Who Wants Younger Looking Skin?

If you are like many others on this planet you would like younger looking skin. If so, please read this artice and learn how amazing new products made from microfiber can assist you in achieving this goal.

Never heard of microfiber? Well most people have not, so I will explain what microfiber is. Microfiber is two synthetic materials blended together, then split. The 1st material is polyamide a by-product of nylon, and the 2nd is polyester. You may have heard of or even own microfiber clothes, pocket books, or upholstered furniture. Most microfiber is blended as 80/20, 75/25, and 70/30. The higher number represents polyester, (the cleaning part), and the lower number polyamide(the absorbant part). Hence if you wanted a super absorbant material a 70/30 blend would be your choice, and a 80/30 blend would be a softer one.

Microfiber has been around for years and came to the USA in the automotive industy as cleaning/drying cloths. They worked great and required no chemicals or detergents to clean . They could be used wet with water to clean and used dry to dust, polish and dry. This made them environmentally preferred products and guaranteed their acceptance. Soon, other fantastic products were developed, tested, and made available to the consumer market.

Enough of technical jargon. How do you get younger looking skin? Use the magic of microfiber ! Microfiber require only water to remove make-up, thus eliminating costly creams, etc. Creams may be used if desired but are not necessary. Microfiber also exfoliate and clean the skin which promotes new skin growth, guaranteeing a younger looking you! Microfiber cleans the skin better than any other material and works great in acne areas. Microfiber may be washed by hand or machine using normal detergents or just water. Hang to dry or use a dryer. Microfifiber products are environmentally preferred because only water is required and they are economical because they can be washed and re-used hundreds of times!


 

Magnifying Mirror

I recently bought a magnifying mirror . . . a big, lighted magnifying mirror that makes it impossible for me to ignore all my face's imperfections. The unreasonable clerk who sold me the mirror wouldn’t let me return it. She said not liking what I saw in it wasn’t reason enough to get my money back.

Mirrors like this one should be illegal. It enlarges objects seven times their natural size. The thing is a health hazard. When I looked into it, I screamed in horror, then hyperventilated, passed out, and hit my head on the bathroom sink. I needed CPR to be resuscitated, and I think some of my brains might have been flushed down the toilet. I’m not sure I’ll ever recover from discovering that my cheeks have pleats. (gasp!) The whole nasty experience plunged me into a state of third-degree, age-related depression.

All this time, I’ve been living in that lovely la-la-land of denial. I had fooled myself into believing that I still looked twenty-nine. Mother Nature played a cruel joke on me. Time to wake up and smell the extra-strength age spot remover. Reality hit me right between my puffy, sagging eyelids. Ouch! That smarts.

My laugh lines are no laughing matter, now that they’re buried deep within my saggy cheeks. The only advantage is that I can finally say I have cleavage, even if it IS on my face. The black bags under my eyes are bigger than my feet. They’re helping to save the forests, though. I carry groceries in them, rather than using the paper sacks at the grocery store.

I look like a puckered pile of flab and wrinkles with whiskers. When my husband calls me “pet,” it’s because my drooping jowls make me look like Cousin Delmont’s old coon dog Otis, and my flabby neck jiggles like a Tom turkey’s. My cheeks sag lower each day, like melting blobs of raspberry ripple ice cream. I’m afraid I’ll awake some morning to discover that my face has slid down around my waist.

The dermatologist made my day when he called the dark patches on my cheeks “old age barnacles." I must look like a sunken ship. I asked him if plaster of paris might help, but instead he suggested that I have my face “resurfaced.” So now I’m a well-traveled, worn out road? I must admit that my face does sort of look like a truck ran over it.

Wrinkles aren't the only revolting development that’s got me down. It’s bad enough that I’ve turned into grandma Moses, but I'm looking a lot like Grandpa Walton too. I've sprouted a beard and mustache, and my whole face is lower than it used to be. Yesterday, my husband called me “floppy cheeks," and I don’t think he meant it as a term of endearment. I no longer count gravity among my friends. It’s pulling everything southward, and parts that once were perky are now in danger of being stepped on and often get road rash from dragging on the pavement.

I’ve placed my youth on the endangered species list. It’s evaporating faster than spit on a hot griddle. Instead of aging like a fine wine, I'm afraid I'm more like moldy cheese or curdled 2% milk. As my six-year-old grandson says, “I’m not happy about this.”

You can understand why I appreciate the Bible verse in Proverbs 11, which says, "A kind hearted woman will gain respect." I'm relieved, because I know I can't get by on my good looks. I hope people find my heart more pleasing to behold than the rest of me.

I don’t even know Grace, and I don’t want to grow old with her, but I’ve found at least two things for which old timers can be thankful:

1) For those who love and obey Him, God does not examine faults with a magnifying glass. If He did, it would be a sight even more grotesque than the one staring back at me from my mirror. Instead, God is willing to remove each soul's blemishes and forget them forever. "As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm 103:12)

2) Secondly, nobody is ever too old to be used by God. No matter what my age, or how many thousands of wrinkles and gray hairs I have, there is always something good I can do. God has plans for each of us. Jeremiah 29:11 says: "’I know the plans I have for you, ‘declares the Lord, . . . to give you hope and a future.’" We always have a place in God's scheme of things, even if one foot is in the rest home. We can't outgrow our usefulness and no one’s ever too old to have hopes and dreams or to accomplish some pretty nifty things with God's help. I heard of one hip grandma who rode a motorcycle on her ninetieth birthday. That sure beats staring at the wall from a rocking chair in a puddle of drool. God doesn't just use young and beautiful people.

In fact, I would guess that He can probably more often use older folks who have gained experience and learned the lessons that come only from making mistakes. How cool is it that He can work through anyone, wrinkles, age spots, and all? He'll use anybody, as long as they meet two requirements: A: they are willing, and B: they're still breathing.

