When we are kids, we wish to group up fast and become adults. Once we become adults, we wish that we could be forever young. Of course, you can be young at heart but let’s face it, ageing is inevitable.
However, we preach by the saying, Age like fine wine!
Ageing is a natural process but how to slow down ageing is completely in our control.
There are essentially 2 types of Ageing -
Intrinsic Ageing – Depends on your genes. If you’re blessed, don’t be stressed
Extrinsic Ageing – Depends on your environment & lifestyle choices. It’s Controllable but it’s your choice
Here are a few Tips & Tricks to prevent Ageing as much as possible! Let’s just continue to look young and beautiful
-
Start Skincare at an early age
Yes! Even if you are blessed with good skin, find a nice regime and stick to it. You should ideally start using Anti-Ageing products as soon as you turn 25. Once you turn 25, your skin starts producing less collagen (protein) which makes the skin lose its elasticity. Not trying to make you sound old, but bro just give the skin what it wants man!

Smoking speeds up the ageing process. Not only does it give you wrinkles but also leave your skin with a dull complexion.

Awaken the lethargic inner you and do some movement. A simple 30 minute workout a day is all your body needs to stay fit & active. A good balance diet plus exercise boosts your collagen and detoxifies the skin.

While shampooing, always tilt your head behind. Don’t let the soap bubbles drip on your face as the chemicals in the shampoo can accelerate Ageing!
