Reaffirm facial skin naturally

One may have heard, probably too many times, that it is impolite to ask a woman her age. This is because a woman is very sensitive to her appearance and she doesn’t like the idea that her age is already showing. This is very evident in the number of beauty products that are advertised on television and in magazines to firm the skin on her face. However, what women should know is that it is not necessary to buy these beauty products. There is a cheaper and more effective way to keep your skin young and healthy.

It can be tempting to buy the products promoted in the media. In addition to getting celebrity endorsements, these products also have testimonials attesting to their effectiveness. Although some of these beauty creams and lotions work, some may contain ingredients that can be harmful to your skin in the long run.

Many facial creams and lotions on the market today claim that elastin and collagen help to firm facial skin. This is not a false statement, mind you, in fact, increasing both proteins can surely help prevent sagging skin. However, the mere application of elastin and collagen will not increase the levels of those proteins in your body; the two proteins are too large for absorption. Instead of relying on expensive beauty products, one should know how to increase the levels of these proteins in the body naturally.

Knowing how to naturally increase both elastin and collagen will go a long way in making sure your facial skin doesn’t sag. Both of these proteins can be easily boosted by taking plenty of vitamin C. Eating plenty of vitamin C-enriched fruits also helps fight ultraviolet rays, which are prime suspects in wrinkle production.

Another natural (and of course cheap) way to firm facial skin is by exercising facial muscles. There are many recommended facial exercises, such as raising the eyebrow from time to time or massaging the cheeks. The best facial exercise is still smiling. It’s easy to do and flexes the muscles at both ends of the mouth, thus preventing the first signs of wrinkles near the mouth.

With the number of beauty products that promise younger-looking skin and the celebrities that endorse them, one often goes out and buys them. Although they can be effective, they are sometimes too expensive for the working class girl. Thank God that there is another way to firm the skin of the face; and one does not need to shell out hundreds and thousands of dollars to naturally maintain youthful and healthy skin.
