THE BEST ANTI-
AGING METHODS 
AT EVERY AGE!
THE BEST ANTI-AGING 
METHODS AT EVERY AGE! 
• We often think that we don’t need to worry about aging during our 
20s and 30s, and that we can leave it till our 40s to buy those anti-
aging creams. However, this is one of the biggest mistakes you can 
make. Aging starts a lot earlier than we normally think it does—it 
starts in our 20s to be exact. 
• Our bodies start losing collagen by the time we are in our mid-
twenties. This is significant because collagen loss is what shows up as 
the first visual signs of aging. It is what affects our faces the most. 
• So, what can we do about it?
WHAT IS AGING 
ANYWAY?
• Aging can mean so many things to different people. For some, it can mean a 
degradation of physical health—bones and muscles getting weaker. For others, 
it can mean the slowing down of cognitive abilities—not being able to pick up 
languages as fast as you were able to, for example. 
• However, a simple Google search will reveal that for most people, aging is 
concerned with the appearance of the skin—and for good reason. As the skin 
in your face is thinner, more signs of aging will appear there. 
• In scientific terms, however, aging relates to changes in DNA. As this 
research article puts it so well—"if DNA is the digital information on a compact 
disc, then aging is due to scratches.” Aging represents changes at a cellular 
level—particularly the health of the mitochondria (controls cell death).
ANTI-AGING IN YOUR 20S: GET YOUR DIET 
IN ORDER
 
• Prevention is better than cure, and this could not be truer for 
anti-aging. “You are what you eat” could also not be truer for 
anti-aging! What you eat shows up as the first visible signs 
of aging on your skin. 
• Up until we are in our 20s, collagen production in the body is 
quite fast and our skin cells renew pretty quickly. Once we 
hit our 20s, collagen production starts to slow down, and 
collagen destruction starts to take over. Skin cells can’t take 
up to a month to renew. 
• Collagen degradation is caused by things called free radicals
—which are a byproduct of everything around us—pollution, 
sunlight, heat, refined foods, etc. Fortunately, there are 
antioxidants present in fruits and vegetables that mop up 
these free radicals before they can ruin your skin. The 
takeaway is—this is when you start ditching the sugar and 
oily junk food and start eating those colorful vegetables!

ANTI-AGING IN YOUR 30S: STOCK UP ON 
T• HYoAu Tsh oSuldP cFon!tinue with the healthy diet you started in your 20s. Did you 
know that different colors in fruits and vegetables represent different 
antioxidants? 30s is the time you go even harder with those colorful salads, 
green juices and green tea!
• Your 30s is where sun damage (or photoaging) becomes more visible. Again, 
there are nutrients in your diet you should pay attention to: Vitamin C, 
Vitamin A, Vitamin E, protein and zinc. All these nutrients are involved in 
collagen production, which you are going to need with all that sun damage!
• This is also the time you want to get your skincare in order—with the most 
important being moisturizers and SPF. SPF is by far the most important step 
in skincare, because it is the first line of defense between your skin and the 
sun. Even when the sun isn’t strong, UV rays can penetrate glass from 
windows and cause skin damage.

ANTI-AGING IN YOUR 40S: YOU’RE GOING 
T• OIn  yNourE 4E0sD, yo uM arOe gRoiEng  tBo nAeeCd KmoUreP th!an a good diet and moisturizers to save 
your skin. At this point, damage that has been done is starting to become 
irreversible. So, you are going to need stronger topical products to give your skin 
an extra boost.
• Firstly, you’re going to need a robust SPF product. You may have been able to get 
away with a weaker SPF in your 30s and 20s, but you can’t take that risk here. 
Look for SPF 30 or higher, and a broad-spectrum UV filter that filters both UVA 
(causes wrinkles) and UVB (causes burning).
• This is also the stage where many people start a retinol. Retinol and retinoids are 
chemical derivatives of Vitamin A and is one of the key ingredients in many anti-
aging products. They work because topical application of retinols help thicken the 
epidermis (top layer of skin) by increasing the speed of cell division (cell 
proliferation).

