March 05, 2018 by Renee Tavoularis

Signs of aging appear when our bodies aren’t functioning optimally. Environmental toxins, prolonged sun exposure, processed foods, and busy schedules can accelerate the aging process. 

The solution? Treat your body well and it will shine from the inside out. Adopt Well Within Beauty’s 6 everyday healthy aging habits to help you look and feel younger at any age!

1. USE NATURAL BEAUTY PRODUCTS

Organic products aren’t just for your food! The skin absorbs 60% of what you put on it—both the good and the bad. So, it may be time to get rid of your toxic skincare products.

Well Within Beauty’s Super Nutrient Touch-free Face Moisturizer offers a certified organic, 100% natural high performing formula rich in super-charged nutrients, antioxidants and skin-replenishing ingredients. This unique touch-free, hands-free hygienic application strengthens skin's protective barrier against damaging environmental effects and boosts skin health leaving it feeling hydrated, soothed, softened and glowing.

2. EAT MORE PLANTS

Vegetables and plant-based proteins, like walnuts and lentils, contain essential nutrients you need to survive—and thrive! Plant-based foods are also full of antioxidants that help fight free-radical damage and clear heavy metals and toxins from your body.

3. TRY FERMENTED FOODS

Leaky gut and poor eating habits can cause a breakdown in collagen production—which we need to keep our skin youthful and elastic. Digestive issues can also lead to dull, weak, and inflamed skin. To balance the gut, incorporate lacto-fermented foods, like sauerkraut and kimchi, into your meals and snacks. If you don’t enjoy fermented foods, consider taking a probiotic supplement.

4. TURN OFF THE ELECTRONICS (AND MOVE)

You sit all day at work and then sit all night in front of your computer or smart phone. Exercise can reduce skin inflammation and produce endorphins (also known as a “happy hormone”). Switch off the electronics for at least an hour each day and find time to engage in a cardio workout or some simple stretches.

5. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN

Try your best to avoid direct sun exposure. Keep in mind that your skin is prone to sun damage even when it isn’t being directly exposed to sunlight. Hats, sunglasses and shade are your best protection, but when these are not appropriate, choose a safe sunscreen and reapply regularly.

6. SIT IN SILENCE

Busy schedules and racing thoughts are very stressful and taxing. Stress causes your body to release free radicals and hormones, like cortisol, that lead to inflammation, illness, and premature aging. Calm your mind and ease your tension with a few minutes of daily meditation.
