While the scientific jury is supposedly still out on the benefits of herbal skin cleansing, the proof is in its history.  Going back to the times of the Egyptians and Romans, herbs used to clean the skin has been the proper method.  Natural herbs are long reported to be the best to use against acne, dry skin and other skin problem.  If you’re a skeptic of herbal medicine, try it for a week and see how it treats you.

There are several contradictory reports of going to a tanning salon versus tanning in the sun.  Obviously because we are burdened with something like weather, it’s not possible to tan year round unless you do visit a salon.  But as summer is fast approaching, this post should also serve as a reminder that you need to use sunscreen before you hit the beach and the outdoors in general.

If you go outside to tan without skin protection, it will have an adverse effect on skin rejuvenation, and instead cause early aging.  In addition to using a sunblock, you may want to also wear a hat and keep your shoulders covered with a light shirt.

In addition to impeccable skin care, another anti-aging recommendation is to eat a diet low in fat and high in complex carbohydrates and to exercise on a regular basis.  A simple change in your diet (such as eating brown rice instead of white rice and reducing the amount of dairy and meat) will help preserve a youthful appearance, as well as allow your body to continue operating as a healthy unit.  Similarly, a 20-minute jog, three times a week, will also keep your body running well.  Consistent exercise will prevent muscle and bone atrophy and will work on the negative aging effects that crèmes and other skin products cannot stop.
