In the world of anti aging, we are learning about so many products and services but they are all costing a small fortune. In the current recession, who has the money to splurge on expensive moisturizers? Everybody is hunting for a bargain during these uncertain economic times. Still, you don’t want to stop caring for your skin as it ages. Heavens, no! You should still take care of yourself, even though money is tight.
I decided to write about a couple of cheap anti aging tips for you. There are also good products available on the market that won’t cost you a small fortune to stock your bathroom with beauty products.
Hair:
Decide on a classic hairstyle that suits you, find a photo of someone with the hairstyle you want and instead of having your hair cut in an expensive salon, seek out a place that offers low prices on hair cuts.
Color your own hair and cover your grays with Nice ‘n Easy Solutions. Developed to give natural coverage to your grays – even if you are 50% or more gray and you get salon color results on your hair. Find the color that works for you and stick with it each time you color your hair.
Make up Remover, Hair Treatment, bath oil:
I hate to share this trick because everyone will go out and buy some and the price might go up. First of all, finish up that expensive make up remover, but save the bottle. Now, I have two cheap anti aging tips for you. If you want to go natural, use extra virgin olive oil to remove your make up. Not only is olive oil a necessary component in your diet to prevent the diseases of aging, it is a fabulous moisturizer, hair treatment and makeup remover. Fill up that left over make up remover bottle with olive oil and start using it in the bathroom.
Another cheap anti-aging tip – do what stunner Sophia Loren does – and she is a beauty still 74 years old. Not only does she eat the Mediterranean diet, but she occasionally uses olive oil as a bath oil. It is a great tool to keep your skin smooth and soft. This is one of the best natural anti aging skin care tips I know of.
If you don’t need to use a natural product, another cheap anti-aging tip is to use baby oil as a makeup remover. It does the trick and you can also use it in the bath as a bath oil and for shaving your legs. Super moisturizing.
Anti aging lip care:
Keep your skin soft by using Vaseline ointment on your lips. This is one of the cheapest best anti aging tips I can give you for your lips. A jar cost so little and lasts you forever.
Teeth Whitening
I used Crest Whitestrips Renewal Age-Defying Strips on my teeth. First I went to the dentist and had my teeth totally cleaned. Then I used the product for the 10 days. Yes, it whitened my teeth and cost so much less than if I had the service done at the dentist. It left my teeth whiter than they had been in 20 years.
Anti aging Hair Care Tips:
For anti aging hair care tips, I find the Pantene line of products a great deal for the price. For thickening up thinning hair, Use the Pantene Pro-V Full & Thick collection. It’s full of vitamins and helps promote the look of fuller, thicker hair.
Body Wash:
Use Olay Age Defying Body Wash for your skin. It’s also a bargain price and gently cleans and nourishes the skin. It contains Vita Niacin which penetrates the surface of the skin and fights the dryness you experience as your skin ages. They promise younger looking skin in only seven days.
Anti aging Skin Care Tips:
For taking care of your skin, here is a product which is cheap and softens and moisturizes your skin. Olay Body Age Transforms Body Crème Serum, when used daily can fight the five signs of aging in the skin. Skin ages by becoming dry, dull, loses elasticity and the color becomes uneven. This great anti aging moisturizer leaves your skin soft and completely moisturized.
Anti aging tips for the face:
Olay makes some great products at bargain prices. Another great one to use for anti-aging is the Olay Definity Deep Penetrating Foaming Moisturizer. This product fights discoloration in the skin and dullness and will give results in just eight weeks.
Anti aging tips for Makeup:
Stop spending a fortune on makeup. Cheap makeup is the same as expensive makeup except for the packaging. You will get the same results. However, for foundation and pressed powder, Cover Girl has some cheap anti aging makeup products I highly recommend. Their Advanced Radiance Age-Defying liquid makeup which contains Olay skin care ingredients helps minimize wrinkles, imperfections and discoloration. Their pressed powder contains skin conditioning and brightening ingredients which helps combat dullness as we age.
In conclusion, you don’t have to spend a fortune to be beautiful and to fight the hands of time. There are lots of cheap anti aging products for you to use. Follow these anti aging tips, don’t smoke (that costs a fortune), drink red wine occasionally, exercise and eat right and you will be saving money on anti aging beauty products and fighting the aging process.

