Final Word
Will Image MD Restoring Youth Serum stop Father Time in his tracks? No… but there is definitely enough evidence to say that by making it part of your daily skincare sesh, may just slow him down a bit. You will improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, have visibly firmer skin and a brighter, more even skin tone.And that’s reason to smile!
And, while you’re at it, you may as well start incorporating other look good/feel good steps into your beauty regime:
- Drink plenty of water each day (at least 8 8oz. glasses). Water helps to plump up those skin cells, and it also helps to purge out impurities.
- Get plenty of rest (at least 7 hours of sleep per night).
- Always, always, always use SPF! Not only can UVA and UVB radiation speed up the effects of aging, but they can cause cancer as well.
- Monitor your caffeine and alcohol intake. Yes, we know, sometimes you really need that extra cup of coffee or glass of wine, but too much caffeine and alcohol will actually sap your cells of hydration, causing the increased appearance of wrinkles and lines.
