The Best Anti-Aging Tips From Around The World

No matter your current age, no one wants to age faster than normal, and you’d like to stay looking young the older you get. The younger you look can also effect the way you act and feel. Knowing that you have younger skin may also give you more confidence, and allow you to be more outgoing and personable.

We know that sometimes it is tough to stay “young” and look and feel the way you did 20 years ago but there are secrets, simple secrets that can allow you to feel even better than you were two decades ago. Below we wanted to list out our favorite anti-aging tips from around the world to keep your skin feeling young and beautiful.

China:

Many teas are high in anti-aging antioxidants. White tea and green tea are rich in an antioxidant known as EGCG, which helps battle wrinkles and helps increase cell turnover. The Chinese mix green tea powder into brewed white tea to create a facemask. Apply this to your face to help fight wrinkles and load your skin with plumping antioxidants.

India:

Start the day off like women in India, with a warm cup of ginger tea. Mix some shredded ginger and honey into some hot water. A cup of this tea is loaded with anti-aging benefits. Honey has natural anti-bacterial properties and helps reduce inflammation. Ginger is rich in an antioxidant called gingerol, which helps protect against collagen breakdown.

Mexico:

It’s well known that our hands are one of the first things that give away our age. The skin on our hands loses its elasticity and fullness. In Mexico, women mix together sugar and lemon juice to create a scrub for the hands. The sugar crystals act as an exfoliant to helping slough away dull dead skin. Lemon juice contains alpha hydroxy acid, found in many anti-aging treatments, which also helps peel away the layer of dead skin cells.

Polynesia:

You may have heard of noni juice as a hot, new beauty product that models are raving about. But it’s actually been around for thousands of years, being indigenous to the southeastern part of the globe. Polynesians use the fruit for its moisturizing, anti-aging properties. Studies have shown that it’s effective in softening the appearance of crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkles.

France:

Studies have shown grape seed extract supplements can actually boost the levels of antioxidants in your blood. It has also been known to protect the collagen and elastin in your skin– the proteins that give your skin elasticity and firmness. Grape seed extract supplements are popular in France. You’d have to eat over a pound of grapes to get the same benefit as you do from 50 mg of the supplement!
