i used to weigh about 103 lbs and now i weigh 96 and I’m 14 years of age and i didn’t change anything of my diet. my bones ache, and I’m sad and mopey alot of time and everyone but my mom and dad notice my aunts,uncles,cousins,teachers, and friends realized I’m not as hyper and perky. my best friend thinks i need anti-depressant and i don’t want to be a freak needing meds. and i don’t know what i would or how i would tell my mom because she doesn’t listen to me and i do not want anyone to tell her for me.

I have eczema on my eyelids, and it is actually a type of eczema called atropis dermatitis. I am 14 years old, and I have had it for so many years. I tried Elidel, anti-aging creams, and right now I am using TriCeram. But I have used it for a week, and what happened was, there was no more infected cuts or holes, but the itching became persistent and the redness spread. What can I use?
sorry i meant atopic dermatitis.

I am in Hagerstown. My BF is taking care of his elderly disabled mom. She is in a wheelchair. I tried to call the Dept of Aging (just got a recording) and the MIHI group (no one answered). I am looking for programs they can turn to for help. She has no insurance, and they cannot afford assisted living or a nursing home.

Hello,
I was wondering how micro tears in the skin from facial scrubs cause premature aging?

Thanks in advance

I need anti aging tips. Wrinkles are beginning to show on my face and I was wondering if there are any anti aging tips I can follow to control the wrinkles on my face before they get out of hand. Any anti aging tips will be very helpful. Does anyone know of any?

My skin is annoying me like crazy! They look old and ugly, so I definitely need some anti aging skin products! Does anyone know any good anti aging skin products that I can use! Please help! I really want to have beautiful skin again.

I’m a major "beautyholic", and I’d like to know what your Top 5 favorite skincare products are. Face wash, moisturizer, anti-ageing treatments, eye creams, masks, toners – whatever you use to take care of the skin on your face on a regular basis. Please list exact product names and the companie(s) that make it please.

I would like to know what someone (*late in age) would would advise someone young like me. I’ve always been so intrigued with the wisdom of the elderly and plan to visit elderly homes…I just think they would have such insight. Maybe something they wish they would’ve done?

If you look at the life you’ve lived and seen that you’ve failed to follow through with some of your plans, you need to stop the pity party. There isn’t anything worth regretting. As you get older, life may slow down. Nonetheless, you shouldn’t limit yourself with the activities you can do. You need to realize that despite old age, you can live the life of a youth. To get you fired up, you need to change your outlook. Be fearless. Whatever your fears are, you’ll never get to live a great life if you let them hold you back. How do you get over such fears? Start by making a list of the things that scare you. Write them down as they come to mind, but don’t spend a lot of time analyzing them. Now, take your list and start at the very top. For each fear, ask yourself what really bothers you. Next, demystify what you’re afraid of. Gaining more experience and a better understanding of what you fear can help you manage it so it does not impinge in your life. As your knowledge and self-confidence increases, odds are your fears and concerns decrease as well.

To live the life of the youth, you need to be satisfied with what you have. Constantly seeking perfection won’t give you inner peace. Whenever you’re attached to having something in a certain way, better than it already is, you are engaged in a losing battle. When you are zeroed in on what’s wrong, you become dissatisfied and discontent. That’s not to say you shouldn’t give your life your best shot. However, you also have to realize that while there will always be a better way to do something, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy and appreciate the way things already are. Catch yourself when you fall into this horrible habit of insisting that things shouldn’t be other than they are. Gently remind yourself that life is okay as it is right now. As you begin to stamp out your need for constant perfection in all areas of life, you’ll begin to discover the greatness of those little things.

And always remember to look your best. If there’s one thing you should do for your skin, hydrate it with water. People tend to underestimate the importance of drinking enough water. Problems such as aging can be taken care of with water. Don’t just wait to down the liquid when you’re feeling thirsty. Your thirst instinct only kicks in when you’re really dehydrated. You need to replenish yourself way before that even happens. Not only will you start to feel much fitter (because water dissolves all the toxins that are in your body) and looking slimmer (when you’re dehydrated, your metabolism is one of the body functions to shut down), you will soon notice that your skin has a wonderful glow that beats anything any product could ever give you. A change in your outlook and lifestyle will help you live your life to its fullest.

I have dime size bumps on both sides of my cheeks just below my eyes…they are like little puffy mounds and seem worse when tired or after cying…they are not in the eye socket area and stick out somewhat in my cheek bone, i have tryed cold tea bags and cucumber..and some anti-puff anti circle creams…but no luck…what are they and should i get them sucked or cut out? are they a gland or just a result of aging..im late 20’s with a good diet (organic) and excerise (pilates)

If you were to die in old age that mean your death is not because of illness, correct? So what is the “main reason” that kills you? What kind of organ failure? For example, heart or lung failure? Or shortness of breath?

