About Me
Dementia and Your Loved One

I've been a caretaker of an elderly woman with dementia for over two years. I've seen the effects of this mental affliction, and how devastating it can be to loved ones. This is why I am a firm believer in seeking a professional diagnosis, so the patient may receive necessary care and treatment. Once diagnosed at the onset of symptoms, a plan can be devised. Through social interaction and daily care, my charge has achieved a higher quality of life. If your loved one has been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, you can make a difference. Love will find a way.

4 Tips For Reducing The Signs Of Aging

Vickie Armstrong

As you're getting older, you might have noticed that your looks are changing. For example, you might have noticed wrinkles and fine lines appearing. Luckily, you do have options for reducing the signs of aging. Give these tips a try, and you can feel better about the way that you look.

1. Drink More Water

If you aren't drinking your eight glasses of water a day, then your skin might not look its best. Drinking plenty of water will help you stay properly hydrated and will help your skin stay nice and elastic. Along with helping your skin look its best as you are aging, drinking more water can help with your overall health.

2. Get Plenty of Sleep 

If you do not get enough sleep every night, then you can expect your skin to show it. This is especially true as you get older. Focusing on getting plenty of rest is important to keep your skin looking its best and so that you can feel your best.

3. Try Hormone Therapy

Have you looked into anti aging hormone therapy? If not, it may be something that you will want to talk to a professional about. Choose a treatment option that is supervised by a trained medical professional for best results and to ensure that the hormones are used safely.

4. Try Anti Aging Skin Care Products 

There are a lot of skin care products on the market that are designed just for aging skin. Some are designed for dry skin, some are designed for oily skin and others are for normal skin. Getting used to following a good skin care routine with products that are designed for aging skin can help you combat the signs of aging and keep your skin looking great as you get older. Try a few different products until you find one that gives you the results that you want; many cosmetics stores and counters at department stores will allow you to try samples for free, and a pro who works there can give you tips about what will best work for your skin.

As you can see, there are a few different steps that you can take if you'd like to combat the signs of aging. It's not unusual for your skin to start showing more wrinkles and fine lines as you get older, but following these tips can help with this and can help you feel more confident about your appearance as you get older.
