Tips for Youthful Skin
(Information provided by Ziba day spa & art gallery )

Here are some simple things you can do to help keep your skin looking younger:

1. Avoid over-exposure to the sun. SOME sun is essential for your health. The trick is not to overdo it, and never let yourself burn. When outdoors in the middle of the day, limit your exposure to brief periods or wear a broad-brimmed hat and loose-fitting, light clothing. Sunblocks commonly contain toxic chemicals and also deny your body the many health benefits of natural sunlight so avoid using them where possible.

2. Maintain an even weight if you can. The cycle of gaining significant weight, then dieting and losing it can stretch and then slacken the skin and this contributes to sagging and wrinkles.

3. Use natural skincare and avoid toxic chemicals.Natural oils such as organic virgin coconut and olive are excellent to apply to skin; to hold in moisture as well as to take internally. Shankra has proved to make an exceptional massage oill for both face and for the body!

4. Relax! We're not just talking about relaxing the whole body, getting rest and so on, which are of course vital. We mean relax the muscles in your face. For instance, if you frown a lot, you can get a wrinkled brow as the muscles in your face force your skin into having lines or wrinkles over time. Try to keep a more serene or calm expression as your normal one.

5. Consume the right "fatty acids" in your diet. You've probably heard of omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in abundance in fish oils, for instance. Most people have far too little of the omega-3 and way too much of the omega-6, and this imbalance can lead to premature aging including wrinkles. Take Omega 3 supplements to help remedy the imbalance.

6. Avoid major sources of free-radicals such as cigarette smoke and pollution as much as possible. But to deal with the inevitable exposures to such things, consume a diet rich in anti-oxidants and trace minerals including fresh raw fruits and vegetables. Certain foods such as blueberries are excellent sources of antioxidants. "Green foods" such as barley grass and wheat grass which you can find in a number of supplements are also very valuable sources of antioxidants and trace minerals.
