AN: I've been away for a while due to being busy with my regular job and finishing up other novels. Plus, translating this fanfiction requires high concentration.

Act 4 : Our Destiny

The colors of the autumn leaves began to unfold gradually, transitioning from yellow to orange, until every tree was dyed vibrant red. The air turned cold, causing you to tighten your jacket. How long has it been since then? Even you were unsure. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, you haven't really been keeping track of time. But what you knew was that it had been longer than you had anticipated. at least almost half a year. Ever since you, Joel, and Ellie set out on this journey together.

Numerous events unfolded along the way, putting all of you in almost life-threatening situations several times. It wasn't just the infected that posed a threat, but also humans who sought to harm and kill for their own survival. like a cannibalistic group that viewed strangers as nothing more than food. Joel suffered injuries from these encounters, and you and Ellie were on the verge of losing hope. But just in time, help arrived unexpectedly. It came in the form of someone familiar, Tommy Miller, who coincidentally crossed paths with you.

Fate can be quite ironic. You thought so when Tommy told you that it wasn't just you who had a history with Joel. Tommy himself had a bitter fallout with Joel that severed their relationship for a decade. When they went their separate ways, he embarked on a solitary journey and happened to find love with Maria, the leader of the Jackson community. He made the firm decision to settle down here. He never thought he would see Joel's face again, let alone yours. As for Tommy, seeing you and Joel together again felt like seeing a ghost in broad daylight, not to mention the presence of the unfamiliar young girl who accompanied you. It felt surreal to him.

"Thinking back,I tried so hard to make you and Joel fall in love again. But it just didn't work out," Tommie reminisced with a hint of laughter in his eyes. Aside from the deepening lines, the increasing wrinkles, and the graying hair, Tommie seemed unchanged, especially with the smile on his face. "Who would have thought that I would eventually succeed? Even if it took a little longer," he continued.

"Before you start overthinking, this has nothing to do with you. It's all about the mission," you replied.

Tommy shrugged and turned to the flickering flame of the cigarette held between his fingers. The white smoke spread widely as he exhaled. He caught a glimpse of you through the haze, his face displaying a serious expression that was different from just a moment ago. "So, tell me, what is this important mission really about?" he asked earnestly.

You responded to his question with silence, just as you did with Joel when he first asked you about this.

Although Tommy was not a stranger to you, you still didn't trust him enough to reveal the truth about Ellie being immune to the infection. It was too risky. If this information leaked prematurely, it could lead to worldwide chaos or, worse, put Ellie in great danger. She would become a valuable commodity that everyone would want to possess, just to control the future of the cure.

Keeping these matters a secret for as long as possible is the safest option for you and Ellie.

Before you were willing to share the entirety of the mission with Joel, it took a considerable amount of time for you to fully trust him enough to entrust him with the remaining tasks. This was in case things took a turn for the worse and you couldn't make it to the final destination. You had to persuade Joel for a long time because he saw your mission as just another fleeting desire that would ultimately end in failure, just like in the past. But nonetheless, Joel reluctantly nodded and accepted your plea. He spent hours during the journey with Ellie, teaching her about firearm usage and other survival skills that she should know to protect herself from potential dangers. It proved to be highly beneficial in the future when you had to face hunters and cannibals.

The events that unfolded were harrowing for everyone, especially for Ellie, as she had taken someone's life for the first time. Of course, she was just a young girl, and death was not something easily accepted or comprehended in her first experience. It deeply affected her psyche, more than she let on. Ellie became withdrawn, quiet, and distant. She displayed no intention of disturbing or engaging in conversation, as she had done before. It was as if the innocence in her had been stripped away, along with the person she had killed.

Joel's hard exterior began to soften, and he constantly comforted Ellie in his own way. He spoke to her as much as he could and stayed with her whenever she needed him. Even Tommy was surprised by this and repeatedly questioned you about whether anything had affected Joel's mental state from the recent battles. But for you, who had spent enough time with them, it was not surprising to notice the positive changes in Joel. You saw his tender side towards Ellie as well as the bond that had formed between them.

Once, pain used to be the thing that bound you and Joel together, and now it had become something that bonded him and Ellie as well, without them even realizing it.

Your silence made Tommy sigh. He did not expect anything more from you, knowing that you wouldn't easily open up. He put the cigarette down on the white porch railing and glanced outside. The afternoon air was pleasant. Women were busy watering plants, while children helped sweep the fallen leaves diligently. As for the men, they were busy handling heavy loads and organizing supplies for future distribution. These ordinary ways of life were once easily visible to everyone over two decades ago, but not now, in a world on the brink of collapse and with humanity facing the risk of extinction.

That made you realize the importance of this mission and understand why people in Fireflies were willing to sacrifice their own lives. They were willing to do anything they could to achieve simple happiness, just like what you see now, which has become something that everyone can truly experience.

Not long after, you saw Joel and Ellie walking towards you. Joel's physical condition had improved significantly, but he still limped slightly as he walked. Ellie walked beside him, moving slowly, and wore an exasperated expression directed at Joel while muttering something. But when she saw you, she raised her hand and waved with a wide smile, looking so vibrant that she almost resembled the old Ellie. You smiled and waved back, while Tommy, who was standing next to you, kept his eyes on you the whole time.

"I don't know what you two are up to—a family role-play?" Tommy spoke without looking directly at you, but you could clearly sense his feelings through his voice and the glances he threw at Joel. "But I haven't seen Joel this happy since then."

You knew exactly what Tommy meant.

since the day Sarah left forever.

Joel had changed since that day, changed enough to make his younger brother despise him to the point of insupportable, and they had to separate and go their separate ways. But in the end, they found each other again and realized how much they truly loved each other. That's Tom's story, which is not much different from yours, after all.

There was a faint smile on Tom's face before it quickly disappeared when he turned back to give you another glance. His large hand reached out and grabbed your arm tightly. His face looked genuinely serious.

"I just want him to be happy. I hope you won't ruin it."

This is something you want even more than Tom does—to make Joel happy again.

But you can't promise that you won't ruin it someday.

You can only hope to prolong this happiness for as long as possible.

________________________________

"Can't sleep, huh?"

Upon hearing Joel's voice, you decided to forget about sleep after struggling to keep your eyes closed for a while. It had been dark in the room for a while, but there was still a faint glow from the bright moonlight outside the window. A gentle breeze swayed the curtains. You turned sideways towards Joel, who was lying next to you, and saw his eyes gazing at you.

"Did I wake you up?"

"No, I couldn't sleep either," he sighed before raising his arm slightly to let you snuggle closer to him. "I was talking to Tom earlier this evening."

You furrowed your brow, unable to help but think about Tom's face and the previous conversation between you and him. "What were you talking about?"

"Tom wants me to take a break from everything I'm doing." Joel lowered his voice, unsure if he should say it, but eventually he spoke up. "He said my body isn't ready for long journeys yet., He's happy to take Ellie and you to our destination."

Your heart throbs with conflicting emotions, one of which is that you don't want to be separated from him even for a moment. You've spent so much time together that you can't imagine a journey without him. And two, you think this could be a good option for Joel and for yourself. Because if you had the choice, you wouldn't want to involve him in this matter.

Deep down, you know in your heart that all of this is not just about wanting to help the world. It's also about your own desire that has brought you and him this far.

"And what do you think?" Your voice remains calm, though trembling, awaiting the answer.

"I haven't given him an answer yet," he says, holding you tighter than before. Joel's arms around your body provide both comfort and reassurance. "I'm not denying that I once thought I didn't want to do it anymore."

"I don't want you to do it either," you finally decide to say. "If you don't want to..."

"It's not like that." Joel interrupts you before you can finish your sentence. "I'm just…thinking. What would it be like if we didn't do it? What would it be like if we stopped right here and chose to stay together?"

You fall silent. You wish you could tell him how much you desire it to be exactly like that, even more than he does.

However, both Joel and you are well aware that it's an excessive hope. too much for someone who has been shattered and can never return to being whole again.

"I want you. I want Ellie. I want everything we have. I don't want to lose it."

