The background of our concerns about aging is fully described online in Wikipedia anti aging.

Products you can use to help stem your skin’s aging process do not need to be expensive items purchased from well-known cosmetic companies. This advice was given to me by a friend who worked many years for a world-famous cosmetics company.

Even on his own skin he used the inexpensive creams and moisturizers sold in drug stores with little-known labels. He told me that the main ingredients were the same as the well-known ones minus the expensive perfumes and packaging.

I have used Ponds Cold Cream, Vaseline, even olive oil. My skin looks at least ten years younger than my 70 years.

One of the most important things for the skin is good hygiene. You can use baking soda and sea salt mixed together, rub the skin gently, to exfoliate the dead cells and make the skin glow.

Some other important things to remember are hydration and basic good health. Drink lots of water and eat healthy foods.

Smoking accelerates aging, so don’t smoke. The sun damages the skin, so stay out of the sun as much as possible and use sunscreen.

Remember that good nutrition will help delay the aging process from the inside out.
