Skin Care

Vanity is a overwhelming motivator! Apart from our age, we all long to look our complete best and have others tell us how fresh we look for our age. Perhaps then, the thing that terrifies us most is losing our appearance 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!

21ST century 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 this in action and to understand that these diseases are no longer relevant to just old age!

But 21st century life also brings the technology and knowledge we need to successfully prevent premature aging.

I worked in the nutritional supplement and skin care industries so I know the facts! My knowledge of nutritional science is very sophisticated – better than most peoples and I have a number of world renowned experts which I can speak to at any time.

So, here’s the core of this article. To be successful in your anti aging efforts you cannot rely on a ONE track program! Extremely effective results happen only from putting in place a three part method. This is how you will create / sustain a younger appearance AND steer clear of all the ‘old age’ diseases throughout your life.

An effective anti aging skin care system can only be created using these three measures:

** Lifestyle

** Nutritional Intake

** 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 have a tendency to go way too hard, thinking more is better. Heavy exercise increases oxygen intake which in turn 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 when compared with fresh food has low nutritional value – missing many life sustaining nutrients including necessary vitamins/minerals, fiber and so on.

If the right amount of nutrients is not taken in on a daily basis, the conditions which allow the start of degenerative disease are put in place. Your skin WILL LOSE ELASTIN AND COLLAGEN and as these decrease your skin takes on an aged appearance. An insufficient supply of anti-oxidants from a diet high in processed food will also have a destructive effect 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.

Supplements or not, you must eat a lot of fresh and preferably raw foods. Cooking destroys crucial enzymes so, a diet based to a large degree on raw foods is the answer.

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 undertake.

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 basic form of action to take to avoid the visible and exterior effects of aging. BUT, if you don’t bring in the diet and lifestyle parts, topical skin care can only perform 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 biggest problem consumers face is that these cunning marketing presentations have ‘educated’ society into believing that the more expensive a product is, the more effective it must be!

The truth is that this is Incorrect!

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 obviousanti aging results because its formula has the central ingredients to address ALL THREE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL CAUSES OF SKIN AGING:

** Loss of collagen and elastin

** Lower levels of hyaluronic acid

** Oxidation through the action of free radicals

THIS IS THE KEY – AND IT’S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL!!

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 injurious chemicals which you must keep away from!

Why? Because the term ‘Fragrance’ can refer to up to 4000 separate ingredients – many of which are toxic 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 harsh CHEMICALS used as powerful preservatives in the skincare and pharmaceutical industries! Studies suggest they might bring about cancer and interfere with your body’s endocrine system, as well as creating allergic reactions and skin rashes. The cream of the crop brands use parabens since there is a extensivelead time from product manufacture to time of purchase and also for the reason that they are extremely inexpensive. The natural alternatives are significantly more expensive 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 vital criteria to look for under the topical skin care portion of your anti aging skin care system. Take note that the bulk of skin care products DO NOT MEET every one (or often any) of these criteria. Happily there are a number which DO and charge roughly a third of the elite big name brands.

(In case you’re interested – the skincare products my family and I enjoy are manufactured by the Xtend-Life company based in New Zealand (naturally they pass all criteria from above).

The chief actives of their flagship products are the BIG THREE (CLINICALLY ESTABLISHED) ANTI AGING INGREDIENTS (the big name companies are currently reformulating to bring these in within the next 12 months):

** CYNERGY TK

** Nanobelle CoenzymeQ10

** Phytessence Wakame
