Aging Skin - Protection

Our oil glands produce sebum (oil) to provide the skin with a natural protection and to keep it well moisturised and protect against aging skin. However, as we get older our glands produce less oil and our skin also becomes more fragile. Sun is also another major contributor to aging skin, the more we protect ourselves the slower our skin will age.

Tips:
1: Give up smoking if possible
2: Daily use of sunscreen would carry a lot of long lasting benefits (70% – 80% of wrinkles are said to be because of the sun)
3: Don’t over exfoliate your face (Don’t apply facials more than every 1-2 weeks)
4: Use a moisturiser that suits your skin type, e.g. If you have dry skin and you use moisturiser for oily skin it will not add enough moisture for your skin
5: Drink water (1-2 litres daily) this will keep you hydrated
6: Reduce sugar intake (helps on many levels)

We could have this section running for 10 pages easy, but we didn’t want to over load you with anti aging skin tips and kept it to the main central tips that would carry the most amount of benefits.

If you can just stick to these 6 simple tips you should notice an impact on your skin. Obviously as is always the case the earlier you can start the better for your skin.
