As we get older, we naturally become concerned about aging and in particular the aging of our skin. We search for the best products to make our skin retain it’s youthful appearance for as long as possible. When we age, the natural defense of our skin (and in fact of the whole body) weakens. We need to protect our skin from the negative effects of the aging process. The right antiaging skincare products certainly help in maintaining a young and fresh look for a longer period of time. However, protecting our skin from aging doesn’t end just end with the products we apply.
What causes skin aging?
As we get older, collagen and elastin which are the components of the skin that gives it it’s elasticity, break down and lose their effectiveness. The body also produces less of these substances when we age, leading to loss of skin support, sagging wrinkling and jowels. Although some anti aging skin care contains both collagen and elastin, the molecules are too large to pass through the epidermis so these are largely a waste of time.
Gravity is another cause of sagging skin. There is little we can do to fight gravity apart from keeping out skin healthy and firm. Facial exercises can go some way to keeping our muscles firm enough to support our skin.
Sunlight is probably the worst culprit in the aging of our skin. The sun’s rays can damage our skin even when the sun is not shining. We need to wear a good natural sunscreen every day to protect our skin from these rays as well as dirt, germs and wind damage.
What else can we do to delay skin aging?
- drink plenty of water, this plumps out the skin.
- take multivitamins and antioxidants - oxidation is a primary cause of aging skin.
- eat healthy foods rich in nutrients.
- stop smoking.
- drink alcohol in moderation.
- exercise daily - exercise increases circulation which nourishes the skin and keeps it healthy.
- avoid cosmetics containing chemicals – use natural cosmetics instead. Skin care containing natural ingredients is better absorbed by the skin and cause no harm as they are absorbed into our bodies
It’s natural to want to look our best, but aging is an inevitable part of life and there is nothing we can do to stop it. We can however significantly delay the effects of aging on our bodies and our skin by living a healthy lifestyle and by using quality antiaging skincare products.