His face is difficult to read in the darkness, but his trembling voice resonates clearly, causing a pang of pain in your heart. You cup his face, drawing it closer, before pressing a gentle and tender kiss on his dry lips. Your lips then trail gently along his cheeks and forehead, as if your touch could soothe his troubled soul even just a little.

Joel kisses you back before gently resting his forehead against yours. Your gaze meets his in a silent harmony amidst the fearful darkness of the moment.

"I'm afraid I'll ruin it." His voice quivers softer than usual, as if he's wrestling with himself.

You've never seen Joel like this—afraid and vulnerable.

"You won't ruin it," you firmly affirm, conveying the confidence you have in him. "I believe in you."

You wrap your arms around his neck and kiss him slowly, savoring every touch and delicately tasting each sensation. Your eyelids gradually close as Joel lifts himself above your body, his lips pressing fervently along the curve of your neck, reaching your shoulder. while his hands explore beneath your clothes, causing you to shudder with gentle and intentional caresses.

"Are you okay with this?" Joel asks, uncertain and slightly embarrassed, prompting you to reminisce about your first night together, the beginning of your relationship, and all the special moments. It was a magical night for you when you and Joel were younger.

But apart from the passing of time, nothing has changed between you and him.

"I'm okay," and your answer remains the same as it was decades ago.

You remember the warmth of his hands sliding up your hips, just like when you used to dance together in the past. And you remember the gentle touch of his lips that sensually pressed against your bare skin after swiftly removing your clothes. As he runs his tongue along your body, it is still evident that you desire him just as much as he desires you.

His eyes, his breath, his slow movements, the gentle and warm touch, and the way he showers you with love—you want to remember every single detail of it all.

The intense desire and overwhelming joy spread through every nerve cell, causing you to grab onto him, knowing that Joel is the only anchor you have. The calling of each other's names fills the room as you both climax, reaching your final destination together.

Everything comes to an end, leaving only a lingering sense of contentment that reverberates throughout your body. Joel lies back on the bed and pulls you into his arms. You effortlessly snuggle into his arms, resting your head on his broad chest, feeling a complete sense of tranquility.

Fatigue slowly lulls you into drowsiness, but you are confident that you heard Joel say something to you while his lips pressed gentle kisses on your forehead. However, his voice sounded distant and faint, as if it were in a dream, and you have no chance to ask again as you quickly drift into a deep sleep.

________________________________

A few days after that, the thing you feared the most happened.

Ellie disappeared. That's what you heard from Tommy, who had been notified earlier by the scouting unit that a young girl had escaped from the camp along with a horse.

This wasn't the first time Ellie had done something like this. Once, she told you about the time when she was still studying at a military school under FEDRA's curriculum—a place she described as a "miserable hellhole filled with power-hungry maniacs." It was another significant reason that led Ellie to decide to sneak out of school to go on an adventure outside the quarantine zone with Riley. That event ended with both of them being attacked by infected people and Ellie discovering her special immunity

But Jackson's community was not like Ellie's miserable military school. It was filled with peace and tranquility that couldn't be found in any other quarantine camp. And you knew that Ellie wanted to be here. There was no reason for her to choose to run away without telling anyone, or perhaps there was something more that you hadn't paid enough attention to.

Joel was just as puzzled as you about this. He seemed more worried than you. "Damn it, Ellie! What are you thinking?" He muttered loudly after hearing Tommy's words, his voice filled with frustration. But when he turned to face you, you could clearly see the concern in his eyes.

Tommy confirmed with certainty that there were no infected in the surrounding area of the community, so Ellie wouldn't be in danger (you weren't worried because she couldn't be infected). He was confident that Ellie wouldn't have gone far. Moreover, the fact that she didn't cover her tracks while escaping made it easier to trace for someone who was skilled in tracking. The three of you quickly set out on horseback, following the trail. The hoofprints of the horse that had led you to an abandoned house about five kilometers away from Tommy's community

It was still a well-preserved house, a small two-story yellow wooden house that you could imagine belonged to a kind-hearted grandmother who liked to sit on the porch in the evenings. And perhaps some old grandparents and their grandchildren might be living or have become infected inside this house. You quickly dismounted from the horse, keeping your gun close to your pants in case of emergency, and then reached out to touch Joel's arm before he rush into the house

"Give the girls some time to talk, alright, boys?" You said it with a teasing tone, although you knew Joel and Tommy were not in the mood to joke with you. The temperature was over seventy degrees, hot and uncomfortable, making everyone irritable and on edge. "Promise it won't take more than ten minutes, or even faster." You emphasized that when you saw Joel's disapproving gesture.

You made that decision because you knew that Joel and Ellie were similar, except that Joel was more stubborn than Ellie. They had argued and sulked with each other many times, and when both of them were not in a good mood, facing each other now could be worse. It was something you didn't want to happen at all

And another reason was that you believed Ellie trusted you more than anyone else. It was something called a girl's bond, something that men would never understand. You experienced it with Sarah as well. You and your daughter used to have special moments two or three times a week, mostly open conversations, giving advice, and sharing little secrets that only you and Sarah knew. Secrets that you wouldn't tell Joel, and Sarah wouldn't tell her dad. Ellie and you had something similar, and you hoped she would open up to you like Sarah did.

But the situation turned out to be the opposite of what you had thought. Ellie didn't want to open up with you. In fact, she wanted you to be the one to speak to her

"You're going to leave me, aren't you?"

Ellie was hiding in the upstairs bedroom of the house. She was sitting on a small bed covered with a faded pink blanket that might have belonged to a little girl. Her fierce and sorrowful eyes stared at you as you stood by the door. You clenched your jaw and looked at her, confused and puzzled at the same time.

"Why would you think that?"

"I heard Tommy and Joel talking. Are you going to send me away with Tommy, right?"

You took a long, deep breath, feeling a mixture of anxiety and relief at the same time. "Listen, Ellie, Tommy is just concerned, and Joel is still injured. But even if Joel can't go, I'm not planning to leave you with Tommy. We both have to keep moving..."

"There was no 'We' from the beginning!" Ellie cut you off with a mocking tone. "Since you gave me the gun, I knew."

For a moment, you were stunned by her words. sounded like she penetrated deep into your heart, knowing things that you weren't ready to reveal at the moment. "Ellie, I don't understand what you're talking about," you lied. You knew exactly what Ellie meant, but you weren't ready to address it now, no matter how much Ellie wanted you to speak.

You took a step towards her, but Ellie quickly retreated, glaring at you with more anger than before. "Don't pretend to be my mom. You're not my real mom. Not at all," she said bitterly.

If words could hurt, Ellie's words felt like a full-force blow, more painful than any physical punch could ever be.

Ellie was right . She wasn't your daughter, and you treated her like one simply because of your guilt, because you wanted to compensate for the loss of your own daughter.

The shock and pain on your face made Ellie regain her composure. Her posture softened, filled with remorseful feelings as she spoke to you, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

"It's okay," you lied again, not wanting her to feel any worse than she already did. But this sorrow weighed heavily on you, and you couldn't hide it well. You gritted your teeth, trying to speak normally without bursting into tears. "It's true that you're not my daughter, but that doesn't mean that my concern for you isn't real."

The young girl hesitated for a moment, then lowered her gaze to her own feet. You noticed her reddened nose, almost on the verge of crying. Her posture seemed smaller, and a sense of guilt filled her voice as she spoke to you. "I thought you cared about me because I was the cure for this damn fungus."

"I won't deny that it's one of the reasons, but it's not everything," you said. This time, you moved directly in front of Ellie, and she didn't flinch. You knelt down to be at eye level with her, and gently wiped away a tear from her cheek. "I care about you. And we all care about you. Me, Joel, from everything we've been through together. That's not enough to make you believe me?"

There were minutes of silence. Ellie raised her hand to wipe her tears before sitting still, looking as if she was deep in thought. Her shoulders hunched, and she seemed both calmer and sadder at the same time. "You said you cared about me, but you're going to leave me... just like everyone else in my life," she muttered, as if to herself.

