Cosmetics, cosmecueticals (ways of treating the skin and
making it look nicer by applications that act like
pharmaceuticals) and other beauty aids of the same ilk may
well be effective when it comes to anti-aging skin care.
However, they may be quite expensive and do they really get
to the root cause of premature ageing and skin disorders
such as acne, spots, psoriasis, eczema and dermatitis?
Let me put it like this. You put your car into a garage
because it's not running well. The mechanic carefully beats
the bonnet into a nicer shape, paints over it, then
re-lacquers the surface and finally gives it a nice waxy
sheen. He then tells you your car has been fixed. Indeed
you are delighted with the look at it and you drive away
from the garage a satisfied customer. ...Until you find
that the fault still persists.
This is an absurd way of dealing with the car problem
because the mechanic never got to the underlying root
cause: that which is below the bonnet, the engine! This is
an analogy that can be likened to the way in which many
people are being treated for anti-aging skin care and skin
disorders. 'The route cause of the problem lies beneath
the skin!
Treating the underlying root causes.
Whether it's through premature ageing or by disorders,
poorly skin can manifest a result of:
1. Poor nutrition 2. Toxicity 3. Stress 4. A lack of
exercise
So anti-aging skin care and the prevention of disorders can
be very effectively handled by.
Good Nutrition
-Take foods containing plenty of vitamin C. This has the
effect of forming good connective tissue, which is capable
of preventing wrinkling and is immune system building for
fighting infection.
- Get a good supply of omega-3 fats. This is found, for
example, in fish oils or flax seed oils. Be sure to get a
good quality supply, such as cod liver oil. Omega-3 helps
to keep skin fats normal and retains moisture. This is a
good way to prevent inflammation; skin cracks and helps
prevent disorders such as acne, spots, psoriasis,
dermatitis and eczema.
- Eat a range of fresh fruits and vegetables, preferably
organic. Nuts are good for the skin, since they are rich in
vitamin E. Remember, vitamins, enzymes and minerals act
synergistically and all serve to effectively slow down the
ageing process and prevent skin disorders.
-Keep insulin levels reasonable constant. Don't let them
fluctuate too much by meal skipping or overeating...
-Get around 10-15 minutes of sunshine a day.
Avoid
-Junk food. It causes ageing and body toxicity. Junk food,
for example, is capable of giving rise to oily skin: The
sebaceous glands produce sebatin during toxicity. They then
get clogged up with dead skin and micro-organisms,
resulting in pimples and spots. Don't ever underestimate
the potential damage that junk food is capable of.
Toxicity
-Avoid environmental toxins. Use chemical-free lotions.
-Smoking. This causes free radical damage to the surface of
the body's cells, or the DNA or RNA inside. This can lead
to ageing or serious illness.
Stress
-Look into ways of managing stress.
-Sleep well
-Avoid tensions, particularly around the facial muscles.
Acupuncture is a good form of making the facial muscles
relax for reversing the ageing process.
Exercise
-About half an hour a day is recommended.
