Favorite Non-Invasive Ways to Stay Young
Que in the “Forever Young” song by Bob Dylan, because he definitely has the right idea! The inevitable has made its way to this present moment and here we are talking about wrinkle prevention. Of course, like a glass of fine wine, we are aging with grace but that does not stop our skin from going through its natural process. Keeping your skin looking young can instill confidence, and there’s nothing wrong with that! Plastic surgery can be an option for some to help eliminate problematic areas of aging, but it can be a time and financial commitment. If you are someone who is on a budget or cannot afford down-time, there are plenty of other options that you can explore. Here are more favorite non-invasive ways to stay looking young:
Staying hydrated
This may seem like an obvious one, but hydration is such an important factor when it comes to the appearance of your skin. By drinking the adequate amount of your daily water intake, it can leave your skin looking plump and resilient. With these effects, hydrated skin will naturally minimize the appearance of your aging process.
Botox
Botox, being one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments, is used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This is done by temporarily paralyzing the muscle. The procedure only takes a few minutes by inserting a fine needle onto the wanted areas. Botox does not require any downtime and the results are usually shown within 3-7 days.
Microneedling
Microneedling is used to treat and improve conditions like scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, pigment issues and more. Many patients see results after the first treatment. However, results vary depending on the patient’s skin. It is most common to begin to see true changes or positive results as soon as 1-2 weeks after the first treatment.
The treatment is done with a dermaroller which uses small needles to prick the skin. It normally takes 30-60 minutes for the full procedure.
Chemical Peel
A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure that involves using a chemical solution to help peel the top layers of your skin. This procedure allows new skin to resurface and grow. As a result, this treatment is used to eliminate wrinkles and skin discoloration, making your skin appear younger and smoother. Depending on the results you are trying to achieve, you can choose between superficial peel, medium peel or deep peel. While a chemical peel is a non-invasive method, there is some downtime involved. Superficial peels take about a week to heal while the medium and deep peel can take up to 21 days to completely heal.
If you are looking to find solutions you can do at home, here a list of a few of my favorite products:
SeneGence Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
This product has a calming complex made with natural ingredients to help relax the contracting of your muscles to the areas the treatment is applied. Some of the main ingredients include sesame oil, shea butter, and jojoba seed oil. This treatment is shown to reduce light and medium wrinkles when used consistently for 4 weeks. Apply this product on a clean face and use twice daily for best results.
SeneGence Lifting & Firming Neck Cream
This amazing cream was designed specifically for your neck and decolletage area. These specific areas of your body naturally have a thinner layer of skin compared to the rest of your face. Because of this, you can be more prone to fine lines and wrinkles in this area. Seneplex+ is a rich formula used to help firm and smooth the delicate skin. Apply the cream to the targeted areas morning and night after cleansing your face.
SeneDerm Collagen Night Pak
Collagen has been all the craze lately, and there’s a reason why! Collagen delays the skin aging process by promoting skin regeneration and elasticity. This product is made with natural plant-based collagen that is designed to help stabilize and maintain your skin’s moisture throughout the night. Use this product on a clean face every night, applying in an upwards motion from the base of your throat working up towards your face.
Aging doesn’t have to be a scary monster that lives under the bed. By being proactive with the methods mentioned above, you can feel like your best self and in the words of Bob Dylan, forever young.
