Taking care of our skin as you age is an important part of our overall health. Aging causes skin to sag and wrinkle, however, it can also make skin less resistant to external factors such as pollution and solar radiation.

UV radiation is one of the biggest causes of premature aging. Besides leading to hyperpigmentation problems, it can also cause premature wrinkling, dryness and even skin cancer. In fact, one of the most important parts of aging skin care is learning how to avoid and fight the common problems caused by excessive UV radiation.

Tip One - Don't Expose Yourself to Too Much Sun

UV exposure produces free radicals, which are known to lead to the destruction of healthy cells. In order to avoid this, you need to moderate the time you spend in the sun. Even though you think that a nice tan gives your skin a healthy glow, it is actually considered sun damage.

If you want to have that sun-kissed look, then it would be wise if you used a self tanning lotion instead. Remember that sun damage is cumulative. Even if you haven't noticed any damage yet, you will in a couple of years.

Tip Two - A Sunscreen Could Save Your Life

Don't go outdoors unless you are wearing sunscreen. All you have to do is use a sunscreen that has, at least, SPF30 and reapply often to maintain the product's protection level.

Whether you decide to surround yourself with natural skin care products instead of traditional products, make sure that you always use a traditional sunscreen. Natural products can be used as a complement to a good sunscreen, but they can never replace it.

Protective clothing can also be used to shield your skin from the sun. This means wearing wide-brimmed hats and long sleeved shirts in a light weight fabric. Don't forget to use sunglasses to protect your eyes as well.

Tip Three - Use Antioxidants

Antioxidant skin care is a essential for any anti aging routine. As a matter of fact, UV radiation produces the formation of free radicals, which can only be counterbalanced with the aid of antioxidants. You can get antioxidants by eating certain foods or by applying antioxidant skin creams.

Some foods high in antioxidants include fruits, vegetables and grains. When picking which foods to eat, don't just stick your favorite produce, but try a wide variety of colors to make your diet more exciting.

Berries are the best kinds of fruits because they are high in antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and fiber.

In fact, the benefits obtained from this fruit are so amazing that they are a common ingredient in a number of skin care products. Sometimes they are accompanied by other amazing ingredients such as Vitamin E and Vitamin C and antioxidant serums.
