Natural Facelift Systems and Common Signs of Aging
Posted by: Suzanne Costa in Face Lifts on April 27th, 2010
Why are people so occupied with the subject of aging and its common signs? In 2005 “Avon” did a survey and found that young girls, age 14-24 were already concerned with aging and how to avoid this problem. They claimed to have seen such things as dry flaky chapped skin, sunken under eyes and wrinkles and fine lines. The whole world has been consumed says many historians and not just “Avon.”
The search for the fountain of youth can be traced from the 3rd century with Alexander Romance to modern times with the mystical and very handsome David Copperfield. David Copperfield in 2006 bought a group of islands off the Bahamas claiming they held the fountain of youth. He paid 50 million for his islands. He stated, “the waters had magical, life altering healing powers” Now is this David the magician and illusionist or is this David the businessman?
There are so many ads that promise us eternal beauty from creams and lotions to ultrasound facials. As the world becomes so consumed with beauty, we must step back and ask our self if we are truly taking care of our self or are we simply opting to go the surgery route. Plastic surgery is in demand and increasingly rising. In 2008 it was reported that there were over 10.2 million people who had cosmetic procedures done, both natural and surgical. Is this the new rave or just pure insanity? Many may go to these lengths to correct some of these common problems and a few are listed here:
Crow’s feet One of the first signs of aging, especially for women, is often crow’s feet, which are three little lines that find homes at the outer corners of the eyes. Crow’s feet are a common result of sun damage, squinting and exposure. Crow’s feet are often treated with collagen, Restylane and Botox injections, but there are also many topical creams available on the retail market as well.
Prevention is worth its weight in gold, so make sure not to squint. Try wearing a large brim hat and dark sunglasses. If you must be in the sun, wear a good sun screen also. A diet rich in berries is suggested and the consumption of flax seed oil added daily.
Wrinkles around the mouth and nose are another common sign of aging and one that can be alleviated early on in life by smiling more. Frowning will put on more wrinkles than a nice sweet smile. Avoid such things as alcohol, smoking and drug abuse and switch to a diet rich in antioxidants. drink lots of water and keep your skin as hydrated as possible.

Getting Rid of Crows’ Feet
Posted by: Suzanne Costa in Aging Information, Natural Treatments on January 23rd, 2010
Many women fear the appearance of aging worse than just about any other cosmetic problem associated with their face. Crows’ feet, tiny lines at the corner of a woman’s eyes, are often the first sign of aging, and one of the most common reasons for cosmetic surgery. However, there is nothing that says a home remedy cannot be an adequate substitute for a facelift in this case, and some of these at-home treatments work just as well as surgery without all of the dangerous side effects or hefty price tags.
Getting rid of crows’ feet does not have to mean trip to the operating room and a long recovery time. Moisturize the area frequently in order to keep crows’ feet from appearing in the first place, or to at least prolong the inevitable. Let’s face facts, we all age, and aging takes a toll on our bodies. When we spend the majority of our time outdoors, these signs of aging become more apparent much earlier in life (around the 30-year mark instead of closer to 40). Make sure to use a cream that offers glycolic acid, which encourages the growth of skin cells that are fresh and new, replacing wrinkles.
This video will show you some of the hazards that are common when you try to get rid of crow’s feet through the use of plastic surgery:
Another way to is by using sunscreen. The sun is the biggest contributing factor to this sign of aging, and protecting your sensitive skin can be a great way to make use of proactive remedies. Reapply the sunscreen as needed, and wear a hat or sunglasses to further protect your face.
There are some other very effective home remedies for getting rid of crows’ feet once they have begun to appear. They include, but are not limited to:
The Citrus Remedy. Blend a teaspoon of lemon juice with a tablespoon of orange extract. Apply this mixture directly to the crows’ feet, and leave this on the skin for 10 minutes. This method offers very fast results.
An Oily Approach. Oil is a natural lubricant, and works great for this application. Blend a tablespoon of castor oil with an equal amount of sesame oil. Apply to your whole face. Leave the mixture on your face overnight, and rinse well with warm soapy water in the morning.
Avocado and Almonds--A Cure for Crows' Feet
The A’s Have It. Finally, one of the most popular at-home wrinkle remedies involves avocado and almond. Blend three teaspoons of sweet almond with a whole avocado. Dab the mixture on the fine lines and leave on for about fifteen minutes. This works great for fine lines all over the face.
It is not a must to opt for expensive and dangerous facelifts for crows feet when there are so many at-home remedies that work just as well for a fraction of the price and virtually no downtime at all. With no recovery needed, they are definitely an excellent alternative to going under the knife!
