Even though marketers would have us believe that miracles come in the form of pills and bottles, it just does not exist. Getting the paper smooth skin without pores through the latest fad is just not realistic. Our society is infatuated with the impossible and it is crazy. 

People do get old and as they do wrinkle’s happen which some say add depth of character to the face. There may be changes to our bone structure or we may get freckles and scars. They really just amount to reminders of our time here. There are things that can slow the process down and help but with time we will age. 

Use a good sunscreen – protect your skin from direct sunlight with sunscreen or shade as appropriate.

Make sure to rest – the proper amount of rest and good nutrition will help you to stay younger longer.

Never smoke – the skin is living tissue that needs proper blood circulation to it which smoking will diminish. Smokers get poisons delivered to their skin via the blood stream instead of the oxygen it needs. That is why a smoker’s skin will look dull.

Use moderation – it is said that moisturizer is the most overused product in the United States. The marketing experts want you to think you should slather yourself in it. Like most good things it should be used in moderation. Exfoliators also fall into this category of things to use in moderation.

Keep stress to a minimum – stress can take its toll, both environmental and emotional so keep stress out of your life for healthier skin.

Use clean makeup – replace all applicators on a regular basis and occasionally toss everything to start fresh. Make up has a shelf life of only 6 to 12 months so if you buy expensive make up either use it or don’t feel too bad about tossing some of it.

Keep your face clean – by washing it twice a day and apply treatment. You should especially wash your face in the morning as all kinds of things collect in your pores.

Resist the temptation – to pick, pull, stretch, poke, squeeze or scratch at your face in the mirror. Trauma to the skin increases the risk of scarring so use treatment products instead.

Don’t forget – you have skin on your heels, neck and elbows that needs attention with moisturizers also. The tops of your feet and scalp are commonly missed with sun protection.

Add new products gradually – to give your skin time to adjust to the new ingredients. There are an average 30 ingredients in each product so you introduce these potential allergens to your skin slowly. The girls at the make-up counter who would have you applying 10 different layers are not helping your skin.
