What Young Women Need to Know About Aging

When you reach puberty, your body begins to develop rapidly over the next few years.  You'll be storing more fat in the hips and chest, and your body is preparing itself for its childbearing years.  This takes up alot of nutritional resources, and your hormones will be triggering your body to make it more sexually attractive, from the shape of your face to the sweat under your arms.

Try washing your face only with tepid water and a washcloth.  Wipe the first layer of dirt off, and then rinse the cloth, and wipe again.  Afterwards, use a totally natural moisturizer, such as a drop or two of extra virgin olive oil.  The reason to start out clean and natural, is to prevent any self inflicted skin problems brought on more by paranoia than nature.  Many people made their own skin problems by using too much of an "unnatural" product to solve something that wasn't really a problem.  Some people's acne is actually allergic reactions.

If this works well for you, and you don't notice any unpleasant dryness or oiliness, this may be all you need as a daily regime.  Once a week however, wipe over your face with a mild toner or a home made mild toner made of a tablespoon of aloe vera juice and a cup of water, before moisturizing.

This is also a good time to build a good health foundation, that will prevent premature aging.  What goes on inside will show on the outside.  Avoid diets, but also avoid junk food.  Work with your body instead of against it.

Then if you notice that your skin has special problems, go to the dermatologist or an esthetician.
