Collagen is essential complex protein found all over the human body. It is this protein which binds many of the body tissues together such as muscles and cartilage, tendons, skin and bone. As we grow older, there is reduction in body collagen which often leads to reduction of connectivity resulting in skin wrinkles and sagging.”
When a woman accepts it as a natural process , then she wouldn’t be overtly afraid to avoid aging completely but will only take concerted efforts to work on herself and appear younger, attractive within the boundaries of her health, well being and self esteem.
Unamba said the use of anti-aging products can help handle collagen deficiency. These products which are in the form of supplements and cosmetics help the body to produce collagen. The best anti-aging cosmetics such as creams and lip plumper make use of unique formula of ingredients combination to activate the increased production of collagen in the body.
He said: “ there are natural ways to help you reduce the impact of aging without going through the painful stress of surgery, or bothering about expensive prescription drugs. These involve the use of anti-aging products which aid the body to naturally stimulate the production of collagen, and HGH in the body. Although, a lot of products which claim to do these are not so effective, either as a result of not containing the correct active ingredients, or the ingredients are not contained in the right proportions. So, if you are looking for effective anti-aging products be sure to check for testimonials, and reviews of these products before you make a decision.”
He said those who want to go for surgery, or prescription drugs should make sure it is not at the expense of their health.
Lara Vele, a professional blogger and published writer is of the opinion that a woman can age gracefully and naturally by eating healthy and by using help from her kitchen . “If you take care of yourself internally by eating healthy, then your skin will show it. When you have bad eating habits, that can show on your skin too. There are a lot of great natural skin care products out there, but it often means spending quite a bit of money. There are other cost effective ways to do the same with ingredients found in your pantry and kitchen.”
She gave the following factors that can cause wrinkles and make you look older plus, some beauty tips on correcting them.
- The older you are, the less elastic your skin becomes. So sleeping on your face is not an ideal sleeping position. One night of sleeping on your face isn’t going to cause wrinkles, but sleeping that way for a number of years will. The best position is sleeping on your back as sleeping on your side will also cause wrinkles.
-Drink water daily to hydrate your body. Your body is made up largely from water so it makes sense to replenish with water. How much is enough? It makes more sense if you divide your body weight by two and then drink half of the amount of your body weight in ounces. For example, if you’re 170 lbs, you need to drink 85 ounces of water daily.
-Always remove your make-up at night. The last thing you want is clogged pores and it’s just plain awful.
- If you smoke, stop! It’s horrible for your skin, teeth, fingers, breath...need I say more?
- Use sunscreen on your face with at least a SPF 15. There are many facial moisturizers have that SPF in it so it doesn’t feel heavy or feel like you have sunscreen on.
- Wear sunglasses and/or hat to prevent squinting and to protect your eyes from the UV rays.
-Exfoliate your skin often to remove dead skin and to stimulate new skin cell growth.
- Get enough sleep to prevent dark circles or bags under your eyes. When you’re tired, your skin also looks tired and lifeless.
- De-stress by exercising, meditating or whatever you do to relax. Exercising gets your blood circulating and gives you a healthy glow. Find some time to relax.
-Don’t exaggerate your facial expressions by making frown creases on your forehead, raising your eyebrows or squinting. Also, don’t rest your chin in the palms of your hands or put your hand against your face to hold up your head.
She recommended items in the kitchen that could help as honey. “ Honey has many benefits when used on the skin. It’s an antioxidant and anti-microbial; it can treat minor irritations and sun burns. You can also make homemade facemasks with avocado , Oatmeal, Egg yolk among others. Use egg white alone to tone and tighten your skin. It’s good for normal to oily skin.
