Wrinkles, sagging skin and other signs of aging are inevitable as we grow old. However, adding a number to your age does not mean that you just have to let your appearance wither with the changing times.
For those who want to achieve an always youthful glow, here are seven miracle anti-aging secrets for Latinas.
1. Retinoids
According to Web MD, Vitamin A or Retinoid has been a well-known treatment to eradicate skin problems like acne and wrinkles. Not only that, Vitamin A also prevents measles and enhances cell growth. You can get your daily dose of Vitamin A through a well-balanced diet, but people who have digestive disorders usually has lower Vitamin A in their bodies, so Vitamin A supplements is suggested.
Jessica Wu, MD, from the University of Southern California says that retinoid is "the No. 1 most studied and most proven anti-aging ingredient" as it enhances your collagen production, leaving you with a firmer looking skin, per another Web MD article.
2. Vitamin C
Cosmopolitan says that the Latina skin is more prone to hyperpigmentation, which are dark spots on your face that can be prevented through Vitamin C.
As per Web MD, Leslie Baumann, MD, suggests applying Vitamin C serum before using sunblock as an added shield to prevent sun exposure.
3. REM Sleep
Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, per Best Anti-Aging Secrets, is one of the best natural way to keep you looking young while not introducing your skin to too much chemicals. When the body undergoes a full eight-hour sleep, it completes all the five cycles to reguvinate and heal your body and mind.
Jennifer Lopez told Babble that one of her beauty secrets for glowing skin is having eight hours of sleep. "I try to get eight hours a night. I think what works best is sleep, water—and a good cleanser," Lopez shared.
4. SPF with Zinc
Web MD reports that dermatologists encourage people not only to use sunscreen, but use those with zinc contents as it acts like a shield while at the same time not harming sensitive skin.
''Using SPF every day -- even if you're not outdoors -- is the best way to slow skin aging,'' says Dr. Baumann. But Dr. Wu adds that zinc “doesn't irritate sensitive skin and has the broadest-spectrum UVA protection."
5. Antioxidants
To achieve a youthful glow must start from the inside. According to Paula's Choice Skincare, antioxidants give added sun protection while preventing skin damages cause by aging. Effective antioxidants include green tea, retinol, resviratrol, Vitamin E, to name a few.
6. Niacinamide
According to Dr. Wu per Web MD, niacimide "increases skin hydration, prevents water loss, strengthens the skin barrier, and has skin-brightening properties." It can also tone down and fix uneven discoloration or marks in your skin.
7. Omega Fatty Acids
Web MD says omega fatty acids moisturize skin while combatting foreign skin irritants. Huffington Post previously said that Omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish oil, helps the skin's outer layer to create moisture as well as increases the water-holding ability of cells, which results to less wrinkles.
