As I approach the big 4-0, I am always thinking about how I can keep my youthful appearance. Whether it be with nutrition, exercise, creams, tech or whatever is trending, I’ll try it all, within reason, but still would probably try it (lol). So I wanted to share my favorite at-home anti-aging tools that I use pretty much every day!
LED Light Therapy Face Mask
If you invest in one beauty tool, this should be it. I LOVE my Dr. Dennis LED mask, it really makes a visual difference on my skin. In all seriousness, this mask is a game-changer.
LED light therapy devices have been gaining momentum these past few years and now there are many on the market. But this one is the OG and is from a trusted brand. Its benefits include: increased collagen production, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and improved overall skin texture. Red and infrared lights, in particular, are known for their anti-aging benefits. A MUST for when I am starting to get blemishes or if my complexion seems a little dull, plus it only takes 3 minutes! I am a big fan of Dr. Dennis Gross’ and all of his products, I want to try them all. Besides the face mask, I also use his Daily Peel Pads. They really help smooth my skin texture and brighten my face. I just found this limited edition Magenta mask and BONUS it includes: Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Intense Wrinkle Cream, Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Overnight Texture Renewal Peel 8 Pack, Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Triple Correction Eye Serum!!!
Dermaroller aka Micro-Needling
Dermarollers are known for stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture = win-win. The roller works by creating micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, prompting the body’s natural healing response, which leads to the production of fresh, youthful skin cells – heck yea! The mac daddy of micro-needling is BeautyBio and this Glo Pro Set has it all. The one I use is this Skin Gym Roller Infused with Hyaluronic Acid as a bonus (and is $ instead of $$$).
Micro-Current Device
Microcurrent devices and radiofrequency machines work by stimulating facial muscles and promoting collagen and elastin production. These tools can help lift and firm sagging skin, reduce wrinkles, and enhance the overall contour of your face. While they may require a more significant investment, the results can be impressive.
Gua Sha Stone
Traditionally used as an ancient Chinese therapy, the Gua Sha stone is a go-to staple in my daily routine. The massage helps increase blood flow, stimulates collagen, and helps sculpt facial muscles. It also allows the skin to naturally clear blockages that can lead to acne, rosacea, puffiness, dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles. Make sure you apply a face oil to help the stone glide – I use this Kora Organics Glow Face Oil. One of my favorite ways to use it is along my jawline to help with definition (because nobody wants a double chin). Plus, the price point is very affordable! I also use their Ice Roller to de-puff and feels relaxing.
Face Cupping
You probably have heard of regular cupping by now but have you heard of face cupping? I’m a big fan…puffiness be gone! The benefits of face cupping include: increased oxygen rich blood flow (common theme), improved complexion and diminished fine lines and wrinkles. The gentle suction helps separate the skin away from the fascia (connective tissue that often gets tight) and can help relieve muscle tension (hello all my fellow teeth grinders). This is another easy, gentle and affordable way to stay healthy and youthful.
Face Massager/Cleanser
We can’t forget about cleansing and this face cleanser is a favorite. Most people, including myself, don’t cleanse our skin enough. Have you heard of the double cleaning method?
I have the Foreo Luna 2 mini and I love how it gently cleanses with the silicone nubbies and comes in so many cute colors.
Aging is inevitable, but we have the power to slow down its visible effects with the right anti-aging tools. These anti-aging tools can help us keep a youthful and radiant appearance. Consistency is key! With these tools and a dedicated routine, you can have your own personal fountain of youth at home.
