What are the Secrets to Anti-Aging Products?

Millions of dollars have been spent on both developing and marketing anti-aging products. They contain those essential ingredients that are so good for the skin that they have a rejuvenating, renewing effect on it. This reduces wrinkles by restoring the elasticity and renewing collagen. And of course, when we do something good for ourselves, we feel better and so this makes us look better, too.

Anti-ageing products frequently contain such products as hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen. The last two occur naturally within the skin cells where they work to hydrate the skin and encourage the renewal of skin cells. While the molecules of these products in the anti-aging creams cannot penetrate the skin due to the larger size of their molecules, they certainly hydrate it so that the skin becomes beautifully smooth and soft.

Vitamins such as C, A and E will fight those free radicals that rage around our bodies and cause damage. They help to renew the skin and firm it. Co Enzyme Q10 is a powerful anti-oxidant that fights free radicals. Vitamin E acts as a moisturizer and mild sunscreen.

In many cases the ingredients found in anti-aging products are the very same things that are found in a healthy body. The thing is, many times our lifestyle damages or decreases these ingredients to a greater degree than normal, so that aging is accelerated. For instance, while fluorescent lighting is considered excellent for seeing with and beneficial for the planet, prolonged exposure to it actually decreases the amount of vitamin A in our bodies.

If a product contains yeast protein and rice and soy peptides, it will reduce puffiness and those dark circles around the eyes.

Tretinoin has been proven to reduce wrinkles and smooth the skin. It’s a vitamin A analog and must be used with a sunscreen. Prescription medications work more effectively than those bought over the counter. It also works to lessen skin discolorations and takes six to nine months to work.

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) help the dead skin cells to slough off. This causes a greater sensitivity to sunlight, so slather on that sunscreen. Before using it, consult a dermatologist and always adhere strictly to instructions. Hydroquinone is an agent that reduces pigmentation, bleaching out sunspots and liver spots. It should be used with a sunscreen too, as sunlight reverses the effect it has.

There are many anti-aging products on the market. Some seem to work and while others make us feel good, they don’t appear to do much for the wrinkles. It may depend on your skin type and just how may wrinkles you have.
