Apart from being a necessary part of life, aging is something to celebrate. While it can be strange to see our skin change as visible signs of aging appear, those signs are the wonderful byproduct of a life lived to the fullest.

Visible signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles are a common skin concern, and you may wonder how to get younger-looking skin. Luckily, there are ways to maintain the skin’s radiance well into our golden years.

Aging skin explained

Skin aging effects each layer (1. Epidermal layers, 2. Dermal layers, 3. Subdermal layers) of the skin in a different way.

Our skin begins to change at around age 25 due to several factors which can be divided into two main categories:

Internal factors: Internal factors both natural and inevitable. These factors are caused by chronological aging and genetics and involve things like:

  • Reduced Collagen and Elastin production
  • Reduced Hyaluronic Acid production
  • Thinner, drier skin
  • Fine lines and gradual loss of firmness

External factors: These factors are caused by our environment and include things like:

  • UV radiation from sunexposure
  • Smoking
  • Pollution
  • Lack of sleep
  • Diet and exercise
While internal factors are inevitable, external factors can be controlled within a holistic approach to prevention.

How to get younger-looking skin: Skincare

With advancements in dermatological science, skincare is getting increasingly better at making our skin look younger. A breakthrough in this field has been the discovery of epigenetics and how it impacts aging skin.

Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work.

After 15 years of research on epigenetics, we uncovered how external factors, such as lifestyle and environmental factors, impacted the appearance of the skin. This journey led us to identify Epicelline®, a ground-breaking ingredient, thanks to the skin-specific Age-Clock Technology. This new ingredient provides an added benefit to most common anti-aging formulas by targeting the signs of aging to visibly rejuvenate the look of the skin.

Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Epicelline® Serum

Eucerin’s breakthrough innovation, the Hyaluron-Filler Epicelline® Serum, harnesses the power of Epicelline® to visibly target signs of aging and make skin look younger than its age. Dermatologically tested and suitable for all skin types, this serum helps reduce the look of wrinkles and provide firmer-looking, younger-looking skin with visible results in just 4 weeks, with up to 78% reduction in the look of wrinkles with regular use*.

How to look younger: Lifestyle tips

There are several simple lifestyle and skincare changes that can be made to help maintain your skin’s youthful appearance.

1. Use sun protection

Prolonged sun exposure can cause premature aging known as photoaging. The sun’s UV rays cause damage to the skin that can result in loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and dark spots.

Wearing sunscreen daily as part of sun protection measures is an effective way to help protect against photoaging.

Eucerin’s Sun Protection range helps defend against the sun’s harmful rays. For daily sunscreen for the face, try Eucerin Age Defense SPF 50 Face Sunscreen Lotion. This facial sunscreen has a Hyaluronic Acid-enriched formula that visibly reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles*. Non-greasy, hypoallergenic, and non-comedogenic, this face sunscreen is fragrance free and leaves skin feeling smooth and hydrated, with an invisible finish.

*With continuous use after 1 week.

2. Moisturize your skin

Hyaluronic Acid helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin. As we age, the skin’s own production of Hyaluronic Acid decreases, causing skin to form wrinkles and look older.

Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Firming Day Care is a day cream formulated with HYAL COMPLEX that helps to counteract this process. This day cream helps to moisturize and re-plump the look of fine lines and wrinkles and replenishes the skin’s moisture barrier for a revitalized look to the skin.

For the eye area specifically, use Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Smoothing Eye Care. This moisturizing eye cream helps to re-plump the look of fine lines and wrinkles and revitalize skin while protecting against environmental aggressors.

3. Hydrate from the inside out

Similarly to moisturizing, drinking enough water also helps to hydrate the skin. When skin is dehydrated, it can experience temporary fine lines and wrinkles. Staying well hydrated helps to prevent these temporary wrinkles, and is also good for overall health!

4. Support your skin with your diet

Our diets can also impact the appearance of our skin. Consuming foods rich in antioxidants can help to prevent premature aging.

5. Get enough sleep

Sleep is a major part of how to get younger-looking skin as it is when the body repairs itself. Studies have shown that chronic poor sleep is associated with an increase in skin aging symptoms, so be sure to get enough sleep and get high-quality sleep to help support younger-looking skin. While you’re sleeping, you can also enjoy the benefits of Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Regenerating Night Care. This night cream visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for visibly younger-looking, smooth and radiant skin.

6. Exercise

Along with drinking more water and getting more sleep, exercise may help to support younger-looking skin. Studies have shown that certain types of regular cardiovascular exercise can help support skin health.

7. Don’t smoke

Smoking is another major contributor to signs of premature skin aging. Smoking damages skin, causing it to lose elasticity, which leads to wrinkles. Support skin health and overall health by avoiding or quitting smoking.

8. Look after your neck and decolletage

Looking after your neck and chest area as well as your face is key in how to get younger looking skin. The skin on our neck is thinner than facial skin, so requires care and protection from external factors.

9. Protect your hands

Our hands are exposed to the elements every day and are especially prone to getting dry or developing sun-related dark spots.

10. Care for your feet

Finally, our feet do a great job of bearing our weight every day but due to a lack of oil glands, they can easily dry out. Learn more about caring for dry skin on the feet.
