All Natural Skincare - Natural Skin Care Products You Can Make At Home

By Dan Avella

There are various forms of anti aging skin treatment on the market right now. Not all of them work equally well, and some of them are a downright waste of money. It is hence necessary to walk carefully through the hazardous world of possible anti aging skin treatments. Do your homework first, understand what it is all about, so you won't be caught by the hype surrounding the industry.

To get started you've got to realize the causes why skin matures. We have 2 types of maturing processes that come about in your skin: intrinsic or natural, and extrinsic, or external. Natural aging commonly starts in our 20s, although for a lot of of us it does not become evident until much later on. The output of collagen decelerates. The skin gets less flexible. Dead cells are not substituted as fast as they used to be. As we grow older, the signals become more perceptible: small wrinkles, the skin becomes flimsier, we develop hollow faces because of less fatty tissue under the skin, bone loss inducing flagging skin, thinner and more brittle nails, hair that becomes grayer by the day etc. It is at this point that many women turn to an anti aging skin treatment to start to repair what nature has taken away.

The biggest problem as far as external aging is concerned is the sun and its effects on our skin. Years of exposure to the sun makes the skin less elastic - it becomes like leather. The skin develops wrinkles, because the sun has a negative effect on the way our bodies produces collagen. Direct sunlight also gradually has a damaging effect on the elastin in your skin, hence it becomes more inflexible. Skin cancer is the end result in many instances. Anti aging skin treatment during the younger years may help to prevent some of the damage of growing older.

Other external factors aging our skin include gravity (simply pulling things down!), often repeated facial expressions (like frowning or smiling), the position you sleep in at night, and smoking.

Good anti aging skin treatment will therefore in the first place have to examine the causes why your skin is aging. This is different for every person, so a single solution that will work for everybody simply does not exist.

There is a vast array of over the counter products available to counter aging skin. Some of the most popular are: facial masks, skin lighteners, blemish removers, scrubs & exfoliants, skin revitalizers, and different types of night treatments.

It is therefore be a good idea to visit a dermatologist to determine which type of anti aging skin treatment you need. He/she will study your skin type, discuss your lifestyle and the effect is has on your skin with you, , and then recommend which of the many different types of products in the marketplace would be the best for you. - 30246
