Dear readers, every skincare company claims to have the perfect solution to staying young, but the truth is that lines and wrinkles are going to show up sooner or later. For many people, plastic surgery, skin peels, and expensive creams are out of reach and might not do anything to remove the lines on your face. The best thing you can do for yourself is to prevent these lines in the first place.

Simple Skincare Habits

Wear sunblock during the summer and winter; moisturize your skin (don’t forget your neck); never sleep in your makeup; and eat a healthy, balanced diet. Add to this a little exercise and try to stay within 5 pounds of your ideal weight — that is, no more than 5 pounds up or down. Yo-yo dieting can (and usually does) cause sagging skin and is hard on the body.

Find a skincare routine and stay with it, but remember, your skin tone changes as you age. So, the tints in your makeup need to be changed a little as your skin changes. A rosy pink may have looked great on you at 25, but not at 45.

Additional Tips

If you smoke, please stop. This goes for vaping, too. Both are terrible for your skin. Take care of yourself and love the skin that you’re in! Additionally, for those with bushy eyebrows, a simple trick is to use a cheap toothbrush sprayed with a little hairspray to keep the hairs in place and pushed up.

For those struggling with product buildup in their hair, a mixture of 2 tablespoons of vodka with 1 cup of seltzer can be used as a final rinse after washing your hair to cut through the buildup and make your hair shine.

Lastly, for those looking to refinish old furniture, tung oil is a nontoxic, natural oil that is extracted from the seeds of the tung tree. It is durable, provides a waterproof barrier on furniture, and gives a matte finish. No sealer is needed with tung oil, but it is slow-drying and requires days between coats, taking about 30 days to fully cure.
