Best Organic Skincare Products
In Ancient Rome, urine was used as a facial mask because it was rumored to help improve skin. This practice began in Indian culture at least five centuries ago and made its way through the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, the Middle Ages, and even found its way into the baths of 18th century French women. Thankfully, we have come a long way from using pee as an organic skincare product. The products we use today are aimed at reducing wrinkles, as well as softening, moisturizing, and brightening skin, but the best products to use for any type of skin are organic.

Best Skincare Products for Aging Skin
If you have ever noticed a droopy laugh line or some sagging skin under your chin when you look in the mirror, there is one thing of which you can be certain—it’s not going to get any better unless you do something about it! Unfortunately, the older you become, the more elasticity you lose in your skin. The youthful contour of the face is primarily determined by the condition of the muscles beneath the skin. Unless all of the muscles are kept toned, they lose their elasticity. It is elasticity which helps muscles resist the downward pull of gravity on the face. Because skin also has this elastic quality, it is the condition of the underlying muscles that helps to form the shape of the skin. The only way to preserve the smooth contours of your face is by exercising those muscles.

Understanding the Aging Brain
My grandfather, who lived to be ninety-four, always insisted that the secret of a long and lucid life was to keep active, interested, and busy. When he was about 40, he wrote a letter to his local newspaper expressing some trenchant opinions about the current state of the economy. Fifty-four years later, just before he died, he was still sharing his opinion through social media outlets like Facebook about dogs, Notre Dame football, millennials, and all the myriad other subjects that caught his far-ranging attention. He may have been ninety-four, but his mind had remained supple and young.
