Aging is inevitable. How you age is partly up to you.
Fine lines are usually the first thing people notice, but the changes that come with age are broader than skin — energy, sleep, how quickly you bounce back. You cannot stop any of it. You can make a real difference to how it goes, and most of what works is free.
Here are six things worth doing, in roughly the order we would do them, with an honest note about which ones we sell something for and which we do not.
1. Move regularly
The single most useful habit on this list, and there is nothing to buy.
Pick something you will actually keep doing — walking, yoga, swimming, dancing, weights — rather than the thing you think you ought to do. Start slow and build. The people who look and feel well into later life are, overwhelmingly, the people who kept moving, not the people with the best cupboard of products.
2. Keep skin hydrated
Comfortable, well-moisturised skin looks better than dry skin. That is about as far as the claim goes, and it is enough.
Nu Skin's wording for the ageLOC® Tru Face® Essence Ultra Uplifting Cream: it "forms a breathable barrier to protect against environmental stressors, instantly enhances radiance and definition, and deeply hydrates to restore a firmer, revitalized complexion over time."
If you want something lighter, the Nutricentials® Thirst Fix Hydrating Gel Cream is the gel-textured option. Choose by how your skin feels rather than by price.
3. Pay attention to what you eat
Nothing sold on this site substitutes for a decent diet, and we would rather say so up front.
The broad advice is unglamorous and well established: more vegetables and whole foods, less added sugar and ultra-processed food, oily fish if you eat it. If your diet is genuinely patchy, a comprehensive multivitamin is a reasonable backstop — Nu Skin describes LifePak Nano as "a comprehensive nutritional anti-aging program formulated with advanced levels of key nutrients and nanotechnology to help nourish and protect cells, tissues, and organs throughout the body." A backstop, though, not a substitute.
4. Wear sunscreen
If you only take one thing from this article, take this one. It is cheap, it is boring, and it is the change with the most behind it.
SPF 30 or higher, on everything uncovered — face, neck, hands — every day, not just on holiday. Sunright SPF 50 for face and body, or Sunright Solar Screen Mineral Face Sunscreen SPF 50 if you prefer a mineral formula under makeup.
5. Sleep, and deal with the stress
Another one with nothing to buy. Most adults need somewhere in the seven-to-nine-hour range, and chronic stress makes everything else on this list harder to keep up.
We are not going to sell you a supplement for this. If sleep is genuinely broken, that is worth a conversation with a doctor rather than a purchase.
6. Add supplements last, not first
Supplements are the part of this list people reach for first and the part that matters least if the other five are not in place.
If you do want to add something, choose by the claim rather than the category:
- LifePak Nano — the broad foundation, quoted above.
- ageLOC® Youth — "a revolutionary supplement built on over a decade of research, formulated to help revitalize your body's natural aging defense mechanisms and promote your youth span." Its printed benefit lines cover brain, bone, joints, eyes, glucose and immune function. There is no skin claim on it.
- Beauty Focus Collagen+ — "a clinically proven collagen supplement formulated with bioactive collagen peptides, lutein, and phytoceramides to support skin radiance, hydration, texture, and overall appearance." This is the one with skin claims attached.
A note on collagen figures. This page previously stated a rate at which collagen production declines each year. We could not source that number, so it has been removed. It is repeated all over the internet and we have never found where it comes from.
If you take prescription medication, are pregnant or nursing, check any supplement with your doctor or pharmacist first.
What we are not going to tell you
How many years any of this takes off, how many weeks until you notice, or what percentage of anything improves. Where Nu Skin publishes a figure we quote it exactly; where it does not, we leave the question open rather than filling it with something that sounds authoritative.
Conclusion
Move, moisturise, eat reasonably, wear sunscreen, sleep, and add supplements once the rest is in place. In that order, and one change at a time so you can tell what is doing anything.
If something you buy from us does not suit you, send it back within 90 days for a full refund, opened and used, with no restocking fee. That 90 days is NuBodyRx's own; Nu Skin's published US refund window is 30 days from the purchase date.
