Over the Counter Wrinkle Creams – How to Choose the Right One
Posted by Anti Aging Products in anti aging wrinkle cream on June 7, 2011
Over the counter wrinkle creams have been growing in popularity ever since they were first introduced. They can, after all, be found almost everywhere, from drugstores, to department stores, to the Internet (of course). From a general perspective, they are all the same, promising to erase (or at the very least, reduce) wrinkles that have been caused by aging or some sort of damage. However, are all of them really telling the truth? Do they work as well as the ads say they do? Knowing which ones are right will help in avoiding the fakes.
The main concern when dealing with over the counter wrinkle creams is the ingredients, and that is also where all the questions and subsequent answers lie. All brands insist that each ingredient can help the skin (sometimes even within minutes of applying the wrinkle cream), depending on how long the product is used. The best thing to when choosing the right over the counter wrinkle cream is to make sure it has a combination of all the most effective ingredients. Among the following are ingredients that are commonly found in wrinkle creams, and may or may not improve the skin.
Retinol is an antioxidant and a vitamin A compound that was used even in the very first wrinkle creams that did not require a prescription. A reason for this is that it is (as an antioxidant) able to eliminate certain radicals, including unbalanced oxygen molecules that are responsible for destroying skin cells and causing wrinkles. It is popular because it is a milder form of Tertinoin, which has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a fitting treatment for wrinkle, but can only found in wrinkle cream brands requiring a prescription.
Coenzyme Q10 is another popular ingredient, for it is a nutrient that maintains cell energy production. One of the advantages of having it as an ingredient is that it does not result in any possible side effects, and in fact has been proven to reduce fine wrinkles (especially around the eyes), and can even protect the skin from any form of sun damage.
Various hydroxy acids are also commonly found in over the counter wrinkle creams mainly because they can all act as exfoliants, and therefore will easily eliminate any old, dead skin, replacing it with firmer skin that is more evenly-colored and smooth. However, the disadvantage to having it as an ingredient is that it makes one more susceptible to sun damage. There are people who avoid this ingredient, while others simply put on sunscreen in addition to the wrinkle cream.
Lastly, copper peptides can help heal any wounds on the skin and stimulate the production of collagen, which keeps the skin smooth and younger-looking. They are often placed in wrinkle creams to help retinol by enhancing its effects.
There are other notable ingredients out there but the aforementioned are some of the most commonly used ones, which means that they are often found in popular over the counter wrinkle creams. By knowing which ingredients are right, you will now have an easier time choosing the brand you like most.

How not to Choose a Good Anti Aging Skin Care Product
Posted by Anti Aging Products in Anti Aging on May 30, 2011
The anti aging and skin care industries are huge. Millions or billions of dollars are spent by consumers on anti aging skin care treatments, and so there is big money to be made. And there are plenty of big companies in the anti aging and cosmetics industry that take advantage of this.
The result is that many mainstream anti aging skin care products just don’t work. The cosmetics and skin care industry is quite unregulated in the US, and so the big cosmetics and skin care companies can put any product on the market without first proving that it works, and even without showing that it is safe for the people who use it.
As a result there are many anti aging skin care treatments available that don’t work, and contain suspect, or known to be dangerous ingredients.
But they sell in spades to cater to the desire of so many consumers to look younger, or at least to believe that they will look younger. And so there are hundreds of well known brand name products that promise all sorts of anti aging benefits everywhere you look.
So, how do you navigate your way through all this to choose an anti aging skin care treatment that does work, and doesn’t contain ingredients that you should be scared of?
Here’s how not to choose a good anti aging product.
1. Don’t buy any skin care products that include fragrances in them. Now of course everyone likes to smell good, and the cosmetics companies pander to that, by adding fragrances to their products. Apply the cream and smell good and look young all at the same time.
There’s 2 problems. Firstly you won’t look younger because chances are the skin cream won’t make you look younger, though you may feel good about having used it.
Secondly, fragrances are not good chemicals to put on your skin. Because that’s what they are, chemicals that smell good, and many of them aren’t that good for you. It’s the same with perfumes, for example, but if you apply a perfume it’s only a small squirt on one spot, it’s not massaged all over your face where it disappears, into your blood. So just use a perfume instead.
