Growing old is an inevitable natural process. There is hardly anything you can do stop it. You will not help but see gray hair and wrinkles colonize your head and skin respectively. Just like fashion, your skin too fades with time. Take a glance at the snaps you took about two decades ago. You get this pleasurable sensation of fright in you. Those big shoulder pads and huge hair just make you want to jump right of your skin. Although some of those things are not fashionable any more, you will always long for those youthful days and moments you enjoyed.
Today, you are overwhelmed by pressure to look young. As the years roll in, you see changes on your body, the most apparent being the ones on your skin. Time, pollution, and abusive habits damage your skins suppleness even more. You will see that your skin has lost the elastic feel it had when you were still young. More and more traces of fine lines, crows feet, and wrinkles will manifest on your skin. You need drastic solutions to stop the multiplication of these signs. One option is surgery. Many dread it though.
You may have sworn to do anything to look young, but not when it involves surgical procedures. Well, you could start taking some small practical steps, starting with your hair. Your hair loses its luster as you age, and worse still, its natural defenses get weaker. Find a conditioner that works to balance and refill the hair and scalp to its original glory. Buy a shampoo that revitalizes and stimulates the metabolism of your cells.
Next is your face. Endeavour not to get too sebaceous as this makes your face look sweaty and oily. Rather, put a few drops of moisturizing oils on your face regularly to suppress those wrinkles. Find products with collagen. This fibrous scleroprotein helps regenerate your skin at a cellular level. If well hydrated, your skin will glow in a pretty shot time. You will look more gorgeous if you applied some on your neck too.
Yellow teeth make you look older. It is even worse for smokers, as their teeth appear even darker. The best way to whiten your teeth is the natural way. Brush them using baking soda mixed with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. Do this for not less than three or four times a week. Use your toothpaste as well.
Remember, your body too needs to be taken care of. Remove the dead skin cells by scrubbing at least once a week. Apply lotion to block in the moisture after the shower. Use lotions with vitamins C to help fix damaged skin cells.
Whatever your options are, look for products that come with sunblock. You dont want to take any chances with the UV rays, especially now that they are dangerous the most. Your efforts to slow down the clock will be in vain if you recklessly expose yourself to the sun. The fairest will always be you if you glance at yourself in the mirror. Dont wait until its too late to start appreciating and taking care of what you have been endowed with.
