They can also be taken orally through a Vitamin and supplement complex, or taken individually for certain reasons to achieve different health effects and results for different aliments.. Antioxidants are responsible for helping our bodies fight off the "Free Radical" damage caused to our bodies cells. The everyday use of antioxidant supplementation and following a healthy diet rich in antioxidant foods will drastically cut down on the breakdown of healthy cells that fall prey to free radicals. This may results in DNA damage to our skin caused by the everyday elements and more importantly, preventing cancer, heart disease and other debilitating diseases that are associated with the natural aging process such as Alzheimer's and Dementia

Secrets to Ant-aging:

Start Young, your mid 20's is a good time to pay attention to a proper diet and exercise, sun exposure and use of Serious skin care products Hydrate yourself. Your skin is your largest organ, it is like a sponge and is made up of millions of cells that absorb water. When they are properly hydrated they are full and plump giving a health dewy glow to you face and body. Proper hydration is also essential to organ function

Vitamin & Antioxidant supplements are very important to maintaining your immune system and keeping strong and healthy. It is nearly impossible to get all the nutrients from food. We are not always able to eat right and get the proper amount of vitamins and minerals your body needs, use these as your safety net

Keep your sun exposure to the bare minimum. Always apply proper sun protection daily. Do not spend long periods out in the hot mid-day sun. Hat and UVB sunglasses are a must. Remember that the cold and the winter sun can also play havoc with your complexion. Wind burn is just as damaging as a sun burn.

Sleep is essential to your ant-aging plan.. It is during the sleep hours that our body truly rest and repairs itself. When you are sleep deprived your complexion will suffer and your mental state will not be as sharp. Loss of sleep can also lead to weight gain.

Proper Diet, you are what you eat! Concentrate on eating a well rounded diet. Try to cut out white sugars and starches, all fatty and fried food as well as watching your alcohol consumption. Keep your calories according to your height, weight and activity level, we tend to gain weight easily as we age due to a slower metabolism.

Exercise should be included in your daily routine. Take the time to do some kind of aerobic activity for at least 30 minutes per day Walking, dancing, yoga, bicycle riding. Try to do some form of weight or resistance training at least 3 times per week for 20 minutes. All very good recommendations for staying young and fit through out our years. Regular exercise is great for good muscle tone and keeping flexible it's great for your blood pressure level and your heart health.

Stress is a silent killer and it will age you faster than all of the above mentioned. Stress must be managed and held to the bare minimum. This is easier than you think. Here is a very simple rule of thumb:

Change the things that you can and accept the things that you cannot.

Mental health & attitude. Next to Stress this is the second most important thing on the list. Your age is only a number that means nothing. Think young, read, engage your mind. Keep a positive outlook on everything that you do. Plan for the future no matter how old you are... and remember our dreams don't retire!

Would it be okay to put anti-aging creme on my tattoo?

My tattoo is fairly healed, I've had it for close to 3 weeks now.

Okay so I have this thing called AVEENO positively ageless.
The ingredients are:
Avobenzone, Homosalate, Octisalate, Octocrylene & Oxybenzone. Also says it contains mushroom extract.
^^ Anything up there I shouldn't be putting on my tattoo let me know.

I mean it sounds okay to me saying it will enhance youthful appearance of skin, but what do I know?

So if you think this is a good or bad idea, tell me. thanks guys (:

i would wait for it to be completely healed. Your skin is still open from the tattoo and you should only use unscented lotion and ointment on it until it is completely healed.
