Hello mommy. . .
You must know that so many
anti-aging skincare treatments
available today. Age has a profound effect on skin. Age itself contributes to
skin's dullness, because as we age our bodies' regenerative processes slow
down. But there are many factors aside from just age that contribute to the
dullness of skin. These include diet, lack of sleep, deficiencies of vitamins
and other nutrients, and the use of or the misuse of skin care products.
Fatigue and stress are such an integral factor in many people's lives, but too
much of these can make us look older than we are and dull our skin. Alcohol and
smoking can add years to one's appearance as can exposure to the sun and wind.
Even genetics can contribute to the appearance of skin, and some people have
genes that don't hold back the years as well as others. Even make-up that is
often used to conceal the effects of age can exacerbate dull skin if it isn't
used correctly.
Fortunately, regardless of the cause of dull skin, there is
plenty that we can do to slow down and even reverse the effects that age has on
our skin. It is essential that we keep ourselves sufficiently hydrated. The
body is composed largely of water, but the level of water in our bodies
fluctuates throughout the day. Being sure to always drink enough healthy fluids
can have a significant impact on the skin.
Moisturizers will do wonders for skin. The feeling that skin
has dried out means that damage has already been done. Moisturizer should be
used daily, especially in the dry and cold weather. Moisturizer should also be
applied before make-up is put on. If make-up is applied to skin that hasn't
first had moisturizer applied to it, the skin will become dull.
Exercise is a
great anti-aging skin care
treatment. There is really no better way to enliven the skin than by living a
more active life. Perspiration during exercise helps to clean pores by flushing
out dirt that's trapped in them. It also helps the body slough off old dead
skin that can build up on our bodies. Exercise is also stimulating to the
glands in the skin that produce oils. These oils are circulated through the
layers of skin during exercise coating them and contributing to a healthy, more
youthful appearance.
There are many products available that can lessen and even
reverse the dullness that skin tends to show as we age. These products work by
restoring lost nutrients to the skin and by performing other important
functions. Many products contain gentle exfoliates that help to wash away dead
skin. When using exfoliates it is important that only mild abrasive are used
and that they are used with plenty of water. Harsher abrasives can cause damage
and result in acne. Products that contain aluminum oxide crystals can clean the
skin surface and remove dirt and dead skin cells. This can also contribute to a
more
youthfulappearance.
Most cosmetics, whether they are for cleaning or for
moisturizing are applied by massaging them into the skin. Massaging the skin
improves blood circulation. Also, facial muscles benefit greatly from regular
massages. Regularly massaging the face with facial creams and oils will not
only moisten the skin, but it will also help to improve the skin's appearance,
and tighten and strengthen the facial muscles.
Even steam can help liven up the skin. Hot steamy showers
are great for the skin, as are more intensive steam treatments that are
available. Steam can effectively clean out deep seated dirt, debris, and
make-up that can become imbedded in the skin Steam also opens up pores and
allows the skin to more effectively flush away toxins.
There are many factors that contribute to the dullness of
skin that comes with age, and there are many remedies as well. While it is
impossible to eliminate all the causes of dull skin, it is necessary to
minimize them whenever possible. Combining this with a variety of different
measures that slow down and reverse the effects of age on the
skin is the most effective form of anti-aging skin care treatment.
