As we age, our skin produces less collagen and elasticity that gives our skin its suppleness and tone. Dead skin cells are replaced more slowly and blood vessels slowly weaken, resulting in dull looking skin. For women going through hormonal changes, this exacerbates the process resulting in fine lines and wrinkles.
Is there a way to halt the ageing process, at least as far as our skin is concerned?
There are a few lifestyle changes that can help us restore our skin’s youthful appearance:
• Sun protection- Most skin damage is caused by ultraviolet rays. While sun exposure is beneficial (because it’s the best source of Vitamin D), it is recommended to apply sunscreen and try to stay out of the sun as much as possible.
• Stop smoking – Smoking is not only bad for our health, but it also makes our skin look older. The smoke dries up our skin and constricts the blood vessels, depriving the skin of the oxygen it needs to stay young and supple.
• Exercise- Improving posture and boosting circulation can help with a youthful appearance, while keeping skin hydrated with 8-10 glasses of water a day.
• Skin care regimen- The best thing to do is to cleanse in a moisturizing, gentle way and then use a good lightweight moisturizer. Exfoliating is good, but it must be done gently. The older you get, the less resilient your skin is, so stay away from products containing AHAs (fruit acids) because they are just too harsh.
• Diet- Eating fruits and vegetables containing natural antioxidants, help to combat skin cell damage.
It is also recommended:
• To eat foods high in alkali content such as papaya, mango, apples, and white cabbage.
• To take multivitamins, particularly Vitamin E and B complex which are beneficial for aging skin and Vitamin C for collagen production.
• To take Omega oil and fish oil supplements which contain amino acids.

Will Young - Keep On
$13.98 Personnel: Will Young (background vocals); Steve Lipson (guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, programming); Blair Mackichan (guitar, keyboards, programming, background vocals); Dan Carey (guitar, keyboards); John Themis, Tim Cansfield (guitar); Nitin Sawhney (acoustic guitar, piano, drums, programming); The London Session Orchestra (strings); Snake Davis (flute, baritone saxophone); Mark Feltham (harmonica); Ben Castle (tenor saxophone); Noel Langley, Tom Rees-Roberts (trumpet, flugelhorn); Pete Beachill (trombone); Jamie Hartman (piano); Jason Rebello (electric piano); Dave Clews (organ); Anne Dudley, Robin Thicke (keyboards); Pino Palladino, Sean Hurley (bass guitar); Luis Jardim (drums, percussion); Neil Conti, Steve Barney (drums); Steve Wolf (programming); Karen Ann Poole, Tracie Ackerman (background vocals).Audio Mixer: Heff Moraes.Recording information: Angel Recording Studios; The Aquarium, London, England; Whitfield Street Studios, London, England.Author: Will Young.Will Young was growing up. It had been three years since his unexpected win on the first season of Pop Idol and even at the time of his second album, Friday`s Child, he had stated his intention to distance himself from the moniker of being a TV reality show winner, especially as the careers of such winners tended to be notoriously short. So there he was on the cover of his third album, Keep On, looking remarkably like the actor Todd Carty, who played the weatherbeaten character of Mark Fowler on BBC-TVs Eastenders. On Keep On, Young was mature enough to write (or at least co-write) most of the tracks, including the first two, "Keep On" and "Switch It On," both quite funky numbers. Then came the album`s first ballad, "All Time Love," every bit as tuneful as "Anything Is Possible" or "Evergreen," his debut single and still the best-selling single of the 21st century. There was a mixture of styles on Keep On, from the salsa, holiday-inspired "Happiness" to the Justin Timberlake pastiche of "Ain`t Such a Bad Place to Be," on which even the Indian-style intro worked well, to the ballads "Save Yourself," "Who Am I," and the final song, "Home," a haunting atmospheric track co-written by Nitin Sawhney. Keep On ran out of steam near the end with three tracks, "Madness," "All I Want," and "Think About It," all again co-written by Young but nothing more than album fillers, none of them having much of a melody. Three singles were released from Keep On, "Switch It On," "All Time Love," and "Who Am I," all of which either reached or got pretty near the Top Ten, and there were a few other tracks that would have made great singles, too. Altogether an excellent pop album from an artist who was maturing very nicely as the years went by. ~ Sharon Mawer Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved. |
