Although everyone eventually gets wrinkles and lines, we do have some control over how long they take to form. Here are some basic tips on anti-aging care for your skin that will help diminish the tell tale signs of aging
Avoid getting too much sun exposure
The sun’s ultraviolet rays are one of the skin’s biggest enemies and a leading cause of aging. Those that practice tanning are often at a greater risk for prematurely aged skin including liver spots and wrinkles. They also stand a greater chance of skin cancer.
Many facial cosmetics already contain a sun block but if you don’t wear makeup then be sure to wear sun block. Using a sun block is great but keeping yourself out of the sun is even better. Avoid tanning and tanning beds. Wear a hat when playing golf or other sports or working in the yard.
Moisturizing your skin
All those harmful elements that the skin faces every day – wind, sun, pollutants – sap moisture from the skin’s surface. Adding moisture every day gives the skin’s outer surface the opportunity to absorb this and also acts to protect against those harmful elements.
Hydration
When skin is properly hydrated it is better equipped to fight off pollutants and irritants throughout the day and the chances of wrinkles are reduced. Once it is dry and dehydrated it becomes more difficult.
If you can’t drink water then try something else that keeps you hydrated, such as fruit juice.
Suitable foods include:
• Apples
• Watermelons
• Citrus fruits including oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit
• Leafy green vegetables
• Tomatoes
Antioxidants
Antioxidant products usually contain large amounts of vitamins that attack free radicals and assist the body to repair damaged cells.
Anti-aging Products for Skin Care
Many anti-aging skin care products perform well as moisturizers but these products just can’t get through the layers of skin to actually repair or replace the body’s own collagen. Good products are those containing high levels of vitamins E and A, or just vitamin E oil on its own.
If you are over 45 and suffering from low human growth hormone (hgh) secretion levels, then Gen F20 HGH Releaser may help to increase your hgh levels which in turn improves the look and feel of your skin, and decreases fat while increasing lean muscle.
If you smoke, drink alcohol, eat poorly, get insufficient sleep, and don’t exercise then the effects of Gen F20 are reduced.
Exfoliate Regularly
This is a natural process your skin is supposed to go through every month or so, as the lower layers push up and remove the top layers naturally. You can help this process along by exfoliating on a regular basis.
Micro-Needling
Until recently Micro-Needling was fairly pricey and needed frequent trips to the doctors; however Micro-Needling has now become a familiar practice in most average house holds. The skin roller is a simple device with many sterilized tiny needles which, {as they are rolled over the epidermis}, delicately part the pores of the epidermis and start the healing process increasing the production of collagen and elastin.
Collagen is important for skin to cosmetically heal
Collagen and elastin are the main aspects in the compilation of stretch marks, the main cause of the development of skin problems including stretch marks and cellulite is a lack of collagen and elastin in the skin, when this is replaced the skin goes back to its smooth and firm state. When the skin becomes wounded, such as a cut, the skin repairs itself enough to remain healthy; however the skin doesn’t cosmetically heal.
In order to remove stretchmarks, surgery scars and face wrikles, the skin needs to think that there is reason to begin healing and produce more collagen and elastin, microneedling achieves this by gently seperating the pores of the epidermis giving the impression of a trauma on the skin and needing to be repaired. Repeating the process of Micro-Needling will ensure your skin continues to heal itself until you are completely satisfied with the outcome.
Is Skin Needling the best option?
Compared to other therapies (and when done at home), Micro-Needling is much cheaper and more effective then treatments such as only using creams as the skin only absorbs a small percentage of creams applied, however when applied after using the micro needling roller the creams are absorbed a lot better as the pores are open.
Micro Needling can be used to treat a wide range of skin conditions; Stretch marks, Cellulite, Wrinkles, pitted skin, acne scars, surgery scars, scars, crow’s feet etc
