Anti-Aging the Right Way


Everywhere you look, more and more women are going to get their faces pumped with collagen, lifted, pulled and pricked to look younger than they do. Most of these women never cared for their skin when they were younger, and are now paying the price. Why not love your skin and age gracefully without having to spend thousands of dollars on cosmetic surgery? How can you do this? Start taking care of your skin now! While you are still young!

In the economy we are in now, I know it feels like it’s not worth it to spend money on some skin care, but it’s better to put down a little bit of money every couple of months on skin care, rather than dropping around $8,000 all at once with the risk of the procedure messing up your face permanently. Think of this as one of the best investments you will make, where you are guaranteed to see a return later on in life.

How to avoid spending $8,000
1.      Cleanse
2.      Tone
3.      Moisturize

Do these 3 easy steps daily and it’ll make all the difference in the world and the way your skin ages. Don’t be afraid to get a good quality cleanser. It is better to spend a little money now than a lot later. I really do not recommend using cheap brands like Clean and Clear or Nivea, as these products are basically just harsh soaps. There is a reason these products are so cheap, people! If you are on a modest budget, I would suggest the Vichy line. Vichy can be purchased at Shoppers Drug Mart and is mid-priced. I especially recommend Vichy’s Aqualia moisturizer. It is really light and does not make your skin feel sticky or heavy. Don’t forget to moisturize your neck. By moisturizing your neck when you are younger, you prevent it from sagging and wrinkling.

Apart from the 3 basic steps, you should definitely get into the habit of exfoliating your skin once in a while. Your skin needs a good exfoliating in order to get rid of dead skin and dirt that gets deep down into your pores. There are a lot of great masks you can get that just require 10 minutes of your time and really work quite well in making your skin look visibly healthier. This is something you can do even just twice a month as a skin treatment. You can also consider going to get a facial once every couple of months to really give your skin a nice treat.

In terms of actual anti-aging products, don’t think you are ruled out if you are twenty-five years old with good skin. There are products out there to actually slow down your skins aging and make you look younger longer. I am twenty-one and have already started using some of Vichy’s Aqualia Antiox products such as the eye cream (highly recommended to brighten up and tighten up baggy under eye skin), and the Antiox day cream. This specific line is made particularly for young women who want to prolong the aging process of their skin.

So go visit a skin care professional and start taking steps to ensure that you are as beautiful when you are sixty as you are now.
