Youthful Skin Appearance

By: Juliet Cohen

Aging brings with it the realization that their skin will no longer have that youthful appearance. Sun and cigarettes in adolescence and early adulthood are also the culprits behind age spots, broken blood vessels and irregular pigmentation by the time you're in your 30s. Some things you can do to slow down the aging skin. Use sunscreen every day Keep away from highly polluted areas and don’t smoke. Smoking changes the elasticity of the skin fibers leading to rough and wrinkled skin. Drink plenty of water. Your skin loses water during hot days and needs plenty of water to keep hydrated. Water is found in raw fruits and vegetables. Minimize drinking alcohol. Alcohol can lead to spider veins and broken capillaries. It also causes your skin to become dehydrated.

Eat more fruits and vegetables. Take an antioxidant supplement, which should include up to 2000 mg of vitamin C. Retinoids (vitamin A derivatives) help remove dead cells for smoother skin, stimulate collagen production to ease wrinkles, and even out skin tone. Sodas, sugar drinks, tea, (except herbal teas) coffee, or milk are not water. Rotate between buying and drinking Reverse Osmosis and Distilled water. Eating a healthy diet can also aid in the quest for youthful skin. Many foods have essential nutrients and vitamins in them that actually help your skin maintain a reasonable level of moisture as well as making the skin stronger and more attractive in appearance. Sun damage is cumulative—and that means every day's rays do a little more harm.

Healthy and supple skin is not so much of a dream if you take proper precautions and pay attention to your diet and exercise. Daily skin and facial care is much more effective in making us look beautiful than any cosmetics in the world. Cleansing is quite essential to avoid acnes and other skin problems. Wash your skin often using a mild face wash and wipe off with a clean washcloth.
