The secrets of naturally younger looking skin – you hold the keys to that secret!

As we women age, the skin on our face, neck and hands tend to be telltale areas, which tell alot about our age. I don't know a  woman of any age who doesn't secretly smile if someone guesses her age to be much lesser than is the case.

Unfortunately, nature has a way of making things sag. Gravity, you know. The elements don't help either, with sun and wind taking their toll on delicate tissues of the face. Women who laugh frequently and well, are sure to develop fine lines and little wrinkles around the eyes. Frowning for decades can make unattractive lines across the forehead and around the mouth. Ugh. No matter your age, you undoubtedly want to stave off the ravages of time, presenting younger looking skin with which to face the world. Here are the secrets to a naturally younger looking skin which every woman can employ. You can start this right away!

Have you ever noticed how women who are news anchors or actresses, seem to age more quickly as compared to the others? Their work requires lots of makeup so that they don't appeared washed out on camera. However, both the heavy makeup and hot lights dry the skin prematurely, exacerbate enlarged pores and don't allow the skin to breathe naturally. This produces an uphill battle, trying to undo the daily damage with intensive night creams treatment. Avoid the use of heavy foundations and makeup if possible. The new, trendy mineral makeups provide nourishment to the skin, while still allowing the skin to breathe naturally. You may notice younger looking skin within a few weeks, by simply eliminating heavy makeup.

The skin is the largest organ of the body and does give credence to the adage, 'you are what you eat'. If have a poor diet, set about to improve it. Younger women, with lovely fresh looking skin, are far less likely to worry about diet too much. Only when those lines and little wrinkles start showing up, will women start to think carefully about those essential vitamins. You've probably heard about the anti aging vitamins, with powerful antioxidants and beneficial effects on the skin. Although dubbed 'anti aging', these vitamins are the same ones we recommend to teens. Vitamins A, C, E and the trace mineral zinc play an important role in naturally vibrant and younger looking skin. Now you've got plenty of reasons to eat your fruits and veggies, just like you tell the kids. In fact, you'll want to consult your doctor to discuss taking supplements of these vitamins to slow down the ageing process.
