You are not alone if you want perfect skin. Who does not want skin that does not show the signs of our age and is plump and youthful looking, not to mention healthy? We all do! We find ourselves falling for all the advertisements that promise us a face-lift in a jar or a miraculous cure for our skin related problems and yet very often we are left disappointed and disillusioned. Even if you are only in your 20s or 30s you should be thinking about taking care of you skin even if you do not really think that you have to be concerned as yet. Did you know that your skin's youthful appearance actually has more to do with how it is looked after and treated than it does with your age? For example if you expose your skin to too much sun, if you smoke or if you are stressed out, you skin could very well behave like the skin of an older person. You will lose collagen, that healthy glow we all love and elasticity. You will start to see fine lines and wrinkles appearing sooner rather than later and you might even notice that your skin looks dull. The good news is that preventing damage is easy but repairing skin damage is not. You really can do something about skin that is aging prematurely and you can even do something to reverse the signs of aging to a point. If you want perfect skin (and who does not?) there are some tips that you can begin to implement in your life that will help to not only slow down the aging process but also to reverse it so that your skin will look and feel younger. The following tips will help you to achieve your skin care goals if you are prepared to be consistent: 1. If you smoke - quit! If you really take a good look at someone who has smoked all of their lives you will notice that their skin looks dull, wrinkly, and just plain unhealthy. Next to sun damage smoking is the main cause of skin damage because of the nicotine that cigarettes contain. Nicotine is known to constrict the blood vessels and it prevents oxygen from reaching the skin. The skin needs blood and oxygen if it is to hold onto its youthful appearance. 2. Use Retinol When you use a skin care product that contains retinol you can be sure that you will be doing wonders for your skin. This is an anti-aging product that actually does work and it is not harmful either since it is basically just Vitamin A. You will soon notice that your skin will not look as dull anymore. 3. Exfoliate Exfoliation is great when you are aiming for perfect skin because it removes the layer of dead skin cells and promotes faster skin cell growth. You do not have to purchase an exfoliating product that contains all sorts of harmful chemicals in order to achieve results. All you need is a lemon and some sugar! You will find many wonderfully effective remedies that you can mix at home using ingredients many people already have in their kitchen. 4. Indulge in a facial Facials are wonderful and only need to be done once a week or so. Again there are great natural skin care products that are perfect for this purpose or you can mix your own ingredients to make your own facial system. You will need to cleanse the skin, exfoliate it, use a hydrating mask, a toner, and a moisturizer for best results. 5. Sunscreen is a must! Never venture outdoors without wearing sunscreen! It does not matter what the weather may be like outside. You need to ensure that your skin is protected against the harmful rays of the sun at all times because just twenty minutes in the sun can result in skin damage. 6. Moisturize If you moisturize it will definitely help to improve the appearance of wrinkles. Since the signs of aging very often show up around the eyes first be sure to consider a good natural eye cream as well. While there are those that insist that eye creams are not beneficial others insist that they do work. Do you want to know more about how to achieve perfect skin?
