Natural Skin Care Products You Can Make At Home

By Dan Allen

There are so many anti aging skin treatments available on the market right now that it's virtually a minefield out there. Not all of the available products work equally well, so it pays to make sure you at least have enough knowledge to be able to spot a scam when you see one and find an effective anti aging skin treatment right for you.

A good starting point is to know what makes skin ages. There are 2 types of processes at work here: intrinsic (natural) and extrinsic (external).Very often the process of natural aging already starts while we are still in our 20s. It does not become evident until we are much older in most cases. Collagen output becomes less. The elasticity of the skin decreases. The body does not replace dead skin cells as fast as it used to. With aging the signals become even more evident: wrinkles that start off small and then grow more pronounced; our cheeks become hollow since there is less fat below the skin, our nails become thinner and brittle, our hair starts to gray. It is at this point that many women turn to an anti aging skin treatment to start to repair what nature has taken away.

External aging is a result of vulnerability to extraneous elements. The most crucial perpetrator here is years of exposure to the sun. The sun starts to breaks down the elasticity of your skin, like a piece of leather. Wrinkles start to form. The reason for this is that the sun suppresses output of collagen and sabotages the elastin in your skin. The final outcome may be skin cancer. Anti aging skin treatment during the younger years may help to prevent some of the damage of growing older.

Other extraneous factors contributing to the way our skin ages include gravitational force (simply drawing things down!), often repeated facial gestures (like frowning or grinning), the position you sleep in with your face, and smoke inhalation.

Good anti aging skin treatment will therefore in the first place have to examine the causes why your skin is aging. This is different for every person, so a single solution that will work for everybody simply does not exist.

There is a vast array of over the counter products available to counter aging skin. Some of the most popular are: facial masks, skin lighteners, blemish removers, scrubs & exfoliants, skin revitalizers, and different types of night treatments.

It is therefore be a good idea to visit a dermatologist to determine which type of anti aging skin treatment you need. He/she will study your skin type, discuss your lifestyle and the effect is has on your skin with you, , and then recommend which of the many different types of products in the marketplace would be the best for you.
