1. Sun Protection
More than anything else, sun protection will help to prevent the
aging of your skin, The sun is largely responsible for
wrinkling, blotchy pig entation (Lentigines, also called "liver
spots"), thinning of the skin, broken blood vessels
(telangectasias), dryness, texture changes, uneven color and
some sun related skin diseases that make the skin look older.
Daily use of sunscreen products with at least an SPF of 15 along
with protective clothing such as full-brimmed hats, long sleeved
blouses and shirts, and slacks instead of shorts will greatly
reduce the aging of the skin and the possibility of skin cancer.
Sunglasses will also protect the eyelids from aging and will
help reduce crows feet by reducing the squinting which comes
from sun exposure without eye protection.
2. Avoid Smoking
Melasma has been considered to arise from pregnancy, oral
contraceptives, endocrine dysfunction, genetic factors,
medications, nutritional deficiency, hepatic dysfunction, and
other factors. The majority of cases appear related to pregnancy
or oral contraceptives. The infrequency of melasma in
postmenopausal women on estrogen replacement suggests that
estrogen alone is not the cause. In more recent experience,
combination treatment using estrogen plus progestational agents
is being used in postmenopausal women, and melasma is being
observed in some of these older women who did not have melasma
during their pregnancies. Sun exposure would appear to be a
stimulating factor in predisposed individuals. Although a few
cases within families have been describe, melasma should not be
considered a heritable disorder.
3. Fitness
With age, extra weight can accumulate in areas under the chin,
the neck or cheeks, giving the skin an older look. Other areas
of skin such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and calves look
older if they are carrying excess fat. A combination of balanced
nutrition and exercise can greatly improve the appearance of the
skin. Drinking enough water is also important. Improved muscle
tone and improved circulation also help to keep that younger
looking skin we would all like to maintain. Some excess fat can
be removed by liposuction; however, it is much better not to
accumulate that excess weight in the first place.
4. Smile!
Your face tends to conform to the position or expression that
you carry most of the time. If you often frown or scowl you skin
is more likely to develop lines or wrinkles between the eyes,
down turning lines at the corners of the mouth, or other lines
or furrows that conform to the frowning facial expression. a
smiling, pleasant, relaxed expression is goof for your face and
will help keep you looking younger.
5. Sleeping Positions
Sleeping on your face can cause sleep wrinkles. Sleeping in the
same position most of the night for years can permanently crease
your skin. With a small pillow under the lumbar (lower) spine,
it is possible to sleep on your back comfortably without causing
wrinkles on your face.
6. Skin Care
Consistent skin care is important in maintaining younger looking
skin. In recent years, several products appear to cause an
improvement in aged skin. Although Retin-A
