The Best Anti-Aging Skin Care Tips

Added By admin on August 31st, 2010

Do you want to look younger and feel great? If so, below you will find some anti-aging tips that will help you fight wrinkles, skin aging, and more, along with some tips to find and try the best skin care products and anti-aging creams on the market.


#1 – Do Not Use Skin Care Products That Will Harm Your Skin


When choosing anti-aging skin care products, you should avoid products that contain chemical preservatives, fragrance, and/or dyes. All of these things can potentially damage your skin and cause some major skin irritation and sensitivity. Most of the ‘over the counter’ skin care products contain mineral oil, petroleum-based ingredients, artificial fragrance, dyes, and parabens.


These are very low-quality ingredients are only used because they are inexpensive. With long-term use of these skin care products, their effects can actually be devastating to your skin. Mineral oil is commonly used in cosmetics as a “spreading agent.” Using mineral oil has been shown to clog one’s pores, since it does not allow the skin to breathe, as it prevents oxygen flow to the skin. Your skin’s natural oils cannot break through the barrier, which the mineral oil forms on your skin, therefore, this will promote the formation of wrinkles in your skin.


#2 Do Not Use Skin Care Products That Contain Parabens


Parabens are preservatives, similar to formaldehyde, which is used as an embalming agent by undertakers for cadavers. Parabens are commonly used to preserve the active ingredients that are found in many skin care products and hair care products. Recent studies indicate that parabens may be linked to increased incidents of breast cancer, fluctuating estrogen levels, and even DNA damage. During the past couple of years, new ingredients have come into the skin care product marketplace, which makes using parabens completely obsolete as cosmetic preservative. Therefore, into today’s world, there is no need for cosmetic companies to continue using parabens in their products.


#3 Avoid Excessive and Unprotected Sun Exposure and Tanning Beds


As many would say and know, the sun damages your skin. UVB and UVA rays from the sun will cause the formation of free radicals in your skin, which end up breaking down collagen and elastin fibers, which will make the skin wrinkled and prematurely aged. The most important time for one to avoid sun exposure is between 10 AM and 3 PM. The sun’s rays are the most intense and the most damaging to the skin during this time of day.


The most important anti-aging skin care product you can use is a Broad Spectrum Sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. You should apply this lotion everyday and make it a part of your normal skin care regimen. The best skin care products for sun protection are ones that contain high amounts of zinc oxide. Zinc oxide helps to create a physical barrier on your skin that will actually help deflect the sun’s harmful rays and prevent their damaging effects your skin would end up absorbing.


#4 Maintain a Good and Healthy Diet, along with Exercise


Many people do not know this, but the skin is the human body’s largest organ. What you eat everyday is in direct correlation to the results of how your skin’s health and ability to function normally. Walnuts, canola oil, ground flax seed, foods rich in Vitamin E, green leafy vegetables, and wheat germ are all notably good for your skin. It is highly suggested to take a multi-vitamin with minerals every day in order to support total body health and well-being.


You should keep your skin hydrated by drinking at least 2 liters of water every day. You should also try to minimize alcohol intake as this will cause free radical damage, dehydrate your skin and will prevent the absorption of important vitamins necessary for overall skin health.


#5 Lead and Live a Healthy Lifestyle


You should get at least 6-8 hours of sleep each night. Exercise! This will help to increase blood flow to the skin. Blood delivers important nutrients to your skin and helps rid it of harmful toxins that will promote aging. Stress Reduction – yoga, walking, biking, doing a favorite activity, playing a sport, or just making some quiet time for you.


#6 Keep Your Skin Moist When You Cleanse It


Try to avoid long soaks or baths in hot soapy water, since doing this can end up removing the protective oils from your skin. Use mild bath products that are Ph balanced and have all-natural ingredients in them. Avoid using any petroleum-based products, mineral oils, and parabens. Pat your skin dry, don’t rub it, when drying off. Apply a moisturizing lotion right after bathing or showering, as this will help aide your skins protective layer.


Last but not least, after trying out several anti-aging skin care products, reading numerous anti-aging creams reviews, and more.
