The Simple Things You Can Do To Prevent Aging
Did you know that there are things we do on a daily basis that actually contribute to our ageing and make us (and our skin) "lose firmness" faster? Sadly, it’s true. But hey,don’t panic! If we were more aware of what some of these things are, we can still change our old ways and help prevent premature ageing (Yay!). Let's go through the 5 most common things that speed up the clock!
Your Diet
The most important factor to premature ageing that we do every day is eating the wrong kinds of food and drinking the wrong kinds of drinks. Chronic inflammation is a condition that not only speeds up wrinkle formation, but is a slow silent disease that we all want to avoid. To do this, we should avoid eating white bread, pasta, cheeseburgers, food with trans fats, sugar, gluten, and food with omega-6 fatty acids. We should also avoid drinking too much alcohol and milk to avoid chronic inflammation. What we should be eating more of to avoid inflammation and to help maintain the softness and suppleness of our skin are food rich in omega-3 fatty acids and alpha-linoleic acid such as flaxseed, avocados, salmon, and olive oil. Fruits and vegetables are also a very important part of our diet. Yes, our mothers were right all along.
Remember that feeding your body from the inside is just as important as feeding your skin from the outside! La Mav offers certified organic, pure, toxic-free products that deliver outstanding results naturally!
Too Much Stress
Studies have shown that stress can speed up cellular ageing. But with today’s dog eat dog world, there is no escaping stress in our daily lives. So, to prevent the speed up of cellular ageing, we have to at least lessen the stress in our lives. I know that’s easier being said than done. But if there is no way for you to reduce the hours at work, take time out within the week to de-stress. Take up a yoga class to clear your mind and to get exercise at the same time. Yoga can relieve those tense muscles brought about by the stress at work. Also, try to cut down on caffeine and processed foods, as these also stress out our digestive system.
Negative Thoughts
You may not realize it, but when you are thinking negative thoughts, you’re expressing them silently too with your facial expressions. I mean, have you ever caught yourself smiling while thinking negative thoughts? I sure do hope not! That could mean you’re brewing some evil plan (Creepy!). Anyway, most people also frown and experience stress-related symptoms when thinking negative thoughts. Frowning and stressing yourself out, again, leads to pre-mature ageing. So try not to worry about the littlest of things and smile more. Although, smiling, they say, also leads to crow’s feet and smile lines. Which leads us to our next everyday thing that ages us.
Ditching Moisturizers & Eye Creams
As I mentioned about smiling, this can also lead to wrinkles. But, with the right products, these premature wrinkles can be avoided. Some of us might be too lazy to apply eye cream daily. But if you want to stay looking youthful even in your prime, as early as possible, invest in a good eye cream. Of course like a good eye cream, a good moisturizer also helps prevent premature wrinkles. If you’re already seeing signs of premature ageing, a moisturizer with hibiscus is a good choice for you. Hibiscus can help relax skin and visibly smooth wrinkles. Talk about a miracle flower!

Skipping Sun Protection
Lastly, as much as we love getting our golden tans, the sun is probably the number 1 cause for premature ageing. Excessive sun exposure leads to wrinkles, and worse, skin cancer. A sunscreen that’s at least SPF 30 is advisable for daily use. It’s best to purchase separate sunscreens for the face and body, as body sunscreens may be too harsh for your face and cause breakouts. Also, purchase makeup with SPF to add even more protection. And if you can, avoid sun exposure between 10am and 4pm. If you absolutely can’t avoid it, wear a hat and clothing to protect your bare skin. Trust me, you will thank your younger version of you 20 years from now.
