Natural Anti Aging Cleansers Need To Be Gentle And Nourishing To Get The Results You Want
Anti aging cleansers are something you need to choose wisely to ensure you are not damaging your more sensitive, aging skin.
Stripping it of all it's natural oils, especially since oil production slows as we age, will only encourage more wrinkling and lines as your skin breaks down from the damage of over cleansing.
It is equally important to not under clean your skin as well. This is what leads to that tired, dull looking skin we are trying to avoid.
Dead skin cells need to be removed daily to allow your skin's natural oils to work their way to the surface of your skin and do the job they were intended to do.
Not cleaning your skin well enough can also lead to blemishes and other skin problems.
For maturing skin a nourishing cream or oil cleanser is recommended. This will ensure your skin will not become dry from daily cleansing. As you age you will begin to notice your skin always seems dryer than it used to be. As mentioned early, with age oil production slows, and if you strip your skin of all these natural oils it does takes a while for the oils to replenish themselves again. This leaves your skin wide open to even more damage so it's best just to avoid this scenario.
Natural ingredients containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids are ideal for aging skin. They do an excellent job at exfoliating dead skin cells and other impurities with out stripping your skin.
Your natural cleanser should only remove excess oil and that is what these ingredients do. Below are some common and very effective natural ingredients containing alpha hydroxy acid which is ideal for maturing skin.
Alpha Hydroxy Acid Sources
- Milk
- Lemon Juice
- Vinegar
- Oranges
- Tomatoes
- Apple Juice
- Grapes
Your cleanser should also include a soothing and hydrating natural oil so that it adds moisture and some nourishment to your skin instead of taking it away.
Keeping your skin as hydrated as possible will ensure plumped up skin which makes wrinkles far less noticeable and much smoother looking.
Just think of a raisin. It's all wrinkley because it lost all of its moisture. Soak it in water for a while and see what happens. It rehydrates and the wrinkles decrease! Same thing as your skin. Dry under nourished skin is going to make wrinkles look worse and it will also age quicker. Below are some common oils well suited for anti aging cleansers

- Rose Oil
- Chamomile Oil
- Geranium Oil
- Coconut Oil
- Almond Oil
- Calendula Oil

- Shea Butter(I know this is not an oil but shea butter is an excellent cleansing ingredient for mature skin.)
Using these natural ingredients in your recipes or using products that contain them will ensure you are taking the best care possible of your delicate skin. When skin is properly cleansed and nourished it's not only healthy but looks more radiant and youthful, and that's just what we want!
You can beat wrinkles and slow down the aging of your skin if you do it naturally