2. Don’t buy skin care creams that have collagen in them. Now this at first glance appears counterintuitive doesn’t it? Everyone knows that collagen, or the breakdown of collagen in your skin, leads to sagging and wrinkling of the skin so putting more collagen on must be good.
Not necessarily. Yes it’s good to replenish the collagen, however collagen molecules are quite large and don’t really enter the skin. So rubbing it on might make you feel good, but doesn’t really add to the levels of collagen in your skin.
The best way to improve the collagen levels in your skin is to stimulate the body to produce more collagen itself.
However remember, the big cosmetics and anti aging companies are in the business of selling their products. If they put collagen on the label people buy it. And if they put it in a fancy bottle and get a good looking celebrity to say how much younger they look using it, then it will sell.
Even if it doesn’t do anything for you. Even if it’s got suspect ingredients. It will sell.
That’s marketing for you.
Problem is, all this marketing is expensive. The good looking celebrity has to be paid, usually lots, the fancy bottles need to be purchased, and the advertising costs a bomb.
So the anti aging skin care treatment that really doesn’t do much costs a bomb too. But that’s ok because people believe that if it’s expensive it must be good. So they pay anyway.
So there is 2 things to avoid when looking for a good anti aging skin care treatment. There’s more but this is getting long.
Does all this mean that you should give up on anti aging creams and products because they don’t work? Not at all. There are excellent anti aging products that work fine, produced from ingredients from plants that are safe to use.
But they are produced by small niche companies that you’ve probably never heard of, who quietly produce high quality products at reasonable prices because they don’t pay the good looking celebrities and spend up big on TV advertising. That’s why you’ve never heard of them. If they started doing that their products would cost a bomb too.
So don’t despair. I’ve given you some things to look for when buying an anti aging skin care product, and told you that there are excellent products available. Now it’s your turn to find them.

How To Choose the Best Anti Aging Skin Care Products
Posted by Anti Aging Products in skin care products on May 6, 2011
Every year people spend millions of dollars on anti aging skin care products that just do not work as advertised. The cosmetic industry is huge business and they spend millions on advertising as well. You have probably seen many advertisements featuring some popular celebrity; the chances are that she probably does not use that product.
People are always looking for ways to look younger and many marketers take advantage of this. In order to find anti aging skin care products that actually work, you need to have an understanding of what specific natural ingredients will work.
I will tell you right now that it will be very difficult to find a product from your local department that actually is effective at reducing the lines and wrinkles on your skin.
Many of these brand name products are made with inferior ingredients. In fact, some ingredients are actually harmful to your skin. Avoid any anti aging skin care products that contain mineral oil, fragrances and parabens. Parabens are preservatives that prolong the shelf life of the product.
Parabens simply allow the skin cream to sit on store shelves until it is purchased. In addition, they are potential cancer-causing agents that have been banned in parts of Europe.
Research that I have done has come up with an amazing natural substance that is virtually unknown in the Western world. It is called Cynergy TK. It is derived from the wool of sheep in New Zealand. It is rich in functional keratin, which is protein very similar to our own proteins. It helps to stimulate the re-growth of our vital skin proteins; collagen and elastin, which then helps to reduce the lines and wrinkles on our skin.
Collagen and elastin are skin proteins that give our skin it texture, elasticity and overall health. By applying anti aging skin care products that contain Cynergy TK, after a few weeks you will notice a reduction of the lines and wrinkles. It is truly an amazing substance.
If you would like more information on the natural ingredients used in the most effective anti aging skin care products then please take a minute and visit my website today.

Does An Anti Aging Skin Care Review Help To Choose An Anti Aging Skin Care System?
Posted by Anti Aging Products in Anti Aging on April 11, 2011
Do anti aging skin care reviews really help you when making an informed decision of which anti aging product you should buy?
There are hundreds of sites, 10,500 pages that cover this topic alone in a Google direct search.
Reviews do have their limitations as they can only reflect the experiences of the person who has tried the anti aging skin care system from a particular manufacturer and as there are so many different types of products available the chances are that only a few of the products will be mentioned.
