We use tons of anti-aging, plumping and hydrating skin-care products on our faces to help prevent skin from showing signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles and sun spots. But it’s equally as important to give your body the same kind of TLC, especially when you’re focused on getting firmer, more youthful-looking skin. To get started, we’ve created a simple, step-by-step guide to an anti-aging body routine for more youthful-looking skin.
STEP 1: Hydrate Your Body
The same way you wouldn’t skip your nightly face moisturizer, you shouldn’t skimp on your body lotion. Every night, grab your moisturizer of choice and pat it on all over. Pay special attention to areas that are unusually dry or thin-skinned like your knees and elbows. We love the La Roche-Posay Lipikar Balm AP+ Intense Repair Body Cream because it’s lightweight and locks in hydration for up to 48 hours.
If you’re looking to take things to the next level, mix your body cream with a few drops of your favorite anti-aging face serum. Try the L’Oréal Revitalift Derm Intensives Night Serum With Pure Retinol, which helps to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
STEP 2: Use Sunscreen Head-to-Toe
The sun is the number-one aggressor when it comes to aging, so if any part of your body will be exposed to the sun — lather up. While we want to stress this during the summer months, the same logic applies in the winter. We recommend the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen SPF 60 for full-body coverage. It’s non-greasy and absorbs quickly, so it’s an easy addition to your anti-aging body routine.
STEP 3: Don’t Forget About Your Hands
