We are always looking for the fountain of youth, especially as we get older. Once you turn 40 you start seeing slight changes in your skin. In your late 40’s the changes become more noticeable until one day you look into the mirror and have that pivotal moment wondering where time went. I have been on a mission to find solutions, including products that really work to turn back the hand of time. It’s not that complicated to slow down the change and improve what has already happened. Here are 5 easy ways to get younger looking skin.
Let’s Be Real- Nothing happens overnight. Start changing your regimen and be consistent!
Hydrate
Water is extremely important in keeping your skin hydrated. Get in a habit carrying a water bottle and remind yourself to drink it throughout the day, soon you will be drinking without even thinking about it.
Sunscreen
Many don’t think about sunscreen especially in the colder months. The truth is, the sun is very powerful and you should be using a sunscreen on your face even on cloudy or cold days.
Chill Out
There are stressful situations all around us but learning how to de-stress is an art. Find your inner peace and find how to get there. A massage at a spa, a quiet place to read, yoga, or listening to music can help make a stressful day better. Sometimes when traveling with my bestie we find a spot to relax and take in the sights.
Lather at Night
Wash your face at night. It’s very important to wash away the days dirt, makeup, and bacteria on your face. Leaving it on can irritate your skin and clog your pores.
Moisturize and Heal
What we put on our skin is so important! Know your ingredients and what they do and you’ll be able to turn back time without spending $100’s of dollars on products. I want a daily habit that I can trust and that gets the job done! I also need it to be easy enough to include in my everyday beauty routine, my busy life won’t accept less. This is why I turned to,
Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream and Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream
I joined the Olay 28 Day Challenge and replaced my moisturizer and eye cream with Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream and Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream. I started noticing a difference after only one week, my skin felt soft and smooth with a visible glow and I noticed a small change around my eyes. It’s now been 28 days, the Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream reduced fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes. The Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream made my skin feel firmer especially around my cheeks and neck and it looks healthier. I’m confident I’m preventing future signs of aging with products that easily fit into my regimen so I will be sticking with Olay!
**The following photo is up close and personal. I really wanted you to see the difference. When I looked back at my original photo, I was so excited to see such a change!**
I thought I would share one more photo with you. I do not take photos without makeup and if I do I edit them. This photo is not edited and I have zero face makeup on. Although, I still wear makeup most of the time, it’s so awesome to be confident enough to not NEED it if I’m running out quick.

Sunscreen is my BFF and I wish I had used it every day when I was younger but it wasn’t a thing back then. I’ve always had a skincare routine and I love all the Olay products.
candy says
If only I could take back the teenage years and have used tons more sunscreen. Oil of Olay has always made great products to help our skin.
Amber Myers says
I just love Olay! Such great products. I always want younger looking skin. I do try and drink lots of water as well.

I definitely need something like this! I am getting a little bit more wrinkly as I’m getting older and I want to fight it tooth and nail on the way.

Great tips! I have to say water, sunscreen and rest is the absolute best for keeping your skin vibrant and healthy.

This seems like a great product! I have just started really taking are of my skin, after years of not doing anything for it and am still trying to figure out the best regimen and products for me.
Rachel Ferrucci says
Emily I’m right there with you! I never took care of my skin and now I’m paying for it which is one reason I really try to share and only work with the products I stand by!
Jenn @ EngineerMommy says
It’s so important to take a well rounded approach to beauty. I agree that hydration is super important. I also take vitamins and they help too!
valmg @ Mom Knows It All says
You can really see the difference under your eyes in the before and after. I’m over 50 and don’t have many wrinkles but am already old enough to know I’d appreciate looking younger.
Tomi C says
These are some great tips! You’re so right staying hydrated does wonders for skin. Both my mom and my grandmother use(d) Olay products ever since it was called “Oil of Olay”. It will no doubt be the product I go to at the 1st sight of wrinkles.
Amanda says
I have always been a big fan of Olay products for how they make my skin smooth and how their products smell amazing. I agree that hydrating, exercising, and sleep also make such a HUGE difference.
Our Family World says
Olay products have been with my family for generations. I remember watching my grandma use it. Back then Olay came in bottles and was in a more thin, lotion like consistency. I am happy Olay is still available and we are still able to take advantage of its benefits!
Kita Bryant says
When I started really watching the amount of water I was taking in, it made a huge difference. It was for my body as a whole, not just my skin!
Debra Schroeder says
Thanks for all the great tips. I need to drink more water. I hadn’t realized that stress would cause faster aging. I had better book a spa appointment. 🙂
Mellissa says
Great tips! I for sure believe in hydration. I’ve seen tons of before and after pictures of people who just drank more water and the amazing benefit it had on the skin.
Ricci says
I fully believe that staying hydrated is the key to younger looking skin, that and a good moisturizer! I know so many people who “hate” the taste of water and that just baffles me!!
Dina Demarest says
I’ve been using Olay too and the wrinkles are gone!!
Fi Ni Neachtain says
Your skin looks beautiful and healthy. I’m so glad to see Olay here because that’s what I’m using too and I’m loving it! I’m only 27 and am yet to get wrinkles *touch wood* but Olay has helped my skin look brighter, healthier and has gotten rid of those dark circles my two early riser boys created! 🙂
