Anti Ageing Skin Care
What Really Works
The beauty market is awash with skin care products and anti wrinkle creams, all promising to erase unwanted age from your face! With so many products, each with a list of ingredients we have never heard of and using scientific jargon that we don’t understand, it can be daunting trying to work out which ones really work.
While many anti wrinkle creams claim to work miracles, unfortunately not all are likely to deliver quite what they promise. However there have been some significant developments in skin care research and there are some new anti wrinkle creams that can make a significant difference to your skin.
Before you buy a wrinkle cream it is useful to be aware of the ingredients that are considered to be the most effective in a wrinkle cream. According to the most recent research and wrinkle cream reviews, you should be looking out for the following active ingredients.
RETINOL
This is a vitamin A compound and antioxidant. Antioxidants themselves are a really important element in anti ageing as they neutralise the free radicals that are in our every day environments and contribute to wrinkles.
HYDROXY ACIDS
These acids actually exfoliate the skin and gently remove the top layer , which stimulates the growth of smooth new skin, keeping your skin fresh and youthful.
CO ENZYME Q10
Co enzymes reduce fine lines and wrinkles by regulating your skins new cell production, basically making sure that new cells are created. This ingredient also helps to protect against sun damage, which we all know can have dramatic effects on the speed at which our skin ages.
PEPETIDES
These have caused quite a buzz in the beauty industry because they stimulate skins production of collagen. Collagen has a great impact on your skin as it keeps the skin elastic, plump and youthful looking.
KINETIN
This is a very powerful antioxidant and has a similar effect to collagen, it helps the skin to retain moisture which keeps it plumped up.
TEA EXTRACTS
Green tea extracts are most commonly used for its great natural antioxidant properties.
Among the many new products being manufactured, a couple are worth mentioning one being Reversatox which has the active ingredient Argireline which is a peptide derived from natural proteins which relax facial muscles. Because of this , the cream helps to stop wrinkles forming because your muscles are unable to move in the way that encourages them. It also hydrates the skin and reduces dark shadows on the face as it changes the way the light reflects from the skin. Clinical tests on this product have shown that it can smooth away wrinkles in 30 days.
The second notable deep wrinkle cream is Juvenex. Again it has an active ingredient from the peptide family and has been proven to show a reduction of as much as 27% on fine lines in 30 days.
When using any anti ageing skin care product it is important to remember that manufacturers do stress the importance of continuing to use the product to see the full effects and to keep on seeing them. It can be easy to become impatient and stop using a cream before we have gone even halfway down the tub! The real benefits of these creams can only be seen with regular use. The face is exposed to toxins and free radicals on a daily basis not to mention gravity and time! And so it makes sense to take your anti ageing skin care routine seriously.
There are other things that are vital to remember in your daily routine in order to keep skin appearing youthful. Moisturise religiously and always use a product that contains an SPF. The damage done to skin through exposure to the sun is one of the major contributors to premature ageing. Even on an overcast day the suns damaging rays can take their toll on your skin. So before you invest in a new wrinkle cream to add to your skin care regime, check out the packaging for the ingredients that count, if one or more of those that we have listed are there, then you should get the desired results!