"I never intended to leave you, Ellie."

"No, you're lying." Ellie's voice hardened once again. Her sharp green eyes pierced into yours, as if she were trying to see through all the things you had hidden "I can see it in your eyes that you're lying. You'll leave Joel. You'll leave me. You'll leave us."

You averted your gaze from her. It was painful.

"I'm just scared," Ellie reiterated, her voice trembling. "I'm scared."

"We're all scared, Ellie. Believe me, I have to force myself to sleep every night with the fear of what will happen tomorrow." Your breath was caught with confusion and contemplation. It was easy when fear took hold of your heart, but it was difficult to convey it to someone else. "Afraid of what's yet to come. Afraid of what's uncertain. Afraid of the end of us."

She remained silent, not protesting or resisting. It was a good sign of willingness to listen.

"I won't promise you that we'll be together forever because 'forever' isn't real. You know it, and I know it. Someday, it will happen, and I'm afraid just like you. I just... I just want us to spend as much time together as possible, so that we won't regret missed opportunities and things we've never done."

"Like you and Joel," Ellie muttered softly but loud enough for you to hear.

"Something like that," you smiled faintly. "And Sarah too. My daughter with him. We lost our daughter because she was shot dead."

Ellie's eyes widened with shock, and her face immediately contorted with sadness and pity. "You care about me because I remind you of your daughter, don't you?"

"Yes, but it's also true, just like what you said earlier. I'm not your mother, and you're not my daughter."

"I didn't mean it." Ellie's voice trembled softly. "I'm just angry... I didn't mean it."

"We all do foolish things when we're angry." You placed your hand on hers and gently squeezed it, soothingly. "I've done it many times."

"Are you saying I'm foolish?"

That almost sounded like a sentence Joel used to say to you before, just changing the word "stings" to "foolish." You thought about it, and you couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle. Stings and foolishness—two words that perfectly described Joel and Ellie

Ellie didn't laugh with you. She was serious but also cautious. "So, that's why you're leaving Joel, because of Sarah?"

You hesitated. That wasn't the whole reason, but it was the darkest part of it all.

"And the reason you'll leave me and Joel—what is it exactly?" Ellie continued with her questioning—a line of questioning you didn't want to answer. But you knew she wouldn't stop until you gave her an honest answer. Until you unraveled it for her.

"Love, Ellie. That's a part of love. Knowing when to hold on and when to let go," you paused, surprised at yourself for being able to speak the word "love" so easily. "And no matter what happens, I want you to know how much I love you and Joel."

Ellie lunged forward, almost knocking you off balance as you managed to catch the fourteen-year-old in your arms. You laughed and said, "My back is completely broken." and Ellie let out a half-laugh before wrapping her arms tightly around your neck, clinging to you like a drowning person grasping for a lifeline. Her body trembled with suppressed sobs, and you felt the wetness of her tears against your skin.

"Does Joel know about this?" she asked, her voice breaking the silence that had stretched longer than before. It was a long, quiet moment of contemplation About time, love, and death

"He doesn't know yet, but I'll tell him myself," you replied.

A rhythmic knock on the door interrupted the conversation between the two of you, and you saw Joel standing there, hugging his chest against the door frame. You couldn't read his expression, but you could sense that he wasn't in a good mood. It's possible that more than ten minutes have passed.

He wore a stern expression, and with one hand, he tapped his old wristwatch, the one you and Sarah had helped choose as a birthday gift for him on his thirty-second birthday. He had kept it well. "Time's up. We can go now," he said bluntly.

Ellie quickly slipped her feet out the door to escape Joel, fearing she would have to endure a long scolding from him. But Joel paid no attention to the young girl passing by, only focusing his gaze on you with the same expression as before—a face that made it impossible to predict what he was feeling.

You can't help but feel anxious. Maybe he will hear what you say to Ellie. And if he were to ask you, like Ellie did, you probably couldn't answer him honestly. Even though you've been thinking about telling Joel, it's not the right time yet. It's not the appropriate moment for you and him.

But in the end, Joel didn't ask you a single word about what happened in that house. Throughout the journey back to Jackson’s community, he remained quiet and silent. It was a silence as calm as the sea before the arrival of a big wave. A silence that made you feel uneasy.

Even though he didn't speak, you know he must have heard it.

Top 10 Tips for Preventing Premature Aging

Many people are concerned about premature aging as they want to look and feel as young as possible. While aging is a natural process, there are a number of habits and lifestyle decisions that can speed up the process.

We will look at the top 10 strategies to help you avoid aging too soon and analyze how to reverse premature aging. These are easy-to-implement suggestions that will help you live a longer, healthier life.

Tips for Preventing Premature Aging

1. Stay Hydrated

Staying properly hydrated is essential for preserving the elasticity of the skin and general health. To keep your body properly hydrated throughout the day, make sure to drink a lot of water. Limit the amount of liquids that dehydrate you, such as alcohol and caffeinated drinks.

2. Protect Your Skin from the Sun

Premature aging is primarily caused by sun exposure. Even on overcast days, always use sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Additionally, to protect your skin from damaging UV rays, put on protective clothing and sunglasses.

3. Eat a Balanced Diet

Your body's premature ageing process is greatly influenced by your diet. Eat a diet high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that is well-balanced. Consume whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and other nutrients to provide your body the nourishment it needs.

4. Get Adequate Sleep

Rejuvenation of the body and cell repair depends on getting enough sleep. Get 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night to support the best possible mental and physical well-being. Establish a regular sleep schedule to help your body's internal clock function properly for premature wrinkles.

5. Manage Stress

Because chronic stress releases stress hormones that change how the body works, it can speed up the premature aging skin process. To control your stress levels, try stress-reduction methods like yoga, deep breathing, or meditation. Frequent exercise is another powerful stress-reduction strategy.

6. Exercise Regularly

Engaging in physical activity not only helps you maintain physical fitness but also improves your general health and circulation. Aim for 150 minutes or more a week of moderate-intensity exercise, preferably a combination of aerobic, strength, and flexibility training.

7. Limit Sugar and Processed Foods

Consuming a lot of sugar and processed foods can cause oxidative stress and inflammation, which accelerates the premature aging disease. To help your body's natural aging process, choose a diet low in processed foods and sugary snacks.

8. Quit Smoking

Smoking is one of the main causes of visible signs of premature aging, such as wrinkles and sagging skin. Giving up smoking has a major positive impact on the longevity and general health of your skin.

9. Stay Socially Connected

Strong social ties have been linked to improved mental and emotional health. Get supportive friends and family around you to lessen feelings of isolation and loneliness, which can slow down causes of premature aging.

10. Prioritize Skincare

Create a regular skincare routine to maintain the health and youth of your skin. Wash, apply moisturizer, and use products containing antioxidants and retinoid.

Knowing your skin type is the first step towards developing a skincare regimen that works for you. Regardless of your skin type oily, dry, combination, or sensitive, pick products that target your particular issues.

The skin around your eyes is delicate; take care of it. To address issues like puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines around the eyes, use an eye cream or serum that contains peptides or hyaluronic acid.

To develop a customized skincare treatment based on your skin type and concerns, speak with a dermatologist about premature aging disease in adults.

Hershell Hcs

Heya decided to do some more Hcs now for Hershell. I kinda went overboard with this one so sorry about that one. He's just one of my favorites

Orphaned at a very young age, he was far too young to remember his parent's faces or their reasons to leave him behind.

Since he wasn't given a finalized name by anyone, really, or truthfully one one he truly enjoyed going by, he'd decided to name himself

^ First name was because of the meaning; Hershell - deer, his favorite animals and being an enjoyer of nature. And then the last, Panzer, because it was a alias meaning tanks, that as a child he played with a little, old toy tank growing up

^ Embarrassingly enough he misspelled his first name but never felt the strong urge to really change it again and grew to love it in the end

Grew up in an orphanage for most of his life until eventually he grew out of the system at eighteen. Now during that time, he was in and out of foster homes as well.

