My new passport photo looks so much younger than my previous one, I give credit to 2 devices

LOOKING TOO YOUNG may be considered a good problem to have, until it affects your frequent flyer miles.

She may not be flying on clouds when her passport is rejected, but a woman whose clear skin made her look years younger was floating on a pink cloud.

Even if she had 99 problems, for Redditor NotReallySwissfinding a rejuvenating skin care routine wasn’t one of them.

Her secret to the fountain of eternal youth consisted of two devices that would counteract her age.

“A few years ago I started using LED red light home treatments,” she says.

“I also use a Newa device with aloe vera gel,” she said.

She always makes sure to use only 100% pure aloe.

“It’s a radiofrequency device. Both have improved or stopped the loose skin around my jaw and the bags around the corners of my lips,” she said.

It appeared she was fooling Father Time and possibly some TSA agents as well.

“My recent passport photo even looks so much younger than my previous one, I was afraid it would be rejected!” she added.

After trying a few different products, she became an expert on the devices that are “most effective for skin tightening.”

Her main tip is to make sure the red light has a wavelength in the range of 660 to 680 nanometers.

She noted that some wavelengths are also less painful.

And that wasn’t the only insight she shared about the red light therapy devices that offer a noninvasive way to improve skin’s appearance by stimulating cells.

“I also look for FDA-approved devices. There is no such thing as an FDA-approved skin care device. So any product that claims to be FDA-approved is a lie,” the researcher said.

She also shared what other skin-saving measures she takes.

Because she struggles with bone loss, she does facial exercises, but she’s still finding a routine that works best for her.

She also uses a vitamin E serum as part of her daily anti-aging regimen.

To wake up with a radiant, fresh face, she uses the First Aid Beauty Vitamin C Serum, which she applies in the evening under her La Prairie Skin Caviar Cream.

She may not be a fan of the scent, but she was impressed with the rejuvenating effect.

“Man, this really does good for the texture of my skin,” she said.

“I can skip the vitamin C, but if I skip my La Prairie product, my skin looks duller and sadder the next day,” she added.

The verdict on the anti-aging effects of the vitamin-enriched products was still out, but she thought they were worth a try because they are considered building blocks for collagen.

To avoid damage to her skin, she’s learned to do it all: wear sunscreen.

Although she always used SPF “religiously” on her face and neck, as well as a few inches of her décolleté, her dermatologist revealed that she had been neglecting the rest of her body.

“You can’t really see it, you can just feel how different the skin is where the sunscreen was applied: it feels rough and loose,” she said.

She’s a big fan of CVS Health’s SPF 50, a clear zinc lotion.

“It’s super cheap, a little bit shiny, but not chalky – my skin is chalky by the way, so it might be different for you,” she said.

“I would rather go out during the day without clothes than without sunscreen,” she added.

While she said sunscreen helps with skin texture and wrinkles, “if it helps with sagging skin, it’s not as noticeable.”

“The skin sags due to factors such as bone loss and slowing of the production of collagen and elastin fibers in the deeper layers of the skin that act as a supporting structure,” she said.
