Every day, most of us usually look in the mirror at our reflection. Then one day you see something you have never seen before and it looks so ugly — a wrinkle on your forehead. It’s at this point that you realise you are getting older and it’s starting to show. Most people, especially women, are obsessed with aging; they think that it is the worst thing that could happen to the human race. Sadly, we can’t stop it, but we can slow the process down from the inside out.
There are many things that contribute to the aging process — smoking, excessive drinking, poor diet, lack of exercise, insufficient water, stress, excessive worrying, exposure to the free radicals in the atmosphere, sun, insufficient sleep and a poor facial cleansing routine. What can you do about it though? There are, in fact, many things you can do.
Let’s look at your facial cleansing routine first. If you are 35 years and over, you need to use a cleanser, toner and moisturiser that is rich in Alpha hydroxy acids, Vitamin C, green tea, Vitamin E, Hyaluronic acid and collagen. If you are 50 years and over, you need a cleanser, toner and moisturiser that is rich in collagen, elastin, alpha hydroxy acids, allantoin, grape seed, placenta, vitamin C, aloe vera, DNA, vitamin K, hyaluronic acid, algae CoQ-10, DAME, alpha- lipoic acid and peptides. Your cleanser should be crème based so it will keep your skin soft and moist while cleansing.
Persons who have age spots that eventually spread all over their cheeks, will have to use a facial cleansing line that will lighten the age spots. You have to use extreme caution when buying products for treatment because not all of them will work for everybody, so looking at the ingredients in the product is important in this case. The ingredients you should look for are mulberry extract, kojic acid, vitamin C, AHA, licorice and glycolic acid.
Using an eye crème is also extremely important. Most people wait until there are visible signs of wrinkles all around their eyes before they start using one. At this point, however, it is a bit challenging because you will have to do several facial eye treatments to make the lines less visible or, in some cases, Botox or Collagen filler injections would be much more effective, but will only last six months. So the best thing you can do to prevent it, is to use a proper eye crème and serum every day at bed time. The ingredients you should look for are matrixyl, argireline, collagen, elastin, peptides and vitamin C.
Drinking lots of water on a daily basis also helps tremendously with fine lines and wrinkles. If you think about a plant, when a leaf becomes dry it eventually breaks and falls off. It’s is the same with your skin. When your skin becomes extremely dry it breaks and forms a wrinkle, especially in areas of your face that are frequently used, for example your forehead if you frown a lot, around your mouth and around your eyes if you squint and laugh a lot.
Using a daily moisturiser, night crème and serum is extremely important especially if you are over 50. To prevent turkey neck, you have to start using a proper neck crème as soon as you turn 30 and use it day and night. Many persons don’t believe in using a night crème, but using one helps the cells repair themselves at night. In other words, whatever damage was done to your skin during the day, the cell will repair the damage, so giving them something to make their job less stressful will help your skin tremendously.
This is why sufficient sleep is extremely important. The cells need that resting time to work properly. When you don’t get sufficient sleep at night, it will result in a tired, sagged and dull looking skin the next morning looking ten years older. Some of you would be able to relate to this, especially after liming, drinking and smoking the night before. If you want to have beautiful skin and age gracefully, your lifestyle, eating habits and facial cleansing routine has to change and if you want to look younger you may as well start now.
