Causes of Aging Skin
If you’ve ever wondered why our skin ages, here’s the answer: the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. These are what are known as connective tissue and they are basically responsible for keeping your skin toned. When they start breaking down, however, you’ll end up with sagging, wrinkles, and dropping.

Preventing Age Spots
The good news for me is that I’m less likely to get age spots because I take preventative steps like using sunscreen when I’m in the sun. And I would never use tanning beds either. To me, they seem like some type of torture device and I’d prefer to get tan the old-fashioned way or not at all. So as long as I keep using my Murad Resurgence products to keep my skin young looking and can avoid those pesky age spots I’ll be happy.

What Causes Age Spots?
Age spots aren’t caused by aging; they are caused by UV rays from the sun and from tanning beds. The UV light makes the cells in your skin which produce melanin (the pigment that determines your skin color) more active. When this extra melanin gets bunched together in one place, you get age spots.

The Pool Solution
If you are worried about the effects of chlorine on your skin, you should always have a good product available to apply to your skin after you get out of the pool and go inside. I typically use Murad Resurgence Products to keep my skin from drying out. It works well and lets me enjoy the pool.

The Pool
Have you ever noticed that after you use the swimming pool your skin is always dry? Not as soon as you get out, obviously, but once you’ve let the sun dry off the pool water your skin will actually be drier. Because I love being in our pool every summer I decided to find out why this was the case.

Caring for Skin in Winter
Not only is a good skin cream your best friend during the winter but I would also invest in a humidifier for the home. You’ve got to keep moisture in the air if you don’t want your skin to be sucked dry of moisture. I’m serious! Plus, humidifiers supposedly can reduce the risks of colds but I’m not sure if that’s a science fact or an old wive’s tale.

The Dreaded Reunion Pt. 3
The day is fast approaching. I need to do everything possible to look as young as I can and, although tempting, I’m not going to resort to any of those cosmetic procedures that I’ve ranted about for so long. Instead, I’m going to rely on some of the Resurgence products I found and see if they can do the trick.

Risks are High
When people are trying to decide whether or not to choose cosmetic surgery, I don’t think they consider all of the risks. For example, if the site of the surgery becomes infected it can lead to necrosis which is the actual death of the skin on your face! That can’t be beautiful to see.

Picking Products
I’ve spent a lot of time talking badly about cosmetic procedures and I really do think most women don’t need them and should reconsider them. Just take a look at some of the damage they’ve done to celebrities. However, I also want to spend some time talking about how to choose skin care products.

Back to Cosmetic Procedures
So I’m getting happier with how my skin looks thank to this new product. But I’m still troubled by this increasing need of celebrities and other women to have their faces pumped full of chemicals and products intended to make them look younger. These procedures are becoming so popular that I’m going to start sharing some information about them with you.
