00:00I'm 35 and here is an anti-aging secret for younger looking skin. My whole life I've been super sensitive to the sun
00:06I can't really go out in the sun without sunglasses and a hat just because I start
00:10Sneezing and I can't really like function in the sunlight
00:14So my whole life i've stayed out of direct sun because not only could I not handle it
00:19I'd always suspected that the direct sunlight hitting your skin ages the skin lo and behold
00:24It does not just because of the uva and the uvb to a certain extent and the visible light
00:29But also to a significant extent the infrared radiation and the heat associated with the sun hitting your skin
00:36Definitely increases matrix metalloproteinases
00:38Oxidative damage free radical damage in the skin
00:41I'm 35 and many people ask me if I don't smile or laugh to prevent fine lines and wrinkles and it's not true
00:47I do laugh and I do smile. This is how I laugh without using botox and for preventing fine lines and wrinkles
00:59Here's a quick overview of all the foods that I eat every single day for the purposes of anti-aging
01:04Broccoli high in sulforaphane which activates the nrf2 pathway
01:07This induces endogenous antioxidants in the body that helps to protect the hair and the skin against uv
01:13I have avocados. I eat one avocado every single day studies suggest that it improves
01:17Skin elasticity and reverses some signs of photo aging
01:20I have a brazil nut at least one brazil nut actually max one brazil nut every single day for the selenium
01:26Which is a trace mineral that helps to provide antioxidant protection for the skin. I do consume collagen peptides
01:32There are some small studies suggesting that the consumption of collagen helps to improve the collagen in the skin
01:37extra virgin olive oil for not only the antioxidants
01:40but also the mono unsaturated fat mono unsaturated fat has been suggested to improve some signs of photo aging as well as to
01:46Protect against oxidative stress associated with uv tomato paste high in lycopene
01:51Which provides a barrier to oxidation in the skin organic cacao cacao powder as well as cacao chocolate
01:57The polyphenols in chocolate have been shown to improve skin elasticity in the skin berries. I usually do blueberries
02:03But here's some strawberries organic local
02:05these are high in anthocyanins and polyphenols helps to protect against the
02:09Inflammation and the oxidative damage and free radical damage associated with uv and pollutants in the environment
02:14Chia seeds a good source of plant-based omega-3s, which are anti-inflammatory and antioxidants wild sardines
02:20These are high in animal-based omega-3s like dha and epa good for the brain and eye health
02:25But it's also been shown to provide fantastic anti-aging benefits for the skin and there you have it
02:30There are the anti-aging foods that I eat every single day
02:33What are the foods that you eat for the purposes of anti-aging or just overall health? Let me know in the comments
02:38Here's my morning anti-aging skincare routine at 35
02:42I currently look crazy right now, but I wanted to get my forehead in this i'm using an antioxidant serum
02:48I'm using the coenzyme q10 serum by timeless just three drops. I like to pat it onto my skin
02:54I had a weird dream last night last night
02:57I dreamt that I was going to adopt a cat and I went to
03:01The adoption place and the cat it was like a black cat because that's what I want
03:04It's like a black cat and the black cat that I saw
03:08Jumped out of the cage and then jumped into my like chest and started hugging me and I started hugging it and it was like
03:15A beautiful moment i'm using the haru haru wonder black rice sunscreen
03:20This is a korean sunscreen with juvenile a plus even all t150
03:25Tendisorb, it also has some nice cinnamide in here. This is like a mattifying chemical sunscreen
03:30I think it has mexeril mexeril sx in here as well or sl
03:35That helps to protect against like the ultra long form rays of uva
03:40This is a mattifying sunscreen and it leaves no white cast i've even seen reviews of people who have
03:45Deeper darker skin tones who are able to tolerate this and have like no noticeable
03:50but I think the dream is going to become a reality hopefully because we are it's like getting into summer and we really want to
03:56Adopt a cat and a dog. I kind of want two cats. I think that that would be
04:01I think that'd be good for the cats because i've heard like dogs like the your the friend of the dog is the
04:06The parent like the human whereas cats they tend to be like a little bit more independent and they would like
04:11To have a buddy that they can play around with don't forget the neck and the ears
04:18And there you go a simple anti-aging morning skincare routine notice how the sunscreen isn't super shiny
04:24It does go on matte now. It does have niacinamide in here
04:27So if you can't tolerate niacinamide probably not the best sunscreen for you. I
04:32Personally can't tolerate it that well. It causes my skin to
04:35Become red it does the opposite of what it's supposed to do, but I want to use this up
04:39I don't want to throw it away thinking about just using it for my neck from here on out
04:43Yeah, that's all you need just two ingredients a serum and a sunscreen in the morning
04:47One thing about getting outside is that yeah, you definitely want to protect your skin from the sun
04:52but when it comes to anti-aging getting outside can be very beneficial for just
04:56Uplifting your mood and helping you feel more connected to the natural world, which is great for
05:01stress reduction and emotional health and
05:04regulation which plays a role in healthy
05:07Aging including skin aging because any stress and emotional stress is going to show up on the skin
05:12So get outside be safe. Obviously i'm wearing sun protection
05:17three times like four times over sunglasses sunscreen hat and upf 50 hoodie with hand protection and
05:26Neck protection, but i'm still getting outside and enjoying the weather
