Eat Probiotic Rich Foods

By adding probiotics to your daily diet, such as kimchi, you’re balancing your gut flora and helping your body stay healthy to fight inflammation which causes early signs of aging.

Why Gut Flora?

It is essential for your gut flora to be balanced. The bacteria in your body create toxins which can lead to overgrowth of yeast in the gastrointestinal tract. The overgrown yeast is released into the blood stream causing inflammation throughout your body. The inflammation results in signs of aging including wrinkles and fine lines. Causes of gut flora imbalance include eating sugar and drinking alcohol.

“Fermented foods have excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties,” says Dr. Craig Kraffert, MD, a board-certified dermatologist.

Cleanse Properly

The most important step at night before going to sleep is to remove your make-up and every day dirt and pollutants.  Avoid cleansers with harsh toxic chemicals such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and alcohol as commonly found in many cleansers available in the market.  If you have sensitive skin, it’s especially important to avoid SLS.

Do not wash your face in the shower since we use warmer water and this will dry out your skin.  The best way to keep your skin smooth and radiant is to wash your face as soon as you get home. This allows your skin to breathe. Rejuvenate your skin by using lukewarm to cold water before or after you shower. Make sure to moisturize right after your cleanse your face to lock in moisture.

Protect Your Skin Every Single Day

If you’re exposed to the sun at a young age without the ‘right amount’ of SPF protection, over time your skin can suffer with signs of aging including wrinkles and age spots.  The most important step in skincare is applying sunscreen after moisturizing and before applying make-up.  Get into the habit of wearing sunscreen with broad spectrum every single day, just like brushing your teeth.  Even if you have SPF in your make-up, apply sunscreen with broad spectrum protection.

Avoid the Straw

Avoid drinking from a straw, as it causes fine lines around your mouth over time.  Any repetitive muscle movement will cause wrinkles and using a straw will cause wrinkles around your mouth.  It’s also environmentally friendly to stop using straws as many straws are made from plastic.
