The Nine Evil Enemies Of Your Skin:
Drugs and medications may have an adverse effect
on the skin. Many medications impact the skin in a variety of ways.
Discuss the potential side effects with your doctor and adjust your
skin care program accordingly
Another subject under
study shows that there is probably a link between alcohol consumption
and aging. Alcoholics show signs of increased aging, but study results
seem to indicate that it is more a matter of how your body processes
alcohol rather than if you drink or not. Alcohol can leave toxic
by-products in the tissues that can speed up aging. It can also
weaken capillary walls and cause blotchiness. In addition, alcohol
draws water out of the tissues and leaves the skin dull and dehydrated.
However, moderate intake is perfectly okay and may even be beneficial.
The skin ages due to
the deterioration of the elastic tissues (composed of elastin and
collagen). In most cases, the skin becomes dry/dehydrated, age spots
occur and some people notice small broken capillaries. Premature
aging can be prevented to some extent by a daily skin care program,
and well balanced diet and avoiding things that are known to speed
the aging process. One of the best preventative measures you can
take is to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of pure water a day - STAY
HYDRATED FOR HEALTHY
Exercise improves blood
circulation and improves the tone of the skin, resulting in a healthy
glow. It also improves the skin's elasticity, strength and firmness
