The Truth About Anti Aging

There are no real creams that will make you look ten year younger. While it is true that some creams will help minimize the appearance of wrinkles, the best way to stay young is to eliminate the amount of toxins your skin receives. For example, smoking cigarettes will easily add ten years to your skin over a period of time as it dries you out and dehydrates the skin. Another problem many women have is over exposure to the sun, this can be a skin nightmare, and not only for aging but also because it can lead to deadly skin cancer.

The best way to stay looking young is to get plenty of sleep, at least 8 to 10 hours a night, and when possible a nap in the afternoon. The age old saying “beauty sleep” was not named for nothing. Sleep actually keeps your skin and your body young as the cells heal during sleep. It is also a wonderful idea to be sure to apply a sun screen every time you go outside with an SPF of at least 15, the higher the better. Many make-ups contain an SPF of about 8, so using a cream under your make-up, if you must wear make-up, is a great idea.

Another link to remaining young is hydration for your organs. Drinking a minimum of 8- 8 ounce glasses of water will help keep the skin fresh and supple as it will keep your body from becoming dried out. This is the main cause of premature aging.
