When you look at someone and try to determine how old they are there are various different areas that you will look at as signs of age.
You will look at hair color and/or lack of hair. You will look at teeth discoloration and even such things as posture but there is one thing that will show a persons age more than anything else and that is their skin.
Your skin is a mirror of your lifestyle and the choices you have made thus far in your life.
Discoloration and blotches are a sign of age and the way that hormones change over the years and also a sign of years of exposure to the sun.
Dry skin is a sign of dehydration and this can also lead to flaky skin and various other problems that people will associate with aging.
Dehydrated skin will also be more prone to wrinkles and add another factor to the aging process. The skin loses it’s flexibility as we age and good nutrition, water and the use of good quality skin care products will help to slow down the aging process and make you look younger.
By using good skin care products you can wind back the body clock and keep that area of the body that is so telling on your age in the best condition possible.
We all have different skin types, from oily to dry and all different combinations in between so it will often take some experimentation before you find the right products for your skin. There will be products that you might not be able to use due to various skin sensitivities and so on. Once you find a product that suits your skin type it is wise to stick with it while it is working for you but always be aware that as you age you might need to change some of the products that you use simply because your skin will change with age and you will need to address changing aspects of it over time.
