TOP TEN Ways to fight aging

1. Become a sunscreen zealot. Protect your skin. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or greater and reapply it frequently during continued sun exposure. Wearing a hat and protective clothing is also important.

2. Hydrate. Our natural moisturizing factor slows down as we age because we produce less and less natural moisture. Much of skin’s aging process is simply caused by our cells losing moisture.

3. Barrier repair and lipid replenishment. Ceramides are the most effective lipid. Ceramides enhance the skins natural moisturizing factors, reduce irritation, inflammation and speed skin healing, recovery and even enhance the penetration of performance ingredients in skin care products.

4. Consume vitamins and antioxidants daily. By consume, take them internally and apply them topically. You need multi-vitamins, minerals and antioxidant to reach your skin to manage the aging process. Include glucosamine to optimize the water content in the cells. Essential fatty acids will lock moisture in the cells and Amino acids are the building blocks for collagen and elastin.

5. Minimize gycation. Limit sugar in your diet. Glycation is the process that occurs throughout our bodies, including skin tissues, when a sugar molecule bonds with a protein molecule. When this happens, the protein becomes weak and brittle and may even fracture, making it extremely vulnerable to free radical attack.

6. Counteract inflammation. Protect against inflammatory aggressors such as UV exposure, free radicals and harsh acidic irritating cosmetics.

7. Stop over exfoliating. Over exfoliation can cause inflammation and post inflammatory hyper pigmentation.

8. Manage and reduce stress. Our skin acts as a virtual mirror of our inner turmoil, thus accelerating the aging process. Recent scientific studies show that high levels of stress and extended chronic stress interfere with the body’s systems that repair and regulate the skin. Stress affects the immune system as it lowers the body’s white blood count.

STRESS MANAGEMENT TIPS TO SAVE SKIN
A. Eat better. A healthy diet high in omega 3 fatty acids and low refined sugars will help maintain a younger appearing skin. Don’t skip meals or consume too much caffeine. Include food high in B vitamins, bioflavonoids and potassium.
B. Drink Water. Your skin needs moisture to repair itself.
C. Sleep is a must for allowing the body to recharge itself.
D. Exercise is an instant stress reliever.
E. Relaxation techniques can actually raise one’s resistance to the effects of stress.
F. Don’t Smoke. Smoking breaks down the natural proteins in the skin and decreases the blood supply to the skin.

9. Professional facials. Professional products used during a facial treatment enter the skin at a higher dosage, which will have a greater impact on the skin. Professional treatments stimulated the repair response in the skin to speed cell renewal and refine the surface.

10. Home care. Stop skipping your home care, this gives you 60 opportunities a month to nourish, hydrate and protect your skin against environmental damage.
