Fight Wrinkles - Six Tips for Younger Looking Skin

by Sally Valentine

Apply these few simple anti aging tips to your skincare regime. They'll help keep your skin wrinkle free and youthful for years to come.
Wrinkle Fighting Tip Number 1 - Exfoliate!

When you don't exfoliate regularly, a layer of dead skin cells builds up over your living, youthful skin cells. This hides the best-looking part of your skin and can cause a dry, scaly appearance as well as rashes and itching. So treat your skin to an exfoliating treatment at least once a day. You can scrub with a loofah or other rough sponge, either with or without specially formulating exfoliating compounds. Or invest in one of the new sonic exfoliating machines. They can give you a spa-level treatment every day.

Wrinkle Fighting Tip Number 2 - Eat Right!

Eating the right foods helps your body to keep your skin young and healthy. Be sure to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. They contain vital antioxidant compounds that help your skin fight off the aging influences in the environment. Aim for a minimum of five daily servings of fresh fruits and vegetables. Also consider taking a daily multivitamin for extra protection. And drink a cup or two of green tea every day. It contains antioxidant and anti aging compounds not found in most other sources.

Wrinkle Fighting Tip Number 3 - Wash Before Bed!

When you leave your makeup on overnight, you're asking for skin problems. Don't. It can clog your pores, leading to inflammation and blemishes. Your skin needs to breathe and to recover from the burden of being coated with makeup all day. Use a cleanser formulated for removing makeup. Or here's a great idea. Plan your exfoliating treatment (tip number 1) as part of your night-time routine. Your skin will thank you.

Wrinkle Fighting Tip Number 4 - Drink Water!

To keep your skin looking its best, you have to keep your body well hydrated. Did you know that most of us are partially dehydrated at any given time? Yes, it's because we don't drink enough water. Try for at least six glasses per day, more if you exercise regularly. Coffee and tea don't count because they actually are dehydrating. So are diet drinks with articifial sweeteners. Plain water is the best.

Wrinkle Fighting Tip Number 5 - Sleep Well!

Sometimes lack of sleep is obvious on our faces, like when you get those dark circles under your eyes. But the long-term effects of insufficient sleep are not so obvious. Most of us are chronically stressed and chronically short of sleep. If you're not getting eight hours sleep or more each night, you are short of sleep and you're depriving your skin of recovery time that it needs every day to stay youthful.

Wrinkle Fighting Tip Number 6 - Use a Good Wrinkle Cream!

Use a good anti aging wrinkle cream as your strongest defense against aging skin. Choose one product line and stick to it, as the effects of switching may irritate your skin. Medical science has recently discovered amazingly effective ingredients that can fight the aging process in your skin. Look for wrinkle cream products that contain advanced antioxidants such as Idebenone, D3PA, and Ascorbyl Palmitate. Also look for the firming ingredient Deanol. And some wrinkle cream manufacturers have introduced a safe, effective Botox alternative that doesn't require injections, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3.

Use these six tips regularly and you're sure to find your skin looking younger and staying younger.

Reasons for using eye creams

2008-01-23T07:18:00.000-08:00

by Robert Baird

The eyes are one off the most significant organs of the body and they are also one among the sense organs. The eyes are responsible for providing human beings with the power to see and it is because of these pair of eyes that a human being is able to perceive the beauty of nature and its magnificence is all its colors. Therefore it is evident that the eyes are one of the most vital organs of the body and it is necessary to note here that since these are located on the external part of the body, they always run the risk of being injured or harmed easily. Therefore it is extremely important to ensure that the eyes and their adjoining areas are significantly protected.

It has been noticed, that dark circles, wrinkles and eye bags are some of the prevalent problems that most women post their twenties face. The increased stress factors that affect contemporary life takes its toll on the skin and the worst affected are the skin areas surrounding the eyes. Moreover, the skin around the eyes is very thin and do not possess any protective sheath like fats or oil glands. With the increase of age, elastin and collagen which are responsible for maintaining the tightness of the skin usually weaken in functioning thus leading to the formation of wrinkles.

Therefore under such condition, eye creams are considered at present to be the most viable option. It is advised by responsible medical practitioners nowadays that women can begin using the eye creams as early as in their early twenties to prevent early aging of the skin and premature wrinkle formation. The various eye creams that are available are made up of components which contain extra moisturizing properties and give protection to the skin around the eye and they also strengthen and support the various blood vessels that constitute the skin around the eye produce new cells.

