Anti Aging Skin Therapy Tips And Common Sense
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010As we get on in years, who isn’t making an attempt to stay young, to hold the line on aging? And where do we see our age and fret our age more, than in our skin? I want to share with you some general anti aging skin care treatment that will keep your skin young and healthy, and advocate some natural anti aging skin products that make a big difference too.
The healthiness of our skin reflects many factors. Resveratrol is all about reactivating the age defying gene the we already have. Some we cannot control, but others we can and should. Heredity and environment, for instance, could be working against you. But you’re not going to leave the city just to get clean, dewy skin. And if a certain swarthiness is in your genes, there’s not too much you can do about it. But let’s take a look at the anti aging skin treatment you can do and there is a lot to bring your skin to a totally new level.
Water
Yes water is your best anti aging medication. You need to drink at least eight full glasses of spring or well water daily. Your body is 75% water, and your skin is a damp, elastic medium that needs to be kept hydrated naturally from within. Your skin’s thirst for this inner hydration can not be satisfied by just rubbing in creams or lotions on the outside. You want to follow this first commandment of skin care if you want to get the super benefits that anti aging creams and other products also offer.
Natural Creams
Many anti aging creams even the most costly ones have a base of mineral oil, and are piled high with synthetic chemicals and coloring. Just look at the labels. You need bifocals and a lab coat solely to read them! Need one say more? I am getting many compliments on my soft skin, and always the same question : what do you use on it? First I tell folks about water, masses of fresh air and exercise, and moderate exposure to sunlight. Then I am getting down to specific anti aging solutions.
Real Aloe Vera
Lots of products boast that they contain aloe vera so why do we think that we can improve on nature? I am going right to the source, and keep an aloe vera plant growing in my toilet. It is a pretty plant, it’s not difficult to care for, and you simply cut off a piece of leaf and out gushes the wonderful fresh gel. My friends and nursing associates all report the same excitement the 1st time they rub in a gel right from their plants. And they report that it’s the best anti aging product they have ever used and one that you can’t get from a store-bought jar or tube.
Aloe vera is truly powerful
It’s filled with moisture, protein, vitamins and minerals antiaging nutriments that give your skin deep, thorough hydration. Cleopatra is thought to have used aloe vera on her skin, and if you overlook her little snake bite, you’ve got to admit : she was quite a big hit story!
Olive Oil
When my skin is terribly dry I also apply olive oil, and use olive oil soap over my entire body. In reality such were the glorious results I got from olive oil, that I created my own anti aging personal care cosmetic a soap which is 90% olive oil, and smooth beyond belief. Aloe vera, oddly enough, can sometimes make a superficial drying effect, which olive oil quickly smoothes out. Besides anti aging effects, aloe vera adds proteins, minerals and water to your skin.
