An effective anti aging skin care guide has to move beyond washing your face with mild soap only and eliminating harsh chemical based skincare products from your daily routine. It has to move on to the really important stuff, such as what you should in fact be putting on your face.

For this anti aging skin care guide, we will focus on some of the extremely effective ingredients that are now being used by only a select few product lines. We are talking about anti aging skin care treatment options that really can deliver more youthful skin free of wrinkles, lines, and unsightly breakouts.

Water: always drink as much water as you can. Try to replace sodas and sugared juices with water. It will help to keep your skin smooth and hydrated. It will also flush away toxins from the skin and keeps your skin looking clear and fresh.

Facial steam - a facial steam releases stale oils from the pores and loosens debris sticking to the skin. Simply fill a small bowl with hot (not boiling) water. If you have any herbs or aromatherapy oils sprinkle in a few drops (for example, lavender and peppermint are stimulating, rosemary, eucalyptus and rose are cleansing, and chamomile is soothing). If you don't have any, that's ok. Place a towel over your head and sit quietly with your head about 20 inches from the water, with the towel covering the bowl. Breathe deeply for about 5 minutes as you allow the steam to gently ease away cares and stress from your skin.

Use an antioxidant cream. You are bombarded every day with environmental toxins that attack the surface of your skin. In fact most damage to the skin can be attributed to free radicals. When you expose yourself to toxins like air pollution free radical production increases. Apply an antioxidant cream to your skin before applying your sun screen.

Avoid using creams that contain an SPF factor. Most of the skin care tips you have heard all your life surely preach the importance of SPF factors in skin creams but the truth is that SPF factors can cause skin problems and have been linked to cancer. To avoid sun exposure, use a wide brim hat and sun umbrella instead.

If you want treatment therapies that go beyond what you can safely do at home, then seek professional help. There are procedures like microdermabrasion, chemical peels and laser treatments that you can consider. However, always get these things done by a certified doctor and don't leave anything to chance. If you are skeptical ask for references and talk to people who have already successfully undergone similar procedures conducted under the supervision of the same professional.
