How To Get Younger-Looking Skin This Year

It’s a new year with new opportunities to learn new ways to keep your skin looking – well – new. Or, shall we say, younger-looking, healthy, and glowing. With the right routine, you can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improve your skin's suppleness, and attain a more radiant complexion – keeping your skin in tip-top shape. Here’s how to get younger-looking skin this year:

Protect Against Damaging Free Radicals

Free radicals are one of the major contributors to the aging of skin. Ultra-Violet rays, stress, pollution, or a poor diet can cause the development of fine lines and wrinkles, but there are ways to build up your skin's defenses against these external agents.

For more youthful skin in the new year, it's important to use products designed to fight back against free radicals and adapt to less-than-skin-friendly surroundings such as the ELEMIS ULTRA SMART Pro-Collagen Enviro-Adapt Day Cream. Clinically proven to work in synergy with your skin, it helps it quickly adapt to climatic changes while also reducing the appearance of deep set lines and wrinkles throughout the day. Anti-aging and skin protection – all in one. You’re set. Oh, and don’t forget that SPF!

Exfoliate Weekly For Healthy, Glowing Skin

While there are various ways to achieve glowing skin, all of it is for not without exfoliating weekly. Why should I exfoliate my skin? Well, by exfoliating your skin, you’re removing dead skin cells and impurities that can make your skin look lackluster and keep your pores clogged. To boot, consistently exfoliating weekly helps to improve the look of discoloration, enlarged pores, and age spots. Can you say glass skin?

Try to exfoliate twice per week in the evenings. A simple way to do this is to use a gentle peel for your skin such as the Dynamic Resurfacing Peel & Reset which gently yet effectively exfoliates the surface layers of the skin and speeds up cell renewal in 14 days while also providing a phase 2 that soothes your post-peel skin with plumping hydration.

Pay Special Attention To Eyes & Lips

Your eyes and lips are two of the first places to show signs of aging, due to their delicate and fragile structure. Part of your new year skincare routine should include a hydrating balm for your lips and a nourishing eye mask to replenish the delicate skin.

Try a moisture-plumping eye mask that also provides a boost of anti-aging benefits such as the versatile ELEMIS Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask which can be used as an overnight anti-aging mask, a hydrating undereye primer, and a moisturizing balm to smooth and rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes throughout the day. Hello, bright eyes!

Pamper Your Neck and Décolletage

With all the attention to the face, however, sometimes it's easy to forget that the neck and bust area also needs some TLC. This skin should receive daily attention as part of your anti-aging skincare routine in the new year. Simply apply a pea-size amount of your daily moisturizer to these areas! And, while using your weekly facial mask, make sure to apply it to these areas as well. Say goodbye to sagging, wrinkled skin and hello to a firm, smooth neck, and décolletage.

It’s a new year. Make the most of it and put your best younger-looking, healthy, and glowing face forward. Cheers!
