skin condition!
Facial Exercise
There is one “anti-aging treatment” that is starting to get a lot of hype these days: Facial exercise! Facial exercise is another method to tighten and strengthen the muscles of the face – more hands on and active than massage. By adding muscle tone and overall volume to the face, facial exercise can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and help achieve a firmer, tighter looking appearance.
When it comes to how to look younger, facial exercise is one of those additions to your routine where you really can’t go wrong. Not only does it provide a stress-relieving and relaxing component, but it is a surgical-free way of promoting a healthy, youthful visage. We recommend adding a facial exercise to your routine everyday for at least 15-20 minutes for best results.
Of course, facial exercise and the other options mentioned above are all just singular pieces of the puzzle in the quest to look more youthful. You must also stay adequately hydrated, follow a healthy diet filled with whole, nutritious foods, be physically active, get plenty of restorative sleep each day, limit caffeine and alcohol consumption, and use sunscreen daily!