In this way not only do these eye creams help in protecting the skin around the eye and provide moisture but at the same time it is also instrumental in removing dark circles, eye bags or puffiness around the eye and wrinkles. The most important component in most eye creams is known as Alpha Hydroxy Acid which facilitates the production of new cells removing the dead cells within the skin. Eye creams also aid in filing the skin with vitamin A and D which are lost by the skin due to exposure to the sun.

What Can I Do About My Wrinkles?

2008-01-19T21:31:00.000-08:00

Q: Although I'm a vegetarian, I'm on statin drugs because I had a very high cholesterol level. When I started a year ago, my face was totally unlined. Now my cholesterol level is right down but my cheeks have lost their fullness and wrinkles have set in. Do statins affect collagen? And is there anything you can suggest?

A: Fats are essential for our bodies. They provide us with an energy source, form the raw material for hormones, constitute cell membrane, act as insulation against heat loss, give contours, protect heart, kidneys, intestines and other organs from physical shock, and help to 'fix' organs in the chest and abdomen. Fats dissolve fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, which are important for keeping the skin firm and for lubricating joints; fats are also essential for eyesight, to fortify bones, regulate hormones and control the blood clotting system. So they're not all bad!

Cholesterol is an important fat: it is needed for cell growth and cellular division, and the maintenance of cell membrane. It's involved in the functioning of oestrogen, testosterone, the corticosteroid hormones produced by the adrenal glands, and cortisol, which controls calcium absorption.

Cholesterol is also important for the digestive process, as bile salts are derived from it.

Cholesterol is either absorbed from your diet (particularly egg yolks, cream and meat) or synthesised by the liver. Usually genetic factors keep cholesterol within acceptable bounds. So if you have a high cholesterol level, controlling your dietary sources may not be enough to lower it.

Because high cholesterol levels lead to an increased risk of heart and/or vascular disease, doctors prescribed statins to reduce them. Statins have many side effects, from tingling in the body to skin sagging problems, as in your case. They don't affect collagen but I think your problem is due to the drugs. Cholesterol is vital for sealing moisture into the skin and the elasticity of skin depends on it. The fat layer under the skin makes the surface smooth; the drugs have flushed that out, so wrinkles have appeared.

Vegetarians are often deficient in the fat-soluble vitamins I've listed above.

Vitamin E particularly helps skin texture and the lack of it can contribute to wrinkling.

Now that your cholesterol level is down, I suggest you ask your doctor if it's possible to reduce your dosage of statins. He or she may agree if you undertake to do everything you can to control your cholesterol level naturally. (Always let your doctor know about other measures that you are taking.) . Eat lots of fresh non-citrus fruit and vegetables, oats and garlic; drink fresh pomegranate juice and make a daily infusion of one teaspoonful of fenugreek seeds in a mug of boiling water, leave to soak for ten minutes or more, then strain and drink.

. Exclude fried food, peanut butter, nuts and seeds, avocado, crisps, cakes, biscuits, coconut milk and (for non-vegetarians) cream, ice cream, cheese, butter, curries.

. Don't snack on oily, fatty and/or processed foods. Take care to make energising, balanced meals. If you can include grilled fish and chicken, it will help you not to snack.

. If you eat bread, oatcakes, rice cakes or crispbread, top them with a little manuka honey or pure fruit preserves instead of butter or cheese.

. You must get out every day for at least 30 to 60 minutes in the fresh air, and do moderate exercise you enjoy. Yoga is always helpful: I recommend therapeutic Iyengar yoga.

. Take Bioenergy (Biotique, Pounds 12 for 120 tablets) or Ashwagandha (Himalaya, Pounds 10 for 60 capsules): one twice daily, to help keep cholesterol levels balanced, especially if you are trying to come off the statins.

Here are my suggestions Diet Supplements For your skin . In the morning, massage Saffron Dew Youth Cream (Biotique, Pounds 8 for 65g) upwards into the skin. Massage for five minutes each day for a month, then twice a week until the skin texture improves.

. At bedtime, massage pure almond oil into your face for five minutes. Wipe any excess away using a towel dipped into hot water with a few drops of fresh lime in it.

. Buy an aloe vera plant and cut off a quarter-inch piece of the leaf, then squeeze out the sticky juice and apply it to your skin. This is the best treatment you can put on your face, either to tone and moisturise or to treat acne, eczema or any skin rash.

Exercise . Take aloe vera capsules (Vega, Pounds 7 for 60): one twice daily for three months.

Beauty tips for pregnant moms-to-be. How to be pregnant and beautiful.

