Anti-aging, the act of dramatically slowing down the intrinsic factors that biologically our bodies all progress through, resulting in the physical signs and changes of age. Anti-aging skin care is your best chance for glowing skin longevity!
Skin aging looks different for everyone; however, it should be noted that this natural degradation of cellular function begins around the age of 30 years old!
In terms of the signs of aging of the skin, the biggest and most obvious sign involves naturally reduced production levels of collagen and elastin, which over time leads to skin sagging, loss of elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles.
Additional visual changes of the skin with age include heightened pigmentation areas, 'age spots', a thinning of the external skin layer, a tougher or dryer appearance and a general irregular skin tone or coloration, including the appearance fine surface capillaries.
Anti-aging skin care therefore should begin from around 30 years of age, with preventative measures always your best fighting chance, then to cure your aged skin concerns later on!
When choosing skincare products, the most embraced anti-aging skincare ingredients include superior forms of our skin's prime antioxidant vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E.
Each vitamin plays a different supporting role for our skin's cells and their functions, however the one key feature that each vitamin provides our skin is their powerful antioxidant properties. Ultimately, they help our skin at a cellular level by providing protection from outside threats, such as UV sun rays, environmental toxins and even excessive sugar molecules. All targeting our skin and body cells, these free radicals have great potential to cause damage and breakdown our vital cellular structures over time.
Anti-aging skin care should also extend beyond your bathroom vanity! Your daily lifestyle and diet choices can make a huge impact on aging your body and skin.
To reduce your diet and lifestyle footprint on skin aging, consider significantly your intake of inflammatory foods:
Highly processed, convenience, take away foods
High GI (glycemic index) and refined sugars
Trans Fats / Processed Oils

Chronic Stress
Erratic Sleep Patterns
Sedentary Inactive Lifestyle
Toxic Hobbies, Habits and Relationships
Bringing positive daily rituals that nourish your mind, your body and your soul, creates a soothing, balancing, protective and long-term beneficial outcome for your skin, and the rate at which it shows an aged appearance!
