With preventive measures can delay the aging.
Anti-aging cosmetic products not only help you. Effective preventive measures are UV-protection, stress management, tobacco avoidance and a skin-healthy diet.
Last year, the Germans have spent € 2.89 billion for skin care products (Source: IKW). This shows the importance to have the cosmetic products. Certainly, a consistent skin care is an important key to hit one over the age. In addition to this preparative anti-aging strategy, there are a number of preventive measures that influence the optical age of the skin positively.
Sun Protection and Anti-Aging
Without the sun no life would be possible on Earth. UV-rays provide a good mood, they stimulate the formation of vitamin D and have a positive effect on the immune system. But the sun also poses dangers. Too casual handling of their UV-A and UV-B rays can cause light-induced skin damage, allergic reactions, skin dryness, premature aging or even skin cancer. Light-induced skin aging (photoaging) is caused by the UV-A spectrum of the sun. UV-A rays penetrate deep into the skin and damage, among other things, responsible for elasticity and firmness of the skin collagen scaffold. It is known that the skin has a kind of memory. It forgets nothing, and revenge sooner or later for skin anti-social behavior. Therefore: Make sure that a good sunscreen, sunburn and cleverly avoided tan. Sunscreens and cosmetics is important, but it is not a license for hours sunbathing.
Beauty Killer Stress
Another factor for accelerated skin aging is stress. Those who work and at home is constantly under power, possibly even suffer from sleep-rhythm problems, must not be surprised if the skin is going crazy. Skin and mind are closely linked. Stress, but also psychological factors such as grief or worry go in the truest sense of the word "under the skin". For the varied interactions between psyche and skin there are scientific explanations. First, skin and nervous system have the same evolutionary origin, the other projecting into the nerve endings in the skin and infiltrate there messengers - that can be stress hormones - a. may explains why stress cause skin problems or aggravate existing skin disease. American scientists have recently also prove that excitement and anger weaken the anti-bacterial shield the outermost skin layer which can generate pimples and inflammation. Of course, stress can not be eliminated from modern life. But as long as after the hectic phase follows the relaxation, the body can speak his batteries are recharged again.
Oxidative stress is also considered one of the main causes of premature skin aging. It always occurs when oxidative reactions predominate in the body and the resulting free radicals by antioxidants no longer enough - known colloquially as "radical scavenger" called - can be intercepted. At the behavioral causes of oxidative stress are in addition to the aforementioned stress UV rays, smoking, poor diet or high-performance sport. Other causes are diseases or environmental stresses. There is evidence that oxidative stress increases with age. With a clever way of life, however, certain risk factors can be modified so that the reactive oxygen radicals can be compensated accordingly.
Nicotine abstinence and skin care to eat
That smokers generally do not have the most beautiful skin is well known. Unfortunately, the nicotine promotes the formation of wrinkles. Nicotine impairs the blood circulation, reducing the oxygen concentration in the blood, destroys the collagen and elastin fibers, promotes telangiectasia (broken capillaries). Who does not smoke or make the leap from smoker to Non smoking creates, already uses a good preventive measure against premature skin aging.
Recently, much has been reported about Beauty-Food. In fact, there are foods or substances that have a rejuvenating or even hautprotektives potential. What name would be on a beauty-food-list? Presumably isoflavones (you do not meet the vegetables and fruit), Omega-3 fatty acids (animal or vegetable sources: fish or high-quality vegetable oils), carotenoids (found in nearly all fruit and vegetables) and tocopherols (vitamin E forms, Others are found in vegetable oils, cabbage, soy and fish).
