Antiaging Skin Care Tips

‘Antiaging skin care’ is a very poplar concept in today’s world.
Today everyone wants to hide their age using antiaging skin care
procedures (and a number of people are successful too).

However
antiaging skin care is not achieved by any magic potion. ‘Antiaging
skin care’ is about discipline. It is about being proactive.
Antiaging skin care is retarding the ageing process. Here are a
few tips for pro-active antiaging skin care:

1. Maintain healthy eating habits:

A well balanced diet is the
key to maintaining a proper body metabolism. Eat a lot of fruits
and vegetables (raw), they are the best source of fibre and have
a very refreshing effect on your body. Avoid oily and fatty food;
not only do they lack in essential nutrients but also cause obesity
and other diseases which aid the aging process

2. Beat stress:

This is probably the most important antiaging skin
care measure. Stress disturbs the body metabolism and accelerates
the aging process. Sleep, exercise and a relaxing bath, are all
good ways of beating stress. Aroma-therapy is also known to bust
stress.

3. Drink a lot of water:

Antiaging skin care can’t be any simpler
than this. Water helps in flushing out the toxins from the body,
hence keeping it clean and making it less prone to disease. Around
8 glasses of water (per day) is recommended by all doctors.

4. Regular exercise is a wonderful antiaging skin care procedure.


Besides toning your muscles, it also helps in cleaning the skin by
flushing out the toxins in the form of sweat. Exercise should be
followed by a warm shower in order to completely remove the toxins.

5. Avoid the use of strong, chemical based products on your skin.


Natural skin care products are a good option. Use of organic skin
care products (home made or commercial) can be a very effective
antiaging skin care measure.

6. Do not overuse skin care products. Excessive and harsh application,
both are harmful.



7. Do not ignore skin disorders; it can lead to permanent skin damage.


Try over the counter medication and if that doesn’t help, immediately
visit your dermatologist and seek his/her advice.

8. Vitamin C based skin care products

are very popular means of antiaging
skin care. However, these seem to oxidise very quickly (which makes them
harmful for the skin). So store them properly. If the product turns
Yellowish brown, it means that vitamin c has oxidised and the prodct is
no longer suitable for use.

9. Protect your skin against UV radiation ;

UV rays are known to speed
up the aging process. So, a good sunscreen lotion should be a part of
your antiaging skin care routine.

Natural Skin Care-Will It Solve Skin Problems?

When it comes to skin care products, you will find that a lot of people
are very particular about using only natural skin care products.

They
treat all the synthetic products as harmful to the skin.

So, are natural skin care products the answer to all skin problems?
What if a natural skin care product is not available for the treatment
of a particular skin disorder? Are the synthetic skin care products
so harmful that they should be banned?

Different people have different answers to these questions. However,
the reality is that due to presence of synthetic preservatives, it’s
really tough to find a natural skin care product that is 100% natural.
There are natural skin care products that have natural preservatives,
but their cost might be detrimental. Moreover, such natural skin
products have a shorter shelf life and hence are not preferred by the
manufacturers of natural skin care products.

Some people carry a wrong notion that since natural skin care products
are natural, they cannot cause any harm to the skin. The suitability of
a skin care product is not based on whether it is synthetic or natural.
An unsuitable natural skin care product can harm you in almost the same
way as a synthetic one. So, use natural skin care products, but be open
to synthetic ones too (you might need them when a natural solution is
not available)

Your selection of a natural skin care product should be based on 3 factors:



* The skin type (dry, oily, normal, sensitive) of the person who will
use that natural skin care product.

* The climatic conditions in which it will be used e.g. hot and humid
condition would warranty the use of oil-free natural skin care products.

* The process for application/use of the natural skin care product. A
good natural skin care product (in fact any product) can seem useless if
not used in the proper way.

You can also make natural skin care products by yourself, by using the
recipes that are readily available on the internet and in the books at
book stores.

Use of organic fruits and vegetables is also popular as a natural skin
care procedure. Some essential oils, herbal oils, are useful too and
are known for their moisturising and antiseptic properties

However, using a natural skin care product does not mean that you can
exercise carelessness with other aspects of skin care. Natural skin care
products should be used like supplements to the following ‘essential’
recommendations: healthy eating habits (avoiding oily food), regular
exercise, drinking a lot of water (8 glasses everyday), and cleanliness.
This will then form a perfect and completely natural skin care routine
that will help maintain a healthy beautiful skin for longer time.

Choosing a Facial Skin Care Product

Facial skin care is one thing we all care about.

But caring is not enough. And the companies that promote that they have the answer are numerous. By paying close attention to the following your choice of facial skin care will be easier

The most common facial skin care products are the ones that are used
as part of daily routine. These include things like cleansers and
moisturizers. Toners and exfoliation ones are well known too but not
many people use them as such.

The general classification of facial skin care products is based
on the following:



* Gender (so there are facial skin care products for men and there
are facial skin care products for women).

* Skin type (facial skin products for oily skin, facial skin care
products for dry skin, facial skin care products for normal skin
and facial skin care products for sensitive skin).

* Age (facial skin care products for old and facial skin care
products for young).

* Skin disorder (i.e. facial skin care products for treatment of
various skin orders like eczema, acne etc).

So that is your starting point for choosing a facial skin care
product that suits you. A good way to start is by determining your
skin type first. Also note that the skin type changes with age, so
the facial skin product that suits you today, might not suit you
forever and hence you need to constantly evaluate the effectiveness
of your facial skin care product.

The facial skin care products are available in various forms (i.e.
creams, lotions, gels, masks etc) and a lot of people try to pit
one against the other in their discussion on which form is best.
However, one can’t really rate one form as better than another form.
What suits you (and whatever you are comfortable with) is the best
form of facial skin care product for you, really.

