What Are Your Choices
For Natural Anti-Aging
Skin Care?
Can natural anti-aging skin care products turn back or slow the
progress of wrinkles, thinning or sagging skin. I don't know
about you but I would like to find out.
The next best solution to aging skin is advertised to us all the
time in magazines or television ads and it's hard to resist some
of the claims. After all who does not want less lines and wrinkles
or want their skin to have some of that same glow it had when we were younger.
Anti aging products are some of the most popular skin care products being made. While natural ingredients seem to be used very frequently this is an area where some chemical intervention is common and these products along with all skin care products
may contain harmful or even toxic ingredients.
Unfortunately, some of the big name companies who promote these products haven't signed the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and some still use animal testing for their ingredients and products.
A check through the Skin Deep Database from the EWG (this is a database of ingredients and products that rates their safety) showed
that many of the most popular anti aging skin care products received a high hazard rating. See nontoxic skin care for more info about what ingredients to watch out for in our skin care products.
A great solution is safe, natural anti-aging skin care
products and we are lucky to have so many choices available to
us. Lets' see if we can sort through some of our best options and find a skin care routine that works. One that keeps our skin
looking it's best.
Caring For Your Skin
As time passes our skin care needs change but our basic skin care
routine doesn't. We need to treat our skin well no matter what
our age and we start that by knowing our skin type, dry, normal,
oily plus sensitive and mature and following a skin care routine
based on this knowledge.
The Basics
- Daily
- Cleanse
- Tone
- Moisturize
- Protect
- Weekly or more often
- Exfoliate
- Facials and Masks
It could be this simple. Some of the best
dermatologists out there tell us it should be. We are trying so
hard to fight the aging process that we are trying just about any
new product which claims to work and it's scary the extremes some
of us choose. A simple easy to use and effective routine can be found by using natural anti-aging products.
Exfoliation
This is possibly one of the most important things you can do for
aging skin. The older we get our skin becomes slower at creating
new cells which give our skin a younger smoother look. When you
exfoliate your skin you help remove the dead skin cells on the
surface and encourage skin to more rapidly create new cells
for a more youthful appearance.
Natural options for face exfoliants come from lotions and scrubs to
brushes, cloths or other devises designed for removing dead skin
cells. Microdermabrasion is an example of this.
Save some money and make you own. With just a few simple ingredients that most of us have in our own kitchens you can make simple, fresh and effective
homemade exfoliants.
Make exfoliation a big part of your skin care routine and for best results make sure to do this at least once a week.
Natural Anti-Aging Creams and
Lotions
Once all those dead skin cells are removed your skin is ready
for some moisture to keep new cells plumped up. Creams and lotions made from natural ingredients can be an important part of any natural anti-aging skin care routine to help diminish fine lines and wrinkles and even to firm and tighten the skin.
An amazing array of ingredients like green tea,
pomegranate, fruit enzymes, essential oils, sea weed, vitamins,
minerals and more are being used in natural anti-aging skin care products.
Many women are seeing results with products that read more like a yummy recipe that uses fresh natural and even organic ingredients. Chemical ingredients that are currently being used for aging skin aren't the only answer or even the best answer to good anti aging skin care.
Know your anti aging ingredients and buy from companies that don't do animal testing.

Facial Exercises
Exercises for facial muscles have been around for a long time.
If you practice yoga you may already be familiar with some of the
facial poses but there are also other exercise programs developed
specifically to tighten sagging skin or smooth wrinkles.
There seems to be a big difference of opinion on their
effectiveness with many claiming excellent safe results and
others saying it doesn't really work and can even help exaggerate
wrinkles.
With no clear answers as to what is best, before you try facial
exercises read all you can and then decide. This could be an
inexpensive effective form of natural anti-aging skin care that improves the look of our skin but we need to understand the process.
Accupressure
This is a fascinating technique of applying gentle pressure to
specific points on the face and holding the pressure for a matter
of seconds. This technique, practiced for thousands of years in
China, tones and tightens the skin. Who knows it may even be an
inexpensive alternative to cosmetic surgery.
It is a safe simple process that can be completed in just minutes
a day but it is important to have a good understanding of how it
works. It's not complicated but the right pressure points must be chosen for effectiveness.
Many sources from books to the web provide info to make this
easily understandable.
No matter what form of natural anti-aging skin care when you are informed and choose with care you you will be assured that you are choosing something natural and I mean natural as it should be not just a vague word on label but truly natural ingredients to help our skin look it's best at whatever age.