One of the simplest ways to ooze that look of youth and sexiness, make sure you are confident with the way you talk and with the way you carry yourself. Anyone can change the way they act into a powerful sexy tool that can attract the person they meet. Breathe from your stomach and speak with poise. With practice, these will eventually become second nature to you and you’ll notice that people respond much better with whatever it is you have to say.

Be super productive as well. Contrary to what you might think, delivering more isn’t exclusive to the younger generation. Plan your life well and make sure you lead a lifestyle that can support the activities you get into. An hour spent on planning is worth more of actually doing. To effectively use a journal, you have to do more than just write down appointments and deadlines. Most people stop when they’ve written things down, but this is where they could actually begin the planning stage. Think about what you’ll have to do to make something happen and when you’ll need to do it. Then, follow through all of your plans. Try not to stay away often and give yourself a deadline. You’ll live a fuller life if you know that you’ve also done your part to try and achieve all of them.

Be smart with the way you spend as well. Remember, some of you may have gone past your retirement age, and that means you no longer have the monthly income that you once enjoyed. Sure you have your retirement money stashed somewhere, but that doesn’t mean you can just spend on anything you want. While regularly saving and investing are smart moves, if you really want your cash to grow, you should seek the advice of an expert. These financial advisers can really help you achieve peak financial performance. In the end, you really do get to do more if you plan out your spending habits. You can even seek the help of friends and family. Whatever it is you choose to do, you should avoid the inclination to turn it all over and wash your hands of responsibility. Do as much research as well because you can’t expect someone else to pay close attention to your money as you would yourself.

As you get older, you should never forget your social life. It’s what you do with your time that helps you stay young and positive. Extend your social circle and learn new things from new people. The reason that you may not make too many new friends is because you are too self-conscious. Strike up conversations and ooze some confidence. People will respect you more if you are open to meeting new people and creating new bonds of friendship.

Confidence also comes when you lead a healthy life. Fight the temptation to give in to every craving. Be aware of what you eat at all times. Fruits and vegetables fill you up without a lot of unhealthy calories. When these constitute the bulk of your plate, you will naturally become more active. You’ll look good and have the energy to do the things you enjoy most.

i don’t have any signs of aging yet but i want to start using something before i get any signs and my skin is really sensitive and i get pimple really bad even though i use an acne treatment cleanser

My son is only 3 but lately I have noticed that when the elderly stop and fuss over him or say hi, he ignores them. He doesn’t do this to any other age group. I don’t have any family, so maybe he is just not used to them? Advice?

Currently, I am 18 and I am trying to figure out how I should help the elderly.

I know someone who is down the street of age 36 who often has trouble carrying her bags. I am trying to figure out what to do about the old fart?

Any tips?

So I’m in my early 20’s, all i have done since i was 10 is wash my face in the morning and at night with clean and clear foaming facial cleanse. Now that I’m older my mother us trying very hard to get me to use more products and to start using anti aging cream. I am not sure if i want to start using such products but i do know i should start taking better care of my skin i do have sun damage makeup i rarely use foundation only blush and mascara so i guess that hurts my skin i would appreciate tips and recommendations, and which brands are the best, thanks.

I’m in my early twenties, and this may seem like a rather vain question, but what anti-aging skin products should I be looking for?
From my understanding, it’s best to start treating your skin as early as possible (and I care very much about my skin). A lot of products are used to reverse wrinkles and such, but I’m looking for the cream/moisturizer that would be most fitting for my age, seeing as how I haven’t developed much for wrinkles yet.

Now besides the obvious exercise, sunscreen and water, what’s the best product for preventing aging signs?

Skin care has come a long way from Cleopatra’s milk baths. Now, intensive research and modern day technology gives you more options for treatment, targeting specific problem areas and providing corresponding solutions. With the primary focus on anti-aging, experts explore the main benefits people seek to give your skin that rejuvenating boost for a younger and healthier appearance without having to go under the knife.

Various facials promote anti-aging benefits that firm and tighten the skin, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Non-invasive and painless laser treatments can also be used to increase the skin’s collagen and elastin production for a complexion that is younger looking. Facials are good for restoring and balancing the skin’s moisture. Natural ingredients such as honey, almond, and seaweed cleanse and repair damaged cells and work well with dehydrated and sensitive skin. Moreover, there are skin clinics that offer extensive treatments that target dark spots to give your skin a more even tone. Peels can also be used to exfoliate the skin to help lighten discolorations caused by acne scars and age spots. Enhancing the tone gives the skin a youthful and healthy radiance.

