Few secrets you must know about anti-aging skin care if you want to get rid of your wrinkles.
None of us want wrinkle skin! We all want to keep a youthful appearance. Our skin is the most obvious evidence of aging. As
we age, the inevitable effects of sun, environmental conditions and lifestyle begin to take their toll on the skin.
So what can we do? Here are some anti aging skin care secrets you can put to work today. The key to our strategy is to
proactively slow aging. Unfortunately, it's impossible to stop us from aging but
slow down the aging process is possible and easy to do.
Herbalists use a holistic, or whole body approach, when building an anti aging skin care strategy. The idea is that the
apparent problem is usually only a symptom, not the cause. This is particularly the case in problems of the skin. By treating
the underlying causes of aging skin, you can actually add years to your life.
In the natural process of aging, skin loses elasticity, gravity pulls loose skin downward, and wrinkles appear. This process
can be significantly slowed. Many skin care specialists believe one day this
process can even be reversed but as for now all we can do is slow down
the aging process.
Good nutrition is essential to any anti aging skin care program.
We are living in a fast-paced society. Therefore, it's difficult to get all the nutrients your body needs for
optimum health through diet alone. Supplements are often necessary to ensure adequate nutrition.
There are many inexpensive herbs and nutrients we can use to restore and maintain healthier and more youthful looking skin.
 If your health allows a short-duration juice fast, try it. Research shows that a short fast activates a specific gene that
repairs DNA. Reducing calories has a similar effect.

Resveratrol, a molecule contained in red wine, as a supplement. Resveratrol has been shown to reverse aging, as recently
published in Scientific American. Folic acid and resveratrol act in much the same way.
Other important nutrients in any anti aging skin care program are Vitamins A, C, E and zinc. These, in correct proportions
and quantity, will restore elasticity and a supple, softer appearance to the skin.
These vitamins not only good for achieving a beautiful skin but also a
good source to remove wrinkles. If you buy an anti aging cream make sure
to look for these.
Vitamin E oil can be applied topically to crows feet, forehead, lip lines, and other problem areas with remarkable results.
The easiest method is to pierce the Vitamin E gel cap and squeeze the oil directly on the skin. It's quite sticky, but if you
do this at bedtime, it's well absorbed by morning. Vitamin E is also effective on scars, which will disappear over time.
Avocado, jojoba, and almond oils are all excellent moisturizers, found in most health food stores. Applied to the skin on a
daily basis brings wonderful results in just a couple of weeks. You'll see the difference.
Papaya is a natural skin healer, used during the Civil War as a dressing for wounds. Papaya leaves are both antiseptic and
promote new cell growth. Papaya is available in tablet form. For a soothing face mask, grind several tablets into a powder,
adding a little water to make a paste. Apply directly to the skin, and leave on for about half an hour before rinsing off.
