How To Reduce The Signs Of Aging With Super Supplements

SUPER SUPPLEMENTS – NUTRIENTS FOR ANTI-AGING

“Free Radicals” are unstable oxygen molecules that attach themselves to the molecules, attacking cell membranes and vital cell components.  They can deactivate important enzymes and even damage DNA.  The oxidation process that that takes place is believed to be responsible for the breakdown of cells that precedes aging and disease.

.

Antioxidant vitamins and nutrients work to “sweep up” free radicals and neutralize them.  The primary antioxidants are vitamin A in the form of beta carotene, vitamin C and E, and the trace elements selenium and zinc, but there are also a number of other antioxidant nutrients.  Let’s review the benefits of these nutrients as they pertain to our natural skin care .    

Vitamin  E is the main fat-soluble antioxidant used in the body.  This means Vitamin E must be taken with foods containing fat in order to be assimilated. Vitamin E has the strongest healing ability of all vitamins. Although vitamin E is crucial to body health, it is not manufactured by the body. To receive the antioxidant effects of vitamin E, you will need to take more than the current RDA (recommended daily allowance).  A dosage of 800 to 1200 I.U. a day would suffice.  (You can split up the dosage and take at different times during the day). 

Vitamin E may be applied directly to the skin via lotions and creams, as it is a highly moisturizing oil.  Applied on the skin it can protect from UV ray, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and help to delay the progression of aging.  Taken either way, it helps heal scarring and wounds. If you have ever used Vitamin E on the skin, you’ll know that it is very thick and heavy. Because of this it is easier to use as a treatment left on the skin for a few hours and then washed off.   

Vitamin C is also an antioxidant. It helps LDL cholesterol from being oxidized in to its damaging form. It activates folic acid and prevents the oxidation of other vitamins.   Vitamin C helps the body heal itself, resist infection and build and maintain collagen and elastin. Our need for vitamin C increases with age. It strengthens the skin and capillary walls.  Fruits such as papaya, strawberries, and cantaloupe are high in vitamin C, as are dark green vegetables, cabbage, potatoes and rose hips.

Vitamin A is one of the two vitamins that can be absorbed by the skin.  It is highly beneficial to the hair and nails as well.  It helps fight acne and premenstrual skin eruptions. It increases blood flow, stimulates the skin and helps to keep it supple.  Vitamin A is the only vitamin that is stored by the body, making it potentially toxic if too much is stored.  This is why it is safer to take large doses of beta-carotene.  Beta carotene can be safely taken in doses ranging from 5000 to 25,000 I.U. daily.

Zinc is important in health skin and necessary for collegen formation.  It aids in assimilation of vitamins A and B and combines with Vitamin A for protein synthesis, which makes healing possible.  Good sources of zinc are eggs, fish, peas ,nuts ,beans, grain, sunflower seeds and dairy products. Zinc helps to prevent acne, regulates oil glands and clears skin problems.

Natural Skin Care Recipes What Does Oil Free Mean

Oil-Free is a meaningless claim meant to mislead consumers into buying a product that can actually clog pores.  There are plenty of products don’t sound like oils, but they can aggravate breakouts.   Simple moisturizing ingredients that are great for dry skin can wreak havoc on someone with oily skin or regular breakouts. 

Triglycerides, palmitate, stearates, myristates, stearic acid, plant oils (like jojoba oil), plant waxes, shea butter, Vitamin E, acrylates and many other ingredients can all clog pores.  These ingredients are used in moisturizers because they duplicate the natural lipids (sebum/oil) in our skin, which is great, UNLESS you happen to be having problems with the sebum being created in your pores,  adding more of the same kind of substance will only make things worse.  These ingredients show up in lots of so-called “oil free” products.

Many products claim to be “noncomedogenic” or “nonacnegenic” and maybe you have bought these products only to find out that they caused breakouts.  These terms are now being replaced with” hypoallergenic” on cosmetic labels.  These are all meaningless terms, just like Oil-Free.  The ingredient list is the place to go to find out whether a product may put your skin at risk.

DID YOU KNOW…..

Not everyone NEEDS or should be using MOISTURIZERS, especially woman  with oily skin, combination skin, or acne-prone skin.  Woman with dry skin only need one moisturizer (not including sunscreen).

Moisturizers are the most misunderstood, misused and abused product.  Things tend to get out of control in the cosmetic industry ( fancy bottles, high pricing and all kinds of promises)…and a lot of woman tend to overuse moisturizers, which can cause some surprising skin problems.

Most woman still believe moisturizers prevent wrinkles, and the mistaken notion that dry skin is more prone to wrinkles than oily skin , and is firmly planted in the consumer with a large selection of toning, lifting, and repairing crèmes, gels and lotions.

The only reason to use a moisturizer is if you have dry skin, or wrinkled skin that you want to smooth out ( moisturizers can smooth over, but not changed wrinkles).

If you have oily skin that breaks out, the worst thing to do is moisturize.  Pores get clogged and blackheads develop.  Dead skin cells get trapped and have a harder time naturally sloughing off (which makes your skin look dull).   You are also at a high risk of getting patches of dermatitis, increasing the number of breakouts and creating your own combination skin predicament.

So…How do I know if I need to Moisturize?

As a general rule, if you are using a mild cleanser and no other irritating skin products, and your skin feels dry after about 20-30 minutes after you wash your face, yo9u probably need to moisturize. If you skin feel tight, dehydrated, taut, or uncomfortable from dryness by mid-day or the end of the day, then it is essential to moisturize.  If you have fine lines that improve with a moisturizer, especially around the eyes, than go ahead with moisturizing.  Bear in mind that it is always best to use the most lightweight moisturizer possible.

The point:  If none of these problems are present, than you don’t have to moisturize.
