Best Facial Skin Care Products for Anti Aging Skin



Facial skin care is an essential key of anti aging. If you want to look younger, then take good care of your skin, period!

Your complexion can make or break the way you look!

Clean clear skin attracts. Dull zitty skin detracts!

This may sound strange but it's actually good to ‘burn your face’ from time to time. It's not as bad as it actually sounds though. Sloughing of the skin creates a light skin peel that helps exfoliate dead superficial skin cells that lie dormant on the skin's surface. When you slough the skin regularly, the new brighter skin below the skin's surface is revealed.

Remember that all skin is not created equal! The skin on your face is different than the skin on any other part of your body. It's more delicate and prone to the conditions in the environment around you because it's always exposed. A glowing, healthy complexion is imperative if you want to look great!

Best Facial Skin Care Products

  • The first product to use is an alpha hydroxy lotion, which contain mild acids that gently peel your skin and slough off dead, old skin cells. This process takes place by itself over time but using AHA's helps speed things up. Using AHA's helps renew and rejuvenate your skin from the inside out.

    Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion works well for normal to oily skin. If you have dry skin or sensitive skin, use a very low percentage alpha hydroxy product. Most organic alpha hydroxy facial lotions are especially formulated for dry or sensitive skin.

  • The second facial skin care product is a good toner. Toners are essential because they help shrink and deep clean pores and maintain the natural pH balance of your skin.

    As you age, your skin expands. When facial skin expands, pores also expand. That's why your pores get larger over time. The larger your pores, the more dirt and bacteria can get into your skin and the more problematic your skin can become. Shrinking your pores is a sensible way to keep out bacteria.

    Using toners helps keep your skin in good shape! That's why they're called toners. They can actually tone the skin.

    Most toner’s include an ingredient called salicylic acids. These are completely safe for your skin but you should know which one to buy for your skin type. The stronger the percentage of salicylic acid, the more 'tingle' you will feel when you use it.

    Salicylic acids help slough off dead superficial facial skin cells and help create a very slight peel to the skin at a very slow rate. The dead skin cells are replaced by new skin cells. Over time, this cell 'turnover rate' will help your skin look so much younger and healthier!

    If you have oily skin you'll need to use a stronger percentage salicylic acid toner. There are some great toner's on the market. Neutrogena Pore Refining Toner and Olay Refreshing Toner have higher percentage hydroxy acids and work well with your skin type.

    If you have normal to dry skin, use a toner with a slightly lower percentage salicylic acid. Organic toners work well for your skin. If you have very dry, sensitive skin, use products like Kiss My Face Organic Toner, which has natural salicylic acids.

    Toners are essential keeping your face clean and clear. Toners and AHA's together are an essential part of daily facial skin care.

    If toners and AHA's aren't quite doing it for you, you may want to consider a chemical peel. Chemical peels use 'acids' in stronger percentages to help renew your skin. Used to be that these were only available in a doctor's office. These same products are now available online but great care must be used to follow directions very carefully or you could actually do more harm than good.

    Did You Know?

  • Studies have shown that people who have oily skin may stay younger looking longer because of the oils in their skin, but they are also more prone to have larger pores. If you have normal to oily skin your pores may become enlarged as you age.

  • If you zip your facial hair, (use a depilatory wax), leg hair, or bikini line hair, always use a toner afterward.

    Hot wax applied to your skin changes its natural pH balance. They are very acid in nature. Toners are very alkaline and help to re-balance the skin's pH, which naturally soothes your skin.

    The area that you 'zip' will always look red or inflamed and maybe even feel like your skin is on FIRE. Using a toner will put out the FIRE and neutralize it!

    Using some dependable facial skin care products should be part of a your daily skin care routine.
