Put the three simple secrets of effective anti-aging skin care to work for your skin.

Protect: The single best strategy to keep your skin as young looking as possible is to protect it from damage.

Over time, it is sun damage that takes the worst toll on skin. Skin damage is cumulative, literally destroying the skin at little at a time over the course of decades! It is important to faithfully protect your skin by using sun screening products with both UVA and UBA protection. The sooner you start the better!

Restore: It is simply impossible to escape all the effects of aging although you can slow the process considerably with a proactive approach to caring for your skin. Providing your skin with treatments that contain age fighting antioxidants is a good start. Select products that include active anti-aging ingredients rich in antioxidants such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, Co-Q10, green tea, and copper peptides.

Nourish: Supplying the skin with a range of essential nutrients serves to "feed" your skin a balanced array of vitamins and minerals which provides your skin the resources it needs to continue to look its very best.

Choosing skin care treatments loaded with valuable active anti-aging ingredients ensures that skin will receive the nutrients it needs to remain healthier and younger looking.

And don't forget that an anti-aging lifestyle that includes a healthy well-balanced diet, plenty of exercise, and at least 7 to 8 hours of "beauty" sleep each night goes a long way to promote younger looking skin as well!

What's in your beauty toolbox?

F.K.L. shares her opinion on the best beauty tools to be sure to have in your beauty toolbox: Best Beauty Tools

Try this trick. . .

Sit down and place a mirror on your lap. Position your face in a horizontal position directly above the mirror. Now tip yourself forward and look into the mirror upside down. Your reflection will give you a clear indication on how your face will appear as it ages.

Scary, huh? Doesn't your image give you the incentive to take a proactive approach and begin a skin rejuvenation regime sooner rather than later?

Now hold a mirror horizontally above your face and look upwards into the mirror. You'll now see how much younger you could look by addressing your aging skin issues. Some also say that the reflection of yourself as you look upwards into the mirror is what you would look like if you had a facelift.

Thyme is also an excellent home remedy in treating acne. The herb has a rich history of medicinal uses in treating a variety of ailments.

For a reviving and cleansing skin care treatment mash thyme leaves, add a sprinkle of cornstarch, then drizzle in enough cider vinegar to form into a thin paste.

Pat the mixture on the face and let set for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse well with warm water. Save any unused portion in refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

A Little About The Skin Care Resource Center. . .

Sue has a Masters degree in Education from Boston University, is an avid researcher and a relentless bargain hunter. As an educator, data analyzer, and consumer advocate, Sue combined these skills to unravel the mysteries of anti-aging skin care and rejuvenation strategies, (and to share these simple secrets with you), into a one stop e-learning based website dedicated to facial rejuvenation, the Skin Care Resource Center.

Sue's enthusiasm for do-it-yourself skin rejuvenation actually began as a result of a cosmetic procedure her identical twin sister had done after they turned 40. Oh my! Thankfully, Sue's non-invasive skin care strategies work so well that the "before" and "after" look of the twins soon vanished. Proving beyond a doubt how well anti-aging skin care works. Sue and her twin sister's adventures in skin care along with her DIY anti-aging skin care strategies have been featured in Real Simple Magazine's Inspiring Beauty!

Along with DIY facial rejuvenation, Sue combines these strategies with the natural anti-aging properties of organic ingredients to put the powerful attributes of nature to work on aging skin to promote younger, healthier skin.
