1The Best Anti-Aging Methods at Every Age!
2The Best Anti-Aging Methods at Every Age!
- We often think that we dont need to worry about
aging during our 20s and 30s, and that we can
leave it till our 40s to buy those anti-aging
creams. However, this is one of the biggest
mistakes you can make. Aging starts a lot earlier
than we normally think it doesit starts in our
20s to be exact. - Our bodies start losing collagen by the time we
are in our mid-twenties. This is significant
because collagen loss is what shows up as the
first visual signs of aging. It is what affects
our faces the most. - So, what can we do about it?
3What is aging anyway?
- Aging can mean so many things to different
people. For some, it can mean a degradation of
physical healthbones and muscles getting weaker.
For others, it can mean the slowing down of
cognitive abilitiesnot being able to pick up
languages as fast as you were able to, for
example. - However, a simple Google search will reveal that
for most people, aging is concerned with the
appearance of the skinand for good reason. As
the skin in your face is thinner, more signs of
aging will appear there. - In scientific terms, however, aging relates to
changes in DNA. As this research article puts it
so well"if DNA is the digital information on a
compact disc, then aging is due to scratches.
Aging represents changes at a cellular
levelparticularly the health of the mitochondria
(controls cell death).
4Anti-Aging in Your 20s Get your Diet in Order
- Prevention is better than cure, and this could
not be truer for anti-aging. You are what you
eat could also not be truer for anti-aging! What
you eat shows up as the first visible signs of
aging on your skin. - Up until we are in our 20s, collagen production
in the body is quite fast and our skin cells
renew pretty quickly. Once we hit our 20s,
collagen production starts to slow down, and
collagen destruction starts to take over. Skin
cells cant take up to a month to renew. - Collagen degradation is caused by things called
free radicalswhich are a byproduct of everything
around uspollution, sunlight, heat, refined
foods, etc. Fortunately, there are antioxidants
present in fruits and vegetables that mop up
these free radicals before they can ruin your
skin. The takeaway isthis is when you start
ditching the sugar and oily junk food and start
eating those colorful vegetables!

6Anti-Aging in Your 30s Stock up on that SPF!
- You should continue with the healthy diet you
started in your 20s. Did you know that different
colors in fruits and vegetables represent
different antioxidants? 30s is the time you go
even harder with those colorful salads, green
juices and green tea! - Your 30s is where sun damage (or photoaging)
becomes more visible. Again, there are nutrients
in your diet you should pay attention to Vitamin
C, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, protein and zinc. All
these nutrients are involved in collagen
production, which you are going to need with all
that sun damage! - This is also the time you want to get your
skincare in orderwith the most important being
moisturizers and SPF. SPF is by far the most
important step in skincare, because it is the
first line of defense between your skin and the
sun. Even when the sun isnt strong, UV rays can
penetrate glass from windows and cause skin
damage.

8Anti-Aging in Your 40s Youre going to need more
backup!
- In your 40s, you are going to need more than a
good diet and moisturizers to save your skin. At
this point, damage that has been done is starting
to become irreversible. So, you are going to need
stronger topical products to give your skin an
extra boost. - Firstly, youre going to need a robust SPF
product. You may have been able to get away with
a weaker SPF in your 30s and 20s, but you cant
take that risk here. Look for SPF 30 or higher,
and a broad-spectrum UV filter that filters both
UVA (causes wrinkles) and UVB (causes burning). - This is also the stage where many people start a
retinol. Retinol and retinoids are chemical
derivatives of Vitamin A and is one of the key
ingredients in many anti-aging products. They
work because topical application of retinols help
thicken the epidermis (top layer of skin) by
increasing the speed of cell division (cell
proliferation).

10Anti-Aging in Your 50s Taking Extra Care
- Around your late 40s and 50s, lots of women will
experience menopause which is going to amplify
signs of aging. During these years, your skins
thickness in the face will reduce by as much as
1 per year, and annual collagen is at an
all-time high at 2 per year. Your face will be
the first area to suffer, because it has the
highest number of estrogen receptors, and
menopause causes a dramatic reduction in
estrogen. - So, in your 50s, you need to go out of your way
to protect your skin. This means your diet and
skincare is on point and you mustnt do anything
to tear the skin (e.g. picking zits, too much sun
exposure, etc.). You can also look into more
sophisticated options from your
dermatologistchemical peels, dermarolling, etc. - This is also the age where you will suffer from
volume loss in your skin. So, this means that
your eyes are going to be more sunken in.
Unfortunately, theres not many natural ways to
deal with volume loss, and youll have to look at
botox and fillers to build up volume.

12My Own Personal Experience with Anti-Aging Methods
- Until this year, I was one of those people that
never really fussed about my age. I didnt care
when guys asked me how I old I was, and I
continued my annoying habit of picking my
pimples. I always had a baby face, so I guess I
was underestimating the aging process. - However, it all changed just after my 26th
birthday in March. It finally dawned on me that I
will be hitting my 30s soon. It didnt help that
I suddenly started noticing lines on my forehead,
the skin around my eyes were getting darker and
hollower, and I was starting to see skin folds
around my nose!
13My New Fight Skin Aging Methods Diet and Skincare
- Over the past year, I researched and learned how
to improve my diet for better skin and hair. I
greatly increased my uptake of protein, zinc,
Vitamin C, and Vitamin Aall needed for collagen
formation. In food terms, this equates to about
50g of protein a day, lots of nuts, leafy
greens, carrots and green tea every day. - Because I had damaged my skin texture so much
from all the pimple picking, I also invested in
dedicated skincare to improve this. I bought
products containing niacinamide (helps rebuild a
damaged skin barrier) and hyaluronic acid (needed
for moisture).
14The Future of Anti-Aging
- For now, the best we have to fight skin aging
methods are those expensive skin treatments and
anti-aging cosmetics. However, researchers are
digging deeper into the chemical and cellular
pathways that cause aging. - If by determining those pathways and controlling
their parameterscan they slow down aging? This
is the million-dollar question that scientists
are trying to find the answer to. Their solution
would be to develop drugs that can control the
chemical pathways of aging. - One such drug that has shown promise in the
anti-aging arena is Metforminthe drug used to
treat Type 2 diabetes patients. In some models,
Metformin had slowed down aging and lowered the
risk of neurodegenerative diseases and (possibly
even) cancer. It is being considered a part of
anti-aging therapy, and whether this would yield
long-term resultsonly time will tell.
15Conclusion For Now, Keep Eating Those Vegetables!
- Anti-aging science is an exciting field of
health. Scientists seems to be getting closer to
developing drugs and therapies to slow down aging
on all frontsyour skin, physical and mental
abilities. - However, we are still yearsif not decadesaway
from benefiting from this research. So, for now,
the best we can do is to take preventative
measures. Use that SPF religiously, eat plenty of
fresh fruits and vegetables, and opt for regular
aerobic exercise.
16- A large plate of tabbouleh I made for myself.I
swapped in the bulgur wheat for white beans for
some extra protein and zinc. Parsley is extremely
rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin Aand the olive oil
helps to absorb it into the body. Lets just say
it is an all-round skinfood!
