Let’s face it, anti aging skin care becomes more and more of a concern as the years roll by. With age the perfect complexion that we took for granted in our twenties begins to fade and lines and wrinkles begin to appear. This is the time when we rely on an antiaging skin cream to restore our youthful appearance.
With so many skin care products on the market it’s difficult to know where to start. The shops are full of different brands some of which are advertised in magazines and on TV and others are own brand products. But how do you know which antiaging skin cream will work for you? Which brand will produce visible and lasting results?
A good place to start is the list of ingredients on the label attached to the tube or jar. When you know what to look for this will tell you how effective the product is likely to be. The main reason why our skin starts to sag and develop lines is that as we grow older the proteins collagen and elastin begin to break down. So ingredients that promote the growth of these two proteins are what you want to see when choosing an antiaging skin cream.
Three ingredients that you should look out for are Phytessence Wakame, Cynergy TK and Coenzyme Q10. Each of these in different ways stimulate the growth of collagen which improves the skin’s firmness and elasticity. But you should be aware that including collagen in the skin cream is ineffective since collagen cannot be absorbed by the skin.
This might seem incredible, but some skin care products contain ingredients that can actually cause harm to your skin with prolonged application. Mineral oil, also known as paraffin wax, a common ingredient of skin creams, clogs the pores and interferes with the skin’s natural ability to eliminate toxins. Dioxane, a synthetic derivative of coconut and a common skin cream ingredient is a known carcinogenic. The very fragrance that attracts you to a particular antiaging skin cream could be created from ingredients that are either toxic, or worse, carcinogenic. Parabens of various types are a
preservative used in anti aging skin care products to increase shelf life. Studies have shown that they can cause cancer and result in allergic reactions and skin rashes.
Not only is it essential to know the ingredients that go into an anti aging skin care product, but it is equally important to make sure that even the good, active ingredients are used in sufficient quantity. Because of the high cost of these substances some manufacturers will include a minute amount just so that it can be shown on the list of ingredients.
Hopefully this brief survey of anti aging skin care products will help you in making a more informed choice when shopping for antiaging skin cream.
