As we age, our skin becomes less elastic, more prone to wrinkles, and thinner. The natural aging process is inevitable, but there are things we can do to slow down or prevent premature aging. In this blog post, we’ll discuss ten ways to protect your skin and keep it young and healthy. These tips are easy to follow, affordable, and effective, so read on and learn how you can prevent premature skin aging.

Nine Ways to Prevent Premature Skin Aging

1. Protect Your Skin

The first and most important step to prevent premature aging is to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. UV radiation damages the skin cells, accelerates the aging process, and increases the risk of skin cancer. To avoid sun damage, wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, even on cloudy days. Stay in the shade during peak hours, from 10 am to 4 pm when the sun is strongest, and wear protective clothing like hats, sunglasses, and long sleeves.

2. Use a Gentle Cleanser

Cleansing your skin is essential to remove dirt, oil, and makeup, but harsh cleansers can strip away the skin’s natural oils and irritate it. Instead, opt for gentle cleansers that are free of fragrances, alcohol, and sulfates. Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth to cleanse your face and avoid rubbing or pulling your skin. Pat dry and apply a moisturizer to lock in hydration.

3. Get Enough Sleep

Sleep is crucial for your overall health and well-being, but it’s also essential for healthy skin. During sleep, your body repairs and regenerates the skin cells, producing collagen and elastin that keep your skin firm and elastic. Lack of sleep can lead to dull, tired-looking skin, puffy eyes, and dark circles. To get enough sleep, aim for 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night and establish a bedtime routine that helps you relax and unwind.

4. Exfoliate Your Skin

Exfoliating your skin removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and stimulates cell turnover, revealing fresh, glowing skin. However, over-exfoliation can damage the skin’s barrier and cause irritation, redness, and dryness. Use a gentle exfoliant once or twice a week or a chemical exfoliant like AHA or BHA that dissolves dead skin cells without scrubbing. Follow with a moisturizer to rehydrate your skin.

5. Avoid Smoking

Smoking is not only harmful to your lungs but also your skin. It narrows the blood vessels and decreases blood flow, depriving the skin of oxygen and nutrients. It also damages collagen and elastin, causing wrinkles and fine lines, and makes the skin look dull and gray. If you smoke, quit smoking to improve your skin’s health and reduce the risk of premature aging.

6. Choose Nourishing Moisturizers

Moisturizing your skin is essential to keep it hydrated, soft, and supple, but not all moisturizers are created equal. Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type and contains nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, and antioxidants. These ingredients help to boost hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and protect your skin against environmental stressors.

7. Eat a Healthy Diet

What you eat affects your skin’s health and appearance, and a healthy diet can help you prevent premature aging. Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats, and avoid processed foods, sugar, and alcohol. Foods that are high in antioxidants like blueberries, spinach, and nuts can help to fight free radicals that damage the skin cells and cause aging.

8. Exercise Regularly

Exercise is not only good for your body but also your skin. It improves blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin cells, and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. It also reduces stress, which is a common cause of premature aging, and promotes a healthy immune system. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week, such as walking, running, cycling, or yoga.

9. Ease Daily Stress

Stress is a part of life, but chronic stress can wreak havoc on your skin and accelerate the aging process. It weakens the immune system, increases inflammation, and makes the skin more susceptible to damage. To prevent stress-induced aging, find ways to manage your stress, such as meditation, deep breathing, yoga, or hobbies that you enjoy. Take regular breaks, delegate tasks, and avoid over-committing.

About author

Selma Durmo M. Pharm

“As far as I can remember I have always struggled with sensitive skin. The issues culminated in my mid-twenties when I started having rosacea flares and redness. My personal quest for effective, safe solutions took a professional turn, and I was given the opportunity to apply my (Pharma) background in developing a new skin friendly product line. My goal was to create something new, a clinically proven sustainable skincare brand. This science backed probiotic skincare derived technology is a product of years of research and innovation in personal care products. Metabiotics contain naturally produced hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, SMase, lipoteichoic acid, over 40 peptides and enzymes. All assigned with specific tasks for activating the skins native repair mechanisms.”

Clean

Following the principles of Clean Beauty, we have joined the dedicated stream of safe, non-toxic beauty enthusiasts.

Our products contain carefully selected hypoallergenic ingredients suitable for sensitive and reactive skin.

We’re committed to formulating with natural, organically-derived, and skin-friendly synthetics while excluding popular “good feeling” and potentially harmful compounds to provide the best skincare solutions.

“It is easy to get hooked on conventional products, with inviting perfumes and the instantly pleasant skin feeling. The sooner you understand that those sensations are short-lived the better! Choose Clean Beauty and allow the science backed ingredients time to work wonders on your skin.”

Cinically proven

Our products’ superiority has been proven in a controlled study on 50 volunteers where it was shown that four-week product use leads to a significant increase in skin moisture levels (39%), increased skin elasticity (50%), and a decrease in the appearance of wrinkles (23%).

Other beneficial effects include decrease in skin sensitivity, increase in skin cleanliness, evenness of the skin tone, decrease in acne formation.

This study serves as proof of the skin’s gradual return of its protective layer, integrity, and balance. All study results have been published in a peer reviewed journal as well as the full study report.

“Putting all science aside, we are most proud of our users’ testimonials. All tested volunteers claimed visible and tangible improvement in skin feel and appearance.”

Transparency

The greatest breakthrough discovery we stumbled upon is that skincare and cosmetics should not be sensational.

Personal care should be comprehensive, accessible, and efficient, just as all solutions that come from nature are.

We are often faced with labels such as anti aging skin care, organic skin care, natural skincare products, which lack the necessary explanation… What do these phrases actually mean?

“Grown tired of all the misleading, incomprehensive, irrelevant information used in the beauty industry we decided to stick to a no-nonsense approach. It is what it is, and skin care is not magic! It requires commitment, patience and understanding your skins’ needs.”

Sustainable

We are dedicated to neutralizing our negative impact on the environment as much as possible and have joined the stream of sustainable skincare brands. We’re taking you on for the ride (we’ve even packed the goodies)!

To help minimize our carbon footprint, for every product order a tree will be planted thanks to our amazing planters at One Tree Planted. It’s estimated that a mature tree nullifies around 20lbs of CO2 a year.

We’re doing our best to reuse, reduce and recycle. Wishing to inspire a circular economy we have partnered up, to create a customized recycling program. Collect three empty plastic packages to receive your Anbiome Recycling Envelope and follow the instructions on how to take part in our recycling mission. 

Your good deed shall be rewarded. For every three products recycled you receive one product gift!

Technology

Today’s trends in skincare require the use of synthetic active ingredients which interact with the skin. Our approach is to distinguish natural alternatives, which mimic the skins native repair mechanism and are more efficient and ecologically sound.

Translating solutions from nature into industrial settings is hardly an easy task, but it’s one we enjoy undertaking.

We have screened 500+ different wild probiotic strains from the nature, to find the most powerful ones.

Special fermentation process was developed to harvest powerful molecules (HA, LTA, SMase, LA and 40 peptides).

Result is the composition of native signal components and molecules that keep the skin balanced, healthy and protected.
