Anti-Aging 101: Start Early!


When is the right time to begin an anti-aging skincare regimen? People might think the answer to this question is easy; begin when you start to see wrinkles, right? The truth is, the sooner you start a preventative skincare routine, the fewer products you will need down the road. What do we mean by preventative? Here are a few ways to start practicing preventative skincare today.

Protect Yourself!
That’s right, we mean WEAR SUNSCREEN! And not just any sunscreen, either. Get yourself a broad-spectrum sunscreen that covers both UVA and UVB rays and use it every day. Our SLEEKSkin Defend SPF 30 not only delivers high UV protection, but also contains wrinkle-reducing peptides and green tea anti-oxidant extract. Even the best wrinkle cream can’t undo the damage caused by years of excess UV exposure, so start early and be consistent!

Stay Hydrated!
So, you carry around a bottle of water in your Louis and drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day. Kudos, you’re on the right track. But did you know you can hydrate your body more efficiently by eating foods that hydrate you? Eating fruits and vegetables regularly can not only offer your cells better hydration, but also give you a boost of powerful anti-oxidants to boot.

Using an effective moisturizer is essential in preserving a youthful appearance. We love SLEEKSkin’s Restore, a lightweight lotion with CoQ10 and vitamin E to boost cellular regeneration. It’s light enough to wear under your makeup daily without making you greasy. It’s never too early to start using an effective moisturizer. Add this to your must-have list and maintain that youthful glow for longer!

Get Savvy!
Ok, so not everyone can start a preventative skincare regimen today. What if those fine lines and wrinkles have already appeared? No problem. There are a ton of ways to send them packing. Stay tuned for the next Anti-Aging 101 article to learn about your options.
