The Best Anti-Aging Skin Care for Women

September 30, 2010 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

Like the rest of your body, your skin ages with the passage of time. However, unlike your internal organs and skeletal system, the health of your skin is a part of your body that others can see. Keeping your skin healthy and attractive requires some basic techniques. Your skin-care routine may change as you age, resulting in a skin-care regimen that focuses on anti-aging techniques and products. Although nothing stops the passage of time, proper skin care can keep your skin looking its best.

Like the rest of your body, your skin ages with the passage of time. However, unlike your internal organs and skeletal system, the health of your skin is a part of your body that others can see. Keeping your skin healthy and attractive requires some basic techniques. Your skin-care routine may change as you age, resulting in a skin-care regimen that focuses on anti-aging techniques and products. Although nothing stops the passage of time, proper skin care can keep your skin looking its best.

Protection

Regardless of your age, focusing on preventing further problems can enhance the health and appearance of your skin. Limit your exposure to sunlight, especially during the middle of the day when the sun is most intense. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen if you must go outside in the bright sunlight. Apply your sunscreen about 30 minutes before you go outdoors. Apply more sunscreen every two hours, after swimming or after activities that cause you to sweat. Wear a hat with a large brim to shade your face. Select makeup products that contain sunscreen protection.

Extinguish the Flame

Smoking can make your skin look older and contribute to the formation of wrinkles, according to the Mayo Clinic. This activity causes the tiny blood vessels in your skin to narrow, decreasing the flow of blood and depleting your skin of nutrients and oxygen. The damage to your tissue’s elastin and collagen can contribute to wrinkles.

Moisturize

You may notice that your skin becomes drier as the years pass. According to the National Institute on Aging, older people may experience dry skin on their arms and legs. Help reduce the appearance of dry skin by using moisturizers, staying hydrated and reducing your levels of stress. Bathe with warm water, rather than hot water. Use a gentle soap or cleanser to avoid causing additional dryness.

Beauty Creams

Although many products claim to possess anti-aging ingredients, they may do little to improve your skin and keep it looking young. The Mayo Clinic suggests using products that contain retinol, hydroxy acids or kinetin, a plant fiber. These products may help neutralize free radicals, exfoliate the upper layer of skin and stimulate the production of collagen. These can also reduce the appearance of uneven pigmentation, a condition that may cause you to look older than you like.
