The best thing about these hacks is that you'll be able to create them using things you already have at home.

Oil on the Inside

The first of our anti-aging tips is oil. Research has shown that consuming olive oil helps prevent wrinkles because it boosts the skin’s collagen levels. Diets rich in olive oil keep the skin smoother than diets based on dairy and meat products. The byproducts of olive oil – stems and leaves – also contribute to the rejuvenating effect. As do vegetables that naturally go with an olive-oil meal, like tomatoes, broccoli, and various legumes, like beans and lentils. You’d be surprised how easy it is to boost your skincare in a matter of moments!

Oil on the Outside

The truth is you should apply oil from within and without. There is a rich variety of essential oils that produce a noticeable rejuvenating effect (some of these can be found in our products). Some of the best known include argan, geranium, grapeseed, jojoba, lavender, neroli,  pomegranate, rose, and rosemary. Often, you should apply them in pairs. You can find recommendations online – or discover combinations on your own. They are highly concentrated and you should apply them in small amounts. But as long as you dilute them with a carrier oil and perform a preliminary patch test, essential oils are full of benefits and fun. Just apply them gently to your skin, and you’ll see a difference in no time.

Mandatory Massage

A healthy oil and vegetable diet that is pleasant to eat and easier on your digestive system also helps reduce stress. The aroma and the sensation of essential oils on the skin produce a soothing, calming effect. This combines perfectly with massage, which has a similar double effect of rejuvenating the skin and reducing stress. Research indicates that massages increase the production of proteins that keep the skin smooth and supple. You can use a handheld facial massage device or massage your face with your fingers for three to five minutes a day. Thus says number three of our anti-aging tips.

De-stress Your Skin

Anti-aging tip number 4 – stress itself is known to cause wrinkles which means that the more you de-stress, the better for your skin. Supplement the above routines with other stress-reducing tips. Your whole body, including the skin, requires good regular sleep. Everyone needs their beauty sleep and it’s essential to have a proper daily routine. Combine good sleep with sufficient physical exercise or any physical activity of about 30 minutes daily. Even a simple physical activity like walking can be a great stress reliever.

Water – The Ultimate Solution

The next element to add to your anti-aging routine is always readily available and easy to use. Drinking enough water is very easy, but absolutely essential. Perhaps because it’s so easy, and because it has none of the glamour or flavor of other drinks, people often neglect water. But without sufficient water intake, your skin cannot hydrate properly. Insufficient hydration means the skin is less clean, more prone to infection and irritation, causing more itching and scratching, and an overall reduction in healthy. Which in turn causes both wrinkles and stress. So, number five of our anti-aging tips – drink it like you mean, men!

Fruits and Veggies

Remember the salad that goes well with olive oil? Like oil, those same ingredients of common fruits and vegetables can be applied directly to the skin in a variety of ways. Consider the avocado –  it’s one of the best natural anti-aging agents out there. A powerhouse of nutrition, avocados are extremely rich in oleic acid, healthy fat which makes the skin less inflammation-prone and less likely to wrinkle. Combine that with tomatoes to add a boost of antioxidants and vitamin C. Tomatoes help keep the skin well hydrated, complementing your daily water intake.

Healthy Honey

Honey makes a natural humectant that contributes further to the hydration and water intake of your system and the skin. Honey is amazing at moisturizing and anti-oxidizing the skin if you choose to use it as a mask. It helps smooth and soothe the skin, while its sticky thickness makes a great protective coating and salve for the skin, keeping pollutants out and vital moisture in. Like oil, honey can be massaged into the skin. Just make sure you get good quality organic honey and your skin is guaranteed a healthy, golden glow.

A Youthful Sensation

We cannot stress enough how important it’s to rely on natural ingredients. The market is overflowing with chemical cosmetics and anti-aging solutions and it’s easy to succumb to the temptation of their advertising. Chemical-based anti-aging products offer only short-term solutions and are potentially toxic. Nature already has the ingredients your skin needs to stay healthy and wrinkle-free. It is simply a matter of knowing where to look – and most of it is already in your kitchen. We hope these anti-aging tips have helped you identify some of these products and their benefits.