Other reviews may also give you a completely different list of products so you can never get the full picture. However these sites do have the added bonus of introducing you to new products that you have never heard of before and that really appeal to you.
It is true that the anti aging skin care market is like a mine field to navigate through but what type of anti aging skin care treatment works? Do you need one bottle or multiple bottles to achieve your desired results?
There seems to be so many products available within this multi billion dollar industry, and that is not surprising when you look at the cost of some of the treatments on offer, anything from nearly $200 dollars to $5 a time.
But do these products work as well as they claim? And the other question we need to ask ourselves, that is of equal importance is, our these products safe to use?
Many products that are available in the anti aging skin care market are made of synthetic ingredients thought up in a laboratory. The reason for this is quite obvious the cost for the manufacturer is low and the financial return is high.
Following are just some of the claims made about anti aging products are that they contain ingredients such as collagen, which has been put in the cream to replace the collagen that you naturally lose as your skin ages. This claim is blatantly false as the molecules in collagen, which sources are from animals and birds, are too large to be able to penetrate through the epidermis. It physically cannot happen.
So why you are busy paying prices around $150, for what you think is a really good product that will increase the elasticity in your skin, to reduce your wrinkles you will end up somewhat disappointed as it will not happen quite that way. All it will do is sit on the top of your stratum corneum until you wash it off. These products are only going to encourage you to keep shelling out $150 a time for an impossible result.
Another claim often made by product manufacturers for marketing purposes is that their product contains ascorbic acid (Vit C, a well known anti oxidant). Ascorbic acid might be wonderful for raising your bread or eaten as an orange but it will not work in a topical application. Some researchers believe Vitamin C actually produces a dangerous free-radical, hydroxyl which when it comes in contact with the iron in your skin causes redness and irritation.
So the question has to be are there products that do not make outrageous claims but that work?
You will be pleased by the answer to this one. Yes there are some manufacturers who do provide really safe, extremely effective products that use natural ingredients that are able to penetrate through the skin with price tags ranging from $35 to around $200.
This places quality products that others recommend within the reach of most of us.
So an anti aging skin care review can be useful if it introduces you to new a anti aging skin care system that is just right for you.

How to Choose Men’s Wrinkle Cream That is Safe & Natural
Posted by Anti Aging Products in anti aging wrinkle cream on May 3, 2010
A good anti wrinkle cream for men should ideally contain active ingredient that focus on moisturizing and rejuvenating the skin. There should also be compounds to decrease the redness and inflammation that is often attributed to the harshness of daily shaving. Here are a few things to look for in men’s wrinkle cream, and what to avoid.
Questionable Ingredients
One of the most popular inclusions in anti wrinkle cream for men is questionable Botox alternatives. The active ingredients in these products are synthetic proteins which are design to penetrate the skin in order to absorb into the muscle and effect paralysis. These kinds of products may not be on the market for very long.
The FDA is currently investigating to decide whether or not these synthetic proteins should actually be classified as drugs. This re-classification would mean that, like Botox, these synthetics would be available strictly through clinical procedure, and would no longer be allowed in men’s wrinkle cream.
Ingredients to AVOID
This is a good thing, but until this ban actually comes to pass, you should be very conscious to avoid products which contain these ingredients. It is not yet known what the long term health effects of these paralyzing agents may be. These are not the only compounds to avoid having in your anti wrinkle cream for men.
Collagen: A Serious Allergen
You should also stay away from any men’s wrinkle cream which includes collagen as an active ingredient. Although FDA approved for use in clinical skin care, this element is not without risk. Collagen is a serious allergen, that when used on people with a high enough sensitivity level can produce serious results.
Those who enter the Doctor’s office seeking to be given Collagen injections are first put through a battery of allergy tests to discover their level of sensitivity to the protein. Only those who show little to no inclination to an allergic reaction are allowed to follow through with the procedure. Why would you want anything this potentially dangerous in your anti wrinkle cream for men ?
