I am giving you some ideas and ways below which can help you in looking younger and fresh.

You look the way you think:
It is very important that you have this feeling in your heart that you are not old yet. If you think that your skin looks old then probably it will look so. Therefore before you start on any practical measures, the most essential thing to do is that you start it with the right mindset. Whenever you look yourself in the mirror don't think that you are looking old but visualize that your skin is not dull but young and vibrant. When we think positively with right mindset then your mind will enhance those organic functions that will rejuvenate your skin. So, always think on a positive note.

Arterial aging is one of the most important factors which effect your skin age and its look and appearance. In order to maintain good artery health you should include calcium, potassium, fish and fruits in your diet. You should eat five to six servings of vegetables in a day. Go for two to three pieces of whole fruit in a day. You should try to eat fish at least thrice in a week. Maintaining your calorie intake eat good fats like flaxseeds, nuts, olive oil but don't make them exceed 25% of your daily calories that you take in a day.

So ten to twenty minutes of sunshine on your body will keep you looking young. But always take precautions as exposure to sun is the most important factor of 'extrinsic' aging. So always make it a point to venture in the sun only after applying sunscreen of SPF 15 or even above to it. Apply it thoroughly on your face, hands not only on sunny days but also on cloudy days and then only allow yourself to go out in sun.
