My Secret

Most of my friends would ask me about my secret to looking so young despite our age. I have to admit though that my genes are in one way or another helpful in allowing me to maintain my youthful looks. But there is more to it than that. I simply tell them that I go through a long regimen all throughout the day to help me maintain my beauty.

For one, I have to be conscious about what I eat and that I get the right amount of exercise regularly. I also make use of nothing but Clarins beauty products to make sure that the things I put on my face comes from a reputable beauty line. There are tons of products out there in the market but I have my doubts about them. So I stick to one and one alone to be on the safe side.

Youthful Look

The loss of elasticity in our skin is a normal effect of aging that we all have to accept. Coupled with years of exposure to the sun and other harmful environmental factors, our skin will ultimately be damaged. The procedure called skin tightening is the process of decreasing the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin through clinical treatment or the use of specific products. Choosing the treatment method that is best for you will largely depend on the depth of the wrinkles and the amount of money you are willing to spend.

Results of this procedure will often vary depending upon the type of therapy and the condition of the skin prior to the treatment. Aging skin often has depleted levels of elastin and collagen. Collagen is a meshwork of fibers that holds skin cells together like a net. Elastin is a protein that maintains the skin’s elasticity. When the levels of these two proteins naturally decrease with age, sagging and wrinkles will be the inevitable result.

The basic steps of skin care have been drummed up on us. As soon as children stepped on to teen hood and then to adulthood, they became attentive to anything relating to better looking skin. They listened to advertisements claiming good qualities of this or that product. They try every skin product they can find. The search seems to be unending.

The basic steps in skin care are cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing and regular use of sunscreen. A creamy cleanser should be used for dry skin and a clear cleanser for oily skin. Exfoliation is the process of removing the top layer of the skin. That is dead skin that tends to dull the complexion. A skin moisturizer will seal moisture into the skin. It is best applied after a bath when the skin is still wet. Sunscreen helps to retard skin aging.
