Dry skin can lead to premature aging and wrinkles so Dr. Stephenson suggests hydrating with coconut oil and almond oil. “These are my two favorite oils for hydrating, plumping, and protecting skin from dehydration and the elements. Coconut oil is good for a night cream, and almond oil is good for any time, and is less pore-clogging if you tend to get acne. Both will give you a fresh, youthful glow, especially if you use them every day, concentrating on dry patches and areas with fine lines.”

Getting in your cardio first thing is key, says Dr. Stephenson. “While weight training is an amazing way to firm up an aging body, cardio is what helps keep your heart strong and increases circulation to all areas of your body. Boosting your circulation with cardio in the morning, in particular, creates a youthful glow that lasts for hours after, and best of all, it increases energy. That extra energy adds a bounce to your step and puts a smile on your face, so you don’t just look younger. You feel younger, and in a better mood, all day long.”

Dr. Stephenson explains, “Whether you get your omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, krill oil, or algae oil (for you vegetarians), this all-important supplement has been shown to actually slow the aging process. Research out of Ohio State University showed that omega-3s can reduce oxidative stress and inflammation that are so aging to the body, and can actually lengthen the tips of chromosomes, called telomeres, that shorten with aging. Worn-out telomeres cause DNA to degrade and compromise cell health, but longer telomeres are associated with longer lives.”
