Overcoming the Fears of Aging
It is true; one of the most common fears in people is the fear of growing old. However, growing old or aging is a natural process. Dealing with the signs of aging, wrinkles, is nothing short of being a traumatic experience for many men and women. Often times in desperation, we resort to experimenting with various anti-aging methods as an antidote for slowing this aging process. So is it possible to prevent the signs of time from leaving a permanent imprint on our skin and psyche? The answer is yes and no. Yes, we can delay the signs of aging by using effective anti-aging products available in the market. No, we can’t prevent time from leaving a sign of its passage. How should you initiate this process of prevention? Easy. Start by finding out all the anti aging options (products, medicines, gadgets etc) available in the market. Compare their usefulness and find a treatment which has been referred to you by friends, relatives or colleagues or your doctor. These recommendations can help you to make an informed choice, and probably assist you to get the desired results from using these products.
Anti - Aging Products and Treatments
Anti-aging treatments require patience and faith. Do not expect miracles. Depending on your skin type and condition, tailor-made treatments can be opted for, to gain the maximum benefit. Besides, any good anti aging regime should include proper skin care techniques, and treatments. Skin care treatments are the essentials of anti aging. The first sign of aging always appears on the skin, especially, under the eyes or on the forehead. Many ingredients have proven to rejuvenate your skin, effectively. One such skin rejuvenating agent is retinol, which is a derivative of vitamin A. Although Retinol is extremely effective, yet it can cause skin irritation. So if you have a sensitive skin, then this treatment is a no-no. Vitamin A belongs to the anti oxidant category. Anti oxidants prevent your body from creating free radicals, which enhance the aging process. Some, common, anti oxidants are Vitamin A, Vitamin B-6, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Folic Acid and Selenium. The regular supply of anti oxidants can be gained through eating lots of green vegetables and fruits.
This is the natural, inexpensive, and healthy way to control aging! Chemical exfoliation is also an effective treatment. Alpha hydroxyl acid or beta hydroxyl acid products are used to chemically exfoliate your skin, and reduce the wrinkle count. One of the most popular products in this category is AHA glycolic acid. The important thing to remember here is that you need to consult your doctor before going for any of these treatments. Using a concentration level of lower than 8% or higher than 15% will be harmful for your skin. However, if you follow a fitness regime from young age and eat healthy, your skin will remain younger-looking for a longer period. Moreover, one item you simply can’t forget is a Sunscreen cream or lotion. Regular use of sunscreen reduces the signs of aging, and helps you increase the effectiveness of the anti aging products that you are using for rejuvenating your skin!
