Create Your Own Beauty Regimen to Fight Aging

Everyone’s skin is different and the signs of aging can present themselves in various ways.  Developing your own custom routine will allow you to target the problems that plague you specifically and avoid treatments that may be unnecessary for your type of skin.

Face Washing Strategies

For most people, washing your face twice a day is sufficient.  Washing too much can dry out your skin and not enough could leave your skin oily, dirty, and filled with impurities.  Wash once in the morning and once before bed with a gentle, alcohol free cleanser to ensure your face retains its moisture.  Avoid washing with hot water as this will also dry out your skin, so stick to cool and lukewarm temperatures.  Exfoliating at least once a week will clear away dead skin and will stimulate the flow of blood and oxygen to your skin.

Choosing a Lotion

Your choice of lotion is where your skin type plays a larger part.  For naturally dry or oily skin, pick a cream that is tailored to those traits.  Dry skin is more prone to developing wrinkles, so moisturize in the morning before you apply your makeup and at night before you go to bed.  Always be sure to apply your face creams to clean skin to avoid trapping any unwanted dirt or oils in your pores.

When choosing a cream be sure that you understand how it’s ingredients are supposed to work.  Some companies fill their labels up with names of ingredients which have no affect on moisturizing your face or repairing lines and wrinkles.  With a little research and reading a few product reviews you can give yourself a better idea of which products truly work and which ones to avoid.

Consider Your Nutrition

As part of your beauty routine, consider your diet.  Unhealthy foods can easily show up on your skin, so cut out the bad stuff and give your skin and body the proper nutrition it needs to grow and heal.  Foods such as berries, fish, nuts, and beans which contain antioxidants or Omega-3 fatty acids will help to give you smooth, firm, and younger looking skin.  And most important of all, drink plenty of water to give your skin a hydrated, supple look and feel.

Sleep and Exercise

An excellent beauty regimen shouldn’t be limited to lotions, creams, and face masks.  Getting regular exercise allows blood, oxygen, and nutrients to flow more easily to your skin and help it heal and repair itself.  Getting proper sleep and rest also helps your skin rejuvenate and will leave you looking much more refreshed, relaxed, and care free.
