Eat a healthy diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid excess sugar and fat and drink plenty of water. Just six glasses a day will improve your skin's appearance in only a week by temporarily filling in age lines and plumping up small wrinkles. Try not to use hot water when cleansing your face. It may feel good but heat helps break down Elastin, making the skin sag over time. Cleanse with lukewarm or cool water instead.
Exercise increases blood circulation, which delivers oxygen to cells and creates better skin color.
Exercise will also help improve your sleep and lower your stress levels. Many doctors are beginning to recommend stress-reducing techniques for their patients such as yoga and meditation. These techniques can slow and sometimes reverse facial aging by relaxing facial muscles. Use a daily moisturizer to help diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles and always use a facial scrub once a week to remove dead skin cells. If you opt for one of the latest skin renewal products containing Alpha Hydroxy or Glycolic acid, be careful not to use one that is too strong as it can cause irritation and increase your skins sensitivity to ultraviolet light.
