Now with today’s scientific breakthroughs and
discoveries you can defy the signs of aging and
look great at any age. Whether you want to
correct years of sun damage or you want to
prevent wrinkles before they start these seven
age defying techniques will give you the ability
to stop the aging process dead in it’s tracks,
protect and repair your skin and promote younger
healthier skin.
Avoid Direct Sunlight – Research indicates that
about 90% of skin changes that begin in your
30’s and 40’s stem directly from the cumulative
effects of exposure to the sun’s UV radiation.
Prolong exposure to the sun at any age can
increase your risk of skin cancer. To protect
your skin from sun damage , avoid prolong
exposure to the sun between 10 a.m. and 3p.m.
when UV rays are the strongest , apply a
sunscreen with a SPF 30 or above on all expose
skin 20 minutes before going outdoors even if it
is a overcast day. UV rays can penetrate clouds
and harm unprotected skin.
Don’t Smoke – Smoking ages the appearance of
your skin and cause premature wrinkles. The
chemicals inhaled from cigarette smoke constrict
tiny blood vessels in the skin, reducing the
oxygen and nutrient supply to delicate facial
tissues. Blood vessel constriction lasts at
least an hour after a cigarette has been
extinguished.
Nourish Your Skin From The Inside – Drink 8
glasses of water a day. Eat a balance healthy
diet. Take antioxidants and vitamins such as
green tea, soy, vitamins A, B, C and E all of
which are excellent for creating healthy younger
skin.
Be Smart About Your Skin Care Products – There
truly are amazing skin care products on the
market today that can defy the signs of aging,
repair and protect your skin. However not all
skin care products are created equally. Did you
know that a vitamin C product that contains
concentrations of less then 5 % is ineffective,
or that a topical product that contains collagen
won’t increase the collagen in your skin because
it’s molecules are simply too large to penetrate
the skin. To receive the full benefits of
today’s technology and breakthroughs it is
essential to become a smart consumer and reach
the best products and the most beneficial
ingredients that are available.
Don’t Over Exfoliate – Exfoliation is one of the
best renewal processes for your skin. It helps
to shed the top layer of dead skin cells, unclog
pores, makes skin more receptive to moisturizer
and improves the look and feel of your skin.
However dermatologists’ caution that the over
use of exfoliating products can leave the skin
dry, red, irritated and more vulnerable to sun
damage. You should not use exfoliating products
such as AHA products, micro-dermabrasion
treatments or facial scrubs more then twice a
week.
Before Going To Bed Use An Antioxidant & Vitamin
Enriched Moisturizer – Research has confirmed
that our skin’s ability to absorb active
ingredients from skin care products is greatest
at night. This makes bed time the best time to
topical nourish your skin with antioxidants and
vitamins.
Use Cosmetics Fortified With Vitamins &
Antioxidants – Cosmetics formulated with
vitamins and antioxidants have been found to
have therapeutic benefits for your skin and to
aid in the promotion healthier skin.
