Anti-Aging Skin Care Guide By ElmerFizz

Are you losing the 'flush of youth'? There are many attacks on
our skin every day; sun, wind, lack of proper hydration or care.
Fairly soon you will look in the mirror and wonder when your
skin started to look so dull or wrinkles started to appear.
As with most things in life, prevention is better than a cure.
However, for those who have not had eight hours sleep every
night, moisturized regularly, stayed out of the sun and never
touched alcohol what is needed is to reduce further aging and
regain a more vibrant appearance. Where to start?
SUNSCREEN
Whether you're 18 or 58 it is vital for women to protect their
skin from the damage of the sun. While the dangers were not as
well known years ago (or so severe) it now the responsibility of
everyone to safeguard the sensitive skin on their face from the
harsh damage caused by the UV rays from the sun.
Your skin is exposed to the sun no matter what the weather so
use a moisturizer or foundation with a sunscreen that has an SPF
of 15 or higher every day. UVA and UVB rays contribute to
wrinkles and burns not to mention the possibility of skin
cancer.
MOISTURIZER
As skin ages it tends to become drier. Dry skin will show more
wrinkles than well hydrated skin. Moisturizers create a barrier
that keeps the skin from losing essential water.
The moisturizers available today are far more luxurious than the
cold creams of yesterday. Starting a moisturizing routine will
help your skin retain hydration which contributes to a supple
texture reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Moisturizers also prepare the skin for the application of makeup
which will apply smoother and create a fine finish without
cracking or flaking.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Pollution in the air and chemicals in our food release free
radicals into our bodies. Free radicals break down the collagen
and elastin in your skin which leads to wrinkles and sagging.
Using antioxidants in your facial products or in supplements
will protect the collagen and elastin which keeps skin firm and
supple.
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids)
AHA comes in many forms, from store bought creams to
dermatologist applied formulations. The AHA sloughs off skin in
what is commonly called a 'peel'. A mild formula used at home
can treat fine lines while harsher peels can be performed during
a short office visit.
NUTRITION and HYDRATION
As many people are aware, what goes inside will show on the
outside. The best prevention from aging skin is to provide your
body with a proper diet of healthy fresh foods as well as
sufficient hydration. Alcohol and caffeine cause dehydration and
should be limited.
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will improve the
texture of your skin and fight dry skin. Healthy foods can
provide the vitamin C and E that are so rich in antioxidants.
Add to this a good nights sleep and the steps noted above and
you are on your way to getting the fresh, vibrant skin you
desire!
