Antiaging skin care should be a part of every woman's beauty regimen as she reaches her mid-thirties. That's when we start to lose collagen and wrinkles start to appear.

Nobody wants their face to have wrinkles, discoloration, sagging or dryness. I always say that I don't mind getting old. I just don't want to look old.

To fight aging skin, it helps to know some causes.
- smoking cigarettes
- stress
- sun exposure
- drinking alcohol
- pollution
- cold weather
- lack of sleep
- repetitive facial expressions
- dehydration

Antiaging skin care treatment has really improved due to advances in science and medicine. We now have surgical treatments like face lifts, botox, chemical peels, collagen injections and dermabrasion. I'm not going to talk about these procedures.

Let's focus on what you should be doing at home: cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing.

A good moisturizer is the key for aging skin:

- choose one specially made for aging skin

- lifts the face giving a less saggy appearance

- softens the look of wrinkles

- day formulas should contain an SPF

Day formulas to try:


1. Aloette's Cellular Day Defense.

2. ANEW ULTIMATE Age Repair Day Cream by AVON







Nighttime formulas should have cell regeneration.

Brands to try:

1. Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Concentrate won Allure Magazine's Best Of Beauty anti-aging treatment.

2. Olay Definity Night Restorative Sleep Cream

An excellent treatment is Aloette's Ageless Science Anti-Aging System. It uses Japanese technology. You'll see instant results and long-term skin improvements.

Face lifts, botox and other cosmetic procedures may not be right for everyone. But as I always say, do what's right for you.

There's something very sexy about a mature woman. She's got confidence that comes from wisdom and a strength that comes from knowing who she is.

Don't throw in the towel and let your looks go. Aging gracefully just takes a little effort.
