Anti Aging: What to Look for in Anti Aging Skin Care
Katie Recknagel has written Anti Aging: What to Look for in Anti Aging Skin Care and writes "When it comes to protecting our skin from the visible effects of aging, many of us are in the dark. Aging is a huge part of your life and it is happening to your body and skin every second of every day. As you grow older, your skin begins to thin, lose moisture and ultimately appear wrinkled and sagging.
What can you do to prevent this from happening? Or, better yet, how can you reverse the damage that has already been done? You want to find a skin care regimen that combines botanically based products and cutting edge technology to achieve the appearance of younger, firmer and more supple skin.
Let me just tell you that this is possible. You can look and feel younger, regardless of how damaged your skin is. But you must be educated on what to look for before deciding on what anti aging regimen to use..
Following are the key anti aging elements you want to look for when choosing skin care products:
1) Bio Hydria Complex®. These ingredients reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by moisturizing, soothing and conditioning the skin. This element consists of seven botanicals, which each play an important role and together form an extremely powerful combination of ingredients. The seven botanicals are Comfrey, Cucumber, Birch Leaf, Watercress, Clover, Ginseng, and St. John’s wort.
2) Nanoshpere Technology. This is a targeted delivery system that allows key, anti-aging ingredients to penetrate the skin layers to the deepest levels, so that the formulas are the most effective. Nanoshperes are so minuscule, that they go where no man (or molecule) has gone before.
3) Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate. More simply put, this is a stable form of Vitamin C. This anti-aging element can prevent wrinkle formation, and stimulate collagen and elastin. It also protects against sun damage and makes sunscreen more effective by reducing the amount of photodamage to the skin cells that are compromised by UVA and UVB rays.
4) Elhibin® and Stimu-Tex®. These are both key ingredients in the fight against aging. Elhibin® keeps skin smooth and soft by promoting the retention of moisture and contributing to skins elasticity. Stimu-Tex® is a moisturizer that prevents transdermal water loss. It is plant derived and also helps with skin redness.
5) Alpha Lipoic Acid. This is a universal antioxidant which help fight against free radical damage. Free radicals are well known for their part in speeding up the aging process. This element is key in preventing and even reversing the aging process.
6) Kojic Acid. This is a plant derived skin lightener. It is an extremely mild and gentle ingredient, used to decrease the appearance of age spots and hyperpigmentation (brown spotting). Because it is very mild, it can be used on very sensitive skin.
7) Copper. This element is key in reducing sagging and fine lines, and in firming the skin. It also helps to thicken the dermis, in order to offset the thinning that happens with aging. Because copper cannot penetrate the skin on its own, it should be introduced with Nanoshpere Technology to achieve targeted delivery. Copper is also a well-known antioxidant and protects against free radical damage.
8) AHA’s and BHA’s. These elements improve the appearance of skin and increase cell proliferation. AHA’s are simply fruit acids that exfoliate the skin in a gentle and natural way. BHA is salicylic acid, which helps with the treatment of acne.
9) Penta Peptides. These are anti aging elements that help build collagen. They also produce smoother, younger looking skin by tightening the matrix of aging skin. They do a great job of keeping the skin looking plump and supple.
When you use an anti aging regimen that contains these nine key elements, you are well on your way to not only preventing the visible signs of aging, but reversing them. Once the above nine elements are combined with other pure, safe and beneficial ingredients, you truly have a remarkable anti aging skin care regimen that will make you look and feel years younger.
