Who does not want to look youthful and pretty through their forties, fifties and on? The state of our skin is directly dependent on what we eat (forget about vegetarianism!) and how we nourish our skin (the more we use commercial creams and moisturizers loaded with petroleum products, hydrogenated oils, synthetic perfumes, coloring agents, and other awful chemicals, the faster our skin tends to age!). Therefore, if you want to have a good-looking skin no matter what age, a good rule of thumb is to use natural skin-care remedies and avoid undesirable poisons contained in endless commercial products.
1. Good diet is crucial! Eat traditional foods and traditional fats, including organ meats, organic meat and poultry, deep-ocean fish, cultured dairy products, natural butter, coconut oil, and fresh or lacto-fermented fruit and vegetables in season. Remember that your skin is a reflection of your overall health.
2. Exercise in moderation - a half-an-hour brisk walk a day is vital to your overall health and a great-looking skin. Too much exercise depletes the body from essential minerals and other nutrients and facilitates aging. Afraid of gaining weight? Cut down the amount of carbs you eat!
3. Use only natural skin care products, just like our ancestors did. The best are cold-pressed coconut oil and natural shea butter, which contain necessary nourishing and moisturising ingredients and naturally-occurring vitamins A, B, C, D and E, to keep your skin look its best.
4. Sunbathe in moderation, about 20 minutes a day in season. Remember that the sun exposure is absolutely necessary for both robust health and a good-looking skin. However, protect your skin from sunburns and omit or limit the use of sunbeds, since artificial UVA rays and burns accelerate the aging of your skin.
5. A wide-brimmed hat or a good pair of sunglasses are the must to wear in the summer, especially if your eyes are blue or green. By protecting your eyes from the direct sunlight, you slow the age-related formation of wrinkles and also secure them from developing muscular degeneration and cataracts
6. Just one sleepless night or a day of worrying can make a woman look twice her age… Therefore, do not forget to have plenty of sleep, and reduce worries, conflicts, and gloom in your life as much as possible. Happiness and freedom from stress are the most effective anti-aging remedies!