2008-01-11T05:43:00.000-08:00

by Beverly Johnson

Pregnancy can be an exciting time of wonder and discovery.
Your body starts doing all sorts of amazing things, like growing long beautiful nails and luxurious hair (a by-product of hormones and prenatal vitamins.)

And, along with a rapidly expanding waist line, comes new skin care challenges and concerns, like dark spots, blotchy skin and pimples, and serious concerns about the safety of certain beauty procedures.

Before you head back to your salon for a root touch up or to your local spa to enjoy another pampering day of beauty, you'll want to read our quick run down on safety issues involved in taking care of your skin while pregnant.

(You should always consult your obstetrician or primary care physician for their opinion, before undergoing any type of beauty care or dental procedure during your pregnancy.)

1.) Hair dye, or root touch up:

If you are planning to get pregnant, you may be able to spare yourself some of the approaching hair care angst and controversy by having it dyed back to its natural color. That way roots won't show at all.

While some doctor's worry that the chemicals contained in the dye solution may enter the blood stream through the scalp, most consider highlights to be alright.

Either way, go for a vegetable based dye solution that will contain fewer harsh chemicals, and work in a well ventilated area.

Are wrinkle creams safe during pregnancy?

Some recent studies have linked use of Retin A or Retinol (vitamin A) based products with abnormalities in the unborn baby.

Instead, opt for skin creams, that employ Alpha Hydroxy acids (AHA), Vitamin C or E, to soften fine lines, and retexturize skin.

What can I do to make sure that I don't get stretch marks?

The more weight you gain, especially in the stomach area, the more your skin will have to stretch.

If skin stretches beyond its capacity, you will begin to see tiny pinkish or purple stretch marks.

Talk to your ob/gyn about the maximum weight you should gain for your unborn baby's health and try to stay within that limit.

Like taxxes, stretch marks may be unavoidable.

However you can minimize their appearance with daily applications of cocoa butter creams.

Until then, you may find that these marks (which usually fade in time) are easily covered by Derma-blend (or other body make up) or sunless tanner.

Should I polish my nails or go natural?

It may be ok to indulge in the occasional nail touch up, since only tiny amounts of formaldehyde and other otherwise toxic chemicals are absorbed by the body through the nail bed during the manicure process.

This makes manicures and pedicures a safe bet for most pregnant moms.

For extra sanitary measures, provide your own bottle of nail color (that noone else has had access to) and make sure that your nail tech uses steralized or disposable nail care implements.

What about massages? Are they safe, during pregnancy?

Taking time out for a much needed neck or back massage may be an essential beauty luxury during the pregnancy months, considering that it can help relieve tension, stress and pains associated with pregnancy.

Just be sure to tell your massage therapist that you are pregnant so she can make accomodations for your growing belly.

It's generally advisable to avoid deep tissue massage, shiatsu and reflexology/accupressure type massages or anything that focuses on applying pressure to the abdomen, though, as they may interfere with the unborn baby's development.

What about facials and other luxury spa treatments?

Mild exfoliating, non-chemical facials and pore treatments are considered safe.

However, you'll want to avoid body wraps, steam room sauna's, immersing yourself in warm mud bath, or any treatment that might raise your body's temperature, and cause harm to your baby.

Can I use a lightening cream to get rid of my Malasma and dark spots?

Pregnancy hormones may cause your skin to darken or tan in some areas, producing a spotty effect. This condition is known as Melasma and usually goes away shortly after giving birth.

You may find that you can simply hide dark patches with foundation or concealer, without exposing your baby to any risk, at all.

Some old wives tales suggest that lemons (which contain vitamin C and ascorbic acid, a natural skin peel) and buttermilk may help lighten skin naturally.

Treatment options will increase once your baby is born and the dark spots begin to fade on their own.

Pimples and pregnancy.

Some pregnant women complain that they experience more acne like symptons, including pimples.

Changes in hormones may cause oil glands (sebaceous glands) to go into overdrive and produce excess oils.

This can lead to clogged pores and severe break outs on face, shoulders, back and everywhere in between.

While there is no real oily skin cure, you will find some relief by adopting a regular daily cleansing and toning routine.

Cetaphil or other mild facial cleanser will remove excess oils without causing irritations.

Avoid heavy moisturizers that only add to the problem.

Remove gym clothes immediately after working out, and shower as soon as possible, to keep sweat and dirt from getting into your skin.

Help for extra dry skin during pregnancy.

If your skin or lips become overly parched or dried during pregnancy, it may be a sign that you are not getting enough water during the day.

