How To Improve Your Skin Without Going Under The Knife

As we age, it’s natural for our skin to lose some of its elasticity and begin to wrinkle and sag slightly. While this process cannot be put off indefinitely, there are several things you can do to help firm up and rejuvenate your face without having to resort to surgery. Intrigued? Read on to find out more.

Do A Facial Workout 

If you want to avoid any kind of procedure, then one of the simplest ways to help improve your skin is to try some gentle facial exercises. After all, you use workouts to tighten up other areas of your body, so why not the muscles in your face as well? 

Not only are facial exercises easy to do, but they are convenient too; you can do your face workout at any time of the day, even when you’re at work – though you may receive a few incredulous looks from your co-workers. 

Face Masks For Added Nourishment

Another cheap and easy way to smooth and firm up your face, as well as giving your skin much-needed extra nourishment into the bargain, is to use face masks. You can either purchase them or make your own at home – many face masks contain only a few simple ingredients, so you can easily whip one up in your kitchen which will help improve your skin tone and texture.

Some simple homemade masks include such homely ingredients as oatmeal, banana, honey, avocado, and cucumber. Experiment with different easy-to-make ‘recipes’ and see which one makes your skin feel the softest, smoothest, and most nourished. 

Give Micro-Needling A Go

An increasingly popular, non-invasive method of improving the skin is a process called micro-needling. This procedure uses tiny needles to create miniscule holes in your skin, which then kickstarts your skin’s natural healing process; as a result, your collagen production levels increase and your skin becomes smoother and more toned. 

Micro-needling can be used to tackle a range of common skin issues, such as the scarring left by inflamed acne, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles. To find out all you need to know about this treatment, you can check out this in-depth micro-needling guide from City Skin Clinic.

Rejuvenate Your Face With Retinol

If you are unfamiliar with retinol and its diverse benefits, then it’s time you learned more about this skincare superpower. There are various kinds of retinoids, all of which are derived from Vitamin A, and they can be used to tackle all kinds of skin problems, from acne to enlarged pores and the unwanted effects of early ageing. 

While there is no doubting the effectiveness of retinoids, you do need to be careful when using them, as you need to gradually develop a tolerance to this powerful substance; if you put too much retinoid on your skin too quickly, you can struggle with irritation and heightened sensitivity. 

That being said, so long as you proceed with caution, once retinoids become a part of your skincare regimen you will most likely be thrilled with the benefits, which should include smoother, firmer, more radiant skin. 

Hydrate And Eat Healthy

Last but not least, arguably the simplest way to ensure healthier, happier, glowing skin is to make sure that you drink plenty of fluids on a daily basis, and feed your body with nourishing vitamin-rich foods. Not only will this improve your skin over time, but it will make your whole body look and feel stronger and healthier.
