Various lotions can be effective for younger-looking skin, but other factors are also worth taking into consideration.

Speaking to GB News, an expert shared how face massages, diet, sleep and water intake all affect your skin.


These things are easy or free to do but can make all the difference in how your skin ages.

This is according to leading aesthetics and skin care expert and co-founder of The Ardour Clinic Dr Paris Acharya.

Regular facial massage​

Dr Acharya said: "Regular massaging over the face and body can significantly reduce puffiness and swelling to enhance your natural contours.

"It’s an easy at-home method that has been shown to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and eye bags too.

"Facial massage is proven to increase skin oxygenation for a healthy glow, detoxify skin for increased brightness and exercise facial muscles to improve tone and contour.

"Regular massaging can also encourage cells to produce more collagen and elastin, which can lead to firmer, smoother skin and decreased lines and wrinkles."

Adopt a healthy sleep schedule​

The expert continued: "Sleep can make or break your skin - if you don’t get enough hours of sleep in a night, it can impact your skin in many ways. For example, sleep helps with skin repair, hydration, elasticity and blood flow.

"Going to bed and waking up at consistent times each day helps regulate these rhythms, promoting better sleep quality. Sleep plays a crucial role in cognitive, mental and physical health."

Stay hydrated​

Dehydration will cause wrinkles to look more prominent, so remember hydration starts from within. The expert highlighted: "You should always aim to drink at least eight glasses of water a day to keep your skin hydrated and nourished.


"You could also consider adding electrolytes in your morning glass which help to balance the water levels in the body."
