How to Make Skin Look Younger

Young, youthful looking skin is essential to looking your best. People spend large amounts of time and money in the effort to make their skin look younger. Having beautiful skin is one of the best ways to feel confident in your appearance. You can improve your skin by applying topical solutions, such as moisturizers and sunscreens. Skin can also be improved from within, by eating right and drinking plenty of water.

Things You'll Need

• Hair dryer
• Sunscreen
• Moisturizers that contain mushrooms
• Coffee berry extract
• Overnight moisturizers
• Water

Tips

1. Set your hair dryer on the cold setting and use it to dry your moisturizers and sunscreen. This will make the product set and will help your makeup go on more evenly and last longer.

2. Use mushrooms. Face products that use mushrooms decrease inflammation and increase skin firmness. Some mushrooms can even slow collagen breakdown and improve your skin's tone and texture.

3. Use products that contain coffee berry extract. This extract comes from the berries that surround coffee beans. Using this extract protects your skin against cellular damage.

4. Use moisturizers that multitask. Some moisturizers contain self-tanners, hydrate, and tighten your skin all with one step.

5. Use an overnight moisturizer. Many anti-aging ingredients are more effective when they are not exposed to sunlight. Exposure to light will break down the chemicals in the moisturizers and seriously impair their effectiveness.

6. Try to sleep on your back. Laying with your face in a pillow while you sleep can actually cause skin damage over time. Sleeping on your back also helps to counter the effects of gravity that take place during the day.

7. Eat to nourish your skin. Foods high in protein and zinc will help repair damaged tissue. Vitamin C will aid in the production of collagen. Vitamins C and E deliver anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidant help to fight against sun damage.

8. Drink plenty of water. Water will hydrate your skin. It will also help to regulate your oil glands, which will improve your complexion.
