Today anti-aging for men is becoming just as important as it is for women. Today’s men want to look their best and will go above and beyond what their fathers did to accomplish this task. Men have found that this helps them feel better about themselves and helps them attract more opportunities in the dating arena as well as at work. If you’re interested in anti-aging for men here are some tips to get you started.



Use Sunscreen Every Day

While it’s important to get your share of vitamin D it’s also important to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Too much sun can cause your skin to age quickly and look wrinkled and leathery over time. Sunscreen will allow your skin to soak up some rays while reducing your chances of premature aging.

Slather On The Moisturizer

Now that anti-aging for men has gained importance men are less afraid of using moisturizer to soften and nourish their skin which is great because moisturizer helps to keep your skin nourished and supple. It’s especially important to use moisturizer when it’s cooler out because environmental factors such as wind can strip your skin of moisture leaving it dry and flakey. Finally, keep  in mind is to use a moisturizer that has been made for your skin type. If you have oily skin and you use a moisturizer for dry skin, your condition will most definitely worsen so be sure to read labels.

Exfoliate

Hold on! Before you run off you should understand why it’s important to exfoliate your skin. Exfoliating gets rid of all of the dead skin cells that are hanging on to your face and encourages the growth of new skin that looks revitalized and clean. You may not realize it, but shaving is one of the best ways to exfoliate your skin so chances are that you’re already doing this without realizing it. You can also use a face exfoliator for an added plus.

Trim Away

At some point in time, most men start growing hair out of their noses and ears. Besides being unattractive, the extra hair tends to make you look older than you really are. The easiest way to deal with this is to get a pair of small trimming scissors and snip away the unwanted hair. Depending on the placement of the hair you can also look into getting electrolysis to remove the hair permanently.

Stay Away From Tanning Salons

Just like the rays from the sun can cause premature aging so can a trip to the tanning salon.  The UV rays used to tan your skin are very harmful and are known to cause your skin to age quickly and look dry.

Get To The Gym

The reason that exercise is a heavy hitter in the anti-aging department is twofold. Exercise reduces stress which is a major reason that people get wrinkles. Exercise also makes you sweat out the toxins that are swimming around in your body so that you have cleaner body. A cleaner body that’s more relaxed is a body that will look and feel younger in the long run.

Eat Right And Drink Plenty of Water

It’s important to eat a lot of lean meats, fish, low-fat dairy  and fresh fruits and vegetables that are packed with vitamins and minerals. You should also drink eight glasses of water every day to make use of the nutritious food that you’re eating. Drinking water nourishes your body, moisturizes it from the inside out and transports all of the vitamins and minerals that you’re consuming to all of your organs. On days when it’s hot or you’ve had a workout you should drink even more water to keep up the hydration.

If you feel like you need more of a push there’s always botox, hair implants and plastic surgery, but this is a great place to start without getting invasive.
