The Definitive Guide to Younger-Looking Skin
Time takes a big toll on your skin, with each passing year leading to an increase in thinning, wrinkling, sagging, and more. While there’s nothing wrong with allowing your skin to age naturally, it’s also understandable if you want to try to hold on to your youthful radiance for as long as possible.
How can you do that? Read on as Vivo Per Lei shares a definitive guide to achieving and maintaining younger-looking skin.
Get Serious About Sun Protection
There are a number of different factors that contribute to the skin aging process. However, the sun is the most influential. One study found that sun exposure causes up to 80% of the facial wrinkles that people develop as they age, and while other studies may not show such dramatic results, there’s no ignoring the fact that skin aging can be significantly prevented by being diligent about sun protection.
This means ensuring that your skin is covered with an SPF 30 sunscreen year-round, even on dark winter days. You should also make the most of sun-protecting accessories, such as wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses with large, polarized lenses. On days when the sun feels particularly strong, make an effort to stay in the shade during its hottest hours. Sure, this may feel a bit restricting in the summer but your skin will thank you further down the line!
Add Retinol to Your Skincare Routine
Skincare has come a long way over the years, meaning that there are now several ingredients that you can turn to if you’re hoping for skin that looks younger and smoother. While that may be the case, one of the classics is still renowned for being one of the best.
Retinol is a popular form of vitamin A. There are countless studies available that confirm its efficacy at reducing the visible signs of aging, making this an ingredient well worth adding to your skincare routine.
How? Serums tend to be the most effective way to reap the rewards of this ingredient. You’ll find retinol included in the Vivo Per Lei 24K Gold Caviar Serum – an encapsulated formula that also boasts seaweed, mushroom, and fig extracts, plus amino acids, sodium hyaluronate, and beta-glucan. All of these ingredients are superstars at encouraging younger-looking skin!
Dial Up the Hydration
Keeping your skin hydrated is easy when you’re young. With your skin barrier being thick and strong, it’s more than capable of retaining enough moisture to feed your thirsty skin cells. Sadly, with age, the skin thins out and skin barrier function declines. This speeds up transepidermal water loss – the rate at which the skin loses its moisture reserves to evaporation.
Not only does this lack of moisture affect how your skin functions, but it also leaves your skin looking older, duller, and more wrinkled. Boosting your skin’s hydration levels can help to turn things around.
Sodium hyaluronate is one of the best ingredients for doing this, which is why it can be found in several Vivo Per Lei skincare products. We even have a couple of formulas that feature the ingredient front and center, such as the Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Day Cream. It combines sodium hyaluronate with a list of other hydrating ingredients, giving the skin a plump and supple look.
Target the Appearance of Any Dark Spots
It’s not just wrinkles that make the skin look older – dark spots do this too. These are usually a result of accumulated sun damage, which is why they tend to only appear later on in life, hence the nickname ‘age spots’.
Fortunately, the appearance of this discoloration can be lightened with the right ingredients. Kojic acid, glycolic acid, vitamin A, and niacinamide are among the best at doing so, which is why all have been combined in the Vivo Per Lei Dark Spot Corrector Serum. Use this serum daily and it won’t be long before your dark spots look far less noticeable, giving your skin a brighter and younger finish.
Slather Your Skin With Antioxidants
Antioxidants are essential if your goal is younger-looking skin. These powerful compounds tackle the appearance of free radical damage. Knowing which antioxidants to use and combine in your skincare routine can go a long way in keeping your complexion firm, bright, and wrinkle-free.
So, where do you begin with antioxidants? To keep it simple, try incorporating them into every stage of your skincare routine. Start with a cleanser that contains antioxidants, like the Vivo Per Lei Collagen Foaming Cleanser. Then, use an antioxidant-rich toner, followed by an antioxidant serum. The Vivo Per Lei Radiance Gold Facial Serum offers up some fantastic antioxidants, along with hydrating ingredients. Finally, finish with a moisturizer that features a few antioxidants and you’ll be giving your skin multiple layers of these game-changing ingredients.
