If you are beginning to notice the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots and sagging skin, then congratulations, you’ve officially aged. Kidding.  Although these signs are normal part of aging, it still makes some  self-conscious, insecure and somewhat depressed.  Well, you really shouldn’t.  Embrace the beauty, maturity and honesty that show in your faces.  You should be proud of how you look and just smile, lines and all.

However, if you are one of these individuals who really fear the signs of aging, cheer up because there are a few ways that can make you look younger without having to go through surgery or putting layers of makeup every single day.

Stay out of the sun and apply sunscreen.

Sun damage is the number one factor that causes skin aging.  Limit your sun exposure now that you are older.  When you’re out, make sure to wear a wide brim hat and put layers of sunscreen not just to your face but your neck, ears and your whole body.  This step will not just protect you from signs of skin aging but will reduce your risk of skin cancer too.
