Beauty Tips: How to Avoid premature aging

Aging is imminent and no one can avoid it, even with the presence of high technology treatments like facelift, botox, etcetera, aging will really occur. But the good news is, we can slow it down a little bit. How?Well, with our lifestyle and habits.

Here are the Best Things to be avoided in order to prevent premature aging:

SUN EXPOSURE - Sun damage is the number one cause of premature aging. The heat of the sun is so aggressive now that people should need extra protection when going outdoor. Ultraviolet radiation can penetrate even during cloudy weather because only ozone layer has the capacity to shield it but because ozone layer is greatly damage, people need to wear sunblock all the time, and yes, even during cloudy weather. The very basic beauty regimen is wearing sunblock, choose skincare that contains SPF 20, but when you are going to the beach choose a stronger SPF content  like 30 or 40.

SUGARY AND STARCHY FOODS - Too much sugary foods badly damage the collagen in the skin. Collagen is the responsible of the skin's shiny, firmer and young pigments. when blood sugar levels are high, glycation occurs, this process hardens the collagen that leads to wrinkles and sagging of the skin. Starchy foods like bread, cake and muffins, contain carbohydrates which break into sugar when introduce in the body system. As we age, the collagen strength of our skin tends to diminish, so the best thing to do now is discard chocolates, cakes, ice cream and other sugary and starchy foods.

SMOKING AND ALCOHOL - Smoking and alcohol are both extremely dangerous to one's health, it triggers many chronic illnesses like hypertension, cardiovascular disorder and cancer. Aside from diseases, smoking and alcohol largely contribute to premature aging. It ruins good cells and collagen and build toxins in the system, it blocks nutrients and deprives the brain from oxygen supply. Alcohol is one of the sources of calories and the poorest source among the four (other sources of calories are fats, carbohydrates and protein). Unlike other foods (alcohol is a kind of food actually), alcohol does not pass to our digestive system, instead, it goes directly to our blood stream and travels fast to our brain. Women at the childbearing stage are admonished not to smoke nor drink alcohol as it stays in the body for longer years, it potentially blocks folate  that eventually leads to birth defects.

COMMERCIAL SKINCARE - Application of too much commercial skincare can potentially damage our skin. Skincare products that are chemical formulated will promote the accumulation of wrinkles and other skin damages. Choose organic products instead. Soap and other skincare with natural ingredients can help avoid the early signs of premature wrinkles, dark spots and skin blemishes. Organic soap contains deep conditioning and moisturising ingredients that protect the pigments of the skin from damaging. It contains natural glycerin, a skin moisturising agent that is taken away in commercial soap products because it can be sold separately.  Unrefined Shea butter, Jojoba oil, Olive oil, Honey, Milk, Grapeseed and Oats are the best natural ingredients that help make the skin very smooth, soft, silkier, deeply moisturised and young-looking.

THE BEST REMEDIES:

Maintain a healthy diet and choose to eat foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants like Carrots, Avocado, Grapes, Flaxseeds, Oatmeal, Spinach, Tomato, all types of berries and yogurt. Drink milk and fruit juice everyday. Choose organic skin products that contain natural ingredients.

  1. These tips are very important for any woman because most of us don't know what can cause damage to our skin.
    Choosing the right skin care product is another problem that most women have.Since the botox Ottawa trend is increasing I was wondering if this treatment can't be used starting a certain age to prevent aging??
