Every person would like to look young and healthy. Even as you age there are things that you can do to help keep your skin healthy and free from damage, spotting and wrinkles. Some of these things involve medical intervention and other things can be done just at home. Here are some things you can try to keep your skin looking nice.

1. Avoid Sun Damage

One of the most important things you can do is start when you are young to avoid skin damage. This is because the sun will cause aging faster than almost any other thing. You can help protect your skin by applying sunscreen around the clock. You should be wearing it in the winter as well as the summer. The winter sun can do just as much damage, especially to your face, as it does in the summer time, so you should wear some kind of sunscreen everyday to make sure that your face is protected. In addition, wearing hats and long sleeved clothing will help to protect your skin.

If you do have sun damage from years of tanning or lack of sunscreen, you will probably notice a good deal of wrinkling, sun spots, and coarse-feeling skin. This can only be prevented through avoiding the sun, so at that point you will need to seek additional treatments with a medical professional.

2. Wash and Moisturize The Neck

One thing that many people fail to do is to care for the neck like you do the face. Many people use special lotions, cleansers and sunscreens on their face, but fail to do it on their neck. It is almost as though they view the neck as not being a part of the face but more like part of the chest and arms. Because of this, the face may look young and vibrant, but the neck looks older and can tell you the persons true age. Thus, care for your neck and your whole body will feel and look younger.

3. Botox and Rejuvenation

If you are worried about wrinkles, you might want to try wrinkle treatments for your skin. Botox is great because it can preemptively treat the wrinkles. Many men and women get the treatment before they even start to have wrinkles. This will protect the face from aging too much and showing lines.
