Anti Aging Skin Tips

Just turned 30 and my skin is getting so dry...?

Ok, so I just turned 30 last month and perhaps it is just "psychological", but I sware I am starting to see laugh lines, less elasticity, and more dryness. Actually, a lot more dryness. Even my lips are cracking! I have not changed my routine at all. In fact, I just went out and bought the skin care line from Garnier..(cleanser, anti-aging cream etc), to help compat the problem, but it isn't really helping. Any advice?

1. Try a Clinique moisturizer. Go to your local Clinique counter and tell them what your problem is. They'll recommend a moisturizer perfect for your skin problem.
2. I can give you few remedies recommended in ancient indian ayurvedic formulas. Take a tablespoon of fresh mashed strawberries and mix in equal quantity of cream of milk, apply on face and neck. Leave for a few hours. Then remove with hot and then cold water. This makes the skin smooth and soft and removes tiny wrb1kles. In winters the dry skin turns drier. The best remedy for this is to apply liberal amount of til or sesame seed oil on the face~ and neck. Now apply a hot towel squeezed in hot water leaving the eyes and the nostrils clear. When the towel becomes cold, .again wring it out in hot water. Repeat this several times, then apply carrot and corn mask on the face and neck. Grind together carrots and corn and apply the paste on the face and neck. Leave it on for half an hour. The high protein content, Vitamin A and fat content soothes a dry skin while at the same time it contains the building material for a healthy skin. In hot days apply juice of grapes on face. This is nourishing and wonderfully refreshing at the same time. In the night, massage into the skin after you have steamed the face, apply a solution of unbeaten egg white mixed with a pinch of camphor and milk to make a loose paste. When this dries on the face, dab on warm honey which has been heated. When the honey is sticky dry, rinse and rub on the whole surface warm olive oil and blot dry. It is a delicate and fragile skin which is more prone to wrinkles. Dry skin is a sign of Vitamin A deficiency in the body. A teaspoon of olive oil mixed with few drops of lime juice. This not only lightens the skin but also makes it soft and supple. Hope this helps
3. I started using the Anti-Aging line from Arbonne. It is all natural & I love it. You can get it from the Arbonne website, or on ebay if you dont want to spend as much. I really like it & have noticed a difference in my skin.
4. You could try to find a multivitamin pilll that helps for that. ...
5. I swear by OLAY products. I have used them for a long time..
6. Try philosophy Hope in a Jar. I LOVE it. I get carded all the time and when they see how old I am they always say you do not look your age. I am almost 32 and a mother to three! QVC sells some great starter kits and they offer a 30 money back garuntee!
7. Dry skin can be a sign of an under active thyroid .Certain drugs, including ,antispasmodics, and antihistamines,can contribute to dry skin.Cocoa butter is a good skin cream and is not expensive.It also helps reduce skin wrinkling. Keep it in the refrigerator after opening. Eat a balanced diet that includes vegetables, fruits,grains,seeds,and nuts.Eat quality protein from vegetable sources. Increase your intake of raw foods.Eat foods high in sulfur, which helps to keep the skin smooth and youthful. Good sources include garlic,onions,eggs,and asparagus.Sulfur is also present in the amino acid L-cysteine,which can be purchased in pill form.Consume plenty of yellow and orange vegetables.Drink at least 2 quarts of quality water every day to keep the skin well hydrated.Avoid fried foods.Do not drink soft drinks or eat sugar,chocolate,potato chips,or other junk foods.Avoid alcohol and acffeine.These substances have a diuretic effect ,causing the body including the skin cells to lose fluids and essential minerals.Do not smoke ,and avoid secondhand smoke. Smoking has a harmful effect on the skin for several reasons.

10. I feel you. I too had noticed this problem. I have found that eating flaxseed has helped with the extreme dryness. I also use Aveeno moisturizer.....works wonders.
11. I don't know where you live, but I live in FL and during the Fall / Winter season I had a TERRIBLE time with my skin. I used Clinique then. At the same time my daughter developed acne and I tried Clinique (did not work), Ultima II (did not work) and even Proactive (What a Mistake!) My sister (an esthetician) talk to me about this products... Well back in the beginning of 2000 I did, my daughter's acne was gone and her skin today is beautiful and forget about my dryness during the Fall / Winter Season. I am 46 and people think I am lying! I am going to be honest. After trying the products and loving it I decided to become and associate back in 2003 and as of today. Everyone that tries them love them. The difference with what you bought and what I have is that the ones I use are tested with human cells, are scientifically based, transdermal, and pharmaceutical grade. Feel free to e-mail me for more information. On tests performed the results on elasticity improved 60% in 8 weeks, eliminated sign of dryness 100% in 8 weeks. I know that we get tired when we buy things that "over promise and under deliver" Once I found these products, well I have been using for a long time now and I don't think I will stop nor my daughter. Even her fiancee uses them : )
