Marie’s Top 5 Anti-Aging Skin Tips for Radiant, Youthful Skin

/

From the Desk of Marie Reyes – SkinSpaMED, Dallas & Colleyville

When it comes to aging gracefully, it’s all about consistency, prevention, and choosing the right tools for the job. As a registered nurse and expert injector with years of experience in medical aesthetics, I’ve seen firsthand what works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to preserving a youthful glow.

Whether you’re just starting to think about long-term skin health or you’re already deep into your anti-aging journey, these are the 5 tips I give to every client who walks through the doors of SkinSpaMED in Dallas and Colleyville.

Anti-Aging Skin Tips

1. Never Skip SPF—Ever

If you only follow one anti-aging rule, let it be this one: Wear a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 every single day.  

Sun damage is the #1 cause of premature aging. Even brief, unprotected exposure can lead to fine lines, dark spots, collagen breakdown, and skin cancer. And don’t let cloudy days fool you—UV rays still penetrate through clouds and windows.

Marie’s Pick: Look for a sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, preferably with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. I love our Clear SPF 30.  It’s great for protecting skin from harmful UV rays while maintaining hydration.

2. Invest in Regular Anti-Aging Skin Treatments

Topical products can only go so far. Professional treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, PRP, PRX and Tixel go deeper, stimulating collagen and accelerating cellular turnover to keep skin firm, smooth, and vibrant.

Scheduling regular treatments—whether monthly or seasonally—helps target specific aging concerns like laxity, texture, and tone before they become more difficult to manage.

Pro Tip: Prevention is easier than correction. The sooner you start, the better your long-term results.

3. Don’t Underestimate the Power of Nutrition

Great skin starts from within. A diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and clean protein supports skin structure, reduces inflammation, and protects against environmental stressors.

Anti-aging skin superfoods include:

  • Berries (loaded with antioxidants)

  • Avocados and olive oil (healthy fats)

  • Leafy greens (anti-inflammatory and vitamin-rich)

  • Salmon and nuts (omega-3s for skin hydration and elasticity)

  • Staying hydrated and limiting processed foods and sugar also helps reduce collagen breakdown and keeps your skin looking fresh.

4. Use Red Light Therapy for Skin Rejuvenation

Red light therapy is one of the most underrated tools in anti-aging. This non-invasive treatment uses low-level red wavelengths of light to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and improve skin texture.

At SkinSpaMED, we often incorporate red light therapy into facial treatments—or offer it as a stand-alone therapy—for clients who want a gentle but effective way to enhance skin firmness and radiance.

It’s a great option for all skin types and can be done regularly with no downtime.

Pro Tip: Consider purchasing the LMNT One handheld device that we carry at both locations. This device is perfect to fill gaps in between appointments and maintain your results at home. 

5. Make Smart Lifestyle Choices

You’ve probably heard it before, but it bears repeating: Smoking and tanning beds are two of the fastest ways to age your skin.
Smoking depletes oxygen and nutrients, while tanning beds deliver concentrated UV radiation that destroys collagen and accelerates aging—often decades before it naturally occurs.

Other smart habits include:

  • Managing stress

  • Getting consistent, quality sleep

  • Avoiding excessive alcohol

  • Staying physically active to improve circulation

Your skin is a direct reflection of your overall health—treat your body well, and your skin will follow.
