Have you ever wondered what
it might be like to find the long lost Fountain of Youth? We can’t promise
you that, but we can give you a close second.
Your skin is the first
telltale sign of getting old. Starting today, get the facts about
“anti-aging” and what you can do to forestall it.
Hey, there’s no way you can
stop the aging process but there’s no reason why you can’t fight it kicking
and screaming all the way!
Do you know the two types of
aging that make your skin vulnerable? We address this in the first chapter.
Know your enemy! Learn how and why skin ages. Good grief, how can you fight
an enemy unless you have a full understanding of how and why it operates?
Once you understand how and
why your skin ages it makes the next step of identifying your skin type
almost child’s play in the next few chapters.
The Skinny on Skin Creams
Try counting the number of commercials you
see every day touting some new “miracle cream” that is guaranteed to make
you look the model. Yeah right!
Anti-aging goods and services account for
billions of dollars spent in the hopes of delaying the onset of skin aging.
This topic is covered in our chapter on skin cream and wrinkles.
Finally, get the “skinny on skin creams” and
find out which ones work and which ones don’t. Remember, those television
AND print ads are designed to separate you from your money.
Truth be told most of their claims are
slanted and unrealistic. Often you will find that there are low cost
solutions to the problems that these expensive creams are supposed to cure!
Sandpaper Skin Care
Well, it’s pretty close. Depending on who you
are and what skin type you have this can be a brutal process! They use
different names and supposedly produce miraculous results, but take a closer
look.
We’re talking about chemical skin peels. .
.wow, that sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi movie)! Then there’s
dermabrasion. . . yikes, did they dig that one up along with a mummy?
They are tortuous, expensive procedures that
are supposed to leave you with a new, younger looking top layer of skin and
a refreshing experience.
Hmmm, I think people with first degree burns
experience that as well and they certainly didn’t ask for it!
Now, if you are really into personal torture
you can graduate to the head of the class with Botox, Collagen injections,
laser procedures, facelifts and other invasive methods.
Be True to your Mother!
Mother Nature, that is. Some people have
liposuction. Others have fat moved from one body part to another. Others are
pushed, pulled and stretched into unnatural blobs of flesh. All this is done
in the name of youth.
It’s a fact that Mother Nature does have
tools in place that can give you optimal results helping you to look and
feel younger despite the ravages of time. We do discuss these natural
options as well.
What Can You Do?
Your skin is the largest single organ of your
body. It’s also the most vulnerable. Start educating yourself immediately!
There is no reason not to fight the aging process with every tool at your
disposal.
Your best defense is information and not
necessarily another $50.00 jar of the latest and greatest so-called cures!
