Anti-Aging Skin Care Top Nine Tips

Many people are looking for techniques and regimes to apply in order to benefit from anti-aging treatments.

There are so many products, so many drugs, so many treatments and too much advice! What is required are some simple tips for one to follow that will give the required anti-aging effects on your skin in the long term.

In my work in the anti-aging field, I have found nine top tips that will help you to reduce the effects of aging on your skin.

Keep out of the sun for extended periods and avoid burning and tanning. Use sunscreen daily – nothing can increase the aged look more than too much sunshine. Remember that thin, white cotton shirts may not protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun.

Get at least eight hours of sleep per day. Much is still unknown about the sleep process, but what is known is that the body appears to undergo a self-renewal process. Signs of aging are observed in those not getting the right amount of sleep. Examples include bags around the eyes as this is one of the most fragile parts of the body.

Use a prescription retinoid – these are scientifically proven creams on the market that are derivatives of vitamin A. They help production of collagen.

Exercise regularly – every day if possible. Skin is a living organ of cells, water and blood. Your entire system, including your skin and its youthful appearance, will benefit from regular exercise.

Stop smoking. Smoking causes destruction of the skin by reducing the quality of blood circulation to it giving rise to a dull color and wrinkles. Starving your body of oxygen and filling it with chemicals will cause aging. If you are serious about effective anti- aging skin care, you should strongly consider stopping or at least cutting down.

Drink eight glasses of water per day. Not just any water, put purified, distilled or spring water should be drunk. The body is composed mainly of water and uses it as a filtration medium. You should assist your body in ridding it of its toxins, thus reducing the effects of aging.

Weight loss. If you are overweight you are putting a great strain on your body, which cannot operate at its optimum. You should aim to lose weight, allowing the body to operate at an optimum level and hence keeping to a mimimum, some inevitable signs of aging.

Alcohol and stimulants – caffeine, alcohol and other stimulants and chemicals should be avoided and consumed only in moderation. These unnatural levels of chemicals in the bloodstream lead to a less than efficient operation of the body and hence give rise to aging.

Avoid stress and stressful situations. Stress has been implicated in many conditions of the skin. It can result in paleness, pimples, flaking of the skin and hair loss. Learn how to relax from stressful situations with approriate relaxation techniques.

What’s in the Best Anti-aging Skin Creams?

Undoubtedly, you have been slogging through a large assortment of different products while looking for the very best anti-aging skin creams.  It’s hard to decide on what to buy when every manufacture is without fail telling you that his and his alone is the pinnacle in anti-aging skin cream.

Most of these claims are made without a shred of scientific data to back them up.  The reason you’re not presented with said evidence is because more likely than not the data would utterly refute their claim to having the best anti-aging skin care creams on the market.  So, trust not he who would lead you blindly down the path.

Hard evidence of the products effectiveness is what you need, but with most of the flourishing cosmetics companies this proof is difficult to come by.  I would ask a company representative if the anti-aging skin cream in question had been clinically tested.  If the answer is yes, then there should be recorded data.  If the answer is no, then put the product down and back away slowly.

I know that I for one am not going to slather myself up with anything that hasn’t been proven to be safe.  The celebrity spokesperson can prattle on all day about what this product can do, but I’m not buying into the “best anti-aging skin creams” pitch unless you can show me something to back it up.

Of course I’m the kind of person who would never purchase something like that from television or an ad in a magazine anyway.  I want to hold it, I want to look it over, but mostly I just want to be able to see what it actually says on the label. 

What you’ll probably discover upon looking at the label is that the anti-aging skin cream that you’re holding in your hand isn’t nearly as pure and organic as you were led to believe.  You’ll most likely find in it the very cost cutting chemicals and additive that most cosmetics companies use in order to save enough money to pay for said ads, and ensure that the company Christmas party is in Vegas again this year.

It’s not ‘technically’ as though the company purposely tried to dupe you into believing that their “best anti-aging skin creams” were purely organic.  The sad fact is that the companies are not really required by law to tell you anything at all about what goes into their products.  They pretty much have free reign to tell you anything that they want.

This is because the governing bodies who are supposed to hold the makers of these products accountable don’t enforce the few regulations that are imposed on cosmetics companies.  They are allowed to put collagen into their products even though it is a known high risk allergen.  If you go to get collagen injections you must first take a battery of tests, but apparently you can slap it into some anti-aging skin cream and nobody cares.

When trying to find the best anti-aging skin creams for you, just be careful.
