If it were as simple to go out and buy a book or magic potion to achieve a permanent youthful look, the beauty industry would literally not exist. I want you to stop for one minute and think. I mean really think.

Do you know anyone that does not wish they looked younger? If you said yes, you are in a tiny majority and this article won't help you.

It is estimated that 99.926 % of this worlds population over the age of 30 wishes at some point that they look younger.

Is it possible to achieve a younger, happier, healthier looking skin? We are going to take a look at 10 distinctive steps you can take to achieve and keep just that.

o Drink plenty of water
o Protect your skin and body from free radicals
o Keep your skin moisturized
o Eat a well balanced diet
o Get enough sleep
o Exfoliate daily
o Avoid stress where ever possible
o Increase high protein foods
o Decrease greasy foods
o Drink and eat plenty of foods with anti-oxidants in them

These ten simple tasks can help you achieve the ultimate goal ideally.

It is well documented that the above ten items are recommended to people that want to achieve or maintain younger looking skin. These are natural options, and there are also other not so natural, but very good methods that I will touch on later. But for now let us take a look at what each of these things entail.

Drink plenty of water- It is advised that you consume at a minimum of at least 8 glasses of water a day. This helps to achieve healthy and younger looking skin by flushing your system.

Protect your skin and body from free radicals- Before we touch on how that is done; let us see what that means. A free radical is a molecule that attacks other cells in your body. It attacks healthy cells. How can you protect yourself from free radicals if they are inside your body? That is a very good question. Anti-oxidants attack and rid the body of these damaging free radicals.

Use a moisturizer daily- Moisturizing your skin can help strengthen it. Especially if you use a moisturizer that has an anti-oxidants in it. Moisturizing skin will prohibit the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Our Hempz lotion is our favorite. It smells great, doesn't feel oily, and it last a long time.

Eat a well balanced diet- Eating a well balanced diet that contains at least 8 servings of fruits and vegetables that contain anti-oxidants will go a long way to promote healthy skin and body.

Get enough sleep-It is no secret that the national sleep organization recommends 6-8 hours of sleep a night but lets be realistic, in this day of face paced jobs and faster paced families that is not always possible. When you find that you can not get a full 6-8 hours of sleep a night, try to rearrange your schedule. Your body needs sleep to replenish from the long hard day you just had.

Exfoliate daily- A daily beauty regime that contains exfoliation will rid your skin of dead and dying skin making room for new vibrant skin.

Avoid stress in your life where ever possible- If you are like me and a lot of other people that statement probably made you chuckle a bit. If avoiding stress were easy then there would be a lot less problems in this world. Try to minimize your stress. If you are in an extremely stressful situation, share your feelings. If you keep them bottled up inside they can make you sick and can get your skin to react poorly.

Increase high protein foods- Eating foods high in protein give your skin the energy it needs to rejuvenate. It also helps keep heart problems to a minimal. Heart problems are known to cause added problems with your skin.

Decrease greasy foods- This is because greasy foods add build up to your skin cells. It actually can clog your pores creating blemishes and making skin appear worn or tired.

Drink and eat plenty of foods and drinks that contain anti-oxidants- The Japanese who have the longest life span of any other group in the world, drink 8-12 cups of green tea per day. They also have remarkably young healthy looking skin for the most part.

The ancient Orientals believed in using natural herbs and plants to achieve age defying skin. They used the Polynesian seed oils like coconut oil and a wide variety of natural oils and flowers to achieve younger softer looking and feeling skin.

Another tip that present day oriental people do to keep younger looking skin is to blend coconut oil into skin lotions to achieve the softest skin possible. For centuries the use of coconut has kept their skin baby smooth and clear.

Finally, your body stores toxins from years of exposure to chemicals, poor quality foods (fast food, treated food etc.), and other things you experience in your life. These toxins need to get out. If you keep all this bad stuff in, your body suffers. Try a detoxifying body wrap to get the toxins out on a regular basis. You'll be surprised at how good you'll feel.
