Anti-Aging Secrets

We’ve all been there: That moment of disappointment when you catch yourself shamelessly staring at your hairdresser, dermatologist, or dentist and thinking, how the heck does she pull it off? What’s the secret to her great hair, pore-free complexion, or flawless teeth?

Well, we decided to go straight to the source and find out how to get that ageless look—naturally. We asked the beauty industry’s most sought-after stylists, aestheticians, and MDs to divulge their tricks for stopping the clock. If there’s no fountain of youth, their unexpectedly simple advice might be the next best thing.

Read on to find out the anti-aging secrets they have shared with us;

Use sesame oil

First thing every morning, massage organic sesame oil from the health-food store all over your body. Working it in wakes you up and really gets your blood circulating. Plus, the oil hydrates skin, giving it a healthy glow. Then jump in the shower—the oil naturally cleans away dead skin cells.

Consider fish oil

Anti-inflammatories are the best anti-agers out there. From improving heart and immune functions to helping hair grow and skin look supple, they truly do wonders. Take three 500 milligram capsules of omega-3 fish oil in the morning and at night. Look for labels that say, ‘molecularly distilled for purity,’ which means pesticide-free.

Down that java

Avoid stained teeth by drinking my coffee quickly. If you sip it over the course of an hour, it keeps coating and recoating. The same goes for other staining liquids, like tea and dark juices.

Don’t eat white sugar…

The number-one ingredient that we should avoid in our diet is processed sugar. The reason: It speeds up the aging process by binding to and eventually weakening the collagen in your skin, which can lead to premature wrinkles and sagging. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits every day!
