8 Anti-skin Aging Tips for Crossdressers

Skin aging is natural and unavoidable, but there are many things that we can do to slow the process, at least a little.

Two things we cannot do anything about are our age and the fine lines that come with it.

Additionally, as time passes, collagen production in our skin will naturally occur less frequently, causing fine lines and wrinkles to eventually show up in places once filled with youthfulness and vitality.

But fret not! There are some things that we can improve on. We can reduce this effect by adjusting our lifestyle — starting today!

Of course, crossdressers like ourselves wish to have a youthful glow every day,  but we can’t just avoid the sun altogether.

Speaking of the sun, it plays a vital role in our aging process.

We must protect our skin from it. Using sunscreen with a high SPF does just this!

In addition, cleansing the skin gently with mild products and essential oils helps keep the vibrant look of our skin.

Everything in moderation is good, but smoking and too much alcohol consumption bring nothing.

For one, smoking causes several adverse health effects, not to mention debilitating diseases.

Alcohol consumption equals beer belly, and who wants that, right?

Eating a balanced diet and adding physical exercise is not just good for our overall body health and shape, but it can also be great for our skin:

what we eat and drink helps our cells renew themselves quicker.

When we sleep, our body repairs damaged and worn-out cells, which is why it’s absolutely vital to get seven to about nine hours of sleep a night.

The right amount of sleep can help us combat aging and keep us looking young.

But among all of these, the easiest and arguably the best tip is to smile often.

Smiling is guaranteed to help prevent premature aging.

Research shows smiling can strengthen certain facial muscles that help prevent sagging, especially in the lips and cheek areas.

So, keep smiling, and enjoy life as a crossdresser.

1. Protect your skin from the sun

When we go outside and the sun is shining, we may not think about putting sunblock on.

We may be at the beach, sitting by the pool, or just going for a walk and not thinking twice about the sun’s harmful UV rays.

It is crucial to protect our skin from these harmful rays.

Some effects of UV rays are premature aging of our skin, skin cancer, and sunburn.

So, how do we keep our skin safe? We should wear sunscreen whenever we go outside if we want to keep our skin healthy!

Apply it generously, and do not stay out longer than one normally would.

If one has a history of skin deficiency, it’s best to wear a long-sleeved shirt and pants in addition to sunscreen to protect from the harmful rays of the sun.

Choose a higher SPF for better protection from the damaging rays.

Look for a sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher, as this will give you the most effective protection.

Store sunscreen in a cool, dark place, and make sure you always use it to avoid burning.

It’s also necessary to bring along a bottle of water with you because you could get thirsty from being under the sun.

2. Cleanse skin gently

We are always exploring new options to make ourselves look younger, vibrant, and healthier.

As we age, it can become harder to keep our skin looking young.

However, we don’t necessarily need to look old!

We just need to give our skin the right treatments and care!

Cleansing gently can be one way to do this, but we’ll want to find the right products.

Look for a product that’s non-irritating and contains all-natural ingredients, so you don’t have to worry about all the nasty chemicals.

Make sure to follow the instructions and check in with your doctor regularly to see if you have any allergies.

Cleansing is an extremely important part of our beauty routine as crossdressers.

There are so many different ways to cleanse the skin, but many of the ways can damage the body if done incorrectly.

With that in mind, these are some gentle and natural ways to cleanse our skin.

First, we can cleanse our face of bacteria using a gentle cleanser.

Avoid liquid and bar soap to cleanse the face because it might leave the skin dry and inflamed.

A great option is to look for cleansers that are oil-free and non-comedogenic.

Some like to add essential oils to their cleansers.

Essential oils are great for skin healing as they have antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and anti-bacterial properties.

Another effective way is to use a sugar scrub.

This removes any dirt or impurities on our faces that can make us look older.

We can leave the sugar scrub on for up to fifteen minutes, then wash with warm water and a gentle cleanser. A few times a week is enough.

3. Stop smoking

Tobacco products and cigarettes contain factors that can cause aging on our skin and our body.

Over time, smoking can cause wrinkles, yellow and brown stains, and age spots.

Many are starting to realize that stopping smoking can have anti-aging benefits.

We may have heard of the term ‘hypoxia.’ Hypoxia means having a lack of oxygen in the blood.

Smoking tobacco can cause hypoxia in our bodies due to the chemicals in the smoke.

Hypoxia leads to a lack of oxygen in the bloodstream, which causes a person to become tired.

This lack of oxygen also leads to premature aging.

If we quit smoking, other than slowing aging, it can reduce the chances of developing lung cancer, heart disease, and many other health problems.