ANTI-AGING IN YOUR 50S: TAKING EXTRA 
C• AREAround your late 40s and 50s, lots of women will experience menopause which is 
going to amplify signs of aging. During these years, your skin’s thickness in the face 
will reduce by as much as 1% per year, and annual collagen is at an all-time high at 
2% per year. Your face will be the first area to suffer, because it has the highest 
number of estrogen receptors, and menopause causes a dramatic reduction in 
estrogen. 
• So, in your 50s, you need to go out of your way to protect your skin. This means 
your diet and skincare is on point and you mustn’t do anything to tear the skin (e.g. 
picking zits, too much sun exposure, etc.). You can also look into more sophisticated 
options from your dermatologist—chemical peels, dermarolling, etc.
• This is also the age where you will suffer from volume loss in your skin. So, this 
means that your eyes are going to be more sunken in. Unfortunately, there’s not 
many ‘natural’ ways to deal with volume loss, and you’ll have to look at  botox and 
fillers to build up volume.

MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH 
ANTI-AGING METHODS
• Until this year, I was one of those people that never really 
fussed about my age. I didn’t care when guys asked me how I 
old I was, and I continued my annoying habit of picking my 
pimples. I always had a baby face, so I guess I was 
underestimating the aging process.
• However, it all changed just after my 26th birthday in March. It 
finally dawned on me that I will be hitting my 30s soon. It didn’t 
help that I suddenly started noticing lines on my forehead, the 
skin around my eyes were getting darker and hollower, and I 
was starting to see skin folds around my nose! 
MY NEW FIGHT SKIN AGING METHODS: DIET 
AND SKINCARE
• Over the past year, I researched and learned how to improve 
my diet for better skin and hair. I greatly increased my uptake 
of protein, zinc, Vitamin C, and Vitamin A—all needed for 
collagen formation. In food terms, this equates to about 50+g 
of protein a day, lots of nuts, leafy greens, carrots and green 
tea every day.
• Because I had damaged my skin texture so much from all the 
pimple picking, I also invested in dedicated skincare to improve 
this. I bought products containing niacinamide (helps rebuild a 
damaged skin barrier) and hyaluronic acid (needed for 
moisture). 
THE FUTURE OF ANTI-AGING 
• For now, the best we have to fight skin aging methods are those expensive 
skin treatments and anti-aging cosmetics. However, researchers are 
digging deeper into the chemical and cellular pathways that cause aging. 
• If by determining those pathways and controlling their parameters—can 
they slow down aging? This is the million-dollar question that scientists are 
trying to find the answer to. Their solution would be to develop drugs that 
can control the chemical pathways of aging. 
• One such drug that has shown promise in the anti-aging arena is 
Metformin—the drug used to treat Type 2 diabetes patients. In some 
models, Metformin had slowed down aging and lowered the risk of 
neurodegenerative diseases and (possibly even) cancer. It is being 
considered a part of anti-aging therapy, and whether this would yield long-
term results—only time will tell.
CONCLUSION: FOR NOW, KEEP EATING 
THOSE VEGETABLES!
• Anti-aging science is an exciting field 
of health. Scientists seems to be 
getting closer to developing drugs and 
therapies to slow down aging on all 
fronts—your skin, physical and mental 
abilities. 
• However, we are still years—if not 
decades—away from benefiting from 
this research. So, for now, the best we 
can do is to take preventative 
measures. Use that SPF religiously, eat 
plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, 
and opt for regular aerobic exercise. 
• A large plate of tabbouleh I made for 
myself….I swapped in the bulgur 
wheat for white beans for some 
extra protein and zinc. Parsley is 
extremely rich in Vitamin C and 
Vitamin A—and the olive oil helps to 
absorb it into the body. Let’s just say 
it is an all-round skinfood!
