How To Put Together An Effective Anti Aging Program For Your Skin

Vanity is a effective motivator! Regardless of our age, we all aim to look our absolute best and have acquaintances tell us how impressive we look for our age. Perhaps then, the thing that frightens us most is aging before our time!
There are abundant examples everywhere of people ultimately conquering their aging process. But life is built on dualities – tall and short, far and close, cold and hot and of course ‘young’ cannot exist without ‘old’. In spite of our fearless anti aging efforts, the discouraging reality of twenty first century living is that most of us ARE LOOKING OLD BEFORE OUR TIME!
Civilized life brings with it a daily attack of hazardous environmental and dietary toxins and stressors which negatively impact on our health. The scientifically established consequence of this has been a speeding up of our aging!
It’s called PREMATURE AGING and it’s at the center of why our appearance is giving way well before time. Premature aging brings with it the onset of, so-called, ‘old age’ degenerative disease. You don’t have to look far to see the proof and to understand that these diseases are no longer applicable to just old age!
But living in our modern world also brings the technology and knowledge we need to successfully address premature aging.
I worked in the nutritional supplement and skin care industries so I know what’s what! My knowledge of nutritional science is quite advanced – better than most peoples and I have a number of highly qualified experts which I can consult at any time.
Now, let’s get straight to the root of this subject. To be effective with your anti aging efforts you cannot rely on a one part approach! Highly effective results come only from putting in place a three part system. This is how you will create / maintain a young-looking appearance AND enjoy your twilight years with no negative health conditions or degenerative disease!
An efficient anti aging skin care system must have three crucial parts:
** Lifestyle
** Nutrition
** Topical Skin Care
LIFESTYLE:
This component is obvious. Your lifestyle effects to a huge degree your appearance as you age. If you are constantly stressed, and smoke and drink heavily for example, you will absolutely age more quickly and probably end up with all the diseases you don’t want.
Exercise is a key component of your anti aging program but only at a moderate level. People ,especially in their 20′s, 30′s and 40′s go overboard, thinking more is better. Heavy exercise raises oxygen intake which therefore speeds up the formation of free radicals – one of the four requisite causes of human aging. This will only serve to increase your aging process rather than slow down and normalize it. You need to extensively raise your antioxidant intake if you want to cancel out this increased free radical production.
NUTRITION:
It’s a sad state of affairs because processed food accounts for a total 90 % of the food supply in the USA. Processed food in a comparison with fresh food has low nutritional value, missing many crucial nutrients including necessary vitamins/minerals, fiber and so on.
If the right quantity of nutrients is not taken in on a daily basis, the conditions which allow the beginning of degenerative disease are are created. Your skin WILL LOSE ELASTIN AND COLLAGEN and as these vital skin components decline your skin takes on an aging look. Too little supply of anti-oxidants from a diet largely full of processed food will also have a destructive impact on your skin.
To counter all of this you require an ‘inside out’ strategy. This is achieved both by improved dietary intake and effective nutritional supplements. The leading nutritional health supplements contain a sizable range of key nutrients to help you take in all the nutrients which you body requires to operate properly and optimally.
Regardless of whether you use supplements, you must eat a lot of fresh and if possible uncooked foods. any manner of cooking destroys essential enzymes therefore, raw foods give you more of the nutrients your health depends on.
The grade of supplements I’m talking about are not regular multi vitamins and minerals. I mean elite multi nutrient science-based health supplements. I believe this the wisest ‘supporting’ anti aging self-health-care action you can use.
BUT, to avoid being fooled by illusory, mis-leading marketing spin, you need to know the key ingredients in the most effective nutritional health supplement formulas. (visit my website: nutritional-supplement-truths.com to find the exact answers.)
Skin Care Creams
Anti aging skin care products are the most simple form of action to take to avoid the visible and exterior effects of aging. BUT, if you don’t incorporate the diet and lifestyle parts, topical skin care can only function similar to a band aid (albeit an important band aid!).
Consumers however get largely taken advantage of because the elite companies are professionals in creating totally effective marketing presentations, capable of shaping potential customers thinking and seducing them into purchasing ridiculously over priced products which can never meet their marketing claims.
The most fundamental obstruction consumers face is that these resourceful marketing presentations have educated us into accepting that the more high-priced a product is, the better it has to be.
The reality is that this is NOT TRUE!
The fact of the matter is that usually the more popular and expensive a particular brand is – the highly effective ingredients are included in smaller amounts, considerably below those used in successful clinical trials. The famous skin care companies simply have too many fixed costs from their advertising and distribution methods and immense pressure from shareholders for enlarged profits (which plainly can’t be met if the best, clinically effective ingredients are included in their formulas (in effective dose amounts).
So, what must we look for in a skin care formula, based on the best of the nutritional sciences ?
1:- That it is EFFECTIVE in creating evidentanti aging results because its formula has the fundamental ingredients to deal with ALL THREE OF THE ELEMENTARY CAUSES OF SKIN AGING:
** Loss of collagen and elastin
** Decreased levels of hyaluronic acid
** Oxidation via the action of free radicals
THIS IS THE KEY – AND IT’S ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL!!
2:- SAFE INGREDIENTS !
A high-priced price tag is no guarantee that a skin care product isn’t going to harm your health (including lots of years in the future when it’s too late). Here’s a understandable example of this: – one of the world’s most well acknowledged, leading international brands (name begins with ‘C’ ) contains a PESTICIDE in its formula! That’s completely true!
Now, on to all those beautiful smelling fragrances. Simply stated, they are hurtful chemicals which you must stay away from!
Why? Because the term ‘Fragrance’ can refer to up to 4000 individual ingredients – many of which are poisonous and/or carcinogenic! The long term influence of these seeping into your blood stream is still unknown. Are you prepared to take the risk?
Now, we come to PARABENS!
These are disturbing chemicals used as strong preservatives in the skincare and pharmaceutical industries! Studies advocate they might produce cancer and impede with your body’s endocrine system, as well as creating allergic reactions and skin rashes. The cream of the crop brands use parabens as there is a drawn out lead time from product production to day of purchase and also because they are low-cost. The natural alternatives are extensively more pricey so they’re not used.
One added safety safeguard to act upon: make the time to check whether a skincare manufacturer is a participant of the Compact for Safe Cosmetics.
So, what you’ve just read are the foremost criteria to look for under the ‘topical skin care’ segment of your anti aging skin care system. Take note that the bulk of skin care products DO NOT MEET all (or any) of these criteria. Gratefully there are some which DO and price in the neighborhood a third of the elite big name brands.
(In case you’re interested – the skincare products my family and I use are manufactured by the Xtend-Life company based in New Zealand (naturally they pass all criteria from above).
The main actives of their flagship products are the BIG THREE (CLINICALLY PROVEN ) ANTI AGING INGREDIENTS (the big name companies are currently reformulating to include these within the next 12 months):
** CYNERGY TK
** Nanobelle CoenzymeQ10
** Phytessence Wakame
