One of the first and most prominent signs of aging is with your skin.
As the largest organ in your body it endured a lot of "punishment" with modern diets, creams and even pills.
As the most exposed part of your body is endures a lot being exposed to all the elements and daily exposure to the environment you live in.
Even though aging is something that we can't seem to control (yet) the fact remains that most people do not have to age nearly as fast as they do.
By just doing some basic things and doing it daily you really can help your skin and slow down the effects of aging significantly.
The first and most important thing is probably not what you think.
Diet.
The food you eat has an immense impact on the health of your skin.
I'm sure you've met people who have absolutely radiant skin and at the age of 40 their skin looks like they are 16.
These people usually have flawless diets.
Any diet that is rich in fatty and processed foods will invariably lead to poor skin.
On the other hand, a diet that is rich in fresh fruit and vegetables leads to healthy skin.
Its also important to have lot of essential fatty acids in your diet as these are considered to be the "good fats" that feed your skin.
Avoiding bad foods is one thing.
Avoiding some of the hazards that damage your skin is another.
Smoking is one of them.
People who smoke generally suffer from bad skin when they age.
In fact, smoking is considered to be the number one cause of premature aging.
It will leave your skin looking lifeless.
The sun is yet another culprit.
While we all love that bronze tan when we are young, it really does not look good when you reach your 50's as the sun really damages your skin in a way that cannot be repaired.
Anti aging skin care is something that has to start when you are in your 20's.
The damage you do to your skin today probably won't show until 10 years down the line.
Its never too late to start either.
You need to become aware of what you put into your body and what you expose your skin to.
Healthy skin that looks youthful and radiant is something that most of us have to work on.
take good care of your skin and it will take good care of you.