Anti Aging Tips
Anyone who is looking to stay young for a long time needs to remember that there is no magic pill to help them. The key for keeping those youthful looks for a long time lies in maintaining good overall health over a long period of years. Much how you age will depend on how much you love and respect your body. If you are someone who wants to reverse the signs of aging, then there are a few anti aging tips which can help you do so.
One of the best anti aging tips that anyone can give you is to give up smoking. Smoking and good health definitely don’t go hand in hand. If you are one, you need to quit and watch how fast you can actually reverse some of the signs of aging by doing so. There is plenty of help available in the form of support groups and smoking cessation products to help you with the quitting process.
Scientific research clearly proves that the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun are the major cause of the skin damage. You should therefore make it a point to wear a good quality sun block every day. This will help in preserving your youthful looks for a long period of time. Apart from protecting your skin with a sun block, you should also make sure that you protect your eyes against the harmful rays of the sun with a pair of sunglasses that block ultraviolet rays. Choose from models that come with a slight wrapped edge because they will also protect the skin around your eyes and prevent the formation of wrinkles.
You should always try and use warm water along with a soap that contains moisturizer for washing your face. Make it a point to wash your face only twice a day. Remember frequent washing tends to strip away the moisture and important oils from the skin.
Perhaps the easiest ones to follow among all anti-aging tips is the one of getting enough sleep every night. Most of the body’s rejuvenation occurs when you are asleep. A good eight hours of sleep each night can do wonders to your overall health.
Another one among the easy to follow anti aging tips is to eat a balanced diet. Cranberries, red kidney beans and blueberries have been found to be the best food to beat the aging process. These are foods high in anti-oxidants. Ideally your diet should contain good proportions of dark green leafy vegetables, fruits and whole grains. You should also try and avoid processed food containing saturated and trans fats.
Keeping yourself physically fit is half the battle won against aging. Contrary to popular perception you need not slog for hours in the gym in order to keep looking young. Even a 20 minute brisk walk five days a week is enough to give your body sufficient exercise. The best way to go about the whole process would be to talk to your doctor first and decide on the exercise regimen best suited for you.
Diligently following these anti aging tips can help you keep, as well as feel younger for a long time to come.

How to Boost the Production of Collagen
As you age, collagen and elastin production levels in the skin decline. For our next natural anti aging tips, I am going to tell you how to boost collagen levels in the skin naturally. There are several steps you can take to overcome the decline of collagen production as you age. If you are interested in doing everything you can to help boost the production of collagen in your skin read further..
Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids and is the chief component in the connective tissues in the ligaments,skin, and bones. As we grow older, what leads to wrinkles is that the ability of our skin to replace damaged collagen decreases and this over the years leads to wrinkles in the skin. You need a a multifaceted approach to replenish the declining levels of collagen in your skin.
There are a few easy things you should be doing to avoid destroying your skin.

Hormone imbalance can occur as early as your mid-thirties and getting a hormone panel done by your doctor can identify this problem. I am talking about natural bioidentical hormones here because I am all for natural solutions to fight the process of aging. Supplementing diminishing hormones helps keep your skin young. In addition, drink six to eight glasses of clean water and eating a healthy diet daily will help your skin in looking maintain a youthful texture. To assist in Keeping your skin soft and moisturized, use a daily moisturizer and a night cream every day..
You can also take natural food supplements that you can find at your local health store which you can take that will assist in the production of collagen. Vitamin C and Hyaluronc Acid supplements – are both sold at your local health food store are the two basic supplements you should take to help with the amount of collagen production levels in your skin.

It is located in the extra cellular matrix of the skin and in the synovial fluid which moisturizes the joints and cartilage . It gives skin its volume and fullness . As we age, we the amount of hyaluronic acid declines in the body.
Vitamin C is very important for the synthesis of collagen. If you are over 45, we recommend taking 1000 milligram of Vitamin C a day which is also valuable for fighting off the effects of stress and illness. A friend of mine, who is 10 years older, told me she is now taking 1400 milligrams daily. Vitamin C is needed in larger amounts when you body is under stress or fighting off sickness. What you don’t need, meaning any excess amounts of Vitamin C are eliminated. Your best options about Vitamin C intake is to talk to your compounding pharmacist, naturopath or doctor about the exact amount you should be taking.
Another health supplement I find useful after the age of 50 is called “Genacol”, a supplement containing a concentration of enhancing collagen amino/peptides which improves the production of different types of collagen in the body. Genacol is also an excellent supplement for dealing with arthritis problems. You can buy Genacol again, at your local health store.
Another best natural antiagin tip is something we should all be doing regularly to fight off the hands of time. Exercise which includes building up decreasing muscle mass can help the skin in look less saggy and firmer. The antiaging benefits of exercise are wonderful including the physical benefits of firmer, harder muscles, heart health, lowered cholesterol and an increased sense of wellbeing from the resulting production of the “feel good” hormones - oxytocin and endorphins.
You could also look into having collagen injections which plumb up wrinkles and give volume to the face. These are cosmetic procedures which use subtances like Botox and Artecoll which actually increase collagen production in the area of your face that is injected with the substance..
So look into these natural anti aging tips for increasing the collagen production in your skin. Consult with your naturopath and anti aging doctors for their recommendations. This is what is available to you to keep your skin looking great as you age.
