Everyone wants to be that lucky woman that gets mistaken for her daughter’s sister and not her mother; truth is that doesn’t happen much. However, that can change, and with the discovery of anti-aging supplements and other anti-aging treatments our appearance is longer solely decided by our genetics. Genetics have always played a large role in whether or not you age gracefully, anti-aging treatments can’t change your genetics but it can help your body fight the aging process. More importantly systemic anti-aging treatments have proven effective at helping the body fight off those common midlife diseases.

So, what are these anti-aging treatments and how do they help me look and feel younger?

The goal is to fight aging at all levels possible, internally and externally. Many people make the mistake of only fighting it at the surface level, and while that is a great approach for the appearance of your skin, it is not getting the root cause. On the other hand taking an anti-aging supplement to help fight aging at an internal level, to prevent or postpone the process completely, works wonders for the body but does little for the skin. Fact is the body needs help at both of these levels, and the treatments respond so much better when taken in conjunction with each other. Making sure to meticulously care for the skin has always, and will always, be a very important part of the anti-aging process. But, when you combine this meticulous care with a supplement that helps the body make these essential skin proteins (collagen and elastin), as well as promote internal harmony within your body, the results are simply outstanding.

There is a catch however. Taking an anti-aging supplement is a great way to prevent the time clock from ticking away, once the clock has spun through several neglected cycles an anti-aging supplement is not as effective. While many of these supplements claim to be able to turn back the clock, I highly doubt that they can turn it back very far. I am not saying they can’t reverse some of the signs of aging, but the only complete reversal is surgery. However, beginning an anti-aging supplement combined with a skin treatment regimen is a great way to prevent further damage, and possibly repair some of the damage that has already occurred. If you have a substantial amount of damage your best bet may be some cosmetic procedures, or some of the higher priced creams and filler products.

Right now believe it or not the number one anti-aging beauty secret taking the world by storm and selling like umbrellas on a rainy day is… a stretch mark cream! Yes, I said a stretch mark cream. The ingredients in an effective stretch mark cream make it a great anti-aging/age reversal product. Stretch marks are deep v shaped trenches in the dermal layer of tissue; in order to reduce the appearance of these stretch marks the product must be able to fill these “trenches” with collagen. Wrinkles are child’s play in comparison to stretch marks so this cream, Srtivectin SD, easily fills the lines and wrinkles with collagen just as it would the deep stretch marks. This cream has actually been coined “topical botox” because of its effectiveness. However, be prepared to pay for this miracle in a tube; Strivectin SD typically runs $135.00 for a 6oz tube, but you know what they say you get what you pay for!
