AntiAging Skin Care

Poor choices of antiaging skin care products are one of the major contributors of premature aging of our skin. Many are made with inferior and questionable ingredients. Some of the antiaging skin care products suffocate the skin and inhibit the ability to function properly.

Did you know that your skin is a reflection of the overall health of your body and is the largest organ of the body?

Do you realize that the cosmetic and skin care industry is one of the largest advertisers on TV and in the magazines? Yet we place our trust in the health of our skin and our antiaging skin care products with an industry that continues to sell us ineffective and harmful products.

Why is it so important to have good antiaging skin care and outer nutrition to protect and pamper our skin?

Many things that you apply to your skin can be detected in the blood stream within 20 minutes. Take a look at the increasing amount of products that use medicinal skin patches to treat a variety of ailments; such as, nicotine patches, chemo patches, Dramamine patches, hormonal patches and so on.As we discover and learn more about ingredients, it becomes apparent just how important it is for our skin to be healthy.

There are external sources that impair our skin's ability to function normally and it results in health problems and premature aging. Some of these problems are:

• Caffeine is a diuretic and dehydrates the skin. Drink 3 glasses of filtered water for every cup of coffee, tea or cola consumed.

• Smoking is a dehydrator and it reduces oxygen flow to the skin.

• Soap can dehydrate the skin and the ingredients used to hold its' shape actually clogs pores.

• Too much sun exposure can damage the many layers of our skin and promote skin cancer.

Back in the 1960's the government saw that there were a lot of problems with skin care because people would get bacterial infections from the skin care not being properly preserved. So in the 1960's the government said you have to put preservatives in skin care.

The two most common preservatives are formaldehyde and parabens.

And back in the 1960's we use to think that skin was a barrier and we now know it is a conductor and that is why the patches that we mentioned above work so well. So we want to be very careful with what we put on our skin because it actually goes into the body, as we said earlier, within 20 minutes.
