Forever young. That’s the goal. Of course, except for vampires, we know it’s impossible. Still, we won’t give up! At least not when it comes to our appearance.

We want to look young forever and nothing pleases us more than someone thinking we are five years younger than the number on our birth certificate. But how do you actually achieve that?

For most of us, it all starts with our skin. This is something you can never hide and, like the rings on a tree, it will always to some degree give away our age. But there is hope. By following these three pro skincare tips, you can maintain a more youthful appearance for years to come.

1. Start Eating Right

We are what we eat. This may be something you learned in first grade but that doesn’t make it any less true. And nowhere on our bodies is this more obvious than in our skin. Maybe you can have an awful diet in your 20s and get away with it a little bit. People won’t see it quite as much. But, in time, how we act behave will show through.

This isn’t to shame anyone who struggles to stay fit or stick to an eating plan. Neither of those are the end all, be all of health. But you need to make sure to get the right nutrients into your body — vitamins, minerals, and fats from real food — if you expect your skin to look good. And you also want to limit irritants.

This may be different for different people and it isn’t always junk food. For some, wheat makes them break out while others can’t tolerate dairy. Regardless, it’s important to recognize that your own unique diet and any underlying issues will affect your outer layer.

2. Always Stay Hydrated

By weight, our bodies are more than half water. For men, this number can be nearly two-thirds. So it goes without saying that we need to replenish our fluids consistently and give our systems all the H20 they need to operate properly.

The old adage of eight cups a day usually works pretty well. But we’re all a bit different. Some people feel more energized and look much healthier the more water they drink. Others seem to be more like camels, capable of functioning great on mainly their food alone plus a few sips here and there.

Recognize how your body works, and don’t forget about electrolytes if you’re struggling with dry skin. In addition to simply how much water we consume, our bodies are always in flux when it comes to balancing our sodium, potassium, magnesium, and other levels. Your water issue and constant trips to the bathroom may be more about your body struggling to maintain those levels. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist about how these issues could be affecting your hydration and skin.

3. Find a Skin Care Regimen

You won’t be able to cover up poor health with products, but many try. They might spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to fix a problem that could be solved with spinach and a bit of healthy living.

Still, it is important, and caring for your skin properly can make a big difference. The exact type of care regimen and specific products can differ a lot from person to person. Do you need more moisture? Do you need to reduce red spots? Do you suffer from breakouts without the right soaps?

There are, however, a few things that tend to work for most. The more natural products, for example, usually cause less irritation, and almost everyone experiences the benefits of a vitamin C serum. No matter what works best for you, the key is usually to find a good routine and stick with it.

Looking Forever Young

Almost nobody loves everything about their skin. Maybe it’s wrinkles, maybe it’s freckles, maybe it’s breakouts, maybe you burn too easy. No matter what, we can always find a flaw.

But if you do put in some effort, you can improve the overall look, feel, and health of your skin. It starts by eating properly and getting the right nutrients. Then you need to make sure you stay hydrated and don’t dry out. Finally, find the best products and serums that work for you and keep up with your routine.

Even by following these three tips alone, you will be well on your way to looking better. You might not actually stop aging — but some people may start to wonder if you really are a vampire.
