Skin Rejuvenation and Anti AgingSkin rejuvenation and anti aging is an age old topic that has occupied the minds of men and women for thousands of years. In spiritual contexts it has been a goal in itself to prolong life and better health and maintain optimum functioning of the organs. Cultivation of long life and strong health has been considered a way of worship and of expressing thankfulness for the body and the possibility to live life on earth until ones life purpose has been attained. Today the spirituality has been deemphasized, and rejuvenation and anti aging has become something very different, namely the search for outer beauty and the enjoyment of wordly pleasures through a well functioning body. Whatever the motivation for the quest for rejuvenation and anti aging, life extention techniques do exist. The best techniques are to be found in Ayurveda and similar traditions. The path to skin rejuvenation and anti aging is also the path to perfect health in general. Why not then cultivate a strong body, and get a youthful apearance and skin as a biproduct? When the body is healthy, the skin flourishes and thrives. Naturally, anti aging will involve general health measures like diet, excercise, plenty of sleep and rest, sufficient fresh water, fresh air, sunshine, massage and other techniques, meditation and stress-reduction, and of course herbal supplements, soaks, packs, herbal steams etc etc. that are targeted directly on the skin. But the skin rejuvenates even without them when one adopts healthy life-routines and good health strategies. The diet must consist of raw, unprocessed fruits, vegetables, green leaves, nuts, seeds and roots. The best resource on diet is to be found here. it is the "Diet Liberation " written by David Cameron Gikandi. Sunshine and UV radiation is an important topic, because some is good and a lot is bad. The main sign of aging is formation of wrinkles, and an excess of UV radiation from the sun and tanning beds is known to cause premature aging of the skin by creating wrinkles and reduced elasticity of the skin. UV radiation from the sun is healthy for other reasons, and dosage of UV radiation is therefore of paramount importance. Sunbathing for more than 1 hour pr day will most likely cause premature aging or so called photoaging, while less than 1 hour is more likely to be rejuvenating. It is critical to avoid sunburn, as sunburn will increase chances for developing skin cancers and precancerous tumors of all sorts. For a complete guide on proper sun protection, UV radiation hazards and risk of skin cancer. Skin rejuvenation and anti aging strategies should therefore involve proper dosage of UV radiation and protective applications. Among herbs, Aloe Vera should be mentioned. The gel can be applied to the skin to promote rejuvenation. The best natural anti aging, anti wrinkle cream available, Rejuvion, has Aloe Vera as its base, and also contains L-carnosine and Tamanu oil and 27 other anti aging elements in a science based formula. On Tahiti people use Tamanu Oil both as prevention of and treatement for overdosage of UV rays and sunburn and other UV related skin damage. It is world known for its healing properties in this regard, and for its many other skin related virtues. It is also used as an anti-wrinkle skin care formula. L-Carnosine is one of the most effective rejuvenative substances known to man. It is endogenous to the body, meaning one is borne with high levels in the cells. Daily use is completely safe, and deeply rejuvenative. "Illness" is just another term for increased speed of aging. Healing of skin illnesses is therefore the first step towards skin rejuvenation and anti aging. Healing of all illnesses, whatever the location of the symptoms, should be prioritized.
