The Top 7 Age Defying Beauty Secrets
by Eileen Hammel
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.