Dry skin wrinkles easily, so you'll want to handle the problem quickly.

You can get instant relief from Sahara dry skin with rich emollient moisturizers like Shea Body Butters.

Use a loofah or exfoliating body puff to remove dry flaky skin cells.

And, apply baby oil or body lotion to your skin immediately after stepping out of the shower, but before you dry off.

More than anyone else, Moms, and moms to be deserve to be pampered and primped, too!

After you become a new mom you'll find that your skin undergoes even more drastic changes.

Late nights spent with a crying baby, lack of sleep, and changes in hormones may leave your skin looking lifeless and dull.

While it will be tempting to ignore your own personal beauty care needs, during and after pregnancy, you'll find that you have a fresher more revived outlook on life and motherhood when you simply take a few moments to indulge your inner beauty diva daily.

The consistant use of quality hydrating creams or lotions can do wonders when preventing eye wrinkles, . The most effective lotions or creams contain AHAs, technically known as alpha-hydroxy acids.

Lost and Found: The Miracle of Facial Rejuvenation

2008-01-01T09:37:00.000-08:00

by Suzanne Macguire

What made the jealous step mother of Snow White resort to evil ways? It was the desire to look beautiful! Times have changed but the basic instinct of women to look desirable and attractive have remained the same. Fortunately, unlike the jealous mother of the fairy tale, we do not have to resort to such dreadful ways to look fair. Big dark eyes, high cheek bones, glowing skin, pouting lips, shining teeth- if you are lucky enough to possess these features, no wonder you are beautiful! But the growing effects of age slowly deprive you of your beauty, making you appear older and less attractive.

Research suggests that women above 27 years of age are distressed by the ill-effects of ageing- wrinkles under the eyes, lusterless cheeks, excessive pigmentation, dry and saggy skin, and much more. Thanks to the latest developments in the field of medical science, there is now a possibility of overcoming every hurdle on your way to regain your flawless striking beauty that once captured the attention of millions!

No magic potion but facial rejuvenation or a cosmetic procedure is the solution to your age-affected facial appearance. For clarification, facial rejuvenation refers to a set of surgical procedures aimed at restoring facial geometry and skin appearance which are enjoyed by the young, by using a combination of brow lift, elimination of eye bags, eyelids lift, elimination of senile spots, skin aging, facial sagging and wrinkles. This is achieved through a face lift and rhytidectomy and physical or chemical peeling, chin lift (reduction of double chin), restoration of facial hairline, etc. These are some of the basic procedures to restore the lost glow of your skin and gradually help you regain your beautiful self.

The decaying effect of age becomes evident with the facial muscles losing their elasticity and the loss of bone tissues around the mid-face area and lower orbits of the nose. Fine lines appear below the eyes and the skin begins to sag. The effect of age is noticeable earlier in women than in men which accounts for the greater percentage of women taking recourse to facial rejuvenation than men.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 114,000 facelifts and nearly 55,000 forehead lifts were performed in the USA in 2004, the majority on women. This comes as no surprise as women are more conscious of their appearance and desire to be admired throughout their lives. However, current trends now suggest the increasing consciousness of good looks in men too. One of the possible reasons for this trend is the contribution of mass media and fashion. Besides, increasing affluence and good health of a majority of the population at older ages, and decreasing cost of surgery have made it possible for more and more people to opt for facial rejuvenation.

There are several procedures associated with facial rejuvenation- plastic surgery, blackhead removal, dentistry, wrinkle treatment, to name a few. Each treatment will be selected based on the needs of the clients. Besides, common skin problems like acne, pigmentation, excessive facial hair, acne scar, and rosacea are taken care of with full effect. All you need is to approach an established medical organisation for your cosmetic treatment. Once the treatment is done accordingly, all skin related issues will undoubtedly improve. With facial rejuvenation, you can actually behold a miracle, where your old age takes a back seat and youthful beauty shines for the years to come!

Want To Reverse Wrinkles? Then Use These Top 6 Sun Protection Tips

2007-12-27T21:11:00.000-08:00

by Marcus Ryan

Want to look years younger than your age? Then you've got to now how to properly protect yourself from the sun. There are specific tips to prevent solar skin damage, and when you know them, you've got an unfair advantage when it comes to looking younger.
The cardinal rule for avoiding damage to your skin from sun exposure, regardless of your age, is to simply protect yourself in every way possible from the sun's ultraviolet rays. The best way to do that is, of course, to simply stay out of the sun, but that's not always an option. So you should safeguard your skin with a sunscreen of the appropriate strength, and with protective apparel.

