I have been receiving compliments about how much younger I look now that I am 43 🙈, and the secrets for it; first of all, there are no secrets, just a few changes here and there that helped me feel and look better.
This post is about How to Look and Feel younger, 5 Small Changes.
1. Having a consistent skincare routine
Skincare is an essential part of my day and one of the most critical lifestyle changes for looking and feeling younger. I have a morning and a night routine where I use different products depending on my needs. You don’t need to buy many products to add to your skincare, but in my opinion, it’s important to follow at least the following steps :
1. Use a cleanser for your skin type and wash your face day and night before bed.
2. ALWAYS !!!! Use SPF or at least a moisturizer with SPF.
3. Always moisturize your skin day and night. There are numerous affordable products with various benefits, so you need to find the one that is more suitable for your skin and specific problem areas.
4. NEVER go to bed with makeup on!! I practice this no matter how tired or late I am after a night out; I ALWAYS remove my makeup.
5. Apply a serum after your moisturizer. Find a serum based on your needs, giving your skin that extra boost.
6. Have at least a self-care day to use your favorite face masks.

2. Adding a workout routine to my day
This is probably the change that has helped me the most, not only because I look better physically but also because it helps me mentally. Working out is integral to my Five Lifestyle Changes to Look and Feel Younger.
I wouldn’t say I like gyms; I’ve never had🤷♀️ , so I have been working out at home for the past two years. I appreciate being in my own space and having the flexibility to work out on my own schedule.
Working out is essential for both health reasons and to support skin and mental health. My skin looks healthier and brighter since I started working out five times a week. When you exercise, your body produces more collagen and new cells.
At the same time, when I feel mentally tired from a long day of work or overthinking 😣, I can feel like leaving all that energy behind after I finish my routine, which is essential if you want to feel better.
You don’t need much. For example, I am subscribed to various workout YouTube channels and have seen excellent results since I started using many free programs over the past few months.
At the same time, I got some equipment to add a bit more strength to my routines. I used weights for a while, but I’ve seen incredible leg results since incorporating resistance bands. I love them!

One last tip: When you work out, your body eliminates all harmful toxins through sweat. That’s why it is crucial not to wear makeup while doing your routine; this can block your pores.
3. Take your Supplements
I’m amazed it took me so long to realize the importance of supplements and incorporate them into my daily routine. 🙄 I have been taking supplements for the past year and can see a difference in my skin. Before taking anything, I recommend checking with your doctor, as something that might work for me may not be suitable for you.
I take four different types of vitamins: one for my skin, hair, and nails, and another for my body.
Skin Vitamins
I take Collagen 30, Anti-Wrinkle, and Hydration Glow. The results are great. I have noticed a significant improvement; my skin looks tighter, brighter, and overall healthier. This product is a game-changer.
Hair, Nails, and Skin Vitamins
I had always struggled with weak and brittle nails, so I incorporated Hair, Nails, and Skin Vitamins into my routine. There is no favorite brand for this, but I alternate between Jamieson and Nature’s Bounty, depending on which one is on sale at my local store. I have noticed an improvement, especially in my nails; they feel stronger and break less frequently.
Body Vitamins
I take turmeric because it offers numerous benefits for the body, particularly its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. I have bad knees from a previous injury, and this product helped reduce the pain. My go-to is the Jamieson vitamins; they are affordable, and I haven’t seen any bad reactions.
Another supplement that I have been taking is the New Nordic Active Liver. I added this supplement to my routine because I had skin problems. There were some white bumps in my jaw for a very long time until a friend mentioned having the same problem, and the reason for this was toxins in the liver.
I researched and found out that when your liver accumulates toxins from alcohol and food, this can affect your skin, metabolism, etc. This product really works! After 2 weeks of use, the bumps in my skin disappeared 😊. I take a tablet every day; I haven’t seen any bad reaction to this pill, but if you want to try it, check first; not everybody reacts the same.

4. Small changes in your food
Another significant change was my diet. I didn’t stop eating the things that I enjoyed. LIFE IS TOO SHORT, but I am more conscious of what I eat and put in my body. This is crucial if you want to notice a difference in your skin and overall body health. I try to eat vegetables and fruits in at least one of my meals every day.
Another essential is water. If you don’t drink enough water, your skin will appear dehydrated and tired, and your risk of developing wrinkles will increase. I drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. Yes, there are lots of bathroom runs 😂 , but your skin will thank you.
5. Enjoy doing what you like
As I mentioned before, life is too short, and I am happier now that I enjoy my life more and do what I love without worrying about what other people might think.
You can have a great self-care routine, but if you are not happy with your life, however you feel, it will be reflected in your physical appearance.
Now that I am in my 40s, people see me and think I am younger because I live the way I have always wanted to and do all the things I couldn’t in the past. Enjoy your life, and have no regrets; you will feel and look better once you leave behind all those barriers.
Okay Beauties, looking and feeling youthful doesn’t have to be complicated; it’s about making small, consistent changes that add up over time. By focusing on daily habits that support your body, mind, and overall well-being, you can naturally boost your energy and radiance at any age. Remember, the key to looking and feeling younger isn’t perfection, but progress. Start with just one or two of these changes today, and you’ll be surprised at the difference they can make.
