Although there are different kinds of treatments,
procedures and surgery that can assist in improving the look of
your skin, it is important that you look after your skin to start
with. If you are unhappy with how gravity, the sun and everything
else seems to be changing your skin's appearance, here are some
tips and facts from DermatologyCare.CA that will assist you:
EXERCISE: Although exercise is
vital to your health and great skin, it won't change the structure
of your skin as it gets older. The look of your skin is determined
mostly by genetics and sun exposure.
COSMETICS: As you age you need
to use both lighter colored cosmetics and lighter hair colors. These
are more flattering to your skin tone and can keep you looking and
feeling younger.
MENOPAUSE: As you go through
menopause, it's very common to find that the skincare products you
once relied on are no longer as effective. For example, the hormonal
changes associated with menopause often leave skin feeling drier
than before. Try a richer moisturizer to see if it makes a difference.
SUNBEDS: Contrary to popular
belief, sunbeds are not a safer way to tan. Sunbeds emit UVA rays
and causing tanning and aging of the skin .They may also be important
in the development of melanoma. If you're using a sunbed, you're
accelerating the aging of your skin and increasing your risk of
skin cancer.
LIPSTICK: Did you know that your
lipstick helps your lips look younger and protects them? It's true.
Using lipstick, helps protect your lips from harmful rays. It's
one of the reasons men are more apt to get lip cancer - so men slap
on the lip protection!
YOUR EYES: Don't forget your
eyes! Long-term sun exposure can lead to cataracts and age-related
macular degeneration. So as you head out the door, be sure to grab
your sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, or both!
WATER: Drinking water is not
enough! While many people believe that drinking a lot of water will
help keep their skin smooth and supple, in truth, water consumption
has only a small effect. A better approach to keeping your skin
at its best is to drink plenty of water and use a moisturizer daily.
SLEEP: Get your beauty rest!
It's actually true - a good night's sleep is one of the best ways
to keep your skin looking its best. For a healthy and glowing complexion,
get plenty of sleep, maintain a well-balanced diet and exercise
regularly.
CELLULITTE: Hate your cellulite?
You are not alone. Drinking water and exercising unfortunately doesn't
make it go away although having a less body fat does help. There
are creams and procedures available that can help reduce the appearance
of cellulite. Talk to your dermatologist if it really bugs you.