The sun's ultraviolet rays are one of the biggest factors in causing skin to age prematurely, and in the occurrence of skin cancer. But you can drastically reduce the chances of either, if you simply follow a few suggestions which will keep you skin looking young.

Many people spend too much time in the sun without taking proper precautionary measures, under the mistaken impression that using a good wrinkle cream will let them atone for their mistakes. But wrinkle creams can only do so much, and will have as much as they can handle taking care of your existing signs of aging without your bringing new ones on board every time you leave the house in daylight.

What do you need to do to keep the sun from ruining your skin?

Step 1

The biggest step you can take toward a wrinkle free skin is to stay out of the sunlight during its peak hours, between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. It's a far more effective way to save your skin by arranging your schedule so that your outdoor time is earlier or later in the day, than to slap on a sunscreen and hope for the best.

Step 2

If you do have to spend time in the sun, the second suggestion which you should heed is to wear a hat. And forget about looking cool by grabbing a baseball cap and turning it backwards, where its bill does absolutely nothing to shield your face. Even if you cringe at the sight of hats, wear a hat.

And make sure that the hat you choose has a brim wide enough to shade you entire face--forehead, nose, cheeks, chin, and neck. A wide brimmed gardening hat or beach hat; a cowboy hat; or a panama is all designed to protect their wearers from the sun.

Step 3

Third, don't stop with the hat. You need to wear clothes which will provide sun protection; most dry clothiers have an SPF rating of from 6 to 15, but that can drop below 5 if they become wet. If you're someone whose work or outdoor activities force you to be out in the heat of the day, you can find apparel from manufacturers like Solumbra and Solarweave with an SPF rating of 30 and up.

The minimum you should do is wear a long sleeved shirt and long pants whenever you are out in the sun.

Step 4

Finally, there are sunscreens, but they will protect you adequately only if you understand what kinds to get, and how and when to apply them. You need a sunscreen which will block both UVA and UVB rays, and you will have to apply it thickly enough to get the full benefit of its SPF rating.

Research has shown that most people use a layer of sunscreen only 20% as thick as it should be to provide maximum protection. So even if you hate the greasy feel and strong scent of sunscreen, you will have to slather it on.

Step 5

And when you use your sunscreen is as important as how much of it you use. Studies from the UK indicate that sunscreen should first be applied between fifteen and thirty minutes before you go outside, and again fifteen to thirty minutes after. You should also reapply it after swimming, toweling off, or participating in any activities which cause heavy perspiration.

Step 6

But the easiest, and most effective, way for you to prevent the sun from damaging your skin is to prevent the sun's rays from coming anywhere near it. If you must venture out when the sun is at its peak, cover yourself with sunscreen and appropriate clothing, and top off your ensemble with a broad-brimmed hat.

An ounce of prevention, as they say, is worth a pound of (wrinkle cream) cure, and with the best wrinkle creams being quite expensive, you can save your money as well as your skin by preventing sun damage.

Now you know what to do, so why not take the time to find the hat and sunscreen which will let you put your anti-sun aging plans to work?

Wrinkles - The Cure For Wrinkles Is In The Cause

2007-12-17T23:47:00.001-08:00

Submitted By: Kacy Carr

For some women the sheer thought of wrinkles appearing on the face can have a devastating impact on how that particular woman copes with one of natures natural happenings as we age. Not wanting to burst your bubble ladies but if there was a cure for removing wrinkles permanently then why are those women with more money than sense still in possession of wrinkly skin. However, for the women who live in fear of fine lines and wrinkles there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Some wrinkle remedy advertisers - not only mislead women into believing miracles cures do exist but have the audacity to charge for their false information and failing promises of a cure which in the long run can be expensive leaving you out of pocket and a face full of creases.

Wrinkles are imminent and come to us all in due course, however there are positive ways you can sanction in slowing down wrinkles and fine lines appearing before their natural time. Causes directed towards premature aging of the skin are over exposure to the suns harmful UV rays and smoking. Avoiding causes will certainly help prevent early aging signs along with giving you a healthier outlook on life.

As the years creep up the skin creeps down, meaning the chin. This part of the face is more prone in developing wrinkly sagging skin or droopy flesh around the neck

Every part of the body skin ages in time but more so if over exposed to the sun. Damage brought on by the suns ultra violet rays (photoaging) includes dryness, sagginess, skin growths like keratoses (liver spots) and wrinkles. Unprotected skin can result in a more severe health risk occurring to your well being if skin cancer is caught.

