With each passing day, there is one thing that you can count on to remain constant: aging. Though this inevitability is something that we as a society constantly stress about, it doesn’t have to be.

Our constant worry about aging is ironically aging us. What if we told you that simply adjusting your current lifestyle and finding the right skincare routine is all you need to nullify your worry?

It’s true! By keeping yourself well from the inside out, you automatically set yourself up for healthy aging. Some easy things you can do to maintain your health from the inside out include:

• Maintain a healthy diet
• Abstain from smoking
• Exercise regularly
• Practice healthy sun habits  
• Drink lots of water
• Practice mindfulness techniques
• Get quality sleep

While maintaining a healthy lifestyle can do wonders for our skin, if you really want a one-two-punch, you’ll also want to incorporate a daily skincare regimen. Anti-aging skincare is all about using healthy and organic plant-based ingredients. Be on the lookout for these effective ingredients if nudging back the clock is on your agenda!

1. Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid is like a tall drink of water for your skin, that’s because it’s a humectant. It’s a water-binding acid, meaning the molecules retain water. Hyaluronic Acid holds 1000 times its weight in water.  This will help plump up your fine lines and hydrate your skin.

2. Niacinamide

Niacinamide is also known as vitamin B3. It helps smooth skin, reduce inflammation, even skin tone, strengthen the skin barrier, hydrate skin while controlling sebum, and soothe rosacea symptoms.  

3. Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are a large part of what makes up our skin. Peptides help reproduce collagen. This keeps the skin firm and healthy.

4. Plant Stem Cells

Plant Stem Cells, when applied to the skin, may help to repair and aid in replacing damaged cells.  These cells could have been damaged by environmental toxicants, sun, or injury. Plant stem cells are also powerful antioxidants and act as a beneficial barrier for your skin.

5. Vitamin C

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a great antioxidant when both used topically and taken internally.  It helps protect your skin against the sun, photodamage, and environmental pollutants. Vitamin C is also necessary to help rebuild collagen and is also great at hydrating the skin.
