Turn this around and more than half the battle is won. We'll talk more about that later. Let's first look at some basic factors that you need to consider.
First of all is the old enemy of the skin, the sun. Too much sun exposure can dry and toughen the skin, making it difficult to have soft & beautiful skin. When you are in the sun, make sure that you're wearing proper sun protection.
Your diet is also an important factor. Always drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated and to help with the transport of nutrients to the skin. A healthy diet rich in raw foods is also recommended.
Another factor that can prevent you from having beautiful, natural skin is smoking. Smoking causes cell damage, and the visible effects of this damage has only one place to manifest itself - your skin.
Finally, you should use top quality natural skin care products. Many ingredients in off-the-shelf skin care products can dry out the skin, or simply coat it with an artificial layer of oil. There are many harmful ingredients even in big name skin care brands, the details of which are shared in some of my other articles.
So, what should you be looking for? There are two crucial things that your skin care product needs to do to help keep your skin soft and beautiful.
Firstly, the product has to boost the levels of hyaluronic acid in your body. This is important because this acid helps the skin to retain moisture. A great example of such an ingredient is Phytessence Wakame, the extract of a type Japanese sea kelp. Not only does it help prevent the breakdown of hyaluronic acid, but it is also rich in B vitamins, which further aids the skin in retaining its natural moisture.
To further help the skin regain or retain its smoothness and softness, you need to increase the levels of collagen and elastin, the two proteins that give the skin its elasticity and suppleness. However, most skin creams don't provide any collagen benefits for the skin, while some others try to topically add collagen to the skin as part of the cream. This does not, however, solve the existing deficiency of these proteins in the skin.
The best way to restore your collagen is to help the body do it naturally. A rare ingredient in skin care products called Cynergy TK have been proven in clinical trials to stimulate the natural regrowth of collagen and elastin. If you can help to promote this biological function in your skin, you will take a massive step towards reversing the aging process and maintaining soft & beautiful skin.
So, to summarize: use natural products that work, be careful of the sun, maintain a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. That's it, you're on your way!