Has a natural knack for taking care of children as it came easy for him, always having a gentle soft spot for them and being very tentative

Due to this troubled and very rocky upbringing, Hershell wasn't an easy child to handle with the tendency to lash out on any authoritative figure

In order to support himself since he barely got any support he began to work under the table for some extra cash as a young fighter/boxer by underground, illegal fight clubs

^ Soon he became an impressive fighter who was infamously known to play underhanded, dirty tricks in order to win and always be on top

^ This is how he met his best friend, Hj Canterbury where they first met in the ring and he gave the other man a nasty bloody nose. It started to grow from there as he felt guilty and became very careful and protective over his friend

Undiagnosed Adhd throughout his early childhood to adulthood where he couldn't handle staying in one place for too long while fidgeting, struggled to remember things for long periods of time, temper flares and so on

^ He wasn't properly diagnosed and treated with such until a few years after joining the military, in his early to mid twenties

^ Before becoming a parent and quitting/taking his Adhd medication, he used to smoke weed on a daily basis in order to relax. But for him sometimes it didn't always do the trick

Became a single parent on his own when he was 22-23yo after his ex just got up and left him and their son

Throughout the years he had struggled to commit to long term, serious relationships so often he was either alone or did simple short-lived flings on the side

To his shameful embarrassment yet embraced it later on, Hershell prematurely grayed in his late twenties, used to dye it. It was mostly caused by stress and genetics

A highly experienced Earthbender who self taught at a young age, he was around 15yo when he realized his natural power and ability. Has the most experienced to least in; Earth, metal, sand and lava.

^ His son, Johnny however didn't inherit this ability unfortunately for unknown reasons. Maybe it was genetics that passed a generation, bad luck or something else?

Works out daily, almost every day maybe 4-5 days of the full week if possible and is naturally built like an absolute unit; someone you should never mess with

Also can be good at multitasking, a man of many hobbies and talents? In particular, with more hands-on jobs.

12 Natural Ways To Get Youthful, Glowing Skin

Having youthful, glowing skin is a desire shared by many, as it not only enhances one's appearance but also boosts self-confidence. While there are countless skincare products available on the market, some people prefer natural and holistic approaches to achieve radiant skin.

Stay Hydrated:

Hydration is the foundation of healthy skin. Drinking an adequate amount of water helps flush out toxins from the body and keeps the skin hydrated, preventing dryness and promoting a radiant complexion. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to maintain optimal skin health.

Follow a Balanced Diet:

Eating a nutritious diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants is vital for healthy skin. Incorporate plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your meals. Antioxidant-rich foods such as berries, leafy greens, and nuts help combat free radicals that can damage skin cells and cause premature aging.

Protect Your Skin from Sun Exposure:

One of the most crucial steps to achieve youthful skin is protecting it from overexposure to UV rays. Sun exposure can lead to wrinkles, age spots, and other signs of premature aging. Always wear sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when stepping outdoors and seek shade during peak sun hours.

Practice a Consistent Skincare Routine:

A consistent skincare routine can work wonders for your skin's health. Cleansing, toning, and moisturizing should be a part of your daily regimen. Use gentle, natural products suitable for your skin type to avoid irritation and inflammation.

Exfoliate Regularly:

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and stimulate cell turnover, resulting in a brighter and more youthful complexion. Choose a natural, gentle exfoliant like Sokörpe's Mandelic Acid Serum to gently exfoliate your skin daily.

Get Sufficient Sleep:

Adequate sleep is essential for skin rejuvenation and repair. During deep sleep, the body produces collagen, a protein that maintains skin's elasticity and firmness. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to wake up with a refreshed and glowing complexion.

Manage Stress:

Chronic stress can wreak havoc on your skin, leading to breakouts, inflammation, and dullness. Practice stress-reducing activities such as meditation, yoga, deep breathing exercises, or spending time in nature to maintain healthy skin and overall well-being.

Use Natural Face Masks:

Natural face masks can nourish and revitalize your skin. Try using ingredients like honey, yogurt, aloe vera, or turmeric, which have soothing and rejuvenating properties. Apply a mask once a week to improve skin texture and glow.

Exercise Regularly:

Engaging in regular physical activity enhances blood circulation, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells. This increased circulation helps maintain a youthful appearance and imparts a natural, healthy glow to the skin.

Limit Alcohol and Caffeine Intake:

Excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption can dehydrate the skin and contribute to premature aging. Moderation is key when consuming these beverages, and it's best to stay hydrated with water or herbal teas.

Avoid Smoking and Secondhand Smoke:

Smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke can accelerate skin aging, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and a dull complexion. Quitting smoking or avoiding areas with secondhand smoke can significantly improve skin health and appearance.

Embrace Natural Oils:

Certain natural oils, such as coconut oil, jojoba oil, and rosehip seed oil, offer excellent benefits for the skin. These oils can hydrate, protect, and nourish the skin, providing a youthful and radiant appearance. Incorporate them into your skincare routine, especially as moisturizers or as part of facial massages.

Achieving youthful, glowing skin doesn't necessarily require expensive treatments or chemical-laden products. By following a consistent and natural skincare routine, maintaining a healthy diet, and adopting a holistic approach to well-being, you can unlock the secrets to radiant skin. Remember to stay hydrated, protect your skin from the sun, and nourish it with natural ingredients. With these twelve natural methods, you can embrace the journey to healthier, more youthful, and glowing skin.

The Effects of Smoking and What It Does to the Skin

Smoking is notorious for its detrimental impact on overall health, but its specific effects on the skin are often overlooked. The skin, being the largest organ in the body, visibly reflects the internal damage caused by smoking. Here’s an in-depth look at how smoking affects your skin and why quitting could be the best decision for your skin’s health and appearance.

1. Accelerated Aging and Wrinkles

One of the most prominent effects of smoking on the skin is accelerated aging. The toxic chemicals in cigarette smoke damage collagen and elastin, the fibers that maintain the skin's structure and elasticity. Without these vital proteins, the skin loses its firmness and flexibility, leading to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. The repetitive facial motions involved in smoking, such as puckering the lips and squinting the eyes, exacerbate the development of deep lines, especially around the mouth and eyes—commonly referred to as “smoker's lines.”

2. Dehydration and Dullness

Smoking also leads to dehydration, depriving the skin of essential moisture. Nicotine reduces blood flow, narrowing the blood vessels and limiting the oxygen and nutrients delivered to the skin. This deprivation results in a sallow, lifeless complexion. Smokers often exhibit a dull, grayish skin tone, lacking the healthy glow associated with well-nourished skin. The lack of proper blood circulation also means that the skin cannot effectively repair itself, leading to an overall tired and aged appearance.

3. Impaired Wound Healing

The compromised blood flow from smoking has serious implications for wound healing. Smokers experience significantly delayed healing times for cuts, scrapes, and surgical wounds, increasing the risk of infections and complications. The reduced oxygen supply to the skin hampers the body’s ability to generate new tissue, leading to prolonged recovery periods. This can be particularly concerning for individuals undergoing cosmetic or surgical procedures, as it can affect the outcomes and increase the likelihood of scarring.

4. Increased Risk of Skin Conditions

Smoking is linked to a higher risk of developing various skin conditions. Smokers are more prone to psoriasis, an autoimmune disorder that causes red, scaly patches on the skin. Additionally, the risk of skin cancers, including squamous cell carcinoma, is elevated in smokers. The carcinogens in tobacco smoke not only damage the skin directly but also weaken the immune system, reducing the skin's ability to combat malignant cells. Furthermore, smoking can aggravate pre-existing conditions like eczema and acne, making them harder to manage.

5. The Path to Recovery

The good news is that quitting smoking can lead to noticeable improvements in skin health. Within weeks of quitting, blood flow begins to improve, and the skin starts to receive more oxygen and nutrients. Over time, the natural repair processes of the skin can restore some of its former elasticity and vitality. Former smokers often notice a brighter complexion and a reduction in the severity of wrinkles. Embracing a healthy skincare routine and using products rich in antioxidants can further support the skin's recovery and enhance its appearance.

