Be Youthful Now

Every day we are barraged with new skin care lines and products with claims of younger and healthier skin, rejuvenation, age reversing, etc… According to the FDA, “Many of these products claims are entirely unjustified and, in some cases, outright lies.”

So how is one to weed through the junk and scams to find what really works in skin care? Ask the experts. Dermatologists, plastic surgeons and estheticians have all received thousands of hours of training, certifications and licenses on skin techniques and skin care products that work. They are the skin care experts and here is what they recommend and use on both themselves and their patients:

Waterproof sunscreens with a high SPF: Most people don’t think about their sweat and the fact that it will quickly remove and reduce the effectiveness of most sunscreens. Everyone knows that sunscreen is a must as skin cancer is on the rise and is very deadly. But it must also be effective through the day. Sweat, swimming, etc… will remove the sunscreens protection throughout the day. Some skin care moisturizers have sunscreen with high SPF’s already included. Some makeup lines also have started to include SPF protection. However, make sure that you have a high SPF, low SPF’s are not very protective and can still allow sun damage and aging of your skin. Most of the dermatologists said to stick with waterproof sunscreens as they have the highest SPF’s and are proven to be most effective in clinical studies.

Cleansers: Soaps can dry out your skin and cause aging which will exacerbate any sun damage. A good cleanser will thoroughly clean the skin and leave you feeling refreshed. Cetaphil is highly recommended by the experts we interviewed.

Eye creams and treatments: The skin under and around your eyes is quite susceptible to wrinkles, crows feet, and is a very delicate and sensitive area. Some effective skin care products and skin treatments that are very effective for the eye area are made by Hydroderm. Their products moisturize and plump up the area around the eyes and noticeable differences can be seen in just a few days or weeks. Eye creams and treatments are a great addition to any skin care or treatment. Retinoid or retinol creams and lotions: The latest in anti-wrinkle and anti aging skin care products are retinol creams and lotions. Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A and it has been in use by dermatologists for years as a natural anti aging skin care treatment. Instructions vary dependent upon the product and its unique concentration of active ingredients. It is best to refer to the manufacturers instructions and your doctors recommendations if prescribed. Retinol creams and lotions are very effective against color and pigmentation problems and also wrinkles and sun damage. They are very effective and would make a good addition to any skin care treatment or program.

Alpha-hydroxy, beta-hydroxy and TCA acids: A cleanser with these ingredients will freshen your skin, alter your skin pH so it is non-favorable to bacteria and acne, and remove dead and damaged skin. Alpha-hydroxy (glycolic acid) and Beta-hydroxy (salicylic acid) are effective on oily prone skin. TCA is a deeper medium strength acid and is by far the most effective for skin care and treatment.

In a survey of over 1,000 dermatologists and other skin care and treatment experts across the country this is what they recommended if you could only choose 5 skin care products or items.

It is inevitable that we age as humans.  You may live a carefree life in concerns to your appearance for about the first thirty years, and then little by little you begin to notice changes happening to your appearance. During this time anti aging products might not come to mind, but one day, they might.

But how do you see aging coming?  Perhaps you see wrinkles forming around your mouth or eyes.  Or do you see some gray hair that you never saw before.  Maybe you get tired more easily than before.  If you’re a man is our hair thinning or falling out?

Whatever the issue happens to be, you can take comfort that you can fight many of these common aging issues by using some of the new anti aging products that have come to light in the past 10 years.

To slow the formation of wrinkles around your eyes, you can use natural topical eye creams.  There are many types of topical eye creams, and you want to avoid those that contain many petrochemicals which are harmful to your skin and your body.  Natural creams can be applied to your skin two times or more per day and will generally not irritate your skin.

Go to the Internet and look for a topical cream that has MSM in it.  Do some research on MSM skin creams and you will see why it is so good for your skin.  Just make sure that this cream has other natural ingredients besides MSM.

The first anti aging product you should start using is Omega 3.  This essential fatty acid is one of the most powerful nutrients you can use.  Not only is it good for your skin, making it smooth and radiant, it’s used by every part of your body to keep it young and working properly.