Wrinkles are more likely to appear before their time on parts of the body like the face, neck, back of the hands, and top of the forearms because these are body parts more times exposed to the sun.

Wrinkles come in two categories: fine surface lines and deep furrows. Some proposed wrinkle treatments in general are much more effective for fine lines. But for the less fortunate woman who chose to ignore the warning signs and now wears a mask of deep creases may need more aggressive treatment like having plastic surgery to smooth out her deep wrinkles.

Sometimes and more often than not the cure for fine lines and wrinkles is to stamp out the cause that encouraged them in the first place.

Remember, complexions differ, some skin type's burn quicker than others. People with light skin and fair hair are more prone to sun damage. Sadly some people inherit early wrinkling. Common sense prevails when under threat from the suns weapons of destruction i.e. skin cancer, sunburn and wrinkles. Protect your self with sunscreen, cover the head, take intervals when sunbathing and keep on topping up with the sun cream

SPF numbers on sunscreen labels refer to protection against UVB radiation (shortwave ultraviolet light, the "sunburn rays"). More and more sunscreens offer protection against UVA radiation (longer-wave ultraviolet light) as well. UVA rays are the ones you get in tanning salons; they may not cause immediate sunburn but do promote sun damage and skin cancer. Are you one of these people who believe have been lucky in the past i.e. avoiding sunburn wrinkles and that death sentence "skin cancer" then remember time will tell where the past may catch up with you.

The numbers are great in people being laid out on a mortuary slab after catching skin cancer where they need never worry over wrinkles again. Worry about wrinkles when you are live.

You may bet every coroner in the country wears a hat on their head and smothers them self from head to toe in sun protection when out in the mid day sun.

How to Choose a Beauty Skin Care Product

2007-12-13T21:47:00.000-08:00

by Luvi Marie

If you have ever set foot in the beauty aisle of a pharmacy or department store, you know that it can be quite difficult to choose a beauty skin care product from the many choices available. Some people may feel overwhelmed and default to just regular soap and water for their skin but you should really take the time to decide what you want to accomplish first and then narrow down your choices until you get to just one beauty skin care product or two.
Normal skin, oily skin, combination skin â€¦ you have to not only wade through the variety of skin creams, eye creams, body lotions, pore gels and more but you also have to find a beauty skin care product that fits your particular type of skin. No matter how you look at it, it can be mind-boggling so stick with three main things ï¿½" an exfoliating agent, sunscreen and a moisturizer and you should be fine.

Exfoliate

One particular beauty skin care product you need is an exfoliator which will help get rid of dead accumulating skin cells so that fresh new skin and shine through. By exfoliating, you are reducing your chances of forming black heads and white heads, two types of acne that can be unattractive.

Sun Protection

Your beauty skin care product, whether it is a moisturizing cream, eye gel, or liquid foundation should include some type of sun protection with at least an SPF of 30. The item you choose should protect you from UV and UVB rays so help prevent the development of skin cancer.

Moisturizer

A good moisturizer should be a beauty skin care product staple in your overall beauty regiment as it can slow down your skinâ€™s aging process. Moisturizer can be found in a variety of forms as well as being built in a variety of products. There are moisturizers for people with oily skin while there are also moisturizers for people who need to repair mild skin damage.

The best beauty skin care product around should be one that does double duty like a moisturizer and sun protective lotion all in one. As you age, little wrinkles start to form from sun exposure so by moisturizing using a beauty skin care product with a high SPF, you can help hydrate your skin while protecting it from potential cancer and age spots.

The bottom line is that the best beauty skin care product is the one that can do you the most good, whether it is diminishing fine lines and wrinkles or clearing up acne. It may take some trial and error as well as money, but once you find the right beauty skin care product for your needs, you have it made.

Ten Tips for Turning Back the Clock on Wrinkles

Wrinkles are caused by aging skin and the elements that our skin is exposed to day after day. Wrinkles are a usual part of aging as our skin becomes thinner. Sun exposure is another major cause of wrinkles and can cause premature aging not only to the face, but also to other undressed parts of the body. Also, repeated facial expressions such as frowning and squinting cause's lines and wrinkles on the face. Whatever causes your wrinkles, there are precautions you can take to prevent and treat wrinkles to turn back the clock and make your appearance younger looking.

Prevention is the key to myriad wrinkles, especially those due to sun exposure. It is estimated that the sun causes at least 90 percent of premature aging and wrinkles.

