As people age, a common thing they notice is that their skin gets paler and duller. The reason why glowing skin is so sought after is that it makes one look radiant, youthful, and healthy. The most important thing to do to get that glowing skin back is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. At senior living communities like The Trace, we prioritize the health of our residents and do our best to encourage all our residents to live healthy lifestyles. Read on to find out more about how older women can get that glowing skin back!
Remember to Moisturize
Adding moisturizer to the skin is not the only way to ensure the skin remains hydrated. One of the most important things that many of us forget is to drink more water. Drinking insufficient water can not only lead to bumpy and itchy skin that is dry, but can also lead to fatigue, muscle cramps, and even an elevated heart rate. Furthermore, diuretics like alcohol, soft drinks, tea, and coffee can worsen the situation.
Keep Physically Active
Exercising has lots of benefits- it can help to improve circulation within the human body, which increases the rate at which nutrients and oxygen is being delivered to the skin. Furthermore, physical activities can also encourage the production of collagen and the growth of new skin cells.
Exfoliation Is Key
Exfoliation can help to take away the layer of buildup and dead skin cells which sit on the surface of the skin that can make the skin look dull and lifeless. Exfoliation can also help to unclog the pores and allow the other skincare products that you apply to penetrate into the skin more efficiently. Over time, it can stimulate collagen synthesis, lymphatic drainage, and better circulation.
With many good options in the market, you can take your time to find out what works best for you, and start exfoliating about twice a week. Exfoliating just two times a week can make a world of difference for your skin.
Opt for Skin Serum
Some types of skin serums can contain beneficial ingredients like Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and Ferulic Acid. An ingredient like vitamin C is a strong and potent antioxidant that helps to neutralize free radicals, and lead to slower photoaging as well as prevent the formation of dark spots. Vitamin C can also quicken the production of elastin and collagen in the skin. Using ingredients that are beneficial for the skin can help older adults maintain that glowing youthfulness that is highly sought after.
