If you’re in your late 30s, 40s or early 50s and feel like you look older than your age—fine lines, dull skin, sagging cheeks, or sunspots—you’re not alone. Premature aging is often the result of lifestyle habits, poor diet, stress, and inadequate skincare. The good news? You can restore youthfulness naturally with remedies tailored by skin type, supported by a powerful anti-aging diet and simple face exercises.
