Anti-aging methods - Handle with wrinkles

Cigarette smoke, drugs, air pollution, alcohol, radiation from television and especially computers, a busy life and chemicals. These are all the factors, which generate the free radicals and cause “oxidative stress” in our body. Free radicals attack all our vital cellular structures such as cell membranes, which have been related to accelerated cellular aging and also wrinkles. From this stand point our body needs antioxidants, whose job is to neutralize the free radical cells and to protect the cells in our body from accelerated aging and wrinkles.
Symptoms of aging can be categorized such as: Increasing and clear wrinkles, dry and dull skin, pale or ashy skin colour, skin with the loss of elasticity and age spots. Since symptoms are overlapped, you have to find the anti-aging method that will work best for you. If you have trouble finding the best anti-aging method, here are some guidelines that can help you handle with your wrinkles:
First of all you have to clean your face every night before you go to sleep. You should moisturize your skin in order to provide an intense hydration. Your moisturizing cream must include essential fatty acids and ceramides. In addition to these, your cream should include antioxidant protection such as: Real OPCs, which is extracted from grape seeds and pine bark, vitamin E and C. These antioxidants help to neutralize aging free radicals.
Anti-inflammatories, such as Green tea, is also very important in order to diminish irritation. You should avoid using harsh products, which are too heavily fragranced. Using such products will cause an irritation especially in dry skin.

Another important method for anti-aging is to avoid excessive sunlight especially between the hours of 10.00 AM to 3.00 PM, when the radiation of the sun is very high. Sunlight has a profound effect on the skin; both UVA and UVB radiation will cause skin damage, especially wrinkles. You must use a cream, that has Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or greater, you have to apply the cream half an hour before you go out in the sun.
Another issue, that I want to add, is that you have to protect your skin, not only from the outside, but also from the inside. You have to eat vegetables and fruits and you should buy vitamin tablets. Dermatologists also say that vitamin B6 is very essential for a healthy skin. Last anti-aging method that I want to add is: Think positive - look smarter. This is the motto that will make you look younger.
