Maintaining Youthful Skin
There are a variety of ways to help you maintain a more youthful
appearance. In the area of skin aging there is some useful
information available on the internet, however there is also a vast
amount of unproven and possibly unsafe treatments and product claims
advertised. Many 'natural' remedies can still cause harm. Consider
consulting your doctor or dermatologist before taking any new
medication or buying an expensive product for skin rejuvenation
(reversal skin aging). Aging brings with it the realization that
their skin will no longer have that youthful appearance. Sun and
cigarettes in adolescence and early adulthood are also the culprits
behind age spots, broken blood vessels and irregular pigmentation by
the time you're in your 30s. Some things you can do to slow down the
aging skin. Use sunscreen every day Keep away from highly polluted
areas and don't smoke. Smoking changes the elasticity of the skin
fibers leading to rough and wrinkled skin. Drink plenty of water.
Your skin loses water during hot days and needs plenty of water to
keep hydrated. Water is found in raw fruits and vegetables. Minimize
drinking alcohol. Alcohol can lead to spider veins and broken
capillaries. It also causes your skin to become dehydrated.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Take an antioxidant supplement,
which should include up to 2000 mg of vitamin C. Retinoids (vitamin
A derivatives) help remove dead cells for smoother skin, stimulate
collagen production to ease wrinkles, and even out skin tone. Sodas,
sugar drinks, tea, (except herbal teas) coffee, or milk are not
water. Rotate between buying and drinking Reverse Osmosis and
Distilled water. Eating a healthy diet can also aid in the quest for
youthful skin. Many foods have essential nutrients and vitamins in
them that actually help your skin maintain a reasonable level of
moisture as well as making the skin stronger and more attractive in
appearance. Sun damage is cumulative--and that means every day's
rays do a little more harm.
Healthy and supple skin is not so much of a dream if you take proper
precautions and pay attention to your diet and exercise. Daily skin
and facial care is much more effective in making us look beautiful
than any cosmetics in the world. Cleansing is quite essential to
avoid acnes and other skin problems.
The damaging effects of the sun
The biggest key to retaining youthful skin is to keep it out of
direct sunlight as much as possible. The price for sun worshipping
isn't paid until years later, when wrinkled skin and liver spots
become visible.
Loss of smoothness on the skin's surface is only one consequence of
sun damage. Sunlight affects all the skin's layers. Overexposure to
it also produces wrinkling and sagging. Its damage is cumulative,
permanent, and progressive. As much as 80 percent of the visible
signs of aging are due to sun exposure.
If you must venture out into the sun (in any season), then avoid the
most sun-intense part of the day, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m; and please
don't forget your sunscreen and a broad-rimmed hat.
