A personal program for the best anti aging skin care begins with simple lifestyle choices. The aging of skin is a natural process but it can be accelerated by habits that add abuse to the effects of time. In order to support your skin, you'll need to take your environment into account, and you'll also need to think about diet and activity level. If you're really serious, you'll tackle bad habits like alcohol abuse and tobacco smoking.

It is almost sadly place such value and in and deny these well-deserved and hard fought battle scars that we have accumulated through life. In another respect, it is fair to acknowledge that, as my septuagenarian friend says, as we age we *fall apart*. Our eyes need constant updating, our hips and other joints need replacing, our organs weaken and wear. We break down, pure and simple. Even and especially, the largest and most visible of all the human organs, the skin, turns on us, hardens, wrinkles and cracks exposing to others that which we have lived for decades.

Now science and economics takes over and sets the stage for Botox, elastin enhancers, and scores of shelves of anti aging treatments that might appear to be the panacea. Plump those lips, raise that brow, flatten that paunch. But despite all our anti-aging treatment and fixation (not because of it), we continue to age*but more slowly! Yes, longevity statistics show that people as a whole are living years longer. Again, this is not necessarily due to minor or occasional anti-aging treatments, but more likely to evolution, preservatives, and poisons, as well as healthier living that includes eating well, exercising often, and resting enough.

So regardless of, in spite of, or maybe with the help of SOME anti aging treatments, attempts, and so-called cures, those of us eligible for anti-aging treatment are in our mid- to later years*when we do care about staying alive and living a quality life but we care less about what others have to say about how we should live our lives and how we should be. Spirituality and new age attitudes are becoming more prevalent. We care less about material gain or other external, superficial forms of nurturing and are just beginning to invest in our holistic health. We are coming into understanding peace, prayer, serenity, solitude. And I guess all and all it's not a bad thing to feel a little bit better about ourselves.