If we want to stay young, we might consider the cost of our habit.

Non-smokers do not have to worry about this problem.

By quitting smoking, we can start to feel more energetic, prevent the development of illness, and slow down the aging process!

4. Drink less alcohol

One way of reducing the visible signs of aging is to drink less alcohol.

A study showed that those who were older and drank less had more youthful genes than people who drank heavily.

Alcohol is shown to accelerate the aging process.

The study also showed drinking less alcohol can help people look years younger than they actually are.

By drinking less, it’s possible to live a longer and healthier life.

As humans, it’s natural to want to indulge in some of the finer things in life.

And one of the things that most of us enjoy is alcohol.

While it’s true that drinking plenty of alcohol can help us let loose and have a great time, it can stop us from being healthy.

Excessive alcohol consumption has damaging effects on the liver, heart, and brain and can also affect our body image.

Many may not know this, but drinking alcohol speeds up the process of aging by causing premature cell death in our bodies.

Cell death is a natural part of the aging process, but when alcohol is introduced, it causes the cells to die faster than they normally would.

When we stop drinking, our natural aging process will slow down!

5. Eat healthily

Eating a balanced diet has many health benefits, but it’s also important to eat a balanced diet to look healthy and young.

While keeping a healthy diet is a good thing, we might be surprised to learn that what we eat is what might contribute to our aging.

According to studies conducted, eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits can radically decrease the number of wrinkles we have on our skin.

By eating plenty of vegetables and fruits, we’re improving our skin quality and also keeping our minds sharp because so many of them are packed with essential nutrients.

By eating a lot of fruits and vegetables, we’re getting a lot of antioxidants that fight free radicals and help us to stay healthy.

Eating a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and lean protein ensures our body is getting the nutrients it needs to repair and regenerate itself.

It also ensures that the body has a balanced source of vitamins and minerals, which are essential for skin cell renewal.

6. Exercise regularly

We tend to stay away from exercise because it seems too complicated or too much like hard work.

However, exercise is something that anyone can do if they have enough motivation.

It’s also a great way to reduce stress and anxiety and improve our overall health.

We can start by finding an activity that we enjoy and then gradually build up to doing it more often.

We should exercise regularly for many reasons.

We need to exercise to maintain our body weight, keep fit and healthy, and even ward off premature aging.

It’s also an excellent way to relieve stress and keep our minds sharp.

There are many different ways to stay physically active, whether it’s meditating, playing sports, or going to the gym.

Still, the important thing is to do something we enjoy and that we’ll be able to stick with and enjoy over the long term.

If you do not exercise regularly, you are not only increasing your risk of heart disease but also will start to notice your skin aging faster.

7. Sleep adequately

Let’s get this out of the way first: if we sleep adequate hours, we’re helping our body’s natural regeneration process.

Okay, now for the more interesting stuff! If we’re not getting enough sleep, we have a higher risk of heart disease and obesity.

That’s mostly because our body’s not rejuvenating itself in the ways it needs to; getting enough sleep helps our metabolism, our mood, and our immune system.

Sleeping is vital to our body and its ability to function, as well as helping in reducing eye bags and lines under the eyes!

Here are some tips to help us wake up alert and refreshed.

First, set a sleep schedule and stick to it so our body gets used to getting up and going to bed at the same time every day.

Make one’s bedroom as comfortable as possible to sleep well.

And try not to use one’s phone or computer before bed, because it won’t let us sleep well.

Getting a good night’s sleep is so important to our health.

When our body and mind are well-rested, it becomes more productive, something that we all can benefit from!

8. Smile often

Smiling not only makes us feel good, but it can make us look better, too!

When we smile, we’re relaxing our facial muscles.

If we’re trying to start a conversation with our fellow crossdressers, it can help with our approach just by being friendlier and inviting.

Smiling is also good for our physical health too!

When we smile, we activate our nervous system, which can improve our posture, change how people feel about us, and it can even improve our heart health.

Those who smile often tend to have a better outlook on life and overall feel happier.

Smiling can also help us live longer.

We’re less likely to stress about things or feel sick when we’re happy.

Put on a smile, and our body will reward us by slowing our aging process.

This is a fact that is backed up by science. While some may not believe it, the results are true.

Not only will we look younger but our health will improve as well!

So go out there and smile more often!

Try keeping a smile on our faces for the rest of the day and see how it goes!

We’re keeping our minds and body healthy as crossdressers by following these tips.

It will allow us to reach our goal of looking and feeling top-tier.

Having young skin is a thing of beauty and attraction for your femininity.
