2 FEATURED ARTICLE Anti-Aging Skin-Care Myths Revealed Find out what really helps reduce the signs of aging and what doesn t. When it comes to aging skin, there s a lot of false information floating around out there. Your friend says that her daily green juice has restored radiance in her oncelackluster skin; your mother-in-law all but stopped smiling because she claims it gave her wrinkles. Face it: anti-aging advice can often be a game of rumor has it and separating fact from fiction can be tricky. So we consulted top anti-aging pros to find out what really works and what doesn t on fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, dark spots and more. Here are facts to set the record straight on some of the biggest skin-care misconceptions. Myth: Expensive treatments work better than cheaper versions. Fact: Often, drugstore products can be even more effective than pricey, department store treatments it may be packaging or added fragrance contributing to a product s cost, rather than the actual science. To be a smart shopper, pay attention to the claims. If they sound too good to be true, chances are they are. [ 2 ]

3 Myth: Your diet doesn t contribute to wrinkles. Fact: Having a sweet tooth can add to your skin s lines, dullness and sagging. Sugar and inflammatory foods (refined carbohydrates, alcohol and saturated fats) affect internal organs, which in turn affect the aging process. To slow down skin aging, try a diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as veggies, almonds, avocado and fish. Myth: You can skip sunscreen if you re in the shade, car, or office. Fact: UVB rays, responsible for sunburns, can reach skin indirectly, through reflection when you re under an umbrella or near a window. To play it safe, slather on a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every single day. Myth: Your genes will determine how you ll age. Fact: Genetics do play a role, but they aren t everything. Free radicals are believed by most medical researchers to be the bottom line of disease and aging, contributing not only to wrinkles, but also to acne, sensitivity, age spots, dryness, loss of skin elasticity and skin cancer. By reducing the amount of free radicals that your body creates (avoiding sun exposure and stress, and getting more rest), and incorporating the daily use of sunscreen, topical antioxidants and a high-antioxidant diet, you can control how fast your skin ages to a greater degree. Myth: Wrinkles are formed by smiles and frowns. Fact: It s not entirely false. Wrinkles can occur from facial expressions since muscles are being used but the loss of volume in the face has a greater effect. That volume loss occurs due to a natural breakdown of collagen and fat. To counteract it, apply topical treatments that contain peptides, which promote the skin s own production of collagen.

4 FEATURED ACTIVITY Drink Green Tea: Log 12 Times this Month. Research indicates the polyphenols in green tea may have health benefits, such as increased mental alertness, better immunity from diseases, and improved blood pressure. Green tea has been valued for medicinal purposes in China for thousands of years, and current research indicates that this ancient compound can have a positive impact on health. The caffeine in tea can improve mental alertness and one of the components, EGCG, has been studied for the potential to protect against heart disease and cancer. Unsweetened green tea has no calories and can be a healthy alternative to soda or coffee. To complete this challenge, log 12 times you had green tea this month. [ 4 ]
