Practicing Antiaging Skin Care

by Michelle Bery


Our faces are our calling cards to the world. And when our skin doesn't reflect health and vitality our personality doesn't either. Our skin envelopes our entire body and its appearance can speak volumes about our health...and our age. As our skin ages, it begins to lose elasticity. That, combined with poor diet, a sedentary lifestyle, insufficient water, lack of sleep, stress, sun exposure, and environmental pollutants speeds the aging process; the lack of care we are showing for ourselves is literally written all over us.

By following a comprehensive program of antiaging skin care, we can halt - and even reverse - the signs of aging skin. Antiaging skin care involves a synergistic program of healthy living inside and out to positively impact the way in which we age.

First and foremost, nothing does more to age the skin than exposure to the sun. The danger to fair skinned people is most significant. But even if you have darker skin, you are still at risk for earlier aging. One of the easiest ways to prevent wrinkles, age spots, and even skin cancers is to use sunblock - every day, even in the winter. Sunblock can one of your most important tools in antiaging skin care.

Additionally, diet and exercise play tremendous roles in the look and feel of your skin. Maintaining a healthy diet - one that is rich in vitamins and minerals - will literally transform your skin. Concentrate on fresh vegetables and fruits, along with whole grains. And drink plenty of water. Drinking water allows your skin to flush any toxins. Further, a consistent exercise program - while doing wonders for your body and overall health - will also show on your skin.

Antiaging skin care also means the regular use of a proper skin care regime. The types of products are different for everyone - depending on your skin type - but include an exfoliating cleanser, astringent, and moisturizer. There are even antiaging skin care creams that will work to minimize lines and wrinkles. It is wise to work with a dermatologist to determine the antiaging skin care regime that will work for you.

When striving for good health, don't forget your skin. Take measures to increase the overall health of your body through antiaging skin care and you'll soon find your skin transformed.