Paraben: Possibly Causes Cancer
Parabens are yet another ingredient found in men’s wrinkle cream that you want to safeguard against. These anti-fungal agents are commonly used as preservatives in skin care products, especially in moisturizers. Studies have shown that Parabens may cause cancer, as well as interfering with the body’s endocrine system.
Petrolatum: (Petroleum Jelly) Clogs Pores
Try to stay away from anti wrinkle cream for men that boasts petrolatum as a moisturizing agent. Dermatologists have long known that continued use of petrolatum based products will interfere with the skins natural rejuvenation process. It is also not readily absorbable by the skin and eventually clogs the pores.
Choose Real Natural Ingredients
A better bet when looking for a moisturizing men’s wrinkle cream is to focus on ingredients that come from the earth. Try to locate products containing olive or grape seed oil as the active moisturizer. Avocado oil and Jojoba wax are good choices too, but a combination of all of these natural ingredients would be best.
You don’t have to settle for dangerous chemical additives in your anti wrinkle cream for men. There are products available that will treat your skin both safely and naturally. This is because the manufacturers of these fine products cares about you skins health. My research revealed one such manufacturer.

How Useful Is An Anti Aging Skin Care Guide In Helping You Choose An Anti Aging Skin Care Treatment?
Posted by Anti Aging Products in skin care products on May 3, 2010
Are anti aging skin care guides really helpful in helping you make an informed decision on which anti aging product you should buy? Although they can be useful they can have their limitations as they cannot possibly cover all the products that are out there.
There are so many creams, serums and lotions that are available and that promise some amazing results that I am sure you are sometimes left wondering what type of anti aging skin care treatment would be best suited to your skin type.
Is it possible to buy just one cream or will a system that suggests using a couple of products be a better option?
Then of course comes the issue of cost as some of the products can cost from around $200 for just one small tube.
It would be prudent to ask yourself a couple of questions, before you decide which product will best suit you.
The first one is will you be able to afford the financial investment for the foreseeable future of the treatment you have chosen, because once you start using them you will need to use them for the rest of your life if you want to maintain a younger looking complexion.
And the second question you will need to be satisfied with the answer to is, is the product safe to use?
Many products that are available in the anti aging skin care market are made from many synthetic materials including waxes and oils. The reason for this manufacturing process is the low cost involved in manufacturing which in turn leads to huge financial profits. It is no wonder that this is a multi billion dollar industry.
Some manufacturers make amazing claims about anti aging skin care treatment products that relate to the properties of their ingredient list.
on some of the more expensive ranges, is the addition of collagen.
Collagen is naturally created in the skin this gives our skin its firmness.
A part of the aging process is the reduction in the amount of collagen that the skin cells create. This leads to older, wrinkly skin.
Collagen it is claimed, is added to create more collagen but this claim is blatantly false as the molecules in collagen are too large to be able to penetrate through the skin. It physically cannot happen.
Another claim often made by product manufacturers is the inclusion of ascorbic acid (Vit C,) as an efficient anti oxidant).
Ascorbic acid is a wonderful supplement to eat but not as an ingredient in a topical application.
There are some researchers who believe that the water soluble form of Vitamin C actually produces a dangerous free-radical, called hydroxyl which, when it comes in contact with the iron in the skin causes redness and irritation.
So are there products that do not make outrageous claims but that work?
Yes there are some manufacturers who do provide really safe, extremely effective products.
Some of these products in this category have prices ranging anywhere from $35 to $200 a tube.
Some of these products according to an anti aging skin care guide are based on new cell technology research that can be absorbed by the skin safely to nourish it and make it look younger.
If you want younger looking skin then an anti aging skin care treatment is out there for you to try and some are within the price range that most of us can afford.

How To Choose The Best Wrinkle Creams
Posted by Anti Aging Products in anti aging wrinkle cream on December 31, 2009
There are almost as many wrinkle creams on the market as there are women who have (or at least will ADMIT) to having wrinkles. Some boldly claim that they will get rid of wrinkles entirely; others are a little more subtle in their pronouncements.
