In this article, we look at some statements made by an author (whom I will not name) of a skin care book and review how valid these are. Skin care secrets are not secrets at all. Most of the time skin care is simple common sense. Unfortunately common sense is not very common... Author's statement - Skin care secret #1: You can clean your skin, but you can't "deep-clean" it. Comment: Anyone reading our article on natural facial clays knows the author of the above statement is not a 'deep-thinker'. Clays draw toxins and other waste materials lodged in the pores of the skin out and are more effective than any water-soluble cleansers. The properties of Green Clay for example are very powerful in drawing toxins, micro-organisms and even bacteria into the clay for easy removal. This is why Green Clay products are often used to treat skin conditions such as acne. Author's statement - Skin care secret #2: Dry skin doesn't wrinkle any more or less than oily skin.

Aging causes the skin to become more fragile. It should thus come as no surprise to learn that for older adults who desire good skin care, the following phrase must be viewed separately as synonymous: skin care moisturizer cream. When a cream contains a moisturizer, then that cream has the ability to delay the natural aging process. The daily application of a good cream can prevent the onset of skin problems.

Anti-aging is a bit of a misnomer and I've yet to meet anyone who has turned back the hands of time. However, as we age our skin becomes depleted of nourishment and hydration which leads to pre-mature skin aging. Antiaging skin care are formulated to renew and reclaim our youthful appearance. Through a combination of hydration, protection with antioxidants, and anti wrinkle creams, lotions and moisturizers, those of us in the baby-boomer stage of life can add years to aging or damaged skin. Antiaging skin care begins with several fundamentals we should all follow together with the use of effective skin care. Diet, fitness and health, together with maintaining proper hydration for healthy cell membranes and a bit of scientific "know-how", allows us to look years younger, slow or halt pre-mature aging, improve suppleness and smoothness, and somewhat "turn back the hands of time". Keeping Your Skin Clean As simple as this may sound, many skin problems result from lack of proper cleansing. Clogged pores can cause skin rashes, rosacea, blackheads and whiteheads, and prevent the proper irrigation of pores.
