How To Achieve Anti Aging
Taking too much stress about looking young will work against your efforts of doing so rather than aiding it. Stress is a major deterrent of anti-aging process. Since aging is a natural process and is completely unavoidable like death and taxes, it is important for us to accept it as nature and to look in finding ways to assist it.
Aging directly depends on many factors like our genes, our way of living, our eating habits, the fluids that we drink and how we behave with our bodies. What we do with these factors today will reflect in the way we will look tomorrow.
The major and first symptoms of aging reflect in your skin. Hence, if you want to look younger than you actually are, then you need to take appropriate care of your skin.
It is very critical to identify your skin type, before you choose an anti-ageing formulation for you. These cosmetic formulations which aid in anti-ageing are different for different types of skin. Take the help of your dermatologist to determine the correct skin type of yours.
Sunlight and the lethal Ultraviolet (UV) rays of the Sun are the most important factors that cause skin damage. It is of prime importance that you always protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays.
Even during winters and cloudy days the UV rays are present in the earth’s atmosphere and hence it is highly recommended to use an appropriate and effective sunscreen to protect your skin from the Sun.
Do not expose your skin to the Sun between 11 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon, as these are the hours of the day when the UV rays from the Sun are lethal.
If you want to look young, eat right. Include a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet along with lean meats and fish. A healthy diet under the careful supervision of a qualified dietician will help in retaining the youthfulness in your skin.
The nicotine in cigarettes which enter the blood-stream when you smoke, robs the Vitamin C from the skin thus causing the skin to look old and wrinkled. Every one of us is aware about the other ill-effects caused by smoking which include cancers of the lungs and mouth, heart diseases and many others.
Hence quit smoking if you want to look young!
Drinking plenty of water helps in flushing-out the harmful toxins from your body. It also helps in keeping the skin hydrated always. The norm is to drink at least six to eight glasses of water in a normal day!
There is a lot of research that has happened and published as to why the skin ages and why we grow old. If we want to fight aging and delay it for as long as we could, we can do so with the help of natural cosmetic products which are developed by means of advanced technological findings and techniques that provide holistic healing.
