How To Get Younger Looking Skin Naturally

April 10, 2008

Before you begin, take a look at the revolutionary special report ‘Transform Yourself Through Natural Beauty‘ which reveals how you can dramatically TRANSFORM your appearance from dull and lifeless to vibrant and glamarous using completely natural techniques.

As our bodies start aging, one of the biggest things we notice is our skin. It doesn’t look quite so young, soft and supple anymore. Sometimes it starts drying out, becoming blotchy, and even wrinkling or sagging. This problem is more prevalent for women going through menopause, because one of the common symptoms of menopause is drier skin.

As we age, extended years of sun damage takes their toll. Our bodies change a bit too, the facial skin particularly stops producing as much oil as it used to, and it doesn’t produce as many antioxidents as it used to either. Both of these are contributing factors to your skin looking older. Combined with many years of stress, squinting at computer screens all day, or frowning in concentration all day while you’re working, wrinkles start developing in those areas of your face where creases form when you make faces. Alot of this can be reduced and sometimes completely reversed though.

There are many natural ways to help keep your skin looking more youthful and healthy though, and herbs and vitamins can play major roles in keeping your skin looking beautiful naturally.

The most important thing you need to help keep your skin looking beautiful and young, is water. Drinking lots of water each day is required to keep your body healthy in general, but many people don’t realize it plays a major role in keeping your skin healthy too. Drinking eight to ten glasses of water each day will provide your body with the water it needs, while also having enough to rehydrate your skin too. And when your skin is hydrated, it’s much softer, smoother and younger looking.

The second most important thing you can do for your skin to stay younger looking naturally, is be sure you’re getting proper nutrition. Nutrition can be controlled by the foods you eat of course, and there are many vitamins, herbs and supplements which help as well.

Many people don’t know however, that you can actually apply vitamins and antioxidents to your face directly too. Your skin is able to absorb what you put on to it. So by applying herbal salves, teas and facial washes, you’re not only cleaning and rehydrating your skin, you’re also able to give it the additional vitamins it needs too.

Citrus for example, is high in vitamin C. Using lemon juice to clean your face is an excellent way to combat acne and oily skin problems for younger people, and the vitamin C is absorbed into your skin as well. This extra vitamin C makes a great difference for people with older skin, not only gently cleansing, but also providing extra antioxident protection which can help the skin look smoother and younger.

Other types of natural face washes you’ll want to try include aloe vera: This helps remove dead skin cells and thus acts as a natural exfoliant; Chickweed: This herb used in tea form is excellent as an acne wash, plus it helps soothe and heal damaged skin; Kelp, Dandelion and Alfalfa: This combination taken internally helps improve hair, nails and skin because the combination is so rich in natural vitamins and essential minerals our bodies need.

March 24, 2008

According to the Journal of American Academy of Dermatology, intaking carbohydrates with a high glycemic index may hinder your ability to heal from breakouts. This is in part due to the fact that these types of foods cause blood sugar levels to rise rapidly. The optimal diet for preventing or improving breakouts is Divide Your Plate In Four. Eat 1/4 protein, 1/4 whole grain complex carbohydrates, and 1/4 each of fruits and vegetables.

The Journal of American Academy of Dermatology also reported in a study that a diet of low glycemic foods (brown rice, vegetables, and whole grain breads) with high protein (chicken and fish) showed an almost 50% overall decrease in pimples after 3 months.

Cherries, oranges, tomatoes, whole grain pastas, peanuts, artichoke, grapefruits, grapes, and squash are examples of foods that help you keep clear skin because of their low glycemic index. For a longer list you can check out glycemicindex.com .

This diet is not a 100% guarantee for pimple breakouts prevention or elimination, but it is definitely worth trying and following. If you intake too many high glycemic foods, you will greatly be increasing your chances of getting pimples and blemishes. This type of diet also leads to being overweight and increases the chance of the development of diabetes and heart disease.

Increase your chances of clear skin by following the Divide Your Plate in Four diet. Your waistline and your face will surely show the results by helping you look and feel your best.

Sauna Glow

Pour 4 cups (1 liter) of boiling water over 1 tea bag each of peppermint and chamomile in a large heatproof bowl. Keep it uncovered and let it steep for 2 minutes to avoid burns. Place a towel over your head and the bowl to let the steam enter your pores. Get your 10 minute sauna. For dry skin use 2 tablespoons of rose petals and 1 teaspoon almond oil. For oily skin use 2 tablespoons each of dried rosemary and lavendar in your steam water. Or, you can use 1/2 cup fresh parsley, 1/4 cup fresh peppermint (both chopped), and 1/2 lemon (sliced) for a deep cleaning and invigorating sauna.
