By Marcia Cross


If you have started to notice the pass of time in your face and now have a complexion that is sagging, with crow's feet or maybe marionette lines, you are not the only one. Aging skin is one of the consequences of getting older, no one is free from it, but there are certainly many things you can try to always look your best. You should be concentrating your efforts on three areas: an effective skin care program, a healthy diet and an active lifestyle.

1- In order for your skin to look young as you age, you need to take skin care seriously. Fortunately there are many beauty products that are going to help to diminish the effects of aging and improve the overall appearance of your complexion.

2- If you have dry skin, chances are your wrinkles are more noticeable. To help with a dry complexion make sure you use a good moisturizer with humectants ingredients. These will keep the skin hydrated by taking water from the air. Drinking water and using a hydrating mask twice per week should also form part of your fight against dry skin and wrinkles.

3- One of the reasons the skin begins to sag and form wrinkles is the loss of collagen and elastin. These proteins when plentiful maintain the skin plump and elastic, but as we age their production diminish and the decadence of the skin begins. A good way to boost collagen and elastin production is by making use of appropriate skin care products and treatments that will provide the skin with a younger appearance.

4- If you want to preserve the skin younger and free from blemishes, lines and wrinkles you must eat a healthy and varied diet. Consuming foods with antioxidants is the way to go to help the body fight disease and aging skin. Include antioxidants such as coloured fruits and vegetables in your diet and improve your health and your complexion.

5- Skin care products with antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin, E and vitamin A help with aging skin, boosting collagen production and improving the skin's texture. Another antioxidant product you shouldn't be without is green tea. Green tea is packed with antioxidants and can dramatically improve your complexion. An added benefit is that the ingredients found in green tea help to speed up the metabolism and melt fat in the body.

6- Using a weekly facial mask will get rid of dead cells, improving the skin's texture. To make a face mask at home full of antioxidant power mix two spoons of red wine with two spoons of honey. Apply over the areas you want to rejuvenate such as face and neck and leave for fifteen minutes. Wine contains resveratrol which is said to one of the most potent antioxidants and honey has moisturizing and anti-bacterial properties. A winning combination!

7- You need to remain active through your life if you want to have a healthy body and skin. Try to practice some type of exercise every day to keep your joints supple and the weight off. You should chose an activity to practice depending on your age and your fitness status. You can go to salsa classes or any other type of dance. You could practice your favourite sport or just go for a walk. Just do something and your health will thank you for it.

There are more steps not included here that you could follow too to boost your health and the overall appearance of the skin. Two very important things that you must follow too, is to stop smoking and protect the skin with sunscreen daily. Your quality of life will improve if you make the effort of following these tips.
