Many people do not realize that staying well hydrated enhances what is known medically as "turgor." Keeping your body properly hydrated allows the skin (and the underlying tissues) to be more smooth, lustrous, and healthy. Think of a time when you were ill and couldn't keep up with your fluid needs for a few days - remember how sallow your skin looked, and much more pronounced any lines or wrinkles appeared? In fact, good skin turgor is one of the major clues physicians look for in ascertaining a patient's overall health. Usually, no special fluids are required, just plenty of water!
Ingredients:
Ordinary water or mineral water in most cases, or drinks containing electrolytes and glucose if you've been ill.
How to prepare:
No special preparations are necessary.
How to use:
If you are drinking enough, you'll see the benefit - and (as long as your ikdneys are healthy and you don't have medically required fluid restrictions), you will simply urinate away any excess.
Results (observed by submitter):
When I treat patients by giving intravenous fluid replacement (usually a liter or two, sometimes more), I can often see their color return and and their natural contours and glow start to come back.
Costs involved:
None

Proper Application of Eye Cream

When applying eye cream, always use your ring finger. The ring finger is the weakest finger on the hand and therefore will not pull at the delicate tissue around the eye.
Pulling at the skin surrounding the eye will result in loose, wrinkled and aged looking eyes.
Simply pat the eye cream around the eye area and lightly smooth with one stroke. Always use a cream designed for the eye area as this tissue is thinner and more delicate and requires a specially formulated product specifically for the eye area.

I am 55 years of age and have been told I look a lot younger since I was at least 40. Since I have never followed a serious skin care regimen and did not inherit a beautiful complexion, I believe it is due to walking and lifting weights 3 times a week at the gym.
I have noticed, though, more wrinkles appearing since going through menopause, which I am seeking more vigorously to combat.
But one thing is for certain, and which you have probably noticed, fit and trim women look healthier, have a glow on their face, which to me seems to make them look younger.
All I know is that I get told I don't look my age and it is not because of some secret beauty technique I possess. I'm just chalking it up to exercise!
