Anti Aging Skin Care - Tips To Slow Down The Aging Process

By Allan Marsh


When it comes to the aging of your skin, there's no escape. Still, there's no reason to rush. You can slow down the wrinkles and the sagging. Using skin creams and treatments may already be a part of your daily grooming regimen. However, topical creams cannot be expected to work alone for full efficacy. The best way to start your anti-aging effort is on the inside.

First of all, are you drinking enough water? For good health, there are varying opinions about the amount of water one actually needs but the general consensus is that you may not be drinking enough. If you're thirsty, your skin is thirsty too -- which means dryness and wrinkles. By regularly drinking water, you will be able to hydrate your skin.

Drink water, but avoid alcohol and soft drinks. Skin can be dehydrated because of the contents of these beverages, and it can also wreak havoc on its structure. Green tea is low in caffeine but enough for a pick-me up, which makes it an acceptable alternative to water. Free radicals cause aging, and green tea is loaded with antioxidants that destroy these free radicals.

It's always a good idea to have multivitamins but make sure your body can easily absorb nutrients from food. In your diet, you need to include plenty of fruits and veggies. Besides vitamins and minerals, more antioxidants are fortified in your body. Blueberries have one of the highest antioxidant values, making them one of nature's super foods.

Don't forget to exercise. Exercise keeps the weight down, works the heart, tones the muscles, and gets the blood flowing so it keeps us from aging. Not only will you look younger if you exercise, you will feel younger as well. Getting into this habit is very beneficial.

For people who look younger than their age, their secret is getting enough sleep. Find ways to work it in if you're not getting enough sleep. Take a book to bed instead of watching television all the time. You'll have an easier time getting to sleep with this quiet practice. Even after we've begun to relax, the colors and movement of the television would keep our brains working.

You need to take the time to take care of your skin because by the time you do have time, it may be too late. Now would be a good time to protect your skin. Years later, you'll be thanking yourself for it and not only will you look younger, you'll feel younger too.
