Anti-Aging
Skin Care
Don't you deserve to have the best
skin possible? Of course you do. I frequently have clients tell me...Barb, I
have spent many hours in the sun, is there anything the product line you
distribute do for me? My answer is...yes, there is a lot it will do for your
skin....but unfortunately, there is no product out there that can completely
erase the countless hours soaking in the sun without the SPF. But, with this
said...there are excellent preventative measures that you can take that will
help you slow down the aging process.
Below are some skin care and
rejuvenation tips to ensure that your skin remains healthy, vibrant, and
wrinkle-free for longer that will, without a doubt, slow down skin aging.
Our skin starts showing the signs of
aging even as early as our 20s. One can expect to start seeing fine lines,
uneven skin texture, and dullness. So truly, one needs to start taking care of
their skin from early on. You see, what is happening is our body's skin
cellular renewal process is beginning to slow down and what this means is that
the dead skin cells are as not as easily discarded, plus there are external
factors are starting to have a greater impact, leaving our skin slightly
duller.
Skin Care Tips For Your 20s
Avoid sunlight or
Cover-Up
Up to 80 percent of skin aging is
directly related to sun exposure. Penetrating UVA rays damage collagen fibers
and elastin coils in your skin.
If you are a Smoker - Quit- Quit
Now
Smoking inhibits oxygen from getting
to the outer layer of your skin, which causes premature aging. Additionally,
the motion of smoking over a long period of time can cause fine lines around
your mouth. This is not an appealing look!
Start a daily skin care
program
You should cleanse,
moisturize and use SPF or SPF equivalent on a daily basis. It is also
important to exfoliate 2-3 times a week to promote skin cellular renewal on a
regular basis.
Skin Care Tips For Your 30 -
And Beyond
By the time you reach your
30s, skin cell turnover has slowed down even more. Environmental factors
pollution, smoke, and sunlight are at this point causing damage so that in the
dermis, collagen fibers are beginning to loosen. This causes the skin to start
losing its tone and develop fine lines and wrinkles. When we smile,
subcutaneous fat forms ridges and refuse to bounce back as readily as it once
did. Our first wrinkles may start to appear. Here are some additional skin
care tips for keeping your skin healthy and slowing the aging process early:
Have a Daily Skin Care
Routine
At this stage in life, you
should have a daily skin care routine for your skin.
Skin Rejuvenation is
Essential
Incorporate a cosmeceutical
skin rejuvenation program into your daily skin care routine. What is key here
is that you need to use products that will help you skin increase it's
cellular renewal process, thereby getting rid of dead skin cells and promoting
skin rejuvenation.
A balanced Diet is Key
Your diet should consist of
fresh fruits, vegetables, grains and fish, as they are high in antioxidants
and Vitamins A, B, C, and E. These vitamins counteract free radicals which
help the skin repair itself and produce enzymes which stabilize collagen
production and retain the skin’s moisture content. I know, I know..these are
things our Mothers told tool and she was right!
Acohol Intake should be in
Moderation
Alcohol actually deprives
your skin of essential nutrients and may cause your facial blood vessels to
become dilated. This can lead to permanent red “spider veins” on women’s
cheeks and across the nose on men. Not a pretty site.
Remember to .... Hydrate!
Hydrate! Hydrate!
I can't emphasis this enough.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. This is the best way to retain the
skin’s water, thus keeping skin feeling soft and looking supple.
