Anti-Aging: Turning Back The Clock
Have you thought about what causes your skin to
age? Do you believe that you woke up one day
and your skin became wrinkled and creased over-
night.
They are actually natural to the aging process.
The skin becomes thinner and wrinkles appear.
The sun will also advance the aging process and
it can cause premature aging to the face and
other body parts that have been exposed.
Also, repeated eye movements such as squinting
and smiling can cause lines and wrinkles as well
as other facial grimaces. There are some things
though that you can do to slow down the aging
process and appear to turn back the clock.
If you are able to avoid the sun, prevention is your best cure. If you do go out in the sun, make sure you
have sunscreen on all exposed areas of the body. The ill effects of the sun can occur all year round. If
you must work outside, wear a hat that will help shade your face.
Diet is very important. Eat plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables and rink plenty of water. If you
drink four glasses of water everyday you are hydrating your skin to assure that it remains supple. You
may want to add olive oil to your diet because it also helps your skin maintain suppleness.
You can also help your skin by washing your face everyday. It's not a good idea to scrub your face, but
remove all make up and gently cleanse your skin at night. If you are drying your face, gently pat the
area rather than scrubbing it.
Also you may want to consider taking steps to help improve your skin’s overall appearance. If you are
not using, you may want to consider using a daily moisturizer. It will help keep the skin smooth and
hydrated. It will also improve the overall look of your face and it will minimize wrinkles. Once you cleanse
your face at night, you should apply a moisturizer that will work while you sleep. In the morning apply
moisturizer before putting on your makeup.
If you have a specific area that you want to target such as your eyes you may want to try an eye cream.
Also be very gentle with your skin, do not scrub it or apply a great deal of pressure as this will cause
wrinkles. It is best to apply moisturizer by tapping it on.
There are also some dermatologists that promote many products that claim to minimize and reduce
wrinkles. They can be bought through your doctor or over the counter.
Of course, there are plastic surgeons available
that will offer Botox treatments and face lifts.
However, you will most certainly pay a high price
for these services and very often they will leave
you looking unnatural, with puppet-like exagger-
ated features.
As you age, you most certainly want to postpone
the effects such as wrinkles and creases. I am
sure you have heard that you need to exercise
regularly, watch your diet, sleep eight hours a day,
use anti aging cosmetics and try hormone therapy.
Some people have even tried plastic surgery to
get rid of wrinkles and other signs of aging.
However, if you get back to basics and eat healthy,
which includes three nutritious meals a day and,
exercise, exercise, exercise. If so, experts believe
you may be better off than people who have had plastic surgery. If you are dieting, make sure you pay
attention to what you are eating and eat nutritious foods which include plenty of fruits and vegetables.
As our bodies age it is important to ensure that we are getting the proper amounts of vitamins and
minerals to maintain a healthy diet. Some vitamins are more critical than others. Make sure you eat
plenty of foods that are rich in Vitamin B such as fish, poultry, leafy green vegetables, eggs, beans and
peas. This will help with preventing memory loss and will also lower your chances of getting cardiac
disease.