In conclusion, smoking inflicts significant damage on the skin, contributing to premature aging, dehydration, impaired healing, and an increased risk of skin conditions. The visible signs of smoking can serve as a compelling reason to quit and adopt healthier habits. By doing so, you not only improve your overall health but also give your skin the chance to rejuvenate and reflect the vitality of a smoke-free life.

Told myself I should type this one up more proper but too lazy, so more text logs straight from Discord time (aka I copy-pasted this as is). More prototype notes than anything but still. VoloRei and Clingy in the modern era and the shit going on with that. This one is actually….kind of more explicit than usual. Me pondering potential baby #4 for Lucas and then a bit about the threeway dynamic. Also as I’m sure is readily apparent by this point, I’m fueled by nonsense and drama, not sensible relationships. —

VoloRei brainrot taking hold again (as if it ever left). Cause lord knows I don’t need to give Lucas a 4th kid (haven’t even designed his oldest son). But I was like “what if Volo knocks him up again once whatever weird sorta reconciliation thing happens way down the line back in modern day Sinnoh.” First time they actually spend Lucas’ heat together again and even tho Lucas is on birth control this time, doesn’t matter. Still ends up pregnant (I have like a whole side tangent here about what if in omegaverse it’s actually harder to conceive with someone who’s not your mate once you’re matebonded to someone else. Cause that seems like it might be a thing? So perhaps Lucas and Barry had to jump thru some hoops to have Juri and Colm that sabotages Lucas once he’s reunited with his “true mate.”)

Anyway have been thinking about it too much since what stood out to me was the scenario of Volo abruptly leaving the room to go smoke outside after Lucas break the news to him. And while Lucas thinks it’s because he’s upset about him being pregnant again, it’s actually because Volo is thrilled about it. Hand over his mouth to hide his grin. Although recognizes he’s happy about it because he’s a bad person. Since he’s happy about how this means he once again has even more of a claim on Lucas. Sure, Lucas is married to Barry, but who’s the one who put another baby in his belly. Can keep his little beta husband around for his emotional needs but even Lucas’ body knows who it really belongs to. Volo knows he’s a monster but tries to downplay that part of himself to Lucas, thus why he leaves vs revealing all of that. Trying not to scare him away.

But some of that probably does still come out when Lucas follows him outside afterward after he’s deemed he’s given him enough time to “cool down”. Volo on his knees with his head against Lucas’ belly, confessing why he’s actually happy about this turn of events even though he shouldn’t be.

And that’s why I think they need another baby! Even tho lord knows I don’t need to try and design another.

(Skipped a bit of stuff and was asked about if Barry knows about Volo and Lucas being together)

He knows (or he knows Volo and Lucas are fucking) since the situation is something something Lucas is pretty fucked up after the whole Hisui thing and it festers with time. He tries to move on and be “Lucas” again but he’s depressed and jaded about things. So he and Volo kind of dance around things with vague meetings here and there but for a while, Lucas makes himself avoid Volo (I’m still torn on if he ever cheats, even just a kiss, since would devastate him and would come back to Barry in tears. Fucks him up even more in the long run since hates himself for how much he wants Volo and that he can’t just move on and be happy with Barry). But anyway, maybe something happens with Creo health wise that they need Volo for or Lucas hits a breaking point, but either way, Volo gets more prematurely involved with the family. The fuck up who sleeps on their couch sometimes. And Barry does give Lucas the go ahead to sleep with Volo even tho he kinda hates it. But can also tell how much Lucas is fucked up about the whole thing so he’s trying to do what he can to help him. And it’s quite obvious Lucas is still super hung up on this guy, even years later. So maybe this will help??

Although Barry and Volo Do Not Like Each Other. Snipe at each other and compete, even if Volo is typically getting the last word since Barry is bad at word games. Telling Volo Lucas only likes him for the sex, to which Volo is like “so you admit you can’t satisfy your own husband in bed.” Volo is kind of long gaming it in his head? He’s gonna take what he can get with Lucas, and knows trying to push Barry away/convince Lucas to leave him will backfire. Although does like to throw out at Barry how he can always leave if it’s too much. He did such a good job raising his son for him, he doesn’t mind raising his own two kids with Lucas in his stead (Barry gets so mad but tries to avoid ranting at Lucas too much about it. Will sometimes still be like “guess what that guy said this time…>:/“ while Lucas is cuddling with him).

But Lucas knows Volo is a bit of a monster so doesn’t really deter him from wanting Volo around. But to circle back to does Barry know, he tries to know as much as he can about what Volo and Lucas get up to, since wants to ultimately protect Lucas as much as he can. And that includes from Volo if he ever takes things too far. Lucas’ guard dog. Although he would likely miss anything nefarious Volo tried. Like it’s to the point where they probably have weird threesomes with Lucas as the focus since I need Barry to have a complex about it where he’s like “fuck, Lucas does like sex more with this guy than with me” cause can’t quite get himself to be as rough and demeaning with Lucas as Volo can get. Like even for the heat that leads to baby’s conception, Barry is still around since knows how to take care of Lucas during his heat. Bring them water or some shit and even if Volo is growly about it when he enters the room, is still like “you can use his mouth if you want” cause they both know Lucas gets off on that shit.

So yes he very much knows and also knows there’s pretty much no chance that baby is his cause Volo was pretty territorial about not letting him near that hole during Lucas’ entire heat.

RIP Barry I guess. Made him simp for his man so much he’s allowing himself to be willingly cucked. Although obviously could lighten things up a bit since ultimately as much as Barry and Volo may not like each other, they’re united in their goal of wanted to make Lucas happy. Even Volo doesn’t want Lucas depressed, so it’s possible those two could come to an understanding (legit the only reason they’ll come to an understanding is cause I gotta salvage things for the fankids. If not for them this shit would get messier).

Not Me: this is so good though I know barry’s losing his mind and just spending his time with the kids trying not to think about the hotter version of him keeping him from his husband..

Me: REAL 😭

He’s consoling himself that he’s the better husband in all other ways. So what if that guy has a bigger dick and apparently Lucas likes how rough he gets

(From a way later conversation but relevant. Other person brought up how Barry needs to find himself a nice alpha who likes betas and doesn’t mind that he’s already married to an omega)

#To me this is still tame but I know for some this is going to be a “what the fuck” kinda post so keep that in mind before you click!#to me there’s no obvious trigger warnings needed tho other than Volo being Volo #VoloRei #ChosenMerchantShipping #ClingyShipping #Volo #Lucas #Barry

How to Remove Wrinkles Under Your Eyes: Skincare Secrets for Lasting Results

Wrinkles under the eyes are one of the earliest signs of aging, but they don’t have to be permanent. The skin around your eyes is delicate and prone to developing fine lines, making it essential to care for this area with special attention. In this guide, we’ll uncover the secrets on how to remove wrinkles under your eyes and achieve lasting results.

Understanding Under-Eye Wrinkles

Before diving into solutions, it’s important to understand why wrinkles form under your eyes. The skin around your eyes is thinner and lacks the oil glands that help maintain moisture, making it more susceptible to dryness and the appearance of wrinkles. Factors like sun exposure, facial expressions, and a decrease in collagen production also contribute to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.

1. Hydrate with an Eye Cream

One of the simplest ways to reduce under-eye wrinkles is to keep the skin hydrated. Eye creams formulated with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, peptides, and glycerin help plump up the skin and minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

Pro Tip: Choose an eye cream with antioxidants like vitamin C and E to protect the skin from further damage caused by free radicals.

2. Embrace Retinol

Retinol is a powerhouse ingredient when it comes to anti-aging skincare. It works by boosting collagen production, improving skin texture, and reducing the depth of wrinkles. Applying a retinol-based eye cream or serum at night can significantly smooth out fine lines over time.

How to Use: Start with a lower concentration of retinol and gradually increase its usage to avoid irritation. Always follow up with sunscreen during the day, as retinol makes the skin more sensitive to UV rays.

3. Incorporate a Healthy Lifestyle

What you eat and how you live plays a huge role in the health of your skin. A diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and vitamins supports skin repair and regeneration. Additionally, drinking plenty of water keeps the skin hydrated from the inside out.

Key Lifestyle Tips:

Eat foods high in omega-3 fatty acids like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds.

Consume fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, berries, and leafy greens.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, as both can accelerate skin aging.

4. Use Sunscreen Daily

Sun damage is one of the primary causes of wrinkles, especially under the eyes. UV rays break down collagen and elastin, leading to premature aging. Protecting your skin with sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days, is crucial in preventing further wrinkle formation.

Best Practice: Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and apply it around the eyes using gentle, tapping motions to avoid tugging on the delicate skin.

5. Try Under-Eye Masks

Eye masks are an excellent way to provide targeted hydration and nourishment. Look for under-eye masks infused with collagen, peptides, and soothing ingredients like aloe vera or cucumber. These masks can help reduce puffiness, brighten dark circles, and temporarily smooth out wrinkles.

Bonus Tip: Keep your eye masks in the fridge for a cooling effect that helps reduce inflammation and refresh tired-looking eyes.

6. Professional Treatments

For more stubborn under-eye wrinkles, professional treatments can offer longer-lasting results. Here are some popular options:

Laser Resurfacing: This treatment uses laser technology to remove the outer layers of skin and stimulate collagen production. It’s effective in reducing fine lines and improving skin texture.

Botox: Botox injections temporarily relax the muscles around the eyes, smoothing out wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions like squinting.

Dermal Fillers: Injectable fillers can plump up the skin under the eyes, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and hollow areas.

Microneedling: This treatment involves creating tiny punctures in the skin, which boosts collagen production and improves the skin’s firmness.

7. Adopt Gentle Skin Care Habits

The way you treat your skin can make a big difference in how quickly wrinkles develop. Avoid harsh rubbing or tugging around the eyes, especially when removing makeup. Use a gentle makeup remover and soft cotton pads to prevent unnecessary strain on the delicate skin.

8. Get Enough Sleep

Lack of sleep can cause the skin to look dull and tired, exacerbating the appearance of under-eye wrinkles. A consistent sleep schedule allows your body to repair and regenerate skin cells, keeping your complexion fresh and youthful.

Tip for Better Sleep: Elevate your head slightly while sleeping to prevent fluid from pooling under your eyes, which can reduce puffiness and dark circles.

Conclusion

Understanding how to remove wrinkles under your eyes involves a combination of proper skincare, healthy lifestyle choices, and professional treatments. By consistently using the right products, protecting your skin from the sun, and giving it the care it needs, you can achieve smoother, more youthful-looking eyes that defy the signs of aging.

For lasting results, remember that patience and consistency are key. Start incorporating these skincare secrets today, and you’ll soon notice a visible improvement in your under-eye wrinkles.

This blog includes clear and actionable advice for readers seeking effective ways to address under-eye wrinkles. It aligns with your preference for a simplified style and short paragraphs. Let me know if you'd like any adjustments!

Easy Tips For Preventing Forehead Wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles, also known as "worry lines" or "expression lines," are a natural part of aging. As we grow older, our skin loses its elasticity and becomes more prone to fine lines and wrinkles. However, there are various preventive measures that can be incorporated into your daily routine to slow down the formation of forehead wrinkles and maintain a smoother, youthful appearance. In this article, we will discuss some easy and practical tips to help prevent forehead wrinkles and keep your skin looking radiant and healthy.

Stay Hydrated

Proper hydration is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day keeps your skin hydrated, plump, and less prone to fine lines. Dehydrated skin is more likely to show signs of aging, including forehead wrinkles. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water daily and incorporate hydrating foods like fruits and vegetables into your diet.

Sun Protection

One of the leading causes of premature aging and wrinkles is sun exposure. Protecting your skin from overexposure to UV rays is crucial in preventing forehead wrinkles. Always wear mineral-based sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, even on cloudy days. Additionally, consider wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to shield your forehead and face from direct sunlight.

Use Moisturizers and Serums

Regularly applying moisturizers and serums can keep your skin nourished and improve its elasticity. Look for products containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, granactive retinoid, vitamin C, and antioxidants, as they can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Apply these products in the morning and evening as part of your skincare routine.

Adopt a Gentle Cleansing Routine

Harsh cleansers can strip your skin of its natural oils and disrupt its moisture barrier. Choose a mild and gentle cleanser that suits your skin type, and avoid excessive scrubbing, especially around the forehead area. A gentle cleansing routine helps maintain skin integrity and reduces the likelihood of developing forehead wrinkles.

Facial Exercises

Engaging in regular facial exercises can help strengthen the muscles in your forehead and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. One effective exercise involves placing your index and middle fingers above your eyebrows and pulling down gently while trying to raise your eyebrows. Hold for a few seconds and repeat several times. These exercises can help improve blood circulation and maintain muscle tone.

Get Sufficient Sleep

A lack of sleep can lead to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, accelerating the formation of wrinkles. Strive for 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night to give your skin ample time to repair and rejuvenate.

Avoid Smoking and Limit Alcohol Intake

Smoking damages collagen and elastin, leading to premature aging and wrinkles. Similarly, excessive alcohol consumption can dehydrate the skin and rob it of essential nutrients. Quit smoking if you are a smoker and limit alcohol intake to preserve your skin's health and youthful appearance.

Use Silk or Satin Pillowcases

Cotton pillowcases can cause friction and lead to sleep lines and wrinkles on your forehead. Switching to silk or satin pillowcases reduces friction and helps prevent the formation of these lines while also being gentler on your skin.

Practice Stress Management

Chronic stress can accelerate the aging process, including the formation of forehead wrinkles. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as meditation, yoga, deep breathing, or engaging in hobbies to promote overall well-being and healthy skin.

Taking care of your skin and adopting a proactive approach to prevent forehead wrinkles doesn't have to be complicated. By incorporating these easy tips into your daily routine, you can help preserve the youthful appearance of your skin and maintain a smoother, wrinkle-free forehead for years to come. Remember, prevention is key, so start implementing these practices early to enjoy long-term benefits for your skin's health and appearance.

How can you prevent skin ageing?

Skin aging is an inevitable part of life, but understanding its causes and adopting effective preventive measures can significantly delay its onset. As the skin undergoes natural changes with age, it becomes crucial to follow expert advice to maintain a youthful appearance. Here, we explore top tips from dermatologists to help you prevent skin aging and keep your skin healthy and vibrant.

Understanding Skin Aging

Skin aging occurs due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic aging is a natural process influenced by genetic factors, while extrinsic aging results from environmental factors such as sun exposure, pollution, and lifestyle choices. Both factors lead to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of skin elasticity. Recognizing these factors allows us to tailor preventive measures effectively.

Top Tips to Prevent Skin Aging

1. Sun Protection

Keyword Integration: dermatologist recommended skin care, dermatology near me, skin doctor near me

The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays are the leading cause of premature skin aging. Protecting your skin from UV damage is essential for maintaining youthful skin. Dermatologists recommend using broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours and wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses when outdoors. For personalized advice, consider visiting a dermatology clinic near you.

Additionally, seeking shade during peak sun hours (10 AM to 4 PM) can further protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Incorporating antioxidants like vitamin C in your skincare routine can also help neutralize free radicals caused by sun exposure.

2. Hydration and Moisturization

Keyword Integration: skin care specialist, best skin care clinic near me, skin care doctor near me

Keeping your skin hydrated is vital for preventing dryness and maintaining its elasticity. Use a good moisturizer that suits your skin type. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin are excellent ingredients to look for in a moisturizer as they attract and retain moisture in the skin. For specific recommendations, consult a skin care specialist or visit the best skin care clinic near you.

In addition to using a moisturizer, drinking plenty of water is crucial for keeping your skin hydrated from within. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water a day. Using a humidifier in dry climates can also help maintain skin moisture levels.

3. Healthy Diet

A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals can enhance your skin’s health. Foods high in vitamin C, E, and omega-3 fatty acids help protect against free radical damage and support collagen production. Drinking plenty of water also aids in keeping the skin hydrated. For a tailored skin care treatment plan, seek advice from a nearby skin care center.

Incorporate a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds into your diet. Foods like berries, spinach, walnuts, and salmon are excellent for your skin. Avoid excessive sugar and refined carbs, as they can accelerate aging through a process called glycation, which damages collagen and elastin.

4. Avoid Smoking and Excessive Alcohol

Keyword Integration: dermatologist consultation, skin care specialist clinic near me, skin specialist near me

Smoking accelerates the skin aging process by reducing blood flow and depleting essential nutrients. Similarly, excessive alcohol consumption can lead to dehydration, making the skin appear dull and aged. If you’re looking to quit smoking or reduce alcohol intake, a dermatologist consultation can provide guidance. Find a skin care specialist clinic near you for support.

Nicotine in cigarettes narrows blood vessels, impairing blood flow to the skin and leading to a sallow complexion. Alcohol, on the other hand, dehydrates the skin and dilates blood vessels, which can cause redness and puffiness over time. Moderation is key to maintaining healthy skin.

5. Regular Exercise

Exercise boosts blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to the skin, which promotes collagen production and a youthful glow. Regular physical activity also helps manage stress, which can otherwise accelerate skin aging. To create a comprehensive skin care plan, schedule a dermatologist appointment and discuss the best exercise routines for your skin.

Exercise also helps flush out toxins through sweat, which can contribute to clearer skin. Activities like yoga and meditation can also reduce stress levels, which have a direct impact on skin aging. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.

6. Proper Skincare Routine

Adopting a consistent skincare routine tailored to your skin type is crucial. This routine should include cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and sun protection. Using products with retinoids, antioxidants, and peptides can help reduce signs of aging. For personalized skincare advice, visit a dermatology clinic or skincare clinic near you to consult a skin specialist doctor.

Choose a gentle cleanser that does not strip the skin of its natural oils. Exfoliate regularly to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Incorporating serums with active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and peptides can target specific aging concerns. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen every morning, even if you’re indoors.

7. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Harsh chemicals in skincare products can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to irritation and premature aging. Opt for gentle, dermatologist-recommended products. If you experience hair loss or other skin concerns, seek advice from a cosmetic dermatology expert or a dermatologist hair loss specialist near you.

Avoid products containing alcohol, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances, as they can irritate the skin. Look for products labeled “non-comedogenic” to prevent clogged pores. Natural and organic skincare products can be a good alternative for those with sensitive skin.

8. Get Enough Sleep

Keyword Integration: skin specialist clinic near me, best dermatologist in bangalore, skin clinic near me

Adequate sleep is essential for skin repair and regeneration. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your skin to recover from daily stressors. If you have trouble sleeping, consider lifestyle changes or consult a skin specialist clinic near you. The best dermatologist in Bangalore or a nearby skin clinic can provide comprehensive care.

During sleep, your body boosts blood flow to the skin and repairs damage from the day. Lack of sleep can lead to dark circles, puffy eyes, and a dull complexion. Establish a bedtime routine, avoid screens before bed, and create a comfortable sleep environment to improve your sleep quality

9. Manage Stress

Chronic stress can accelerate skin aging by increasing the production of cortisol, a stress hormone that breaks down collagen. Engage in stress-relieving activities such as yoga, meditation, or hobbies you enjoy. Finding the best skin doctor near you can also help in managing skin issues related to stress.

Practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques can have a positive impact on your skin. Regularly setting aside time for self-care can help manage stress and improve overall well-being.

10. Regular Check-ups with a Dermatologist

High-risk pregnancy: Know what to expect

If you have a high-risk pregnancy, you might have questions. Will you need special prenatal care? Will your baby be OK? Get the facts about promoting a healthy pregnancy. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, you or your baby might be at increased risk of health problems before, during or after delivery. Typically, special monitoring or care throughout pregnancy is needed. Understand the risk factors for a high-risk pregnancy and what you can do to take care of yourself and your baby.

What are the risk factors for a high-risk pregnancy?

Sometimes a high-risk pregnancy is the result of a medical condition present before pregnancy. In other cases, a medical condition that develops during pregnancy for either you or your baby causes a pregnancy to become high-risk.

Specific factors that might contribute to a high-risk pregnancy include the following:

Advanced maternal age. Pregnancy risks are higher for mothers older than 35.

Lifestyle choices. Smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and using illegal drugs can put a pregnancy at risk.

Maternal health problems. High blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, epilepsy, thyroid disease, heart or blood disorders, poorly controlled asthma, and infections can increase pregnancy risks.

Pregnancy complications. Various complications that develop during pregnancy can pose risks. Examples include an unusual placenta position, fetal growth less than the 10th percentile for gestational age (fetal growth restriction), and rhesus (Rh) sensitization, a potentially serious condition that can occur when your blood group is Rh negative and your baby’s blood group is Rh positive.

Multiple pregnancy. Pregnancy risks are higher for women carrying more than one fetus.

Pregnancy history. A history of pregnancy-related hypertension disorders, such as preeclampsia, increases the risk of having this diagnosis during the next pregnancy. If you gave birth prematurely in your last pregnancy or if you’ve had multiple premature births, you’re at increased risk of an early delivery in your next pregnancy. Talk to your health care provider about your complete obstetric history.

What steps can I take to promote a healthy pregnancy?

Whether you know ahead of time that you’ll have a high-risk pregnancy or you simply want to do whatever you can to prevent a high-risk pregnancy, stick to the basics. For example:

Schedule a pre-conception appointment. If you’re thinking about becoming pregnant, consult your health care provider. Your provider might counsel you to start taking a daily prenatal vitamin with folic acid and reach a healthy weight before you become pregnant. If you have a medical condition, your treatment might be adjusted in preparation for pregnancy. Your health care provider might also discuss your risk of having a baby with a genetic condition.

Seek regular prenatal care. Prenatal visits can help your health care provider monitor your health and your baby’s health. You might be referred to a specialist in maternal-fetal medicine, genetics, pediatrics or other areas.

Avoid risky substances. If you smoke, quit. Alcohol and illegal drugs are off-limits, too. Talk to your health care provider about any medications or supplements you’re taking.

Do I need special tests?

Depending on the circumstances, your health care provider might recommend:

Specialized or targeted ultrasound. This type of fetal ultrasound — aan imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of a baby in the uterus — ttargets a suspected problem, such as development that’s not typical.

Prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) screening. During this procedure, DNA from the mother and fetus is extracted from a maternal blood sample, and the fetal DNA is screened for the increased chance of specific chromosome problems.

Invasive genetic screening. Your health care provider might recommend amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). During amniocentesis, a sample of the fluid that surrounds and protects a baby during pregnancy (amniotic fluid) is withdrawn from the uterus. Typically done after week 15 of pregnancy, amniocentesis can identify certain genetic conditions as well as serious problems of the brain or spinal cord (neural tube defects).

During CVS, a sample of cells is removed from the placenta. Typically done between weeks 10 and 12 of pregnancy, CVS can identify certain genetic conditions.

Ultrasound for cervical length. Your health care provider might use an ultrasound to measure the length of your cervix at prenatal appointments to determine if you’re at risk of preterm labor.

Lab tests. Your health care provider will test your urine for urinary tract infections and screen you for infectious diseases such as HIV and syphilis.

Biophysical profile. This prenatal ultrasound is used to check on a baby’s well-being. It might involve only an ultrasound to evaluate fetal well-being or, depending on the results of the ultrasound, also fetal heart rate monitoring (nonstress test).

What else do I need to know about high-risk pregnancy?

Talk to your health care provider about how to manage any medical conditions you have during pregnancy and how your health might affect labor and delivery. Contact your health care provider if you have:

Vaginal bleeding or watery vaginal discharge

Severe headaches

Pain or cramping in the lower abdomen

Decreased fetal activity

Pain or burning with urination

Changes in vision, including blurred vision

Sudden or severe swelling in the face, hands or fingers

Fever or chills

Vomiting or persistent nausea

Dizziness

Thoughts of harming yourself or your baby

A high-risk pregnancy might have ups and downs. Do your best to stay positive as you take steps to promote a healthy pregnancy.

Top Benefits of Using Eye Wrinkles Cream

However, according to Akram, these two products serve different functions. "The skin around the eyes is delicate and thin and breaks down much faster than other thicker areas of skin because it is not as collagen-rich," Akram explains. Also, the eye area lacks sebum, which lubricates the skin. Eye creams are specifically formulated to correct, restore, and moisturize this area." I use Biossance night cream because I’m crazy about its key ingredient, which is also the star of Squalane + Marine Algae Firming & Lifting Eye Cream click here.

As we age, our skin undergoes various changes, and one of the most noticeable signs of aging is the appearance of eye wrinkles. Many people seek solutions to combat these fine lines and restore a youthful look. Aloe vera lotion has emerged as a popular choice for those wishing to diminish the signs of aging around their eyes.

You may experience mild redness, a warm, tingling sensation or flaking (skin exfoliation). These are normal, temporary indications that the formula is working. If effects persist/cause discomfort, reduce the frequency of use until your skin adjusts, then revert to daily use as tolerated. Avoid contact with eyes - if contact occurs, rinse well with water. Use a sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product. Applying eye cream directly to the eyelids could cause irritation to the skin and eyes.

Understanding Eye Wrinkles Eye wrinkles typically form due to a combination of factors, including environmental exposure, natural aging, and repetitive facial movements. The delicate skin around the eyes is thinner than the rest of the face, making it more susceptible to developing wrinkles. Common causes include sun damage, smoking, lack of sleep, and dehydration. Your skin around the eyes is particularly thin and exposed to external aggressions, which is why it ages more quickly and requires appropriate attention. Not just a cute jar, this K-beauty inspired melting eye mask is a truly effective skincare buy. When Allure tests a product, our editors look at it from every angle in an effort to best serve you. We review ingredients, scrutinize brand claims, and, when necessary, examine peer-reviewed scientific and medical studies. Stay in the glow with the latest beauty and skincare trends, products, and procedures. The Benefits of Eye Wrinkles Cream The Vbeam Perfecta and Prima, Excel V Laser, Cynergy, and other laser and energy-based... I've been using this collagen-boosting under eye cream for a few weeks now, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the results. Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Eye SPF 15 offers UVB and UVA protection from premature skin ageing and the deepening of wrinkles in the eye area. Yes, I’ll admit — I felt super “that girl” when using this TikTok-trending brand, but the actual quality of this less-than-$50 cream is quite revolutionary. It’s incredibly emollient, tipping it as one that’s ideal for dry skin, and has a translucent peach color that instantly rubs in clear. Eye wrinkles cream is specifically formulated to target the unique needs of the skin around the eyes. Here are some key benefits: Hydration: A good eye cream provides essential moisture to prevent dryness, which can exacerbate the appearance of wrinkles. Firmness: Many eye creams contain ingredients that help improve skin elasticity and firmness, reducing sagging and puffiness. Brightening: Ingredients like caffeine or vitamin C can help alleviate dark circles and brighten the area, contributing to a more youthful appearance. Targeted Treatment: Eye creams often include active ingredients such as retinol or peptides that specifically address fine lines and wrinkles. Choosing the Right Eye Wrinkles Cream Its main ingredient, retinaldehyde (AKA retinal), targets fine lines and skin texture and is joined by hydrating hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which help protect the barrier. This lightweight cream spreads and absorbs easily when massaged gently along the under-eye area. It boasts a variety of active ingredients that create the illusion of a good night’s sleep, with tranexamic acid reducing hyperpigmentation and firming agents including cedar bark and caffeine to reduce puffiness. This day-to-night eye cream is a midweight marvel that strikes a balance between a moisturizer and a serum, offering firming and radiance-boosting effects that continue to build over time.

It counters signs of premature aging with alpenrose extract and nourishes with cherry oil. "Injections with neuromodulators can also help limit the ability of certain muscles to contract, which prevents the formation of dynamic lines that form when making certain facial expressions," explains Dr. Camp. Botox is an example of a neuromodulator that can soften crow's feet. If you're interested in injectables, we recommend setting up an appointment with a dermatologist to discuss your best option. Because it’s tinted, this product is particularly effective on bare-face days, or if you prefer not to wear a lot of make-up.

"Plumping and hydrating the under eyes with peptides, ceramides and hyaluronic acid can also help prevent shadows from occurring," she explains. That said, the Olay Regenerist Retinol24 Night Eyes Cream is a breath of fresh air — a gentle eye cream that targets anti-aging well. It’s partially firming — without offering a dry and tight feeling underneath your eyes — and I find it’s most beneficial when used at nighttime, before your night cream. A multi-tasking eye cream that visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles and under-eye puffiness while lifting droopy eyelids. The key lies in the use of a unique Future-Sculpt Technology and proprietary blend of golden botanical extracts to address these signs of ageing and reveal youthful looking peepers.

Refresh and depuff with ENERGYNATURE Anti-Puff Eye Serum. Plant ingredients like caffeine and bitter orange relieve puffiness and help absorb nutrients. There's some debate about whether an eye cream or serum is necessary if you're already using a facial moisturizer, but we're here to tell you it is. Rouleau recommends opting for an eye cream that isn't overly greasy or too heavy. When selecting an eye wrinkles cream, consider the following factors: Skin Type: Choose a product that suits your skin type, whether it's oily, dry, or sensitive. Ingredients: Look for eye creams with proven ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, or antioxidants that support skin health. Texture: Depending on personal preference, you may prefer a gel-based formula for a lighter feel or a creamier consistency for deeper hydration. Ceramides are an emollient that helps to lock in moisture and protect the skin from damage. Our experts say reading the ingredient list is the most important factor when considering an eye cream. For more than 150 years, Harper’s Bazaar has been the preeminent fashion and beauty resource for women at every age. We recommend a patch test prior to use if you are particularly sensitive. Yes, although we recommend you apply around the eye area - specifically the ocular bone - for best results. We deliver a holistic dermo-cosmetic approach to protect your skin, keep it healthy and radiant.

According to the brand, it's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Several reviewers claim that it worked well to brighten dark under eye areas. Founded in 1946, Estee Lauder boasts a long history of crafting tried-and-true luxury skincare products, and this eye cream is another fantastic case in point. This ophthalmologist- and dermatologist-tested eye cream contains Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant to help protect against free-radical damage, and hyaluronic acid, which plumps and hydrates the eyes. It's designed to last you a while, as it features a richer consistency that goes quite a long way and noticeably plumps the under-eye skin.

Meanwhile, CeraVe repair cream is an affordable, gentle, barrier-protecting option to help hydrate even sensitive skin. Finally, The Ordinary’s multi-peptide eye serum is a lightweight option offering a refreshing effect. Skin becomes fragile and loses elasticity as it matures, so, opt for ingredients that plump up, hydrate and increase collagen production in the skin.

Application Tips for Maximum Effectiveness To ensure that your eye wrinkles cream works effectively, follow these application tips: “Most eye creams may be applied day and night,�� Dr. Wesley said. “However, those that include sunscreen ingredients in them may be more appropriate for daytime use. Another Korean skincare brand with an effective, noticeably different eye cream is Dr. Jart+. The Ceramidin Eye Cream has a travel-friendly pump applicator, but that’s not all — it upholds a balance of brightening and de-puffing in this one $40 product.

Apply Twice Daily: For best results, apply the cream both morning and night as part of your skincare routine. Instead, think of eye cream as a skincare step to smooth this area of the face, while offering hydration and radiance, which can counteract the appearance of any concerns. Anti-aging eye creams work in different ways depending on their active ingredients. Not every ingredient in a moisturizer is meant to moisturize; some are formulated to help brighten dull skin, constrict blood vessels to diminish dark circles, or restore plumpness to make lines less visible. So it’s really the ingredients, and not necessarily the brand—and certainly not the marketing language—you should focus on. Say au revoir to dark circles and good riddance to puffy, dry skin — this under-eye cream does it all.
