An effective Anti Aging Facial is designed to reduce the signs of aging by repairing damage to the superficial layers of the epidermis. Aging and the look of aging is not a simple matter. The look of your skin is determined by a number of factors. One of the most significant is your genetic history. Other factors which determine whether or not you will be susceptible to premature aging include:  your diet; any drugs you may take or have taken; if you smoke; your alcohol consumption; hormones; and your exposure to harmful UVA/UBA rays of the sun. All of these have a major impact on the health of your skin but the greatest impact of all is from the last one – the sun.

There’s a trick question many people get wrong, ‘What is the largest organ of the body?’ The answer – your skin! Not only does the skin cover every outer part of our body it covers every system and organ within the body too. Our skin serves a number of primary functions without which we would not survive the elements. Our skin absorbs moisture and nutrients; it regulates our body temperature; it allows us to eliminate or excrete sweat and toxins; it protects us from exposure; it permits us to sense our surroundings through touching and feeling. The skin is our first line of defense and takes the most punishment of all our organs. This is why it ages.

We can’t completely stop or reverse the signs of aging but the concept of anti aging is all about slowing the process down. If you’re interested in an anti aging facial which will help repair damage and slow down the signs of aging follow these simple steps -

1. Remove any and all makeup with a gentle, preferably all-natural makeup remover.

2. Cleanse your face using a soft cloth, warm water and a natural facial cleanser. Those containing Green Tea extracts are particularly effective. Gently rub the cleanser into your face and be sure to leave it on your skin for a few minutes.

3. De-fat the facial skin with alcohol or acetone. Use just a small amount on a cotton ball.  This will strip away all oil from your skin.

4. Apply your exfoliant.  There are numerous brands available but be sure to read the label and chose a quality brand.  Note: Be careful not to get any of these cleansers in your eyes and don’t get too close. Do not apply to your eye lids either. Leave the exfoliant on for a maximum of 10 minutes. To stop the exfoliant reaction with your skin rinse several times with cool water that has been blended with a few spoon fulls of baking soda. You may want to do this a few times over a few days to really get ride of that old dead or dying facial skin. Book a weekend off and stay out of the sun.

5. Apply anti aging Serum. The serum will penetrate deep into your facial tissue because the exfoliant has removed the thick dead layers of skin and open the path to younger open pores beneath.

6. Now be sure to use Anti-Aging moisturizing  lotion daily in the morning after you cleanse. If you are going to be outside at all make sure you use a moisturizer with a minimum SPF 30. Get in the habit of cleansing your face in the morning right after you rise and at night just before you go to bed.

Once you have done a few anti aging facials you will find your skin looks and feels younger. You may need to do this a few times a week in the beginning to see results and then drop to a monthly regiment thereafter. Be relaxed! Welcome to the new you – welcome to your anti aging face!
