‘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).
Howeverantiaging 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 thekey 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 skincare 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 simplerthan 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 antiagingskin 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 speedup the aging process. So, a good sunscreen lotion should be a part of
your antiaging skin care routine.
