Healthy, Natural Ways to Look 10 Years Younger

You don’t have to go under the knife or spend money on botox treatments in order to look ten years younger. Instead, make a few lifestyle changes and start treating yourself with a little TLC and you will be amazed at the results. Things such as sleep, diet, exercise and more play a huge role in your appearance. 

Getting a good night’s sleep is a sure-fire way to not only look younger, but to feel great as well. This is because while you sleep, cells go through a repair process and your body releases the hormone melatonin. This hormone has very positive effects on the skin. The result is radiant and youthful looking skin, fewer lines and less puffiness around the eyes. So do yourself a favor and get your z’s.

Be sure to eat a balanced diet, including lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Not only will this regimen help you to maintain a healthy weight, the vitamins and anti-oxidants in the fruit and veggies nourish your skin and hair. Having healthy skin and shiny hair is a definite recipe for a more youthful look.

While you’re at it, drink lots of water each day. Water cleanses your body of toxins and hydrates your skin. Hydrated skin just plain looks younger. While we’re talking about skin, don’t forget to protect your nicely hydrated skin by wearing sun screen. The damaging effects of the sun, including skin cancer, have been well documented and should be taken very seriously. Excessive exposure dries the skin and will eventually give it a leathery appearance at the least.

Be sure to wear a hat to provide further protection from the rays for the sensitive skin on your face. You don’t have to forego the healthy tanned look. Just use a tanning product instead of baking in the sun or in a tanning bed.

It’s important to use a good cleanser on your face each day to unclog pores and keep your skin from looking dry and dull. Don’t forget to moisturize after washing and this includes your entire body, not just your face. Your hands take a beating in the course of daily life. Slather on a layer of oil followed by rich lotion, nightly, to have soft, younger looking hands.

Exercise increases bone density and muscle tone. So get regular exercise, including a routine like Pilates or Yoga, to tighten sagging muscles. A fit, trim body looks younger. Not only will you be healthier and more energized on the outside, you’ll feel younger too.

Updating a haircut can cut years from a woman’s appearance. Consider highlights rather than simply dying your hair to soften your look. Find a cut that accentuates your best facial features and your lifestyle. Talk with your stylist about what type of cut and color will look best on you and try it, you never know you might just fall in love with your hair again.

Your lifestyle choices greatly affect whether you look ten years younger or ten years older. Smoking and drinking both negatively affect the aging process by blocking the absorption of necessary nutrients and over time cause damage to the major organs of the body. So, if you smoke or drink, quit and soon you’ll begin to look and feel younger. 

There are so many easy, natural ways to become a younger you. Once you’ve applied some of the tips above and started seeing a difference in yourself, try not to look too smug when people find out your true age.

Cosmetic Safety Database by Environmental Working Group

Skin Deep is a safety guide to cosmetics and personal care products brought to you by researchers at the Environmental Working Group.

Skin Deep pairs ingredients in more than 41,000 products against 50 definitive toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data resource of its kind. Why did a small nonprofit take on such a big project? Because the FDA doesn’t require companies to test their own products for safety.

The BPA Rollercoaster

The BPA Rollercoaster

Finally, some good news from FDA on bispenol A (BPA), the infamous toxic plastics chemical.

Thanks to scientists who refused to be intimidated by Big Plastics and the relentless hammering of parents, consumers, and health and environment advocates, FDA is being forced to reevaluate BPA. BPA is a synthetic estrogen and industrial chemical that leaches into food and drink from food cans and polycarbonate plastics. This time, we hope FDA will consider the hundreds of scientific studies that have linked BPA to a whole host of serious health problems. Earlier this month FDA’s own BPA subcommittee declared that the agency had used a “severely flawed” assessment when it refused to ban BPA from food packaging.

EWG researchers have been in the thick of this fight for several years, pressuring bureaucrats for change and providing everyday solutions for avoiding this nasty chemical.

The Science Behind Glimpse

BioActive X3 Complex has been shown in third party analysis and in-vitro studies to:

    1. Calm the signs of inflammation.
    2. Promote natural collagen production.
    3. Protect the skin against the oxidizing effects of free radicals.

1. Calm the signs of inflammation

BioActive X3 Complex calms inflammation in skin.

BioActive X3 Complex causes significant reduction in IL-6 (interleukin-6), a type of inflammatory cytokine.

2. Promote natural collagen production

BioActive X3 Complex supports collagen production in the skin.

BioActive X3 Complex increases type I collagen when added to the human skin cells.

3. Protect the skin against the oxidizing effects of free radicals

BioActive X3 Complex offers protection from free radicals and environmental stressors.

BioActive X3 Complex demonstrates significantly higher antioxidant activities compared to green tea and other cosmetic ingredients.

  • DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl): A stable free radical ideal for antioxidant studies because it is prevalent and independent from sample polarity.
  • SOD (superoxide dismutase): An enzyme produced in the body that provides antioxidant defense against superoxide. Superoxide is a natural byproduct of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). SOD protects the cells from superoxide toxicity through antioxidant activity.

What’s In Your Lotion - Toxins? Carcinogens? Allergens?

Despite having a hazard score of 10 (highest), phthalates are found in72% of cosmetics!

this harmful toxins so prevalent that one billion tons are produced every year! Yet phthalates are known to cause birth defects and reproductive mutations, particularly in males. They also mimic naturally occurring hormones which can adversely affect female brest tissue, a leading cause of brest cancer. Phthalates are baned in the European Union but are still allowed and used in American cosmetics. This ingredient is often disguised on personal care labels as “fragrance”.
