The anti aging skin care guide is becoming a staple on the internet and
in various magazines. The anti aging skin care treatment industry has
grown to proportions that few would probably have imagined. Everyone
who is anyone wants to chime in with their personal or professional
opinion on this product or that product. How do you know what to believe?
Almost any decent anti aging skin care guide will tell you that it
is wise to use sunscreen, as most of the damage that your skin will
incur over your lifetime will be from the sun. If you begin using
sunscreen today it will save your skin from years of further damage,
but what can you do about the damage thats already been done? That
information is a little harder to come by.
The cells of your body contain a natural vitamin like compound known
popularly as Coenzyme Q10. UV rays from the sun deplete the existing
levels of COQ10 in your skin. Without the protection of this powerful
antioxidant, free radicals begin to break down your skin cells. COQ10
supplementation via vitamin intake is the latest idea in anti aging
skin care treatment.
One company has even created a remarkable compound which is a "nano-
emulsion" of COQ10 and natural vitamin E in a topical cream that is the
first form of antioxidant absorbable through the pores. The ingredients
are formulated in such a way that they are able to penetrate through
all 7 layers of skin, destroying free radicals as they go. Strangely I
have yet to read about this breakthrough in any anti aging skin care
guide.
Another craze that has developed over the last few years is
micro-dermabrasion and exfoliation as an effective form of anti aging
skin care treatment. We don't think that these are wise practices at
all. These similar procedures are performed by removal of the top layer
of skin, which is done in order to expose the fresh healthy skin layer
underneath.
The main problem that we have with exfoliation is that the procedure
not only removes the dead skin cells from your face, but it removes
healthy living cells as well. There are much gentler ways of achieving
the same goal. A rich hydrating mask for example will remove the dead
skin cells while leaving the still health skin cells behind. We don't
believe that these procedures belong in any good anti aging skin care
guide.
A little warning about a fallacy made popular by many manufactures
of anti aging skin care treatment products. Everyone is using collagen
as the main productive ingredient in their creams and lotions, but
there is something about these collagen products that you won't find
mentioned in any anti aging skin care guide. Collagen cannot be
absorbed through the pores of your skin, making its inclusion totally
worthless.
There is a way to stimulate natural collagen and elastin growth, and
that is by the use of the compound keratin. It works well as a topical
cream, and is far safer in replenishing collagen stores than by
injections. This is a fact that I have rarely seen mentioned in any
anti aging skin care guide.