There are also natural collagen treatments you can look into. These may be combined with ginseng to help slow down the skin’s aging process and strengthen its immune system in order to restore damaged cells and protect them from harmful free radicals found in the air. The chemical peels, in particular, work well to tighten and tone the skin, improving its texture and giving it a natural lift for a more youthful appearance. Facial muscle toning treatments also firm up the skin, easily removing the acquired years off.

For those who are worried about their pores, there are treatments that work to refine them. Seaweed masks and other topical treatments made only by natural ingredients help clear the pores to make them appear smaller. Mild formulations of retinoic or glycolic acid can also be applied regularly to help unclog the pores of oil and dead skin cells. Just like your home, your skin also needs to go through the process of general cleaning every so often. Just remember to do at once or twice a week only because you can’t completely strip your skin off its natural oils. Exfoliating scrubs and peels strip the skin of dull, dead cells for a healthier and smoother complexion. Many of the brands sold in the market are made of oats, vitamins, and other natural ingredients that target dark spots and other blemishes to reveal a flawless glow.

You can fully enjoy the benefits of these anti-aging treatments by being vigilant about putting on a cream daily. Look for one with active ingredients such as niacinamide and powerful antioxidants such as Vitamins C and E to minimize lines, enhance skin tone, refine pores, moisturize and nourish skin, lifts skin subtly, exfoliates gently, and basically just take care of your skin. With regular use of a good product, your skin will become amazingly beautiful and younger looking.

Anti aging herbs are those herbs which are used to slow down the aging process. Aging skin is known as the degenerative natural process which our skin undergoes as our age advances. Anti aging herbs help in stimulating blood circulation and in enhancing the ability of the body to remove wastes and absorb nutrients.

Herbs are natural and harmless in nature. Herbal treatments are usually in demand as they have lower side effects and are less expensive. Herbs which possess the property of anti aging are used in varying forms like medicine, oil, soap bars, ointments, cream and gel. There are many cosmetic companies, health spas and beauty therapist which use herbs as an active anti aging component in their product. Youthful vigor can be maintained through anti aging herbs.

Anti aging herbs are considered by many to be better and safer, as compared to surgery, Botox injections or any other cosmetic procedures. In addition there are several natural herbs which have the quality of lifting spirits and mind strengthening. They help in preventing stress on the body and mind.

Anti aging herbs further have a deep impact over the skin. Some of the commonly used anti aging herbs are:

* Lycium fruit
* Rhodiola Rosea
* Schizandra fruit
* Reishi mushroom
* Gynostemma pentaphyllum
* Polygonum root
* Cordyceps mushroom
* Wild American ginseng
* Ashwagandha
* Wild asparagus root
* Grape seed extract
* Siberian ginseng
* Nopal cactus
* Jujube Fruit
* Konjac mannan
* Wild Chinese ginseng
* gymnema sylvestre 

The action of these anti aging herbs is to slow down the aging process, arrest the wrinkling of the skin, remove toxins from the liver, accelerate the production of superoxide dismutase, stimulate the immune system, etc. Superoxide dismutase is the most vital natural antioxidant of the body which considerably slows down aging.

Some of these anti aging herbs can prove to be harmful, depending on the dose taken and the health of an individual. Overdosing can lead to serious or negative side effects. Just a few of the common side effects, produced by erbal treatments, may be headaches, nervousness, agitation, lack of sleep, diarrhea, irregular heartbeat, skin rash, or unusual vaginal bleeding in women. Most of the herbs should be avoided by women when pregnant and during breast feeding.

Some food substances or other herbal medicines can interact with the action of these anti aging herbs. At times, when anti aging herbs are combined with other herbs they can lead to allergies and reactions. Occasionally, alcohol when mixed with herbs may lead to allergy, irritation or discomfort. 

The anti aging herbs should be gradually introduced in to your routine. Initially, one herb, in small quantity should be introduced at a time. Adequate time should be given to the herb to work before deciding to increase the quantity that you are using. Anti aging herbs can help reduce the speed of the aging process in human bodies. Turn to anti aging herbs to remain youthful.

Anti aging herbs can offer numerous benefits to the health as the age advances, provided they are used with care and caution.

I used to use Benzamycin for mild acne, but I stopped because it was making my skin really dry. I’m almost 25, and have been using some anti-aging night creams to help prevent wrinkles and keep my skin healthy. The ones I’ve used contain retinol or salicylic & glycolic acid, vitamins, etc. and helped clear my skin. However, lately I have been breaking out and am thinking of going back to the Benzamycin. I only used the Benzamycin at night, and I’m wondering if I could use some sort of anti-aging cream on top of it at night. Has anyone done that? Has anyone used it as a spot-treatment instead of all over the face?