Give Your Eye Area Special Care
The skin thins with age, and with the skin around the eyes already being significantly thinner than the skin elsewhere on the face, this area becomes very fragile as you grow older. This is why creases around the eyes are usually the first fine lines that people develop once they hit their 30s.
A younger-looking eye area can immediately give your entire appearance a more youthful edge too. This is why it’s worth investing in eye care products – these formulas will have been crafted specifically to meet the unique needs of the delicate skin around the eyes.
If your eye care routine is lacking, a quality eye cream is really all you need. The Vivo Per Lei Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream is one that will quickly bring about a younger-looking eye area. Packed with peptides, vitamins, and hydrating ingredients, it will leave the skin around your eyes looking smoother, tighter, and illuminated.
Be Gentle But Thorough When Cleansing Your Skin
Cleansing is such a crucial part of every skincare routine. It also plays a big role in how young your skin looks as you grow older. When cleansing, you need to be thorough to ensure that you don’t leave any impurities behind on your skin. These will only damage your skin cells and exacerbate the aging process.
At the same time, you also need to be gentle. As you know, the skin gets thinner with age. Any harsh ingredients, or even just vigorous rubbing/scrubbing, will cause damage and make that thinness worse.
This is why you need to be picky when selecting a cleanser. Look for a formula that contains gentle yet effective cleansing agents, along with other ingredients to soothe, support, and moisturize your complexion. Our top choice would be the Vivo Per Lei Hyaluronic Acid Daily Facial Wash. It’s brimming with hydrating plant oils, including jojoba and hemp seed. It also contains sodium hyaluronate, vitamin C, and several other ingredients that are loved for how they leave the skin looking younger and brighter.
Give Your Skin the Beauty Sleep It Needs
Sleep isn’t just important for your physical and mental health – it plays a key role in how young your skin looks too. Each night while you’re asleep, your skin cells focus on regeneration and repair. Even just one night of poor sleep interferes with their ability to do this, which is why you need to be strict with your sleep schedule.
Ideally, you should be aiming for between 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. If you struggle to fall asleep at night, consider making a few changes to your nighttime routine. Wind up a little earlier in the evenings, putting away any electronic devices a couple of hours before bedtime. Implement dim lighting, soothing music, and a comfortable sleeping temperature and you’ll be able to drift off in no time!
Of course, a good night cream will help your skin to really make the most of that beauty sleep. The Snow Mushroom Night Cream is one of our bestsellers because of its advanced ingredient list. Between retinol, sodium hyaluronate, polyglutamic acid, snow mushroom extract, and several other nutrient-rich plant extracts, it will ensure that you wake up with a soft and dewy complexion.
Don’t Get So Stressed
Stress is another aspect of life that can have a huge impact on your skin. How? It can cause everything from dryness and flakiness to excess oiliness and acne breakouts. It also accelerates the skin aging process, meaning that you’ll struggle to achieve younger-looking skin if you regularly feel high levels of stress.
Making an effort to lower those stress levels will not only do your skin the world of good but it will also benefit other areas of your health too, with stress being detrimental to so many other physical and mental processes that occur in the human body. Sure, learning how to de-stress isn’t going to happen overnight but, with some practice, you’ll soon understand how to gain control over your stress levels to stop them from soaring quite so high.
Be Consistent With Your Skincare
While all of the skincare tips that we’ve shared above will go a long way in helping you achieve younger-looking skin, they won’t do much if you only follow them sporadically. If you want your skincare routine to produce visible results, you need to be consistent with it. This way, your skin has regular access to those all-important ingredients. They’ll be able to accumulate in your skin in the way that they need to before they can start to work their magic.
If you sometimes skip out on your skincare because you’re too busy or too tired, make an effort to change this. Organize your products in a way that makes them quick and easy to apply so that your skincare routine only takes a couple of minutes on those days when you’re short on time.
Achieve Younger-Looking Skin With Vivo Per Lei
While younger-looking skin is definitely achievable, it does require some effort. Follow the guide when it comes to both your skincare routine as well as your lifestyle habits and you’ll soon be able to bring about skin that looks smoother, softer, and beautifully youthful.
