Finding Your Way Around The Arena of Anti Aging Skin Care Products
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, they say. There are anti aging skin care products for people in their 20s or 30s that may stave off unsightly lines and wrinkles from developing, while encouraging the body to continue its natural skin rejuvenation regiment. First of all, there is no substitute for sunblock or steering clear of the sun between noon and 3pm. An SPF of 45 blocks out harmful UV rays by 99%, according to Cornell University. Secondly, using a daily moisturizer rehydrates and heals damaged skin. Antioxidants are crucial in combating environmental stress factors (cigarette smoke, pollution, exposure to chemicals.) Antioxidants can include amino-peptides, green tea extract, coenzyme Q10, vitamin C and vitamin E.
As we age, not only are we exposed to more cumulative sunlight, which is responsible for 90% of all skin changes, but there is a breakdown of DNA, collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and other supporting molecules in the dermis. Into our fifties, oil glands will secrete less frequently, and we’ll experience uncomfortable skin tightening, in addition to noticing lines and wrinkles. When shopping for anti aging skin products, don’t overlook the importance of a daily moisturizer. In fact, moisturizers can help restore the skin’s elasticity, easing wrinkles and creating softer, smoother skin. Ingredients like petrolatum, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and cyclomethicone encourage your skin’s water retention. Many dermatologists also recommend Vaseline Petroleum Jelly Cream, avoiding hot or frequent showers and substituting bar soap with a moisturizing body wash.
You may have also noticed a wrinkle reducer cream among the skin care products. These are generally comprised of cell damage reversing antioxidants like vitamin A (retinoids), B, C or E that are intended to neutralize free radicals and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. As you know, collagen injections are a popular and relatively inexpensive way of bolstering your skin’s rejuvenation process. You can try Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Anti Wrinkle Cream, Retinol or L’Oreal’s Line Eraser. Alpha Hydroxy Acids are a less potent first line defense against skin aging and Peptide products like StriVectin, Olay’s Regenerist Serum or Estée Lauder’s Perfectionist are cosmeceuticals that also stimulate natural collagen production.
Many people don’t think of diet when they’re browsing anti aging skin care products, but doctors suggest that the best way to stay young is to exercise and eat well. Drinking lots of water helps remove free radicals from the body and keeps rejuvenation processes regulated. As we age our blood sugar levels will fluctuate, causing mood swings and skin aging, but a low carb diet can help stabilize the system. Try substituting white bread, refined foods, cereals, sugar, white rice and potatoes with fruit, beans, vegetables, sourdough, multigrain bread, Japanese short grain rice, honey and sweet potatoes. New research suggests that fish seed and flax seed oil rid the body of free radicals in amazing ways. Also, doctors recommend that your diet contains no more than 10% saturated fat to ensure younger looking skin.
What does the future hold? Skin experts at Voss Laboratories claim that “stem cells” are the future of anti aging skin care products because they naturally awaken your body’s undifferentiated stem cells in a revolutionary way. “Cosmetic chemists around the globe are burning the midnight oil for one simple reason,” explains researcher Richard Wells, Ph.D. “As we age, stem-cell utilization for skin repair is less efficient. However, the potential that nature has given us to access these endogenous stem-cell reservoirs for skin rejuvenation is quite remarkable. That’s why science is seeking to activate the potential of our inherent adult stem-cell reservoirs. In so doing, the practical use of stem-cell technology can provide the consumer with a topical, anti-aging cosmetic formula that simply makes everyone look years younger.” You can purchase a one month supply of Amatokin Emulsion For The Face at $190 for 30 ml, from Bloomingdale’s, Sephora, Nordstrom, Macy’s Lord and Taylor or Saks 5th Avenue. Other stem cell products in their skin solutions line include Amatokin Eye wrinkle Cream and Intensive Skin Rejuvenating Serum.
The human body ages and begins to show signs of this aging process as environmental factors contribute to wrinkles and sagging skin. Some people elect to go under the knife of a cosmetic surgeon but you do not have to be one of these people. Before you start thinking about cosmetic surgery you should consider some alternative methods for getting rid of those pesky wrinkles around your eyes and mouth. Creams and lotions can help stop the process and there are exercises you can do to tone up the face. Find out more by clicking here for more information:
