Demystifying Anti Aging Skin Care

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

The anti aging skin care market is estimated to be worth billions of dollars. Everyone is looking for the proverbial “Fountain of Youth” and they’re willing to pay a hefty price for the search. The developers and manufacturers of anti aging skin care products are working around the clock to come up with new and better ways to keep people looking youthful.

Who’s driving this market? For years, women have been the biggest consumers of anti-aging skin care products. But today, as the first of the Baby Boomers begins to enter their “golden years,” men are becoming just as demanding. Whether the result of a personal preference or whether it’s an attempt to remain standing in a fiercely competitive global marketplace, more men are turning to anti aging skin care products than ever before.

So which of the anti aging skin care products is the best? That’s difficult to answer simply by reading product literature because they all make that claim. Many people believe that the “better” products are the ones that cost more but this isn’t necessarily true.

Interestingly, one of the best anti aging skin care products available isn’t labeled as such. Your best defense against the signs of aging is sunscreen. Protecting your skin from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays is crucial if you want to avoid wrinkles. It’s one of the best habits you can adopt early in life. Another lifestyle habit worth developing is consuming a fruit- and vegetable-rich diet which will give your body the vitamins and minerals it needs to offset the signs of aging. One habit that’s definitely worth stopping is smoking. Smoking saps the body of antioxidants, something it needs to produce collagen which is what gives skin its elasticity.

Anti aging skin care products are out there, and many are produced and marketed by reputable cosmetics and skin care manufacturers. If you’re trying to keep that youthful appearance, the secret to success is combining the right anti aging skin care products with a healthy lifestyle!

Skin Care Treatments for Rejuvenating Aging Skin

Friday, March 27th, 2009

We all wonder if there really is a “face lift in a jar” and, if so, what is it and where can I get some- right now! Of course, we all would love such a simple remedy that can miraculously provide us with the fountain of youth right in our own little pot of face cream. But, unfortunately, the truth of the matter is a bit more complicated than a face lift miracle in a jar.

There are a variety of signs of aging that we see occur as the years march along that can include-(just to name just a few)- sun damage, dry, scaly skin, dark age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, mottled skin tone, enlarged pores, sagging facial skin, ruddy skin texture, loss of skin elasticity and a decrease in the skin’s healing abilities. Obviously, even if you have just a few of these aging skin symptoms, don’t you think it is rather unlikely that just one simple, little face cream- the miracle in a jar- is going to effectively address such a range of issues? A magic wand, maybe, but
who has one of those?

But don’t despair, effective skin rejuvenation is possible with accurate information and a well thought out strategy. The first and foremost in creating an effective skin rejuvenation regime is to use clinically proven anti-aging skin care treatments. Although the market is saturated with products that claim to banish wrinkles forever, firm sagging skin and make those age spots just up and disappear right before your very eyes; there are in actuality, only a handful of anti-aging treatments that have been independently clinically proven to be effective.

Start your skin rejuvenation regime with clinically proven skin care treatments. For example, some of the more popular favorites are Vitamin A-(better known as retinol), glycolic acid- (an alpha hydroxy acid, AHA), Vitamin C Ester, and Vitamin K. The trick is to make sure that the active ingredient(s) in products you select have incorporated an appropriate percentage of the anti-aging treatment.

If you review the ingredient list and the product only has a 1% concentration of glycolic acid, then why bother? An effective concentration of glycolic acid should be at least 8%. (Although, any product with a concentration of glycolic acid over 15% should only be administered by a professional, you don’t want to harm your skin!) The Vitamin A, retinol products should have at least a .15% concentration. The strongest over the counter retinol product that you can buy without a prescription is 1%. The higher concentrations of both glycolic acid and retinol can be rather strong so start very, very slowly so your skin has a chance to get use to them.

Just these two skin care treatments can accomplish a great deal in rejuvenating aging skin including exfoliating dead skin cells, stimulating skin cell repair, encouraging new skin cell growth, improving fine lines and wrinkles, stimulating collagen production, improving skin tone and texture, decreasing enlarged pores and can actually significantly improve acne or outbreaks of blemishes. Not bad for beginning a new skin rejuvenation regime.

Layering different anti-aging treatments is also an important strategy to use if you want to achieve significant results. Adding a powerful antioxidant such as a stable form of Vitamin C Ester will help protect the skin from further damage and improve the skin’s healing ability. A “Super” Vitamin K product is well known for improving those dark circles under the eyes and is helpful is reducing the redness from broken capillaries that can give the skin a red, ruddy appearance. Although DMAE hasn’t been clinically proven to firm sagging skim, preliminary studies have been quite promising. Hydroquinone in concentrations of 1% to 2% can be used to bleach those stubborn age spots that can blossom with wild abandon as we age.

There are simply hundreds of combinations for skin care treatments that can be tailored to address your own aging skin care needs so don’t be afraid to experiment a little bit to find the best combination that works for you!

Anti-Aging Skin Care Why Can’t We Just Keep it Simple

Friday, March 13th, 2009

If you’ve ever tried to find a skin care product to deal with the skin care concerns of aging skin, you’re probably as confused as the average person. There are so many products and ingredients that tout ‘increase in this’, ‘decrease in that’ , ‘revitalized this and revitalized that’ and on and on and on. Many empty promises or over-hyped formulations.

In order to understand what anti-aging skin care products are intended to do, you have to first understand about what the aging process is for skin. Aging skin has the condition where the structural proteins that bind and support the skin, collagen and elastin, lose their resiliency and cohesion, causing the skin to wrinkle and/or sag. The body’s ability to produce new collagen and elastin also diminishes with age while the cells in the various layers of our skin decline and thin, loosing the ability to adequately maintain moisture. Without proper hydration, the healing mechanisms of the skin cease to function, adversely affecting the skin’s ability to receive nutrients and repair itself. The result is rough, lose, wrinkled skin.

Of course, we all want to have the best skin possible at any age and are searching for solutions to maintain our skin’s youthfulness. In our quest and with the constant marketing and advancements in skin care, it can sometimes be difficult to find an affordable and effective solution for great skin care.

However, what you need to know is that it doesn’t have to be that complex (as many of the product name suggest!). What you should consider is that what any skin care program should be is simple. That’s it, just simple. The results that we all want are simple: soft, smooth, clear, radiant, younger-looking skin.

Too much of the time now days, skin care marketers are trying to convenience consumers that they need formulations that no average consumer can understand, or day and night products, or formulations that highly successful, well-known personalities would use. If you think about it, how many products do you currently have in your storage that were purchased because of these marketing strategies?

With these types of advertising, there are so many re-touches and questionable representation of the product effectiveness because the personality also receives so many other types of services and procedures that impact the condition of skin that you really cannot know the true results that the highly marketed products will bring.

The positive side of the situation is that there are constant and ever evolving advances in skin care and we all have the option for our skin condition improving with age.

If you are looking for a skin care program, there are some guidelines you may want to consider when making your skin care choices:

 Protect your skin while you are in the sun and extreme weather. Use proper protection.

 Drink lots of water. It’s so important for proper skin hydration and keeping your body clean from toxins and other chemicals that could cause adverse reactions in your skin.

 You should know what you are using on your skin. If you can’t pronounce the majority of the ingredients or there are more than 5 or 6 ingredients, then it may be too complex for what your skin actually needs. Skin care that uses these types of formulations are full of fillers, coloring, preservatives, and chemicals that are not beneficial for your skin and come with a high price where the consumer is paying for the filler more so than the active ingredients. These types of ingredients are only needed to fill up the bottle and make it appealing to smell or touch. Sometimes products will contain multiple active ingredients but in order to formulate these ingredients, it requires that other ingredients be added. You end up paying for something your skin cannot use. The cheaper ingredients are filling up the bottle. Try a similar approach to how you would choose your food (skin is ‘live cells’ and needs nourishment). Watch the labels and choose products with skin healthy formulations where the active ingredients are 80% of the ingredients.

 You should use a good and effective cleanser. This is the most important step in your skin care process. Many cleansing products do not leave your skin feeling smooth and deeply cleansed. Find a product that goes deep into the pores, provides light exfoliation and conditioning, and does not leave any residue. Applying moisturizers and treatments on top of skin that is not completely clean will just make the problem worse by clogging pores and showing a rough, uneven skin texture.

 You should be able to adjust your program to meet your skin’s daily needs. If you can’t adjust the use of the products to match what your skin needs on a particular day, are you really getting what you need? Your program should be able to hydrate, heal, and renew your skin. You should see this gradual improvement everyday and not have to wait 30 to 60 days for results. It’s like watering a plant. A plant that needs water as a critical nutrient will respond immediately to the water being absorbed through its roots and perk up within a few hours. Watch your skin for a week or so and you’ll know how effective the program can ultimately be for your skin care needs.

 You should be able to quickly go through your regime. It should not take more than 5 minutes. A skin care program should include the steps to cleanse, exfoliate, treat and/or moisturize. You should be able to pick and choose what you need based on you skin’s current condition for that day.

 You should not be able to feel the product on your skin. In order for skin care to really be effective, it must penetrate the skin cells. Product sitting on top of your skin is product that is not penetrating the skin layers. Products with fillers and other unnecessary, complex formulations will may not get deep or directly enough to provide the treatment and results you are looking for. You should not know that you are wearing your skin care.

 You should feel comfortable with makeup optional skin. If your skin care is really working, your skin will improve and you will not want to put makeup on it if you don’t have to. Most skin problems are correctable to a large degree. You should be able to go out feeling confident that your skin is at its best (with minimal makeup) no matter what your age is. Also, by using makeup less, you are giving your skin more time to repair and restore itself without the interruption of other product chemicals on your skin.

How You Can Use Your Diet as a Major Component for Your Natural Skin Care Program

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

With so much emphasis today on staying healthy and looking good we see many remedies for skin care and a healthy look, that it is sometime very confusing. Although there are many great products being marketed today there are also many things that one can do to assist your body in creating and producing beautiful skin from the inside out. The following foods incorporated into your diet will make your natural skin care program work in synergy with your body to produce beautiful skin.

People spend a lot of money every year to look good. To have beautiful smooth wrinkle free skin but neglect to give the attention to the foods that they consume that will add to
their beautiful skin. It is not enough to just exfoliate, and use the lotions and potions to have beautiful skin. Beautiful skin comes from the generation of healthy vibrant cells being produced from within your body.

One of the most important substances you can put into your body to aid in producing excellent skin is water. Water flushes toxins out of your body, it help you loss weight and is a major source of hydration. If you are only putting a moisturizer on top of your skin this is not enough. How about adding moisture to your skin from the inside by drinking plenty of clean purified water.

Your diet and the foods you consume not only affect your skin but your overall health. If you choose to put garbage in your body you will get garbage out. So for starter I’ll tell you what to avoid. Avoid greasy fatty foods and processed food. Being today to put wholesome fresh foods into your body and let that nutrition rebuild and keep your skin and entire body vibrant and healthy.

For starters you should be consuming foods that contain vitamin C. Vitamin C promotes healing, help rebuild collagen, and produces skin with elasticity and firmness. Food such as citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes, broccoli and cabbage are high in vitamin C and can help in reducing wrinkles and fine lines.

Green tea is also an excellent anti-oxidant which improves your immune system and is an excellent substitute for coffee.

Soy proteins which have a high amount of amino acids, flavonoids and vitamin E help the skin retain moisture and give the skin a smooth appearance.

The essential fatty acids which are your omega 3’s and 6’s are the good fats that the entire body needs. These good fats will help your skin, hair, nails, muscles and all your cellular functions. It will help to clear up blemishes and reduce wrinkles. Food like olives, olive oil, almonds and avocados are excellent sources of your good fats. Also fresh fish like salmon will provide a good source of your omega 3’s and 6’s.

And let’s not forget our greens. Vegetables such as spinach, collard greens, and kale are high in vitamins A, C and E. They also contain good amounts of iron and fiber. These foods help to reduce wrinkles and give your skin a healthy look.

Another great food to help your skin and your immune system is yogurt. Yogurt contains friendly bacteria which help improve your digestion which in turn improves your immune system. An improved immune system will definitely support your largest organ, your skin.

One other food that will assist your body and your immune system to produce healthy skin is garlic. Garlic is high in anti-oxidants and has been used for centuries for medicinal purposes. It will assist your body and immune system to stay healthy and fight off infections and disease.

And now the best part. For all you people who desire great healthy looking skin this will probably be your favorite part. Cocoa powder which is found in chocolate is very high in polyphenol anti-oxidants. It has twice the anti-oxidant properties of red wine and three times the anti-oxidant properties of green tea. Dark chocolate typically has the highest percentage of cocoa. I have seen some dark chocolates as high as 83% cocoa. Now remember everything in moderation. Don’t go and eat a box of chocolate every day. Just a small piece every few days and only eat the finer dark chocolates with the highest amounts of cocoa.

You see there are many excellent nutritious foods you can consume that will add to your natural skin care program and will also help with your overall health and well being. So
eat well, look good and keep your skin healthy from the inside out.

Anti-Aging Skin Care – An Introduction

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Anti-aging skin care is a broad field based on reducing the visible effects of aging on the human body. In this introduction to the field, I cover the definition of anti-aging, the symptoms and the treatment of the skin in order to reduce the effects of ani-aging.

In order to investigate the field of anti-aging skin care, we must first define exactly what is aging, in relation to the skin.

Aging is a natural and inevitable process. As we grow older, the human body deteriorates over time. Although it has powerful abilities to renew itself, we all eventually succumb to the effects of time. Modern lifestyles dicate that most of us will die from heart disease, cancer or perhaps even violent means — these can be considered premature forms of death. Ultimately, we would otherwise die from multiple organ failure as a result of aging.

That being said, the human body remains a capable one right the way through to our senior years. The obvious signs of our aging are curvature of the spine, loss of calcium in our bones (especially for women), wrinkles, skin tags or “age spots”, baldness, greying of the hair and hearing and eyesight loss.

For a multitude of reasons, many of us wish to minimize these inevitable signs of aging. From this desire has spawned an entire industry devoted to anti-aging skin care.

The most effective anti-aging skin care regimen should start as early as possible, before the onset of any symptoms. Starting as early as your teens is beneficial in the long run. Prevention is better than cure but there are still many options for those in their later years.

A holistic regime is the most effective. Start by eating correctly — stick to natural and organic foods. Avoid chemicals where possible. Drink plenty of water. Eat many portions of fruit and vegetables daily. Avoid stressful situations. Get at least eight hours of sleep every day. Stay out of the sun. This advice will hold you in very good stead.

In addition to this, there are a variety of commercial anti-aging skin care products that can aid in preventing the signs of aging.

Vitamin C and vitamin C derivative products can be found everywhere. Vitamin C both promotes the production of collagen and is also an anti-oxidant. Collagen is an essential protein found in human skin whilst anti-oxidants sweep up harmful free radicals from the body. However, vitamin C is highly unstable when exposed to air which reduces its anti-aging potential, hence why there are many vitamin C derivative products on the market.

Botulinum endotoxin (or “Botox” as it is more widely known) paralyses muscles for a temporary period. Popular for both men and women, it is commonly used around the eyes, to reduce the appearance of wrinkles popularly referred to as “crows feet”. Whilst considered a drastic measure by relatively few, Botox procedures are actually amongst the safest forms of anti-aging skin care, when we compare the reward to the risk.

These are but two of the possible treatments to prevent the signs of aging. This field of skin care is a huge one and offers made-to-measure treatment options for everyone.

Anti Aging Skin Care and Treatments Dermatologists Use and Recommend

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

“Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s fairest of them all” might have been the uttering of one of the most hated characters we have come across, but this concern for outward good looks is too deep-rooted in the human psyche. The basic concept of beauty has been and remains to be soft, flawless, glowing skin. Advancing age, however, takes its toll and the skin becomes blotchy, rough and dull. Seen from this angle, the topic ‘anti aging skin care and treatments’ calls for sincere reflection. The sagging and sinking skins have had enough of natural beauty tips that do really well unless scars and wrinkles steal appearances and the once healthy skin falls an easy prey to advancing age. It is time now that they get some insight into the steps being taken in anti aging skin care and treatments.

A number of aesthetic or cosmetic plastic surgery like face-lifts, thread lifts, fat transfer and a host of non-surgical skin refinishing treatments are now available to fight back the impacts of aging and the harsh treatments meted out to skin. Given the wide selection of skin-rejuvenating treatments, it is preferable that a reliable dermatologist be entrusted with the responsibility of working out the ideal anti aging skin care treatment to eliminate and soften the effects of aging.

The recommended skin care regimen prescribed by the skin specialist may be a singular or a combination cure, depending on the seriousness of the condition, age and other health related issues. The surgical part of the treatment is handled by the skin specialists but the follow-up skin care program necessitates total patient involvement.

The following section elaborates some of the anti aging skin care treatments, which can be used at home:

Glycolic Acid – Glycolic or ‘fruity acid’ treatments are good for pigmented aging skin. The bleaching-cum-moisturizing action of this anti aging skin care treatment removes the skin blotches and smoothens the rough, sun-damaged skin, reviving its natural freshness. Available in two forms (cream and face wash), Glycolic Acid should be applied to the face twice daily or as recommended by the skin specialist. There are no serious medical problems associated with the usage of glycolic acids other than causing temporary skin irritation and redness sometimes. It is regarded as a safe anti-aging skin treatment. Caring for the rejuvenated skin involves use of sun block creams too.

TCA Skin Peels – The TCA skin peels are the most sought after anti-aging skin care treatments, because these medium strength peels are perfectly safe and essentially effective. They fight back the ravages of advancing years by removing facial lines and wrinkles and give back the skin its lost elasticity, suppleness.

The best thing about this easy-to-apply, home-based anti-aging skin care treatment is that its effect lasts up to a year or so. Twice a year application of TCA peels will certainly benefit the skin and are now available for at home use (see the website below for more on this).

Adding some natural skin care tips like hydrating the body inside out, going for a balanced diet (containing anti-oxidants), a little meditation and other health tips summarize a full-fledged anti aging skin care program.

Anti Aging Skin Care – Tips on Defying Skin Aging

Friday, February 27th, 2009

As we get older, the skin ages too. This article looks at the ways in which we can defy skin aging and retain our youthful complexions for as long as possible.

Know the Common Signs of Skin Aging

Different people will show different signs of aging at different times in their lives.

For a person who is in his or her mid-late 20s, the skin is generally in good condition but some signs of skin aging may appear. Depending on the person’s lifestyle, some of these signs could include dry or rough skin, blotchy skin, darkened and dull skin or an uneven skin tone

For a person in his or her late 20s or 30s, more signs of skin aging may appear. These could include loose skin, larger pores or even fine line and wrinkles.

For a person in his or her 40s, deeper expression lines, frown lines on the forehead, more obvious wrinkles and crow’s feet may appear. The skin may appear more sallow and less firm.

For a person in his or her 50s and 60s, deep wrinkles and folds of skin may appear. The skin becomes more dry and rough. Age spots may also appear.

Understand the Cause of Skin Aging

Skin aging is 90% of the time due to sun damage and 10% due to genetic factors.

Intrinsic or biological aging is due to genetic factors. The intrinsic factors are the slow down of skin turnover, decreased collagen and sebum production.

Extrinsic or photo aging is also called sun-induced skin aging and therefore largely preventable. Sun damage is accumulated a little each time there is an exposure to the burning rays of the sun. The damage is not immediately noticeable. Often one is not aware of the amount of sun damage accumulated until much later, years later in fact.

Never Too Early to Start Protecting Your Skin

Your skin starts to age from the time you were born! As sun damage is primary cause of skin aging, it is never too early to start protecting your skin from the burning rays of the sun. So always apply sunscreen lotion on yourself and your kids when you are outdoors. Prevention is always better than cure!

If you love to sun tan or an outdoors person, a good, strong sun cream is a must.

Stub out that Cigarette

Not only is smoking detrimental for your health, it is also bad for your skin. It reduces blood flow to the skin and causes the skin to look dry and sallow. Smoking further encourages wrinkles to develop around the mouth as smokers puckers their mouth and “crow’s feet” around the eye due to squinting to avoid the smoke.

Other Anti Aging Skin Care Tips

Other anti aging skin care tips include:

  • Having a healthy life style
  • Drink in moderation
  • Cut down on your caffeine in take
  • Exercise to improve your blood circulation
  • Reduce or manage the stress level in your life
  • Have sufficient sleep each night
  • Last but not least, maintain a good skin care routine

How Many Hoops Will You Jump Through Anti Aging Skin Care

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

The lengths that people go through for Anti aging skin care. We’re a population obsessed with not allowing ourselves to look as old as we are, and often will go through painful procedures to prevent it. From searching out Home Remedies to trying all and any types of anti aging skin care creams anti aging is serious business. Something to note is that people are finally starting to wisen up that some of these anti aging skin care procedures might not be really safe. This has leaded the masses to search out other products, products that can bring back their youthful appearance without putting themselves and their skin at risk.

Often people will try home remedies for anti aging skin care. These are not always the best practices but generally they are inexpensive to try. The positive points that the ingredients are all natural are important to some people but using home remedies for anti aging skin care can run some risks. Most risks are to do with allergies and reactions to the ingredients. We often cannot judge how our skin will react to certain items, also if the home remedy isn’t made correctly there could be a chance of serious illness.

At the other end of spectrum some anti aging skin care remedies can be very painful and expensive. For instance Botox injections, laser surgery, and other cosmetic surgery processes have become very popular. How ever they run the risk of leaving scare tissue. Of course the worse case scenario is a procedure gone wrong that could leave the patient hospitalized. The pain, cost, and potential dangers of these anti aging skin care remedies should be enough to eliminate them from the short list of potential solutions.

So if home remedies aren’t the solution, and medical solutions such as injections and surgeries are dangerous, what’s the right anti aging skin care solution? Well believe it or not some of the products you can buy online, or at your local drug or cosmetics counter are your best alternative.

Anti aging skin care remedies that have been researched by large corporations run the smallest risk of causing an allergic reaction. Of course there are always the minute few who are sensitive to different ingredients, but the risk is far lower.

In today’s health and beauty industry research and technology have developed several anti aging skin care ways to deliver collagen back to the skin. Collagen is what the skin wants and needs to keep its youthful glow and soft feel. But it doesn’t just stop at the skin. What about those dark under eye circles, or your lips. There are products for that too!

With the products available today for anti aging skin care you can literally develop a system of 2-4 products that each work on a specific part of your face and body. Let’s face it, this isn’t easy stuff we want to do, we’re not talking about moisturizing. It makes sense that there isn’t a one product fits the bill solution. We need to search out the best product for each of our problem areas.

With the risks associated with home remedies, and the pain and price of medical anti aging skin care procedures this concept doesn’t seem like such a bad alternative. While we may be talking about an anti aging cream for your face, a serum for under eye, and maybe even one other product for your lips it still won’t amount to the cost of a round of Botox injections. Let the experts do what they do best, develop solutions that works for anti aging skin care, and you just sit back relax and reap the rewards.

2) For Dark Circles: Grated potatoes can lighten under-eye circles. Potatoes contain an enzyme called catecholase, which is used in cosmetics as a human skin lightener. Put the potatoes in a food processor and stuff the raw mash into a piece of cheese cloth. Apply to the area directly beneath your eye- dont let the potato juice come in contact with the eye itself – and leave for 15 to 20 minutes. Wipe away the starchy residue.

3) Fixing Dark Circles: Other traditional and well known remedy is to place cucumber slices on eyelids while relaxing in hot bath. This will be like pampering yourself to the acme, treating yourself like a queen.

4) Soft Hands: So your hands dont feel soft anymore? Before you go to bed, lavishly apply vaseline and then pop on a pair of cotton gloves. Your hands will be incredibly soft by morning.

5) White nails: To whiten your nails, try these:

. Use a common whitening tooth paste. Try scrubbing your nails with toothpaste, its just as easy as achieving a pearly white smile and will take away any stains and shine up your nails.

. Soak your nails in water with lemon juice or lemon slices. The lemon acts as an astringent and will strip away stains.

Anti-Aging Skin Care

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

The aging of your skin may be inevitable. But why rush it? There are ways to slow down sagging and wrinkles. Using skin creams and treatments may already be a part of your daily grooming regimen. However, topical creams cannot be expected to work alone for full efficacy. The best way to start your anti-aging effort is on the inside.

First of all, are you drinking enough water? There are varying opinions about how much water an individual actually needs for good health, but the general consensus remains that you probably aren’t drinking enough. If you’re thirsty, your skin is thirsty too — which means dryness and wrinkles. Hydrate your skin by drinking water regularly.

Drink water . . . but avoid alcohol and soft drinks. The contents of these beverages — alcohol and caffeine — dehydrate skin, wreaking havoc on its structure. An acceptable alternative to water is green tea, which is low in caffeine (but enough for a pick-me-up). Green tea, as you probably already know, is loaded with antioxidants that destroy free radicals, which cause aging.

A multivitamin is always a good idea, but our bodies most easily absorb nutrients from food. Include plenty of fruits and vegetables in your diet. In addition to vitamins and minerals, you’re fortifying your body with more antioxidants. Blueberries are one of nature’s “super foods,” having one of the highest antioxidant values.

Exercise! Exercise helps keep us from aging by keeping weight down, working the heart, toning muscles, and getting the blood flowing (to the skin!). People who exercise look younger and feel younger. It’s a most beneficial habit to get into.

People who look younger than their age repeatedly reveal one vital secret: getting enough sleep. If you aren’t, find ways to work it in. Instead of sitting up in front of the television, turn it off at a reasonable time and take a book to bed. This quiet practice can lead to an easier time getting to sleep — sometimes the colors and movement of the television keep our brains working even after we’ve begun to relax.

You may feel that you don’t have the time to take care of your skin, but keep in mind: by the time you do “have time,” it will be too late. The time to protect your skin is now! Years later, you’ll be thanking yourself for it — and not only will you look younger, you’ll feel younger too.
