Anti Aging – Anti Aging Skin Care

We all want clear, radiant, perfect skin free from blemishes and wrinkles, but a few bad habits can have devastating effects leaving your skin dry, wrinkled, unclear and damaged.

Taking care your skin is simple. Think of your skin as a reflection of your inner health and remember that your skin is an important cleansing organ that removes toxins that your colon, kidneys and liver couldn’t remove. If you’re having problems with your skin, there may be an underlying cause internally so it is always recommended that you see your health practitioner regularly.

Here are the do’s and don’ts of great skin care. These skin care tips are for everyone, any age, male or female. Follow them for healthy and radiant skin.

First you must stop doing things that damage your skin:

• Stop going out in strong sun without sunscreen. The sun can damage your skin so always use sunscreen. It is remarkable how many people still sit in the sun unprotected. This ages your skin prematurely. If you want youthful skin come into the shade.
• Stop smoking. Smoking is not only bad for your lungs, it also causes your skin to age prematurely and nicotine decreases circulation causing skin to dry out and sag.
• Stop excessively drinking. Drinking alcohol can dehydrate the skin making it look dull and tired. Excessive alcohol can damage the liver and give your skin a sallow appearance.
• Stop going to bed without washing your face. Who hasn’t done this after a late night? Removing all make-up and the grime that has collected on your skin throughout the day is essential for beautiful skin.

Here is what you can do to promote healthy skin from the inside out and reduce damage caused by environmental pollutants, the sun and stress:

• Eat whole foods. Cut out all the junk food and eat a sensible well balanced diet.
• Stay hydrated, drink plenty of water.
• Take antioxidants (vitamins) orally.
• Clean and moisturize your skin with gentle products that contain anti-oxidants.
• Cleanse your system: herbal colon cleanses can help clear your skin.
• Reduce stress. Stress is a factor in a wide range of skin problems such as acne, eczema, rosacea and psoriasis. Take steps to reduce stress like exercise or meditate. Do what works for you.
• Beauty rest! Get to bed early and get enough sleep.
• Enjoy yourself. Laughing is the best facial exercise and a great stress reliever!
