Skin Care Tips

Everyone loves to have a youthful and glowing skin. But as we age, the skin slowly starts losing its elasticity and moisture. This causes the formation of wrinkles, thus making our skin look dull and lifeless.
Today there are many expensive anti aging cosmetic treatments available. But we can also fight the horrors of an aging skin by caring properly for our skin and following a healthy lifestyle.
Here are some anti aging skin care tips which will help you have a younger looking skin.

The first and foremost step in attaining a younger looking skin is to follow a regular beauty care routine for your skin. Cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin on a regular basis. These processes help in the tightening of the skin cells and also prevent the formation of dry skin and age lines, while keeping your skin soft and supple.
Remove your makeup daily before going to bed. If makeup is put on overnight, it will clog the pores of the skin and will eventually ruin its texture. Also improper cleansing of the skin will lead to the stripping of the natural oils in the skin causing the skin to sag.
Decrease the frequency of hot showers and saunas as they make your skin dry. Also apply moisturizer on damp skin so that the moisture will be retained for a longer time on the skin.
Do not expose your skin to harsh weather conditions. Excessive exposure to the sun can cause premature skin aging. The harmful UV rays of the sun can penetrate into the skin tissues and can cause sun burns and formation of wrinkles. If you are going out in the sun, always wear a sunscreen with a SPF of minimum 15.
The use of sunscreens and body lotions enriched with Vitamin E and antioxidants will provide you with a healthy and younger looking skin. Also skin care products containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) helps in reducing lines and wrinkles. Application of olive oil and honey on the face is seen to take care of the problem of aging skin to a great extent.
Along with following a regular skin care regime, it is very much necessary to eat a well balanced diet enriched in vitamins and minerals. Always keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Also give up the habit of smoking to have a young and healthy skin.
