No matter whether we are 20, 30 or 60 or more years of age, male or female we all want to look our best!<\/p>\n

None of us want to look old before our time with drooping or sagging skin, or have skin with blemishes that looks lifeless, dry and with lots of\u00a0wrinkles<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered how people of similar age can look so different?\u00a0 The greater the age the bigger the differences!\u00a0 Why is it that some people who are 40 years old can look just 25 and yet others at 40 years of age look 60 years old?<\/p>\n

Some people would argue that it must be in the genes but that theory is largely discredited.\u00a0 Most scientists now generally agree that genetics probably don\u2019t play any more that about a 10% role in the way our health or appearance evolves as we age.<\/p>\n

So, what are the factors that determine how we look and feel as we age?<\/p>\n

There are three key ones, not necessarily in the following order\u2026<\/p>\n

Lifestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your choice of lifestyle will have a significant impact on how you look as you age.\u00a0 If you are a heavy smoker expect to increase your likelihood of being as the example I gave of looking 60 when you are 40 years old.\u00a0 If you drink heavily whilst you are smoking then that will bring you a further step closer.<\/p>\n

Exercise is part of the lifestyle section.\u00a0 Reasonable exercise that is\u2026no need to be a fanatic\u2026just do enough to keep everything functioning properly and flexible!\u00a0 If you happen to be an exercise \u2018nut\u2019 then be sure that you take extra\u00a0antioxidants<\/a>\u00a0otherwise you will age before your time due to greater exposure to\u00a0free radicals<\/a>\u00a0as a result of increased oxygen intake.<\/p>\n

Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n

The old saying \u2018you are what you eat\u2019 is based on old and true wisdom.\u00a0 If you eat lots of processed foods which are devoid of nutrients then don\u2019t expect your skin to look good when you get older (or even in the short term)\u00a0 Don\u2019t expect to enjoy good health either!<\/p>\n

Without the correct amounts of essential nutrients every day your skin will over time lose elastin and collagen.\u00a0 The lack of anti-oxidants in your diet will also have a profound effect on your skin.\u00a0 Result\u2026all the things that that you don\u2019t want to have happen to your skin will happen!\u00a0 You should be aware of protecting your skin from the inside out.\u00a0 The good news is that when you do that you are also protecting your health.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, even if your diet is not great our\u00a0Total Balance<\/a><\/span>\u00a0will go a long way to helping avoid this deterioration.\u00a0 Try to take one of the Premium versions if you can.\u00a0 If that is outside your budget then go for the standard version of just one bottle per month.\u00a0 (Be careful to select the correct version.\u00a0 The Premium version needs two bottles a month whereas the standard is only one bottle)<\/p>\n

The reason why I suggest the Premium version is not so that you will spend more but rather that it really will give that bit extra in helping achieve objectives in this area.\u00a0 Glycation being a case in point.\u00a0 The Premium version is quite a lot more potent in this area\u2026<\/p>\n

Topical\u00a0Skin Care<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the easiest one of which to take action on in order to avoid the visible or superficial effects of aging, but it must be remember that without the other two factors being addressed it can only be a band aid\u2026albeit an important one..<\/p>\n

Many of us (men as well as women) spend a lot of money on\u00a0skin care<\/a>\u00a0products.\u00a0 It is easy to be seduced by persuasive adverts showing how wonderful a particular\u00a0skin care<\/a>\u00a0products may be.\u00a0 We have also become \u2018educated\u2019 to thinking that the more we pay on these products the better they must be!<\/p>\n

But, is that really true?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generally no!\u00a0 In fact, if you examine closely the contents of skin care products you will usually fine that the more popular and expensive the brand the less really effective ingredients it contains.\u00a0 This is the power of advertising and marketing at work to create a preconception in the consumers mind.\u00a0 What is conveyed may not be reality at all.<\/p>\n

So, what do we really need to look for in a skin care product?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, putting aside the value for money aspect there are two things that are important.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Are the ingredients that it contains effective?\u00a0 Do they address the three main causes of skin aging which are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

>> Loss of collagen and elastin
\n>> Lower levels of hyaluronic acid
\n>> Oxidation through the action of\u00a0free radicals<\/a><\/p>\n

Have a look at the ingredients.\u00a0 Look then up on google and do some research as to whether there is any evidence to support their effectiveness.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Are the ingredients safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You may be shocked if you research this area.\u00a0 For example, one of the well known popular international brands actually contains a pesticide!<\/p>\n

Another thing to look out for is whether the product contains fragrances.\u00a0 They may smell nice but you really don\u2019t want these fragrances on your skin.\u00a0 They may smell like a flower but they are actually chemicals and the long term impact of them \u2018seeping\u2019 into your blood stream is still unknown.<\/p>\n

Also, does the product contain parabens?\u00a0 Parabens are a powerful preservative and is linked to possible cancer.\u00a0 The big name brands use them because there is a long lead time from when the product is manufactured to when you buy it in the store, so they need these powerful preservatives\u2026but, you don\u2019t need them\u2026in fact you don\u2019t want them.<\/p>\n

Check to see if the manufacturer is a signer of the Compact for Safe\u00a0Cosmetics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are skin care products that meet the above criteria, but you have to search for them\u2026but, the end result makes it worth while and you will appreciate the effort when in later years you look at your face in the mirror.\u00a0 After you have done your research then you can compare our\u00a0Xtend-Life<\/a>\u00a0Skin Care<\/span>\u00a0products and if you do it objectively you will find that these offer not only the greatest benefits for your skin but also the best value for money.<\/p>\n

On a final note, you may be wondering why I did not mention sun exposure.\u00a0 This is because the damaging effects of the sun are grossly exaggerated\u2026usually by those professional and companies with a vested interest!\u00a0 In fact, many people now do not get enough sun and the negative impact of this is a deficiency of Vitamin D which has many negative health implications.<\/p>\n

Skin care products should not contain an SPF factor as once again these are chemicals with potential long term negative results.\u00a0 Only use a sunscreen when directly exposed to excessive sunlight, not as an every day habit.<\/p>\n

If you follow these suggestions that I have outlined in this article you will not only look and feel better but enjoy a healthier life.<\/p>\n
