Growing older is a part of living, and over the years, we’re constantly adjusting to changing conditions. Luckily, we can take advantage of self-care options to help us look and feel our best along this journey. Set a great example for younger generations with these five strategies for successful aging.
1. Engage Your Brain.
Challenge yourself to keep learning with a variety of thoughtprovoking games. This book includes crosswords, sudoku, word searches, mazes and other puzzles. Exercise your mind to benefit your memory and cognitive abilities. Make a brainteaser part of your daily routine and have fun solving them solo or with a friend.

2. Rejuvenating Option.
Enjoy smoother, firmer skin. Microneedling can treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, age spots and sun damage. A non-surgical device called a SkinPen helps stimulate collagen and elastin production to improve your skin’s appearance. Treat areas including your face, neck or hands with minimal downtime from your regular routine.

Choose the activities to meet your specific goals. Exercise with friends, boost energy and mobility, increase athletic abilities and most importantly, have fun.