Many of these lines and wrinkles can be arrested. This means that daily use of sunscreen can hugely reduce the amount of wrinkles that appear over time. UV rays can hit your skin year round, even when it is cold. If you are concerned with wrinkles, you should always employ a good sunscreen daily all year long. You can also help cut down on sun exposure by wearing a hat that shades your face when you are working or spending time in the elements.

If you can cut down on the quantity of ultraviolet rays hitting your face, you can take a big step in preventing premature aging. Washing the face everyday will help stop wrinkles, too. It is cautioned that when you wash your face, you use warm tap water and do not scrub. Also, it is important to thoroughly remove all make up and use a light cleanser with added moisturizer.

When you are ready to dry your face, do not rub the cloth on your face. Instead, use soft patting motions to dry. Another step you can take to help prevent wrinkles is to eat right and drink plenty of water daily. Your body sweats a lot of water each day. When you hydrate your body from the inside, your skin will glean the benefits. Drinking the recommend daily measures of water helps your skin stay smooth and supple. Skin that is moist does not lose its elasticity as fast as dehydrated skin. Also, make sure you eat healthy and eat a wide variety of foods each day.

Whole grains, fruits and vegetables will help keep you healthy and your skin will benefit as well. Adding small amounts of healthy oils such as olive oil to your diet may also help your skin. In addition to obstructing wrinkles, there are steps you can take to help minimize the amount of wrinkles you may already have. One very common way is to use a daily moisturizer.

There are several types of moisturizers that actually helps hydrate the skin and leave the surface on your face looking smooth. This will help minimize existing wrinkles and may help hamper new wrinkles from forming in the long run. For more effect, use a moisturizer each night before bed and every morning before applying makeup. Many people with wrinkles opt to use under-the-eye lotions.

These salves are specifically made to help reduce the puffiness and dark circles that are often under the eye. Because the skin under the eyes is very translucent and does not produce oils as well as other parts of the face, wrinkles are frequent. Also, rubbing the eyes may cause wrinkles to form, so it is always best to apply eye moisturizer with very gentle dobbing motions. There are also many sorts of products that claim to help reduce or minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

These treatments can be bought over the counter or by prescription through a dermatologist. Many people believe these items work, so if you are looking to reduce the amount of wrinkles, check out some of those products. Another, more expensive alternative to deal with wrinkles is to visit a professional. Plastic surgeons see many patients wishing to look younger. Site injections such as Botox are becoming more popular as are face lifts. These solutions are not cheap, though. Be prepared to spend hundreds of dollars for surgical techniques to shed wrinkles. Botox injections are effective, but the results are not permanent.

Simple ways to avoid wrinkles

2007-11-20T21:22:00.000-08:00

by Janet Martin

Every year, Americans spend over $12 billion on cosmetics and another $20 billion on plastic surgery to hide the signs of aging. But the effects of most of these expensive creams and procedures are temporary and many have undesirable side effects.

While nothing can stop wrinkles that are a normal part of aging, you can slow down the process by following these simple measures. To preserve your youthful glow without emptying your wallet, here are some tips courtesy of Dermaxin, the safe and inexpensive alternative to costly cosmetic procedures:

Avoid the sun. The Earth's depleted ozone layer allows more of the sun's harmful rays to destroy your skin. If you don't want to look like a shriveled raisin or prune, stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. This is the time when 95 percent of the sun's wrinkling rays reach the Earth. Avoid reflective surfaces like water, snow, sand, concrete, and other light-colored areas that intensify the sun's rays.

Splurge on sunscreen. Don't be stingy when putting sunscreen on your skin. It's your best friend under the sun. But choose your friends carefully. Pick one with a high sun protection factor (SPF) that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Apply a generous amount 30 minutes before going out and reapply after swimming.

Accessorize. In addition to sunscreen, wear a wide-brimmed hat and a good pair of sunglasses. This will prevent your from squinting and getting crow's feet. The right clothes can also protect you from the sun.

"People should look for loosely-fitted, unbleached, tightly woven fabrics. The tighter the weave, the more protective the garment. Washing clothes over and over improves UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) by drawing fabrics together during shrinkage. An easy way to assess protection is simply to hold the garment up to a window or lamp and see how much light comes through. The less the better," according to TanSome.com.

Stop clowning around. Putting on a funny face can be good for a few laughs and will probably make you the life of the party. But repeated facial expressions like smiling, frowning, squinting or puckering your lips will give you more wrinkles and aggravate existing ones. Stop imitating Jim Carrey unless you're being paid good money to do so!