However, it’s important to note that these products work differently
for different people.

So the best thing is to try the facial skin
care product on a small patch of skin (e.g. ear lobes) before actually
going ahead and using it.

Another important consideration is the state of your skin. If you are
suffering from a skin disorder of any kind, it is best to seek the
advice of a dermatologist before you actually make your selection
and start using a facial skin care product.

Once you have selected the facial skin care product for yourself,
you also need to ensure that you use the facial skin care product
in the right way i.e. follow correct procedures for application,
use the correct quantity and make the facial product a part of your
skin care routine.

Herbal Skin Care Tips

Skin care

is something that we can agree is important to how we look and feel. Choosing the correct skin care is important.

Is herbal skin care the answer?

Let's take a look.

Skin care is not a topic of recent times;

it has been in practice since
ancient times, when herbal skin care was probably the only way to take
care of skin. However, skin care has transformed in a big way. Herbal
skin care routines have been replaced by synthetic/chemical-based skin
care routines. The herbal skin care recipes which once used to be common
place are not so popular today (and even unknown to a large population).
This transformation from herbal skin care to synthetic, can probably be
attributed to two things – our laziness (or just the fast pace of lives)
and the commercialisation of skin care.

Even herbal skin care products


have been commercialised. These commercial herbal skin care products
have to be mixed with preservatives in order to increase their shelf-life,
hence making them less effective than the fresh ones made at home. However,
it seems that things are changing fast and more people are now opting for
natural and herbal skin care routines. But still, none want to make them
at home and hence the commercial market of herbal skin care products is
on the rise.

So what are these herbs or herbal skin care mechanisms?



Aloe vera, which is an extract from Aloe plant, is one of the best examples
of herbal skin care product. Freshly extracted aloe vera is a natural
hydrant that helps in soothing skin. It also helps in healing cuts and
treating sun burns.

A number of herbs are known to possess cleansing properties.

Dandelion,
chamomile, lime flowers and rosemary herbs, are a few examples of such
cleansers. Their herbal skin care properties get invoked when they are
combined with other herbs like tea.

Antiseptics are another important part of Herbal skin care.

Lavender,
marigold, thyme and fennel are good examples of herbs that are known to
possess antiseptic properties. Lavender water and rose water also form
good toners.

Tea plays an important part in herbal skin care. Tea extracts are used
for treatment of skin that has been damaged by UV radiation.

Oils prepared from herbal extracts present another means of herbal skin
care.

Tea tree oil, Lavender oil, borage oil and primrose oil are some
popular oils used in herbal skin care. Some fruit oils (e.g. extracts
from fruits like banana, apple and melon) find use in shower gels (as a
hydrating mix)

Homeopathic treatments and aromatherapies

also come under the umbrella
of herbal skin care remedies.

Herbal skin care is good not only for the routine nourishing of skin but
also for treatment of skin disorders like eczema and psorasis. Most herbal
skin care products don’t have any side effects (the most important reason
for preferring them over synthetic products) Moreover, herbal skin care
products can be easily made at home, hence making them even more attractive.
So, herbal skin care is the way to go. However, this does not mean that
you totally discard the synthetic products. Some people go to the extent
of debating with their dermatologist, if he/she suggests a synthetic product.
You should accept the fact that some skin orders might need usage of clinically
proven non-herbal skin care products.

Fight Aging. Fight Smart

There are two good reasons why there are so many dermatologists and plastic surgeons in California and Florida. Not only are people there concerned about their appearance, but they have more sun damage than most anywhere else. Tans—once considered healthy and attractive—have turned to weathered, aged skin.

FREE RADICALS THAT DAMAGE CELLS

Of course, anti-aging skin care products are popular all over—but especially in the sunbelt states, where the sun’s UV rays have damaged the skin. And we’re not talking about a few little crow’s feet here. I live in the unofficial sun-damage capital of the world—southern California–which has more than its share of lines, wrinkles, scaling, loss of elasticity, uneven skin tone and hyper-pigmentation. In the sunbelt states, the sun inflicts profound damage and accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature aging.

Sunscreen is a critical first step—but not just any sunscreen. In fact, one independent environmental group claims that 80% of sunscreens fail to provide adequate protection (more on this in my next blog).

But let’s go beyond sunblocks, and think about the anti-oxidants that are contained in skin care products. Anti-oxidants are not just a buzzword any more. The good, old-fashioned ones, like Vitamins A, C and E are still good. They protect against free radicals and help keep the skin supple and younger-looking. But newer anti-oxidants have evolved that work harder and smarter.

Natural melanin dissipates 99.9% of the free radicals that it comes in contact with (that’s 10X more than Vitamin E). It’s one of nature’s best photo-protectants. The melanin that I use in Oclipse sunscreen is derived from cuttle fish, and lends a soft, natural tint to the sunscreen.

DNA Repair enzymes have great value as well. They work at the cellular level to repair oxidative (free radical) damage as it occurs, and makes the cells stronger and more resistant to future damage. Co-Q-10 protects cells’ DNA by helping to prevent structural and cellular damage caused by pollution, sunlight and cigarette smoke.

And so why do I use so many anti-oxidants? Isn’t one good enough? Not in my opinion. When I fight, I fight hard. I don’t want to just “protect”—I want to repair, prevent and protect.

Start with a product that defends and repairs cellular damage, then top it off with a broad- spectrum UVA/UVB sunblock. Wait 20 minutes before going outside. When you’re in the sun, reapply the sunscreen frequently (there is no such thing as an all-day waterproof sunscreen).

Enjoy the summer; take care of yourself, and your skin.
