| How to Keep Your Skin Young and Healthy |
 |
| By Knut Holt |

| The aging process of the skin is caused by known factors. Skin aging
can in great extend be avoided by simple means and aging symptoms in
the skin can also often be cured by the same measures. Here are some
practical anti-aging measures for the skin presented: PROTECTION
AGAINST THE SUN
You should enjoy the sunshine with reason. Some daily exposure from
sun-rays on the skin will not hurt. On the contrary, it will in fact do
your skin good. The skin gets a better colour, and it gets somewhat
thicker and more robust. Massive daily exposure, however, has a very
disturbing influence on the skin, and will cause all types of skin
problems: Wrinkles, brown spots, discolouring, very thin or very thick
skin, dry skin and cancer. To keep your skin young and healthy in the
long run, you must protect your skin when you are outside for longer
times.
TAKING LECITHIN
You should take some supplement of lecithin or a product containing
lecithin. Lecithin is a fatty substance. It is an important constituent
of all body tissues. It consists of glycerol, fatty acids, cholin,
ethanolamine, inositol and serine. The four latter constituents are
working tools used in nerve signal transmission and in tissue
regeneration. Lecithin is especially important for the function and
regeneration of nerve tissue and the skin. Lecithin also has a
cleansing effect upon the skin. It helps the sebaceous gland to produce
cleansing secretions. Taking a daily dose of lecithin alone or a
product containing lecithin will greatly help to keep the skin young
and regenerate the skin from damage.
EATING FISH AND SEA-FOOD
A dish of fish or seafood at least every second day has proven to keep
the skin in good condition and help the skin to avoid sun damage. You
should include fat fish, since fat fish has an especially high content
of vitamin A and D, important for the skin health.
USE OF PLANT-OILS UPON YOUR SKIN
Using a topical product containing certain types of plant oils or even
using some of the pure oils upon the skin daily will make the skin
smooth and ease regeneration from damage. Oils that have these effects
are: Evening Primrose Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Borage Oil, Soy Oil, Wheat
Germ Oil and Olive oil. Pure olive oil of good quality can be used
alone upon the skin after the daily wash. The amount needed is very
little. Use exactly as much that is needed to saturate the skin and
make it smooth.
CONSUMING OLIVE OIL AND OTHER NATURAL OILS
Using olive oil in your dishes will help to keep your skin young, and
help the skin to regenerate from damage and aging symptoms. Olive oil
contains much mono-unsaturated acids and much of vitamin E. However,
your skin will also need essential poly-unsaturated fatty acids.
Therefore you should also consume some amount of other types of oils or
supplements containing poly-unsaturated oils especially valuable for
your skin. Other plant oils with fatty acids beneficial for your skin
are: Evening Primrose Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Borage Oil, Soy Oil, and
Wheat Germ Oil.
TAKING CONJUGATED LINOLAEIC ACID (CLA)
CLA is a fatty acid produced in the stomach of cows by bacteria, taken
up into the cow?s blood-stream and secreted into the milk. This acid
has shown to help the skin regenerate from damage and keep the skin in
a juvenile state. Taking CLA as a supplement may help you get finer
skin, and also help you to keep your weight at a wanted level. Fat milk
and diary products also contain CLA and can improve your skin health.
However, great amounts of fat diary products are not good for your
heart and circulation.
THE DAILY CARE OF YOUR SKIN
The skin should be washed at least once every day with a mild soap or
cleansing product. Men should shave during the wash or after the wash,
depending upon the shaving method used. Then you should use some oil or
cream to protect your skin and to make it smooth and elastic. Use a
product containing natural oils with anti-aging properties. If you
suffer from acne or other skin problems, the cleansing product and the
protecting cream should contain ingredients to treat this problem.
Before exposing your skin to heavy sunshine for a longer time, you
should also use some additional product with sun-shield. If you have
used a product with sun-shield or make-up during the day, this should
be washed away in the evening, and a new layer of protecting cream laid
on.
More basic washing and care that that outlined here, is not necessary,
and may in fact damage your skin. The same is true for heavy use of
make-up. DON\'T SMOKE
Smoking has a very negative effect upon the skin in the long run, and
will cause a lot of wrinkles. |
