The Queen Of England, And The Queen Of Aging With Grace
In honor of the great Queen Elizabeth’s birthday this week, let’s talk about how she absolutely mastered the art of aging gracefully.
Aging can be misunderstood as a dreadful topic, but if you take the right steps to take care of your skin you can age confidently with beauty and grace!
Embrace your changing skin!
Anyone can see the elegance and beauty that radiates off of Queen Elizabeth’s fabulous 89 year-old skin. You may wonder how this is possible and if it’s attainable for those not of royal status.
The answer is YES!
Our skincare experts have devised an expert view on skincare routines, products and treatments that could be what has helped Queen E age so gracefully and maintain that glow!
The Royal Rules To Aging Gracefully
1. Wear SPF and Hats
The sun is the number one cause of aging! If you protect yourself now, (it’s never too late) you’ll be happier with your skin in the future. Sunscreen is one of the keys to radiant, youthful-looking skin. Daily use may even lower your long-term risk of skin cancer. By reducing your daily sun exposure, sunscreen allows your skin time to heal and your immune system the chance to repair existing damage.
2. Don’t Smoke or Drink Heavily!
The use of cigarettes, drinking in excess, and other drug usage, has been proven to speed up the aging process. Quit now! Your skin will thank you later. Do NOT look to Prince Harry for royal skincare tips, he clearly did not read the Royal Rules To Aging Gracefully.
3. Hydrate
Drinking plenty of water helps to slow down aging of the skin. We recommend 64oz per day to ensure that the water makes its way to your skin. Our skin is the last organ of our body to get any bit of water because our other organs need it first, so it is necessary to drink a lot of it! Dehydrated skin causes fine lines and wrinkles, so drink up!
4. Follow a Royal Product Routine:
AM – Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin c helps protect our skin against free radicals like smoke, pollution, harmful UV rays and helps to lighten existing hyperpigmention (dark patches of skin) and prevent future hyperpigmentation.
PM – Retinol
Retinol helps speed up the production of healthy cells and their rise to the skin’s surface, shedding off dead skin, allowing younger, more youthful looking skin to be revealed. It also helps stimulate collagen production, which plumps the skin and gives it volume, minimizing fine lines/wrinkles and shrinking pores.
Our favorites are SkinCeutical’s Retinol 0.5 or 1.0. Image Ageless Total Repair Cream is another great alternative which is a blend of glycolic and retinol, or Ageless Total Retinol-a cream.
