These are practical recommendations for successful linkage of lifestyle, internal health and wellness, and external skin care, which is key to ageless beauty.
Lifestyle
Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and limit exposure to the sunshine or use appropriate protection. Follow a program of exercise, weight control, relaxation (including adequate sleep), stress management and emotional health with a support network of family and friends.
Diet
Drink plenty of water and eat diets rich in fruits and vegetables, high in fiber and omega 3 fatty acids and low in processed carbohydrates and saturated fat. Avoid crush and extreme diets, they wreak havoc with internal health and skin appearance.
Supplements
Even with a well balanced diet, specially designed supplements promote internal health and wellness, slow aging and nourish the skin.
1. For basic wellness: An optimized, well balanced wide-spectrum supplement providing key nutrients and antioxidants which complement and enhance the body's antioxidant system: It should supply vitamin E as natural tocopherols plus tocotrienols, unesterified; vitamins A and C (supports collagen formation), CoQ10 and alpha-lipoic acid; natural carotenes (alpha, beta, gamma), lutein, lycopene and astaxanthin; selenium, zinc, copper and manganese in chelated form which support antioxidant enzymes in our body; folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12, which help maintain healthy skin.
2. For anti-aging benefits: Choose a vitamin E supplement, which supplies 400 IU plus 400 mmg of natural unesterified tocopherols plus tocotrienols. The form of vitamin E is critical for getting the anti-aging benefits.
3. For smooth (yet firm) skin: Choose a supplement which supplies omega-3 fatty acids as natural triglycerides, including 210 mg of EPA and 140 mg of DHA from premium cold water marine oils. It should also contain CoQ10 (20 mg), which is important for energy production in the cell and natural tocopherols and tocotrienols to maintain the freshness of the omega-3s. These supplements also support good circulation and healthy heart.
External Skin Care—with a Focus on Vitamin E
Vitamin E is the master antioxidant and antiaging vitamin. As such it is an essential component of skin treatment whether it is a facial massage, a mask, a night cream or treatment after ultrasonic cleansing. Despite the myriad of products and choices there are precious few products that supply the right form of vitamin E.
The Anti-Aging Bottom Line: Facial creams should supply the complete vitamin E family—tocopherols plus tocotrienols in their natural form in a liposomal base and should be formulated for immediate and lasting protection of the skin.
