There are simple additions to your everyday routine that can improve skin in as little as 10 days. You probably won't be able to perform a miracle overnight, but you can expect to see noticeably firmer, hydrated, and glowing skin after this short period. One of the first things people see before they really see you is your skin.

Treat your skin and body right. Healthy and desirable skin correlates with a healthy lifestyle. “Omit all refined sugars, grains, gluten, and dairy from your diet. These foods are highly inflammatory and contribute to oxidative damage which prevents cellular regeneration, the production of collagen, and the development of new healthy skin cells. Sugar makes your skin look old, damaged, and wrinkly,” said Heather Hanks, a nutritionist with USA Rx. Taking the initiative to eat more fruits and vegetables improves skin because of the healing nutrients they contain that restore health to your cells and tissues - such as antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. These antioxidants fight harmful effects from the sun, pollution, and stress on the skin.
“You also need healthy fats for a stronger skin barrier, and enough calories to support your skin cells optimally and to prevent fat loss and bone loss in your face. Many people tend to eat less as they get older. Because they are afraid to gain weight. And this can cause the face to age faster. So be careful and stick with good healthy foods,” said Ann Ramark, a nutritionist specializing in skin health and founder of the blog A Younger Skin.
Even staying hydrated and drinking an abundance of water helps to flush the toxins from your skin revealing brighter and healthier skin. As you age, we never leave ourselves time to sleep, but rest is so restorative for the skin. This time to recover from the damages of the day makes the skin less puffy, more hydrated, and less saggy. Maintaining a daily skincare routine and being mindful of your body throughout the day is essential in achieving a healthy glow and keeping your skin in good condition.

Age reversal is possible but it's easier to catch it in its tracks before it gets worse. Simply wearing sunscreen can help prevent further wrinkles or premature creases. During daylight hours, use high content active products such as Vitamin C Serum, Hyaluronic Acid, and sunscreen. In the evenings before total restoration in summer, apply retinol or an alternative with glycolic and a high-quality moisturizer.
Professional facials are also another way to brighten your skin. “Your 'aging' skin is
just a layer of dead skin that is hiding our dewy glow. As we age, our cells don't turn over like they used to so we have to remove them with light chemical exfoliation which you can do at home or go get a professional chemical peel. These at-home or professional peels will remove some fine lines and wrinkles right away and bring about your youthful glow,” said Saunders.
Wendee Saunders, a 52-year-old Skincare Expert who looks 42 according to her friends and family. “ I went on a mission to understand anti-aging when I met my ex-mother-in-law in the '80s who looked decades older than her age and it freaked me out. From that point to now I have studied and used great products, and I am a firm believer of less is more and you can change your skin in 10 days,” said Saunders.
With the right products, self-care, and an ongoing intentional daily routine mixed or professional facials, age is simply an arbitrary number. Saunders created a skincare plan with the hopes that her skin will look and feel as she desires. She invested her time in researching the quality and ingredients of the products and treatments available.
“It feels amazing to love your skin. When you love your skin you no longer have to worry about it, you feel more confident and when you are more confident it shows up in all areas of your life. You can be more expressive instead of self-conscious. Loving your skin will enhance your life all the way around. You Glow Girl!!” said Saunders. No one wants dull and creased skin.
