As we get older our skin begins to tell stories of days past. A certain amount of this is normal. But there are ways to easily age-proof your skin and it doesn’t take much effort on your behalf. What it does take is a commitment to putting simple habits into place that will help your skin stay as spotless, smooth, and soft as possible.

Take a peek into a fun day of horseback riding with my family, where we made sure to take precautionary steps for a day in the sun.

10 Tips For Age-Proofing Your Skin:

1. Wear a hat to protect your face, neck, and possibly shoulders when you know you will be outside at the beach, gardening, reading, or doing other outside activities.
2. Wear a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF daily on your face, neck, and hands. Keep the bottle next to your toothbrush and apply it every morning. Apply generously and reapply at least once during the day, more if you are going into the water.
3. Educate yourself on safe sunscreens by visiting http://www.breakingnews.ewg.org/2011sunscreen. Cut through all the marketing hype and discover which sunscreens are actually doing their job.

4. Stay in the shade as much as possible and minimize sun exposure between 10am-4pm.
5. Use clothing as a key sun protection tool (long sleeved shirts and pants).
6. Before applying make-up, splash cold water on your face. This will help tighten up your pores so that makeup does not sink into them, emphasizing wrinkles.
7. Make sure to hydrate daily and even more so when you know you are going to be in the sun or heat for extended periods of time. Dehydrated skin shows fine lines and wrinkles even more!
8. Don’t forget to moisturize from the neck down as well! Our skin is our largest organ and even though it might not be exposed daily, we should still make sure that we don’t let it dry out!
9. Exfoliate on a regular basis, not just your face but your whole bod, to take off that scaly dry layer of skin.
10. Accept the natural process of aging and claim it gracefully. Note that you are beautiful and your years make you wise.
