Aging Skin Treatment Tips

You want to eradicate sun spots, sagging skin, and zap away those wrinkles. I have found that reducing the effects of aging is easy in a few simple steps.  By following these tips you too can acquire and maintain youthful, vibrant and healthy skin.

Use creams, lotions and moisturizers that only contain natural ingredients.

• Protect Yourself

The sun’s damaging UVB rays decrease the skin’s ability to repair itself.  Use sunscreens and moisturizers on your skin at all times with an SPF of 30 or above. Reducing your skin’s exposure to sun is one of the most crucial things you can do to minimize aging and turn back the clock. 

• Don’t Light Up

Smoking is the most damaging thing you can do for your skin. It causes premature wrinkles by destroying the collagen in your skin. Collagen is what gives your skin its elasticity.  Smoking also reduces your skin’s ability to absorb vital nutrients by restricting blood flow through the capillaries. 

No anti aging skin care products can damper the effects of smoking to the skin. The good news is that damage done to your skin by smoking is reversible once you quit smoking.  Aging caused by smoking can generally be restored in a few years.

• Be Choosy

 Use creams, lotions and moisturizers that only contain natural ingredients.  Preservatives, fragrances and coloring can be harmful to your skin by causing rashes, irritations and sometimes even promote cancer growth.  Also, avoid products containing alcohol as it severely dries out your skin and damages its blood vessels.

• Eat Right

A diet full of fruits and green vegetables provides your skin with needed omega 3, natural acids, vitamin A, vitamin C and antioxidant properties that reduce free radical production in your skin. Free radicals are destructive molecules in your skin that promote aging.

• H2O is Good you Know

Drinking 8 glasses of water a day can keep your skin young and healthy looking. Hydration is a skin’s ticket to a soft, youthful glow.

• Bring up a Sweat

Exercise improves blood circulation in your skin which gives it a youthful glow. Sweating also removes toxic substances from the skin that otherwise cause blemishes and toughness.

• Catch your Z’s

 Getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night helps your body properly repair your skin, leaving it rejuvenated and refreshed looking.
