Aging - Why Most Girls Age Fast

By Wendy Brock

There are certain factors that make girls age faster: sunlight, caffeine, alcohol, smoking, stress, and make-up. When avoiding these factors, the aging process is slowed down and true natural beauty is dominant. Here is the list of what makes girls age faster:

SUNLIGHT overexposure and tanning beds: A suntan does not represent a healthy glow like most people believe. Actually, it's a key indicator of skin damage. By the time a girl is beyond middle age, the damage of prolonged tanning is irreversible. This damage is shown in ways of dry, leathery skin and pronounced wrinkles. By avoiding sun exposure and tanning beds, and using sunscreen lotions, a girl can extend her youthful appearance.

CAFFEINE: A can of soda or a cup of coffee produces drying effects on the skin. If a girl does not drink enough water to counteract the salt intake from these high caffeine drinks, skin becomes ashy and dull. Regular caffeine intake makes a girl age faster.

ALCOHOL: Alcohol can also dry the skin. If consumed heavily, it can cause broken capillaries under the eyes. These dark puffy circles cause a girl to look older.

SMOKING: The harsh chemicals, exposure to smoke and the carbon monoxide causes many effects on the skin. From drying the skin to causing a yellow discoloration, these factors create an aged appearance in girls.

STRESS: Stress has a way of messing up many types of body functions, but none like causing wrinkles. When a girl is under stress, the first area that tenses up is her eyebrows. This wrinkle can add years to a girl.

MAKE-UP: Cosmetics are a fabulous way to look and feel great, but if not properly removed each night, the effects can be serious signs of aging. Leaving eye make-up on overnight is a surefire way to develop premature crow's feet. This is how girls age fast.

There are different environmental reasons why girls age faster. If a girl is practicing any one of the above habits or behaviors, she is sure to age faster. Avoiding these will help slow the aging process and lengthen a healthy youthful appearance.

  2. I've never smoked and I drink relatively little (only wine, no spirits). I do drink coffee. But the real problem for me is the sun. I lived in the tropics for 2 years and with a fair skin I am now paying for it. I have a skin condition called porokeratosis of Mibelli (how's that for a spelling test!) and although it is not on my face it is very unsightly. During the spring/summer months I wear suncream 50 and apply it at least 3 times a day. I keep a pot in the bathroom, kitchen, car, workroom and pool house. That way I have no excuses! But I hate it because it really clogs up the skin.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