"How do you know if you're scrunching your face? Look at yourself in a mirror as you're chatting on the telephone. Or try wearing a piece of cellophane tape over your forehead (just around the house, of course). Every time you furrow your brow, you'll feel the tape start to crinkle," said the editors of "The Doctors Book of Home Remedies."

Maintain a healthy weight. Losing and gaining weight repeatedly stretches your skin. As you age, the skin becomes less elastic and fails to retract to its original size. This leads to wrinkles. Stop yo-yo dieting. Better still, keep off excess weight permanently with the right food and a good exercise program.

To keep your skin smooth, soft, and wrinkle-free, use Dermaxin, a safe and natural alternative to risky cosmetic procedures. Dermaxin rejuvenates and moisturizes the skin to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles to maximize your natural beauty. For details, go to http://www.dermaxin.com.

Anti-aging Skin Care For Avoiding Wrinkles

Skin care and beauty mavens have often told us to wash our face gently with mild cleansers and moisturize, moisturize and moisturize. Anti aging skin care can help you look younger. Aging is a syndrome of changes that are deleterious, progressive, universal and thus far irreversible. There are several key components to antiaging skin care in the effective prevention and treatment of fine lines, wrinkles and the loss of youthful glow.

Skin Care - Stop Aging : Reduce Wrinkles

2007-11-10T04:46:00.001-08:00

by Franchis Adam

While there is no magic way to stop aging, there are steps that will help slow down the aging process. Aging is a natural part of life and aging skin basically comes from the wear and tear the skin cells face on a daily basis. One way to stop aging it to use a good skincare routine. No product on the market will stop your skin from aging. On the other hand, some products are able to help repair your skin. Dermabrasion kits are one example of a treatment to help stop aging. These treatments will slough off old cells and leave fresh, new skin in its place.

Causes of Aging Skin

Research shows that there are, in fact, two distinct types of aging. Aging caused by the genes we inherit is called intrinsic (internal) aging. The other type of aging is known as extrinsic (external) aging and is caused by environmental factors, such as exposure to the sun's rays.

Though other skin care experts have identified free radicals and cellular inflammation as key triggers to the breakdown and aging of healthy skin, there is a way to prevent these culprits from developing in the first place-rather than just treating the unwelcome symptoms they've caused.

Based on the scientifically groundbreaking premise that cells-and consequently skin-function best when the pH level of the body is at its proper level by shifting the body's ratio of acids to alkalines, you can reverse skin cell aging to experience younger-looking skin and optimal vitality.

How Free Radicals Age You

Free radicals can form in each and every cell in your body. They feed off healthy cells and in doing so, they create more and more free radicals. As more and more free radicals are created, more and more damage is caused to your healthy cells. Free radicals can also attach and feed of healthy DNA components in your cells and they can do this many thousands of times each and every day. Over a period of time, you can see how damaging - and how aging - this continual process of feeding off cells to create more free radicals can be.

To shift this ratio, dermatologist and National Institutes of Health fellow Dr. Jeannette Graf recommends the following tips:

* Eat more alkalinizing foods. Most people tend to eat three acidic-building foods (such as sugar, refined carbs, meat and dairy) for every one alkalinizing food (dark-green leafy vegetables, garlic, onions, olive oil, lemon, fruit, nuts and seeds, and whole grains)-the reverse of the ideal ratio.

* Take quality calcium-mineral supplements.

* Add probiotic supplements (good bacteria in a bottle).

Diet and Health

* adequate fluid intake (6 to 8 glasses of water per day) is essential for hydrating skin, flushing out toxins from the body, and for anti-aging prevention * a diet with plenty of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, use of healthy oils such as olive oil or flax seed oil, and reduction of animal fats (saturated fats) helps protect the skin against oxidative stress * exercising regularly helps promote capillary functioning, brings oxygen to the skin which is important for healthy skin, and flushes out body toxins

Summary:

If you value your youthful looks and want to avoid wrinkling, protect yourself from the sun by putting on a sunscreen each morning of SPF 15 or higher. This is especially important if you are fair-skinned.

Cosmetics are a safe way to temporarily lubricate your skin and conceal blemishes and imperfections. Keep your cosmetic routine simple, and stick to a few products that agree with your skin. Don't get involved in elaborate routines with cleansers, astringents, "deep cleansing," night creams, skin tighteners, etc. Keep in mind that cosmetics only conceal, they don't heal.

Start a skin rejuvenation regimen of tretinoin and alpha hydroxyacid to reverse some of the changes of aging and to slow down the aging process.