Face wrinkles are delicate creases which are particularly visible on the face, neck and hands. They are caused by thin, sagging skin. When the collagen and elastin present in the connective tissue of the skin weakens or decreases in number, there is an appearance of wrinkles.

The skin where there is an appearance of wrinkles appears thinner, loses fat content, elasticity and smoothness. A face wrinkle commonly appears during the aging process but premature appearance of face wrinkle is a matter of concern. There are several common causes of wrinkles. Some of them are overexposure to sun, pollution, smoking, drug use, weight loss, stress, loss of vitamin E and other factors.

Lessening of face wrinkles can be done by lifting of the skin. There are several anti-aging creams, topical medicines, cosmetic procedures and surgical procedures which can be used to reduce the appearance of skin lines or even eliminate them. There are many wrinkle reducing agents and procedures which give positive effects.

 Hey! lets face it. One of the biggest things that will keep your face wrinkle free is good common sense. Simply following the suggestions above will help in your anti face wrinkle campaign.

Yeah it may seem gross, but I feel that I don’t get enough showers. I have a less-than-preferred living arrangement and the place I’m staying doesn’t have a great shower or restroom area in general.

I worry about wrinkles and aging all of the time. I heard somewhere that if you don’t shower enough or your face doesn’t remain clean enough it can accelerate the aging process and lead to more noticeable wrinkles? I guess that’s why homeless people are so aged lol. Thanks for reading.

One of the most heart rendering things that can happen to you and I is when we see our first eye wrinkles. Our first thought is my gosh I’m getting old. Or, Oh no! I look like my Mother. The commencement of these eye wrinkles, can lead to physical and mental stress. Nowadays, it is a common sight to see that more than a few of us suffer from dark circles, puffiness around the eyes, crow’s feet and bags; especially as we get older.

 People resort to several procedures in the quest of searching for methods to decrease and eradicate these eye wrinkle related complaints. One of the best and fastest ways to prevent or relieve eye lines is to use a good quality eye wrinkle cream or an anti wrinkle solution. An eye wrinkle cream is chiefly a cream which firms the skin, and contains concentrated quantities of hyaluronics and herbal extracts. The best eye wrinkle cream if it suits your skin type, can work miracles for the eye wrinkles and also further hydrate the skin and smooth fine lines.

With the increasing demand of eye wrinkle cream, there are several new, effective and affordable eye wrinkle creams coming up daily in the market.  But then it becomes quite confusing to find out which is the best eye wrinkle cream. One is not really sure which eye wrinkle cream actually works. Most of the wrinkle eye cream fails to work as they are not strong enough to act on the sensitive area around the eyes. They may work for wrinkles on the face but not on the eyes. Some of the eye wrinkle cream available in the market are – Dermavexin, Prevera, Prototype #37-C, Freeze 24 7 Anti-Wrinkle Cream, Elemis Pro-Collagen Wrinkle Smooth and quite a few others.

However, there are certain eye wrinkle creams which are made up of non-organic compounds and animal matter. Some of them are tested on animals and it is claimed by some of the manufacturers to be safe an work on human skin as well. But, the skin structure of animals is different from the skin structure of humans. Therefore it behooves you to perform your own due diligence prior to using these creams on your own body. And with the availability of the internet, you’re just a few mouse clicks away, from gaining the necessary information; you need to make an informed decision. 

To judge the uniqueness and beneficial effects of the best eye wrinkle cream, seek out consumer reviews on how effective the cream is,quality of ingredients, long term benefits and possible side effects. Based on these grounds you can judge which are the best eye wrinkle cream. The best eye wrinkle creams should include such ingrediates as palmitoyl ogliopeptide and palmitoyl tetrapeptide. Protein peptides help in the promotion of renewed connective tissue growth. Sodium hyaluronate also helps these peptides carry out their work effectively.

The best eye wrinkle cream should contain safe ingredients which fail to damage the sensitive skin around the eyes; provide lasting results; should be clinically proved; helps hide fine lines and reduce wrinkles. Hence, next time when you are searching for a eye wrinkle cream keep the above mentioned points in your mind and select the best eye wrinkle cream for your own skin.

Yes, this is awfully disturbing.

Some people die at a young age without warning despite they’re healthy. And other people can be frequent smokers and still live to be quite old. How could this be?

For example, some person who is a smoker can be alive at age of 90. However, other people who are healthy and don’t smoke can die at a young age perhaps 35 due to some cancerous tumor.