You can get Omega 3 by eating fish, and you should eat fish three times a week, if you can.  However, if you can’t, then using a quality Omega supplement will provide you with the fatty acids that your body needs.

It is best to mix Omega 3s and Fish oil capsules.  Use Omega 3 supplements for one month and the next month use Fish oil capsules.  Fish oil nutrients are easier to digest and absorb. 

If the lines in your forehead bother you, you can use a collagen filler cream. This will decrease the appearance of these lines.  However, you can also take a collagen supplement, which will help to replenish the collagen in your skin.

If aging and your appearance happens to be of concern to you, then you should know that there are many ways that you can utilize anti aging products and techniques that can help you appear much younger than you actually are.

Don’t wait until your skin starts to look wrinkled.  It is hard to change your skin appearance once the skin has aged.  Start at an early age preserving you youthful look.  Use the MSM cream and Collagen Filler for your outside appearance.  Then use the MSM and Fish capsules for building your inside tissue.

When you have completed your Internet research, you are ready to go shopping.  You can buy your anti aging products on the Internet or at the health food stores.  Sometimes certain products are only available on the Internet.  No matter where you find the products you need buy them and start preserving your skin and your life.

We all age naturally, but we can control how fast we age and how we look.  Maybe you don’t worry about how you look until you begin to see the aging in your face, hair or body.  Can you use some anti aging tips?

Are you seeing signs of aging?   Maybe your neck becomes creepy, or the hair turns gray. Do you have crow’s feet around your eyes, or wrinkles around your face?  Maybe you have age spots and dry, dull, rough skin.

Whatever the issue happens to be, you can take comfort that you can fight many of these common aging issues by using some of the new anti aging products that have come to light in the past 10 years.

If you would like to combat wrinkles around your eyes, there are many different topical eye creams that can be applied to the eye area, twice a day, to help improve the appearance of your skin.  A good quality eye cream can help shave years off of your appearance.

If you use a home made exfoliating cream, you will want to protect the new exposed skin by using a moisturizer.  In addition, you want to use a sun block of 40+ to prevent the new skin from drying out or sun burning.

Omega-3 and omega-6, which you find in olive oil and fish oil, can make your skin look more radiant and smoother.  You are probably deficient in omega-3 because most people are.  Therefore, eat fish once a week and take 1000 mg of fish oil everyday.

Here’s how to use Omega-3.  You should always use it with omega-6.  Use around 2-3 parts more Omega-6 to Omega-3.  You can buy capsules that have both essential oils.  When you prepare your salad put two – three tablespoons of Omega-6, olive oil, to one tablespoon of flax seed oil, Omega-3.  When you take fish oil capsules use 1000 mg per day.

Now, another thing, do you see any gray in hair?  Some people start to gray very young.  If this is you, then start using the B-100 vitamin complex.  This will have PABA which helps to reduce premature graying.  Us the B-100’s only during a meal, unless you want an upset stomach.  If you want to dye your hair, use a natural dye, like Antic Herbavita Brand.

When you use skin or hair products, makes sure you use natural products.  If cannot eat, the products you are using, then you should not put them on your skin or hair.  Any chemical you put on your skin will be absorbed and sucked into your blood stream.  If the product you are using is un-natural, the liver will see this as a toxin.  Putting toxins into your blood from bad products, will overwork the liver.  A good functioning liver is necessary for a youthful looking body and a long life.

MSM, methyl sulphonyl methane, is another product that you should use daily.  This product will keep your skin flexible and smooth.  It is used by every cell in your body and keeps your cells permeable so that nutrients can go into your cells and toxins can come out.  MSM is considered a major anti aging product.  Use creams that have it and take 2000 mg tablets or capsules every day.

We all age but we age faster when we use the wrong products on our skin and scalp.  We all age faster when we eat the wrong diet and follow a detrimental lifestyle.  Live a clean life, eat a healthy diet and use the anti aging tips mentioned here and you will live a long, nice, young, looking life.
