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.
