eleven quick tips for keeping your skin young...

I came across these tips for keeping your skin young and healthy. Do you agree? Disagree? Have anything to add? I agree on most but have heard mixed reviews on applying moisturizer at night.

  1. Cover Up from the sun between 10AM and 2PM.
  2. Upgrade your SPF to a broadspectrum SPF 30.
  3. Sleep.
  4. Moisturize at night when your body temp is higher.
  5. Drink lots of water.
  6. De-stress, don't make your defense mechanisms work overtime.
  7. Do Cardio to move oxygen through the body and sweat impurities from the pores.
  8. Give Yoga a try to tone and condition the muscles your skin is attached to.
  9. Eat antioxidants, the skins best friend.
  10. Trade your coffee for green tea and sip the powerful antioxidant EGCG.
  11. Pick the right wrinkle fighters for your skin type.

Sometimes I moisturize at night and sometimes I don't. It just depends on how my skin feels.

But I also agree with the sunscreen; even if you are driving or running errands, slap some on!

Mio,I agree, I tend to do that as well (listen to my skin and go from there...)

Yvonne, it's like drinking water. There's that old myth about we have to drink 8 glasses of water a day; my body tells me when I need to hydrate and how many glasses of water to drink. When it's extremely hot outside I skip the soda or any sugary drinks and drink water. Sure I may be running to the bathroom every half hour, but it's too hot out!

In the winter I don't drink as much... I'm afraid I'll freeze! LOL. ;)