Wrinkle creams work in one of several different ways. They either possess one or several ingredients that provide moisture to the skin, thereby making wrinkles less noticeable, or they contain products which will “plump” or expand surface skin, effectively smoothing out or filling in wrinkles. Other wrinkle creams work in the same ways, but take it one step further by adding small amounts of coverage or concealment product.
Wrinkle creams can be bought either over-the-counter or through personal suppliers, or ordered online. On-line ordering provides a woman with an extra measure of privacy that might otherwise be compromised by having to go into a “brick-and-stone” store or ordering from a person.
Women who decide to use wrinkle creams often have very personal, private reasons for doing so. Most often, it is a matter of boosting one’s self-esteem, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Women who have experienced severe emotional stress, such as that that comes after a period of physical illness often discover that their face does not reveal to its fullest just how good they actually feel now that they are well. Wrinkle creams can help these women regain the healthy glow and firmness that was there before. And, as everyone knows, when a woman looks her best, she is naturally going to feel her best.
Those who are really wondering which wrinkle creams are best might want to conduct their own research. This does not mean purchasing, whether in a store or online, every wrinkle cream that is available, but rather checking resources and comparing information.
Take one of the many wrinkle creams currently on the market–Athena 7 Minute Lift. According to the information given on this product, the effects can be felt instantaneously, and visible results are evident in as little as seven minutes. This in itself has a positive aspect, as every woman wants to see immediate improvement.
Athena 7 Minute Lift is effective, and can be used by practically every woman, regardless of her skin type. It does not rely on harsh or dangerous chemicals or other ingredients that cause the face muscles to relax, yet it still offers results comparable to those that would be achieved by receiving facial injections, but without the pain.
Anti Aging Skin Care Product – Top 3 Tips On How To Choose One
Posted by Anti Aging Products in skin care products on December 10, 2009
In this day and age, everybody agrees that choosing a suitable anti aging skin care product can become a very difficult task. There are hundreds of products available on the market, all claiming that they offer the perfect solution for all your skin care worries.
The skin care industry is quite a lucrative one. Literally hundreds of millions of dollars are spent every single year, just in United States alone. The problem with most of all these anti aging skin care products, however, is that, more often than not, they don’t live up to the expectations of the person who bought them.
Most of the time they prove to be worthless, or, even worse, they cause all different types of damage to the skin, ranging from minor to more severe. However, there is always the bright side: If you do your research and you exercise caution, then you can find a quality anti skin care product which is suitable for your skin type. Below, I will give you a few tips which will help you in your selection:
1. First of all, stay away from any products which contain any type of fragrance. You may be aware that fragrances contain toxins. When you apply the skin care cream or lotion on your skin, these toxins can potentially enter your bloodstream through your skin pores, causing you harm.
2. Second, and pay close attention to this, avoid any anti aging skin care products which list collagen as one of their ingredients.
Now, in order for you to understand what I am talking about, I need to give you a little background:
Most of you are probably aware that collagen is a protein which is underneath our skin and helps it to stay firm and youthful looking. As we age, collagen is gradually depleted and as a result, our skin begins to sag and form wrinkles. Because of all the hype surrounding collagen, people are often misled to believe that anti aging skin care products which list this protein as one of their ingredients, will do wonders for their skin.
Nothing could be further from the truth. What science tells is that molecules of collagen are so big, that they cannot penetrate the pores of your skin. Therefore, they stay on the surface, doing nothing! So, in essence, you are giving away your hard earned precious money to buy something that is totally useless!
3. This fact leads to my third and last tip. Instead of focusing your attention to find an anti aging skin care product containing collagen, try instead to look for products with ingredients which, when applied topically, have been scientifically proven to stimulate your body to generate more collagen itself.
Examples of these ingredients are Phytessence Wakame and Cynergy TK™. In short, the former is extracted from natural sea kelp, found in the waters near Japan, while the latter is a natural substance (this is a quite a new breakthrough discovery by the way), which is found in the wool of sheep in New Zealand.
As already said, it has been proven through scientific experimentation on human volunteers, that these substances, when penetrated into the human skin after topical application, actually stimulate the production of collagen, making your skin more supple and youthful looking.
To learn more about ingredients which should definitely be contained in an anti aging skin care product, visit my website.
