Introduction:

Follow these anti aging skin care tips to look younger longer. In addition to staying fit and eating healthfully, these anti aging skin care tips can help you keep your youthful glow.Be sure to check out the article links listed under "supporting Links" below for more anti aging tips.

Avoid Sun Exposure

Use at least SPF 25 every day, and higher SPF if you will be out in the sun. There are special face sunscreens that feel light, and are not greasy and worth investing in.

Wear a hat when gardening, exercising outdoors, and especially when having fun at the water. Consider getting UV ray blocking window film that's made for your car windshield and windows. Sun exposure is the one most aging force on your skin.

Gently Clean

Use a gentle cleanser every night to unclog your pores of dirt, excess oils, makeup, etc. Use a cleanser formulated for your skin type. A nice, gentle, inexpensive cleanser for most skin types is Cetaphil. Do not clean your face more than once or maybe twice a day. You can strip the natural oils too much if you overcleanse.

Exfoliate

Skin cells turn over more slowly as we age, so dead cells start to collect on the surface more and can make skin look dull. Exfoliate gently once or twice a week or so, using an exfoliating scrub or exfoliating washcloth. Do not apply lots of pressure to your face as you exfoliate. Scrubbing hard can damage your skin, which would be the opposite of anti aging skin care.

Anti-Wrinkle Retinol or Tretinoin

Retinol and tretinoin are both vitamin A derivatives. Their effects have been studied for decades, and they do work well for anti aging skin care. They really help to minimize wrinkles. Retinol is available in over the counter products, but tretinoin, which is stronger, requires a prescription. Be sure to read and follow all directions and cautions that accompany these products.

Moisturize

Choose a moisturizer with SPF 25 that feels nice on your skin. Clinique makes one called Superdefense 25 that is wonderful and feels light. In addition, wear a special eye area moisturizer to combat crows feet wrinkles. Your skin will say, ahhhhhhh when you use moisturizer as an anti aging skin care tool.




Final Thoughts

It is never too early to start avoiding sun damage and keeping your skin clean. You'll know when your skin starts feeling like it needs moisturizer. The anti aging skin care products that have vitamin A derivatives and the exfoliation can usually wait until you are in your 30s or 40s.
