You want the best for your body, yet the problems of aging have
had a negative effect on your skin and you’re beginning to look
older than you want to. Sure there are cosmetic procedures
available, but you’ve seen people who looked better before they
tried to improve their looks than they did after. Surely, there must
be a way to have a more natural look than you would get with a Botox
treatment. Then a friend tells you that your anti aging success
depends on your lifestyle. You start asking questions:
1. What does diet have to do with anything?
Healthy, young looking skin depends on a healthy body. If you eat
mainly junk food and neglect fruit and vegetables, your skin will
suffer. High fat and high sugar foods can’t give your skin the
nutrients it needs to stay firm and moist. Take the advice you gave
your children and trade that cookie for an apple. It’s also
important to drink plenty of water to rehydrate your skin.
2. Does it matter if I smoke?
For the answer to that question, take a little survey of all your
smoking and non-smoking friends. You will find that the majority of
non-smokers look much younger than do smokers of the same age. So,
if you don’t mind looking a lot older than you are, go ahead and
light up.
3. I get outdoor exercise every day, but my skin still looks bad.
Well, what time of the day do you exercise and is your skin
covered? Too much sun can make the softest skin tough and leathery.
It’s extremely important to exercise daily, especially as we age.
But since the sun’s rays are so strong, caution is advised. It’s
best to exercise outside either early in the morning or late
afternoon or evening. Always wear a hat and sunglasses whenever
venturing into the sun to protect your skin from its rays.
4. How do I use a wrinkle cream and why should I?
Use a good anti aging moisturizer every morning and evening as
part of your daily routine. Regular treatment supplies all the
vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients that your skin needs to stay
soft and smooth. Place just a small amount in the palm of your hand
and rub it in an upward motion unto your face, avoiding contact with
your eyes.
It doesn’t take much to have a healthy lifestyle and will reap
large rewards. You may me getting older, but your beautiful skin
will never give away its age.
