It’s an inevitable fact of life, this thing called skin aging. These days, the concern on delaying the visible signs of skin aging has not taken hold merely on women but even on men as well. Cosmetic surgery clinics are sprouting like mushrooms, boasting of the latest in skin rejuvenation, skin firming, botox injections, and other anti-aging procedures. However, due largely to the fact that most people want immediate results they think that the only option available is undergoing expensive cosmetic procedures. Changes in lifestyle, eating habits, level of physical activity, and other natural skin and body care routine can have significant effects in maintaining a youthful glow.
Drink water more often than any other beverage, and minimize carbonated drinks. Water keeps the body and the skin hydrated, flushes away toxic waste materials from the body, helps in maintaining regular bowel movements, and fills you up so you don’t have to eat more. Aging skin is generally dry skin, and wrinkles are more visible on dry rather than well-moisturized skin. Moreover, when harmful toxins are not properly eliminated from the body, this is potentially harmful for the body’s organs as they have to work extra hard to cope with the effects of the harmful elements retained within.
A diet that is rich in living foods is better that one that is loaded with refined goods, and processed meats. Living foods mean fruits, leafy vegetables that can be eaten as salads and nuts that are a healthy source of essential oils and healthy fats. Red meats are also hard to digest and because the body organs has to work extra hard to process and digest these, this results in a weaker and much aged body. Fiber-rich meals on the other hand are easy to digest and aids in timely elimination of toxins. Skin aging usually results from a faulty diet and the earlier people accept this, the more they will realize that they have to really watch what they eat.
It is also better if smoking and too much alcohol intake must be eliminated for a truly healthy and youthful lifestyle. Smoking dehydrates the skin, weakens the lungs, and affects even the health of those within near vicinity. Too much alcohol moreover parches the skin resulting in an unhealthy complexion and an overworked liver. Ever noticed that hard drinkers and habitual smokers look much older than their health conscious colleagues? This is due to the encouraging effects of alcohol and nicotine in the bodily skin aging process.
Prolonged sun exposure ages the skin more than anything. For a simpler illustration, look at the way the sun reduces the grape into a wrinkled raisin. The grape’s juices are all dried out and all that is left is a wrinkled skin that is coarse and hard to the touch. If you have to stay out on the sun, wear a shielding sunscreen that has protection factor above 15. Furthermore, avoid the sun as much as possible during the hours between 10AM and 3PM. This is when the sun has the most damaging degree and makes skin aging worse. Cover up with a wide hat or a large umbrella when unavoidable.
Finally, apply a skin moisturizer on the face and neck daily even when you are still in your middle twenties. There are several excellent brands that have loads of vitamin A, C, and E and wrinkling prevention compounds. The results definitely won’t be overnight, unlike aesthetic procedures that effect instant consequences. Healthy living generally takes consistent effort done over a considerable amount of time. Skin aging is inevitable, but there a few inexpensive and natural means to help you avoid looking like you’re already twice your age.
