10 anti-aging skin care tips
You know that moment when you look in the mirror and realize, “When did I stop looking 21?” Yeah, that moment hit me. I looked in the mirror and realized I’m looking older. I’m getting wrinkles more and more and starting to have creases in random places like behind my ears. I know it’s inevitable, but when the reality sets in, it’s a different ball game. Sure, some of it is due to not taking care of my skin (because everybody always told me how young I looked and I didn’t want to look young!). Now regret sets in and I have to go back to taking care of my skin.
I’ve gathered 10 of the best anti-aging tips for my face and skin so I can go back to getting IDed when I’m out at a restaurant!
1. Drink all of the water
I’m good about drinking water and that’s what I drink most days, but our body and skin are mostly made up of water. I need to be getting what my body needs and deserves.
2. Eat healthy foods
You are what you eat, so make it count. Healthy foods with vitamins and nutrients are what your body craves. Give it what it wants. If those foods are high in water, you get a 1-2 punch for your body.
3. Exercise Regularly
Get those 30 minutes of exercise everyday. Or walk those 10,000 steps. Get your blood pumping and sweat going. You skin and body will thank you!
4. Wash your face regularly
You need to remove gunk and grime and everything that sits on your skin. Find a gentle wash and use it regularly.
5. Use sunscreen/sunblock
I’m so not good at this one. Put on sunblock everyday. Sun and skin aren’t a good mix (okay, well, we need some of it daily to get our vitamin D, but not what we are getting). I need to do better about this because I don’t wear makeup so I don’t get my sunblock in that way, either.
6. Don’t smoke
This is an easy one. Don’t smoke. It’s so bad for you for a number of reasons, and your skin wrinkling is just one of them. JUST. DON’T. SMOKE!
7. Rest
Your cells and body heal and regenerate when you are sleeping. Make sure you are getting enough so your body can take care of itself and do what it’s supposed to do.
8. Exfoliate
I don’t do this often because I have delicate skin. About once a week, a gentle exfoliant is good to take off those dead skin cells and reveal the nice new fresh ones.
9. Wear sunglasses/hats
While sunblock is good, if you aren’t wearing a hat and/or sunglasses, you are likely squinting outside. Squinting and furrowing your brow will increase those wrinkles and make you look older. Keep the shade on your face.
{So Mr. Serious doesn’t get offended…it was windy up there and his shirt is all blown up!}
10. Moisturize and use anti-aging skincare
Our skin is thirsty. Even after drinking all of that water, it likely wants more. I was sent two new Jouviance products, Restrictive SRD Coactive Anti-Aging Formula Cream and Restructiv Collagen Boost Needle-Free Wrinkle Filler Serum to help with my “old lady” skin
Jouviance is the #1 Canadian developed skin care line and one of the fastest growing demo-cosmetics brands in Canada and all of their products are dermatologist developed. Now, those of us in the U.S. can find them here only at CVS. Not only does their skin care feature the highest concentrations of active ingredients backed by clinical studies and patented technology, but they are also committed to protecting and treating sensitive skin while minimizing allergic reaction and irritation.
And, the biggest news is that they contain:
- NO PARABENS
- NO SULPHATES
- NO PHTHALATES
- NO MINERAL OILS
- NO COLORANTS
- NO ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCES
- NO ANIMAL-BASED INGREDIENTS
- NO POTENTIALLY IRRITATION-CAUSING INGREDIENTS
And, they are not tested on animals. The Jouviance brand has a science-centered and conscientious vibe, so I feel good using it.
The website suggests using the Collagen Boost first and the Restructiv second morning and evening and following it by a sunblock if you will be in the sun. So, that’s what I did because I follow the rules. I really like how these feel on my skin. They are lightweight, smooth, and don’t seem to have a smell (I don’t like my face smelling like some strange flower!). I get nervous with anti-aging serums and creams because they usually feel like they take a layer of my face off and leave it feeling raw. However, this didn’t happen. In fact, my face is feeling smooth and nice.
About Collagen Boost:
Inspired by the latest in dermatological skin rejuvenation procedures* this cosmetic alternative is an ultra-effective needle-free wrinkle filler which offers a visible skin-plumping effect in just 2 weeks*. Formulated with Pro-Collagen Activator (PCA), a unique amino acid copper complex that helps skin to look plumper and fine lines and wrinkles to appear diminished for a more radiant, youthful appearance. Get the visible volumising effect without the procedure.
About Restructiv:
New generation age-fighter combines 2X the concentration of pure retinol* with the proven efficacy of peptides and hyaluronic acid. A powerhouse combination that leaves skin looking dramatically smoother, plumped and redensified.
Lightweight and fast-absorbing, dermatologist developed RestructivSRD uses patented RovisomeTM sustained release technology (SRD) to deliver 2X the concentration of pure retinol* into the skin without risk of irritation. Proven† to deliver faster results across the 8 clinical signs of skin aging.
This anti-aging cream combines the strength of pure retinol, peptides and hyaluronic acid to restructure the skin matrix and fight the 8 clinical signs of skin aging: fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, dull complexion, dehydration and age spots.
I’ve been very pleased with these Jouviance products and I plan on heading to CVS to try out one of their face washes as well. And, because we are such fans, you are getting the opportunity to win a $100 Visa Gift Card so you can head to CVS and pick up Jouviance products to try out on your own!

First of all you need a good beauty sleep. Secondly, sleeping on your back can benefit you more as you’ll never get sleep lines on your face. These lines etched into your face and do not disappear when you get up.

I liked how you mentioned that taking overall care for your body can really help you prevent the aging of the skin. Being able to prevent aging is almost impossible, but preventing the wrinkles and how quickly your age appearance goes downhill is up to you. The best therapy for your skin is perhaps some good treatments on your part and a treatment facility if you are really dedicated.
