The topic of "aging" skin has not been left unnoticed over the last several years. You probably agree that an incredible amount of attention has been given to skin care and how to stay looking young.
Let's face it-we are bombarded with beauty information left and right. With the vast amount of information available on how to have beautiful skin and fight premature signs of aging, how could we not be overwhelmed or even confused! Truth be told, it all makes it more difficult to determine what is actually true from what is completely false! Unfortunately, this confusion in our minds has been guiding our feelings and actions and has brought many of us to give in to our temptation to at least, once in our lives, try an anti-aging product. We are so media-saturated on a daily basis, how can we not be tempted?
On Television:
As you are watching TV, you are flicking the channels and you happen to fall on a beauty commercial or infomercial. What do you see? Beautiful young-looking models on which these products are being tried. To convince us even more, sometimes well-known celebrities are chosen as spokeswomen. They make special appearances to represent these anti-aging products, as they sometimes endorse them. Who doesn't like to see beautiful-skinned models or stars on TV using these "miracle" products? Very tempting, wouldn't you say? Before you know it, you're on the phone placing your order!
At the Mall:
How about when you are out shopping? You are passing the front of a boutique where the walls are covered with gorgeous photos or posters of women with firm, flawless skin. And there they are, beauty products, just sitting on the shelves and staring straight into our eyes! It's as if you can practically hear them whispering: "Pssst, try me!" Against your will, you find yourself slowly walking into the store and heading straight towards them. To make matters worse, you have a saleslady putting the products on a pedestal, raising the level of temptation. Next thing you know, you walk out of the shop with a bag full!
In Magazines:
What about in those fun to read girl magazines? Every several pages, there is an anti-aging product being advertised and next to it you see a beautiful, sexy woman, half-dressed, flaunting her glowing youthful-looking skin. It doesn't take long before the name of the product ends up on your shopping list!
You have to remember, it's all about the marketing, and at the end of the day these ads have one purpose in mind-to sell a product by creating a desire (the desire to look young and beautiful). Once consumers are left hungry for that "youthful look" and with the belief that these anti-aging products can give them the look they so badly crave, obviously they will not hesitate to pull out their wallets. After all, with a culture based on beauty and an obsession with looking youthful, wanting to simply try these products, or for some women, being addicted to them, is actually not surprising at all.
One interesting question is, "Why are we actually addicted to these anti-aging products?"
Well, we must admit that the idea of our skin slowly "deteriorating" as we age (as soon as we hit our 30's!) is quite scary, as this deterioration will, of course, affect our appearance. And in this beauty-obsessed era in which we live, any visible signs of aging are simply not welcomed! Because we have believed for so long that age is the issue at hand, we automatically assume that an anti-aging product is the solution; all we need to do to fight the early signs of aging is to apply these products to our skin at a relatively early age (starting in our late twenties) and we are good to go! It is difficult to think otherwise-especially when these products "promise" to reverse the signs of aging.
Here's a little newsflash. You can apply these products all you want but they can only do so much to your appearance. Once and for all, you must get the notion of "AGE" out of your mind as age should not even be part of the equation.
Contrary to what most people believe:
Age has absolutely nothing to do with the appearance of your skin! At the end of the day, IT'S ALL
ABOUT THE CELLS
Of course, genetics and race or color can be nominated for the small role they play, however it is your cells and only your cells who can actually win the Oscar for Best Leading Actor.
For so long we have been blaming age when age is not even at fault. I personally know women who are in their early to mid-thirties whose faces have as many fine lines as wrinkled linen dresses (sad to say but actually true)! I also personally know women who are in their seventies but look like they are in their fifties as their skin is still smooth and firm.
All in all, the appearance of your skin does not depend on your age but rather on the care you give your body and therefore, your cells. So, take action now and stop the signs of aging before they start. Feed your cells with healthy foods, protect them from free radicals by giving them a boost with nutritional antioxidant supplements, and develop good skin care habits by using antioxidant skin care products that are safe and top quality. A healthy lifestyle is what will help you maintain a beautiful, glowing and young-looking appearance.
Remember: Healthy cells = healthy you = healthy skin. If you found this article helpful and would like to read more of Nadine's articles and tips on how to look and feel great in your thirties, visit her blog at http://www.naturalglowingskinover30.com/.
