As we move on in years, who doesn't want to stay youthful, to hold the line on ageing? And else do we see our age and fear our age more, than our skin?
Anti-Ageing Skincare: Tips and Common Sense
I’d like to discuss with you some general anti
ageing skin care therapy that will maintain your skin youthful and healthy, and
propose some natural anti ageing skin treatments that make a great impact as
well.

The health
of our skin reflects numerous aspects. Some we can’t control, but others we can
and should. Heredity and environment, for example, can be acting against you.
But you’re
not going to leave the city only to obtain clean, dewy skin. And if a certain
swarthiness is in your genes, there’s not much you can do about it.
Natural anti-ageing skincare products
But let’s look at the anti-ageing skincare
that you can do, and there’s a lot to elevate your skin to a whole new level.
Water as an anti-ageing product
Water – yes
water – is your finest anti ageing therapy. You need to consume at least 8 full
glasses of spring or well water every day.
Your body is
75% water, and your skin is a wet, elastic medium that has to be maintained
hydrated organically from the inside. Your skin’s hunger for this interior
hydration can’t be met by merely rubbing in creams or lotions on the exterior.
You need to
observe this “first commandment of skin care” if you want to gain the
tremendous benefits that anti ageing creams and other treatments also give.
Natural Creams as an anti-ageing product
Many anti ageing creams – even the most costly
ones – have a basis of mineral oil, and are laden with chemical preservatives
and colouring.
Just look at
the labels. You need bifocals and a lab coat simply to read them! Need I say
more? I receive numerous comments on my delicate skin, and usually the same
question: what do you put on it?
First I
educate folks about water, lots of fresh air and exercise, and moderate
exposure to sunshine. Then I get down to particular anti ageing remedies.
Real Aloe Vera as an anti-ageing product
Lots of products advertise that they include
aloe vera – so why do we assume we can improve upon nature? I go directly to
the source, and keep an aloe vera plant growing in my bathroom.
It’s a gorgeous plant, it’s easy to care for,
and you just chop off a part of the leaf and out gushes the wonderful fresh gel.
My friends and nursing colleagues all remark
the same joy the first time they massage in a gel directly from their plants.
And they
claim that it’s the finest anti ageing product they’ve ever used – and one that
you just can’t obtain from a store-bought jar or tube.
Aloe vera is
really powerful. It’s rich in moisture, protein, vitamins and minerals which
are antiaging components that provide your skin deep, comprehensive hydration.
Cleopatra is
known to have used aloe vera on her skin, and if you disregard her small snake
bite, you must admit: she was quite a success story!
Olive Oil as an anti-ageing product
When my skin
is particularly dry I also use olive oil and use olive oil soap over my entire
body. In fact, such was the wonderful effects I experienced from olive oil,
that I designed my own anti ageing personal care product - a soap which is 90%
olive oil, and smooth beyond imagination.
Aloe vera,
interestingly enough, can occasionally generate a surface drying sensation,
which olive oil immediately smoothes out. Besides anti-ageing benefits, aloe
vera gives proteins, minerals and water to your skin.
Application
of Creams
I often encourage people not to massage in
their oils and creams in a bored hum-drum fashion. You need to thoroughly
massage it in, giving yourself pleasure and boosting your circulation.
Indeed it’s
best to make all your health habits emotional. It’s this zeal that forms the
miraculous link between body, mind, heart and soul.
So while we’re striving to make ourselves
younger and more beautiful, dear women - let’s make it an anti ageing workout - not
act as if we’re ironing socks!
Natural Progesterone Cream as an anti-ageing product
We include this last, but surely not least,
for it is actually the “Queen” of anti ageing products. This all-natural lotion
suffuses your body with progesterone, the anti ageing hormone that develops
girls into women and gives that gorgeous glow to pregnant women.
A natural
progesterone hormone cream, such as Prosperine, gives the proper dosage of
progesterone produced from the Mexican wild yam. Besides having a preventive
properties against breast cancer, it delightfully tones your skin and retards the
ageing process.
As with
drinking water, this is a technique that works from the inside out the proper
way, the natural way.
