When we grow older our skin begins to degenerate. This is due to factors such as your lifestyle, the free radicals in your environment, the natural aging process, toxins in the air and the loss of both collagen and elastin. The end result of all of these things is wrinkles, sagging skin and fine lines that nobody likes. Fortunately there are some anti-aging creams, which are made from natural compounds and organic ingredients that will provide you with great results without any of the nasty side effects. There are also some very simple anti-aging skin care secrets that you should always bear in mind.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a very powerful anti-aging component, which is oftentimes referred to as "The Fountain of Youth." For this reason, some of the top skin care anti aging products are beginning to use it. Even ABC News has gotten in on this by producing a show entitled "The Village of Long Life: could Hyaluronic Acid be an Anti-Aging Remedy?" In this documentary Japanese people who included a large amount of vegetables and herbs in their daily diet were shown to have radiant, wrinkle-free skin well into their eighties. This is because Hyaluronic Acid absorbs the water within your body that supports the formation of the gel that keeps your healthy cell structures from becoming damaged.
The Importance Of A Healthy Diet
You also need to be careful what you eat. Unfortunately there are a lot of people today that eat anything that tastes good. This makes them overweight and speeds their skin's aging process and otherwise cause you to become unhealthy. While you may understand that this leads to the degeneration of your skin, what you may not know is that there are other types of foods that will help to regenerate your skin by increasing its collagen levels and thus making it look more radiant. For this reason, regardless of your age, you really need to look at the foods that you eat so that you will be able to avoid premature wrinkles. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't eat any of the foods that lead to degeneration but you should limit those foods and incorporate more of the regenerative foods into your diet.

Honey
Not only does honey have great medicinal value but it can also do a lot of great things for your skin.

Honey can also rejuvenate your skin by creating a plumping effect that will improve upon the appearance of any wrinkles that you may already have.
There are a lot of great beauty recipes that will make it easy for you to be able to incorporate honey into your daily routine at home. One such recipe is as follows: Mix two tablespoons of honey with two tablespoons of whole milk. Slightly warm this mixture up in your microwave. Once it is warm you will want to smooth into onto both your face and your eyes and allow it to sit there for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water. You will then want to splash some cold water on your face in order to close your pores.
