The latest research shows that around seventy-five percent of skin aging is caused by an over exposure to the sun. This is a huge figure and one that has to be taken seriously for anyone who is looking at ways in delaying the aging process.

A strong sun tan lotion would be strongly advisable to those people who insist on sunbathing for long periods of time. The sun lotion should be applied at regular times throughout the day as per the guidelines on the bottle – and a little bit of shade from time to time would also be advisable.

It is also important to ensure we get enough sleep. Research suggests that people who only average around six hours sleep per night will age in looks far quicker than people who average eight hours. When I was younger I had a stutter, this caused me many a sleepless night. I was eager to find out how to stop stuttering as I was desperate to achieve fluency. I attended various forms of stammering treatments and was eventually able to achieve fluency. I have no doubt gained a few years – in looks due to the stutter lol. I am now am able to speak free from stuttering so therefore I am a happy chap!

Again this is very logical as if you have a period of a couple of weeks when you do not get enough sleep, bags can appear under your eyes. If you have a really good nights sleep you tend to wake up not only feeling fresh and awake but also looking fresh and healthy. My advice here for people who have developed these bags under their eyes would be to use a good eye cream or to gently massage their eyes every day.

Getting a good nights sleep is not always easy; I know that. I used to worry a lot about work; I sold last minute holidays via a business cost cutting company and always felt under pressure to get more sales which often led to a sleepless night. I also had a part job time of which I needed plenty of energy for which was offering people advice about training for foster carers .

Smoking can certainly speed up the aging process. It is far from straight forward to stop smoking but for those people out there who are serious about staying younger for longer it really is essential. There are of course many other reasons to stop smoking, therefore be brave and look at ways to quit smoking today.
