Wrinkle Prevention Of the Skin
- As the skin ages, it characteristically becomes drier and loses itselasticity. The rejuvenating capabilities slow down and the oxygen andnutrient supply decreases as our bodies' circulation decreases. Thesechanges take place in the dermal layers of the skin, beneath the surface.How fast and to what extent this dermal layers changes depends on fourthings:
- Age
- Heredity
- Skin Care Habits
- Eating Habits.
- Of course, we have no control over our age, and as time passes, ourskin is more prone to wrinkles. We also have no control over our heredityand the type of skin that we are born with. Thinner, fairer, drier -skinned people tend to wrinkle sooner than those with darker, thickerand more oily skin. However, no matter what your heredity is, thereis much that can be done to establish youthful and great-looking skin.
- First, one has to establish positive skin care habits and replenishthe nutrients that keep the inevitable telltale signs of aging at aminimum-and even reverse them. The skin responds very well to a healthyprogram designed to prevent wrinkles. On such a program it is possibleto have soft, beautiful, radiant and young-looking skin for a lifetime.The health program consists of healthy eating habits, using naturalskin-care products, and by following the suggestions below:
- The Sun
- The sun causes irreparable damage to exposed skin and canresult in premature wrinkling, scaling, dryness, age spots,broken capillaries, skin discoloration, and skin cancer. Doctor's,dermatologists and skin care professionals, all recommend wearinga sunscreen whenever you are going to be out in the sun - winterand summer - to prevent the damaging effects.
- Sunscreens are best applied 30 to 60 minutes before goingin the sun and need to be reapplied after swimming, perspiringor toweling off.
- There are two major types of ultraviolet light emitted fromthe sun: ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). Both formsare implicated in skin cancer, but UVA can also cause skin damageand premature aging.
- When purchasing a sunscreens make sure that it contains bothUVA and UVB protection.
- Additionally stay out of direct sunlight between eleven o'clockand two o'clock (when the sun's rays are the most intense);
- Avoid tanning booths, sunlamps and tanning pills and coveryour skin with clothing if it is not protected by a sunscreen.
- Age Protection day cream is the best way to fight aging fromthe outside. Herbals Antioxidants such as grape seed, pycnogenol,garlic, are the best antioxidants that help slow cellular aging.
- Smoking
- Smoking causes premature aging of the skin, browning of theteeth and fingers, damage to the hair, not to mention the foulodor smell on your breath and clothes
- Cigarette's carbon monoxide and nicotine have a very harmfuleffect on the circulatory system and deprive the skin tissueof much-needed oxygen.
- People who smoke can develop a pallid (gray) complexion, anddevelop wrinkles much sooner than those who do not smoke.
- Studies have shown that a forty-year-old smoker's skin iscomparable to a sixty-five-year-old non-smoker's skin.
- In addition, a smoker's skin does not heal well.
- One of the main reason for this is that smoke destroy vitaminC in the body.
- Vitamin C is important for healing wounds and has the primaryfunction of maintaining collagen, a protein necessary for theformation of connective tissue in skin, ligaments, and bones.

- Recent studies are now showing that alcohol consumption foreven moderate drinkers (one to two ounces per day) can leadto liver damaged, a variety of cancers, and may contribute toosteoporosis.
- It is certain that anything which has this kind of effecton one's general health is going to affect the skin.
- Alcohol dehydrates the skin and impedes circulation, thusrobbing it of precious moisture and vital nutrients.
- It can lead to broken or distended capillaries, especiallyover the nose and cheeks.
- Alcohol also depletes the body of vitamins and minerals neededfor a healthy complexion.
- Hydrating Skin Nutriment is very important in replenishingand moisten vital nutrients the skin needs for a youthful andhealthy complexion. Antioxidants, MSM and Vitamin C should betaken daily.
- Poor Quality Cosmetics
- Cosmetics with inferior ingredients can actually harm theskin by drying it out, irritating it or clogging the pores.
- Beware of skin care products with large amounts of alcohol,oils, chemicals, and especially, artificial colors and artificialfragrances all which can contribute to free radicals damage.
- Some natural - ingredient products containing small amountsof natural alcohol such as benzyl, cetyl (use as a emulsifieror preservative) can be safe.
- Using cosmetics of poor quality in many cases can be worsethan using nothing at all.
- Look for products that contain natural ingredients such asvegetable oils, fruit acids such as glycolic and lactic acids,herbal extracts, micellized vitamins and essential oils suchas fatty acids.
- Even though products containing natural ingredients are moreexpenses than chemicals or artificial products you will definitivelysee the difference in the way your skin looks and feels.
- Why Exercise Is Important
- A Healthy And Youthful Skin Glow
- With age, illness and the lack of exercise, the blood supplythat flows to the skin, nourishing it with nutrients and oxygen,diminishes - and you lose your naturally rosy cheeks and generalhealthy youthful look.
- Exercise and fresh air are very important not only in thehealth of your skin, but for the way your skin looks and feels.There are a number of reasons why exercise and fresh air areimportant.
- Exercise boots blood circulation, which, in turn, upsthe rate at which skin cells receive oxygen and nutrients.The flush on your face after a good workout is a sign thatyour skin has just had a real meal.
- Exercise gradually increases blood volume; that meansmore nutrients and more oxygen are carried to the skin.
- Exercise and fresh air can relieve stress, which showsup eventually as lines and wrinkles on the face.
- Exercise precipitates, which flushes out dirt and impurities,such as uric acid, from the skin and brings more naturalmoisturizers to the epidermis.
- Exercise raises skin temperature - from 86 F. to 98.6F., and in doing so steps up the production of collagen,which keeps skin thick and young-looking.
- Exercise burns calories and helps you maintain your weightand avoid the yo-yo syndrome of repeated weight gains andlosses, which ages skin dramatically.
- CELL -Shedding Slowdown
- Another reason you lose your youthful glow and, perhaps, gainan uneven skin tone with aging is the dead cells at the topof your epidermis that are not being shed as effectively oras fast as they used to be.
- While young skin naturally gets rid of these dead cells andreplaces them with fresh new cells within fifteen to twentydays, older skin requires twenty-five to thirty-five days forthe same process. In plain language, what this means is thatthe dead cells remain on the surface of your skin too long;they clump together, clogging pores, causing an ashen, dulland sometimes a leathery - looking skin tone. Thus, the absoluteimportance of stepping up the exfoliating of dead cells on thesurface of your skin as you get older for maintaining a youthfulskin tone.
- Exfoliation and Face Peels
- Your skin is a living organ made up of millions of cells.
- Every day thousands of cells die, fall off and are replacedby new cells from below.
- As we age, this become a slower and more difficult procedure.
- Your skin becomes unable to shed dark blotches, sun damage,or a dull, lifeless complexion.
- Exfoliation or peeling off the top layers of dead and damagedskin cells is necessary in creating an even, controlled sheddingof several layers of the skin surface. This exposes a new freshlayer of skin with a more even color and a smoother, cleanertexture.
- The exfoliation of dead skin cells stimulates new cells togrow, thereby tightening the skin, which decreases wrinkling.
- Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
- Alpha hydroxy acids might be the anti-aging miracle workersof the '90's. These New Age, wrinkle -smoothers from plants,fruits and/or milk products also help clear blemishes, hydratethe skin and lighten pigment spots by loosening one to severallayers of dead cells clinging to the skin's surface.
- AHAs are so powerful on the skin that cosmetic companies areputting them in everything from cleansers and creams to masksand lotions.
