Do you feel frustrated with your search for the perfect anti aging product? The truth is, many of us are still looking for that one miracle treatment that will give us the supple, young-looking skin we so desperately want. While there may not be one particular lotion or potion out there to end all signs of aging skin, there are things that you can do in combination that can help improve the state of your skin.
Some tell-tale signs that point to aging skin are:
• fine wrinkles
• transparent or “thin” skin
• sagging skin
• dry, often itchy skin
• rough skin texture
• uneven skin tone or dullness of skin
• blotches and “age spots”
Some people find wrinkles or various fine lines appearing early on in life, while others are fortunate enough to not see a single one until later on. Dermatologists aren’t 100% sure what causes people to age sooner or later in life, but the fact is that our skin is unique to our bodies through hereditary and habits. Smoking, exposure to the sun or tanning beds, and certain diets has been known to increase one’s chances for early aging. So, that leaves the question: What aging skin treatment can help prevent or treat signs of aging?
There are many anti-aging supplements available, so you might want to evaluate your situation before you fork over a fortune on products that may not work for you. How old are you? Have you been having problems with your hormone levels? If a flux in your hormones is causing your skin to age, there is a good chance that your skin will benefit from a hormone supplement as well as a CoQ10 supplement. CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant found in every cell in the body, which helps to keep “free radical” cells from damaging our healthy cells. The peak years of CoQ10 production are between the ages of 19 and 21, therefore as we get older, our body’s production of CoQ10 drastically decreases.
If you’re on the younger side of the spectrum and have ruled out the possibility of hormonal interference with your skin, you may want to consider anti-aging vitamins. There are many vitamin supplements available that can help rejuvenate your skin, not only making your skin appear more youthful, but also giving it a healthy, natural glow. Vitamins C, E, A, K, and B complex are excellent ones to start off with. As mentioned before, you can’t go wrong with a CoQ10 supplement as well. You’ll want to get these vitamins in a supplement form if you can, as it’s always best to start perking up your skin from the inside out. You might find that combining a vitamin supplement with an anti wrinkle cream that contains vitamins A, C, E, and Aloe Vera make an excellent anti-aging regimen.
Remember that your skin will ultimately reflect your overall health, therefore you can also benefit from eating a healthy diet and getting a moderate amount of exercise. Aging is a natural process, but we can help ease the signs of aging by taking good care of our bodies and our skin. So try a few supplements in combination with a good day and night cream. Wash your skin daily with a mild cleanser, apply a gentle toner (or use natural witch hazel), and always keep your skin well hydrated.