That includes you. So open those wrinkled, baggy eyelids of yours and take a gander at the world around you. Forget your age. You will always be younger than someone somewhere. If you look, you'll see loads of things you can do. Get your pruney face and your varicose veins out there and get busy!


 

Anti-Aging - Insider Secrets

You can benefit greatly from the anti-aging insider secret that you have naming rights over your life.

Adam was the original owner of God-given naming rights. Yours are waiting for you to claim them.

Claim them today.

Get back those years of believing you had no control over your quality of life and just had to allow yourself to be swept along in the decline too many people call the "aging process".

The following suggestions will help you regain a higher quality of life and make you a blessing to all as you come out of retirement expecting a more abundant life.

You Can Choose to Rename Negative Events as Positive Events

You can divide life experience into positive and negative events. One contributor to the aging process is feeling down on yourself - every day.

You can stop that by telling yourself you have control over every day. Without thinking about it you give every event a certain level of power by letting it have a certain meaning.

A key insider secret is that when you choose to change the meaning you give to an event, you change its power over you.

Even the event of losing a loved one can be given a new meaning as you celebrate your life with them.

And the fond memories no one can take from you. In so doing you rob depression of its power to put you in a downward spiral aging faster than ever. You attach this positive meaning to every experience and forever change your outlook on life and the people in your life.

You Can Tell Others You've Decide to See The Positive

Once you've mastered the art of changing the meaning of negative events into positive ones the next step is to put a stop to all the negative values that loved ones pin on you. They will often protest that they want you to grow old gracefully.

You need to rise up on the inside and let them know you have decided to see the positive side of everything. Be sure they understand you view maturity as a process of improving - like fine wine.

Tell them that every day you exercise your God-given naming rights over your life. Quote them the verse - "This is the day the Lord has nade and I will rejoice in it and be glad"

The truth is you have the right to have a good day every day.

Your plan for Choosing to Rename the negative Events and, Telling Loved Ones You've Decide to See the Positive in All Experiences can be easily followed. But you'll have to be diligent. Keep it up every day


 

Anti-Aging Skin Care Secrets & Solutions

Anti-aging skin care is simple. But there are steps you'll need to take. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and the only one exposed to the elements. It’s also the only one exposed to the view of others, so you’ll want to make sure it ages as slowly as possible.

As time goes by, your skin tends to get thinner, dryer, more wrinkled and, eventually, age spots may appear. Although you can’t stop the process, you can slow it down dramatically. Besides using high quality skin care (mild cleansers and effective moisturizers), there are two other secrets to your skin’s fountain of youth.

Since “garbage in, garbage out” applies to your body as well as your computer, healthy skin requires a healthy diet. Reduce your over all fats to under 30%, replacing processed and saturated “bad” fats with “good’ essential fatty acids. Eliminate sweets and other processed carbohydrates and add more whole grains and carotenoid rich fruits and vegetables. Exercise carries the essential nutrients to your cells and eight glasses of water a day keeps cells hydrated and flushes out harmful toxins.

Carotenoids are a family of phytonutrients that have been proven over and over again to protect human cells from oxidative free-radical damage - one of the major causes of skin aging. That’s why the National Institutes of Health recommends eating nine daily servings of brightly colored fruits and vegetables – peaches, strawberries, broccoli, etc. rather than iceberg lettuce, bananas and French fries. To make sure you’re getting optimum skin benefits, a good whole food carotenoid supplement will help.

The other important guideline for anti-aging skin care is to avoid sun exposure. Just driving with your arm out the window of your car can cause sun damage and accelerate aging. So get UV tinting on your car windows and keep your arm inside. Wear sunglasses, a hat, long sleeves and long pants and always use sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15.


 

Anti-Aging -- Yes Renewed Vigor Can be Yours

You can take control of the aging process and rediscover years of youthful vigor by going on a Word Watch, and getting into Thought Sport.

Get back those long forgotten years. Use the following suggestions and you will observe a transformation in both the way you look at others and the way they look at you.

1. Decide to Go on a Word Watch

You Word Watch by taking control of what comes out of your mouth. Also Word Watch when you write anything or use a computer keyboard.

Rework your vocabulary to fill your speech and print outs with words that speak more often of the future than the past. Speak and write with a sense of excitement about your future. Speak of it with full conviction that the best years of your life are ahead of you.

Communicate with those who are much younger than you, wherever possible. At Church, at the mall, at the community college, on the Internet. The possibilities are limitless. Share your experiences. Gently correct any who refer to you as old. In love let them know you don't feel any older than you were 30 years most of the time. Say you're older but will not accept the "old" label.

They'll have a new regard for you and will treat you in the way you expect.

Tell all who listen you've given up retirement and have decided on Refirement. You will need to explain Refirement is the opposite to retirement. Share how you've entered a time of rediscovering yourself and your skills and abilities. Make sure they know you are passionate about putting these skills to work to generate a prosperous future.

Future years of youthful vigor will be yours as long as you stay on a Word Watch.

2. Make Yourself Get into Thought Sport

Experts worldwide agree, that baby boomers and those in the years beyond 60, must keep their mind active. The Bible exhorts us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind.

The truth is that you are what you think you are. Join the swelling ranks of Refirees, not to be confused with retirees, who have embraced Refirement, and have decided to get into Thought Sport.

Your suggestions for Thought Sport include starting a Bible study group in your home, enrolling in an online program in Internet marketing, or attending a community college course on how to set up your own small business.

You are never to old to keep your mind in top performance mode. Consider the example of Eric, Australia's most mature small businessman. At 103 he drives his own car and manages a home based business. If there was an Olympic event for Thought Sport Eric would be a Gold Medalist.
