Skin, Health & Beauty - Tips for Wellness & Anti-Aging
One thing we all have in common is we are all covered in one of our major organs - skin. Another thing everyone has in common is we are all getting older.
As we age, our skin changes. Collagen breaks down, exposure to the sun damages our skin and causes changes in pigmentation, and we begin to develop fine lines, crows feet, age spots, wrinkles and other signs of aging.
While no one can turn back the clock, the science behind beauty products has made many advances in skin care in recent years. Today with advanced skin care lines like Rodan Fields Dermatologists, it truly is possible to do more than just "reduce the appearance of fine lines."
This lens will look more closely at skin care, skin products, diet, exercise and other aspects of skin, health and beauty.

Which Skin Care & Beauty Products Should You Choose?
As can be seen from the products pictured above, there is a wide assortment of beauty and skin care product on the market. How can you possibly know which products to choose?
The best thing to do is know your own skin. Critique your skin--is it oily, dry or combination? Does it show signs of aging: crows feet, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots or other issues? Do you have sensitive skin, acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis or other skin conditions?
Different skin care products contain different ingredients, and some over-the-counter products contain mild medical ingredients. Some skin products are soluble in oil, which means they work their best on oily skin. Others contain active ingredients which are water soluble and don't do as much for oily skin. It is important to choose the right ingredients for your skin type and for any skin conditions you might have.
The tips and articles on this page should help you pick the right skin care products. The first tip is to visit the Free Skin Care Analysis Lens.
