Skin Care Secrets to Slow Down the Aging Process

We're all going to grow older, but that doesn't mean it has to show in obvious ways. Your skin is one of the most delicate components of your body and it's also a determinate of your age. Along with pollutants, your skin reacts to the heat, cold, wind, sun, water and your own internal nutrition.

If you want to help slow the aging process and damage to your skin caused by all these factors, keep reading for a few skin care secrets to help cloak your true age.

Tip 1 - Nutrients Are Key

You need to incorporate a variety of fruits and vegetables that will keep your skin looking great. Eat fruits that have a lot of antioxidants, as these will help to fight free radical cells that can cause skin damage and cancer. The best fruits and vegetables you can eat to help stop aging are any kind of berries, apples, plums, broccoli, spinach, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and papayas.

Tip 2 - Minimize Sun Exposure

This is a challenging tip because the effects of the sun can be both good and bad. It's recommended that you are in the sun light for at least 20 to 45 minutes per day to increase your endorphin levels and to give your skin a healthy glow. Small daily doses of sun exposure also help with our general psychological state.

However, you should always take care to protect yourself from UV ray skin damage by using a high SPF sunscreen before venturing directly into the sun for more than 20 minutes. And then moisturize after sun exposure.

So, enjoy the sun, but just not for too long.

Tip 3 - Start Exercising

It's been proven that daily exercise helps the body and skin stay looking young, taut and fresh. Not only is it a way to open all your pores and release harmful toxins that cause the aging of skin, but a strong body is also a healthy body. You should try to dedicate 20 to 60 minutes per day to doing some sort of aerobic exercise that gets your heart pumping at least a little harder than normal.

Even if you don't have time to squeeze in an hour of exercise at any given time, you might still be able to spread out a minor workout over the course of the day - say, 20 minutes in the morning, 20 more at lunch time, and a final 20 after work.

Tip 4 - Stay Hydrated

Keeping your skin well hydrated is the best skin care secret out there. The most effective hydrating "secret" is to drink water. Water cleanses your body and your skin, so try to drink at least 8 glasses (or 2 liters) of water per day.
