Youth is the golden time in our life. We feel most energetic during this period. When youth is gone, we not only become short on energy level but also see our natural look and shine vanishing away. The first thing to tell us that we are inching closer to our twilight days is our skin.

Ageing is a non-reversible natural phenomenon but can surely be slowed down. It is possible to get back that luster and suppleness of pretty younger skin if you rely on effective home-made beauty care tips. Remember that an abrupt change is not easy to come and can be achieved only if you religiously stick with right beauty care routine.

Protect your skin from sun

Sun rays heavily damage your skin, making the signs of ageing like spots and wrinkles visible more quickly. Sunlight activates free radical molecules that cause damages to cellular DNA and as a result, skin’s stem cells generate imperfect cells. This imperfect cell generation undergoes a long process and only a single burn is unlikely to cause any damage. However, skin has magical power to recover but with age, such power decreases.

Sunlight is important for our body as it helps in synthesis of Vitamin D. This vitamin is one of the essential elements for our body. According to Dermatologists, it is important for us to expose our arms and legs to sunlight in a bid to keep level of Vitamin D high but too much exposure is never good for skin.

Carry an umbrella whenever you are going out in order to protect yourself from UV rays. Also wear sunglasses. Apply sunscreens on exposed body parts but make sure to use a branded product as some sunscreens use harmful chemicals that add to cancer risk.

Less makeup is better

Minimal makeup is always better for your skin. Heavy use of chemicals causes wrinkles to appear earlier. If you are using mascara, apply it only on your upper eyelashes. Choose an eye shadow that is light and look more natural. Dark color will make your look more dramatic but add to your age if you are already past your youth.

Use moisturizer after cleansing

Regular moisturizing is a way to make your skin look younger and more attractive in a natural way. Dryness causes wrinkles and skin sagging. Exposure to UV rays causes dryness. So use of moisturizer is a must to make up for loss of water in your skin and retain its suppleness. All moisturizers are not effective and so you need to be choosy while buying a moisturizing lotion. To be on safe side, buy only branded item.

Bring changes in your food habit

You skin needs proper nourishment even from within. Smearing sunscreens, moisturizer or cold cream is never enough to get back glowing skin and/or keep hold of shine. Drink plenty of water every day. Intake of fruit juice also adds to natural glow of your skin. Include tomatoes, strawberries, sea fish etc on your diet chart. At the same time, avoid spicy food, smoking and drinking.

Follow these simple tips and you will see the result after a few months, that’s a guarantee!
