The eternal theme: youthful skin
 Save your skin young, supple, smooth for many years (and would like to have and for all) - the dream of the vast majority of women. Moreover, not only a dream, but a goal towards which throw considerable resources, both financial and temporal, and psychological.

In our modern means of rejuvenation includes substances such as coenzyme Q10, collagen, including "sea", liposomes and nanoparticles, and even the mysterious "young genes".

Deceive the nature and stop the inexorable run arrows biological clock has not yet managed to anyone. Eternal youth can be found only in a mystical fiction novels but in commercials of a new "super-efficient" cosmetic cream or miracle hardware procedure.

  So, let's face it: completely stop aging, and even more so start the process in the opposite direction, at least in the foreseeable future is unlikely. But not all that bad!

Can not be stopped, but you can slow down and very much ... This is certainly not the "eternal youth", but, nevertheless, quite a long duration stage of life when age-related changes in the skin can be made so inconspicuous, particularly to the outside observer that it may indeed seem that time has stood still. Directions struggle for the youth of the skin are as old as the world, and have remained unchanged, probably since Cleopatra:

• nutrition inside and out, with an emphasis on products containing a maximum of substances needed skin
• Maintaining sufficient moist skin, because the moisture - that's life,
• skin protection against various adverse effects, such as ultraviolet light, cigarette smoke, and so on.
• And, of course, care - a systematic, conscious, with a thoughtful application of available tools and methods offered by cosmetic science at this level of its development.

Areas have remained the same, but the content of each item is changed, because the science is not in place. Everything is more closely matched to the scientists disclosure mechanism of aging in general and the skin in particular, put forward new hypotheses and thus offers new cosmetics, hardware methods, new recommendations, including the top ten foods needed to maintain youthful skin.
