Past the age of 30 we all start looking for younger looking skin in the mirror.
And you know there are gazillions of creams and lotions on the market promising a younger looking face.
But do they work? I embarked on an investigation exploring skincare products to learn which were excellent, which were mediocre and which ones could be down right harmful.
Along the way, I uncovered a lot of dirty secrets the skin care industry would like to keep hidden.
I'll share some of them with you in this article.
One of the things I learned in my exploration is that a lot of the products that are promoted to make you look younger don't work.
That's right, those creams with alpha hydroxy lotions and collagen don't do you any good in your quest for firm and taut skin.
Why not? The alpha hydroxy lotions don't contain enough of this acid to work.
You have to have the treatment done professionally to get the benefits of the skin peel.
Then the collagen creams, well, those don't work because the particles that make up collagen are too large to penetrate your skin.
Numerous studies have shown this.
But you're right in thinking its collagen and its partner elastin that will keep your skin looking young and firm.
These important proteins give your skin shape and provide the elasticity and suppleness of young skin.
But your body stops making as much of them as you get older.
Luckily, there are ingredients that can increase the amount of collagen and elastin that your body is producing.
Ingredients like the cutting edge Cynergy TK can boost your bodies' collagen production and nourish your skin by helping it retain moisture.
Studies show a 14% boost in moisture and 42% improvement in skin elasticity after just 18 days of use! Another ingredient I use daily is Phytessence wakame.
This Japanese sea kelp slows down the breakdown of your hyaluronic acid which acts as a type of "glue" for your collagen and elastin fibers.
It's also a powerful antioxidant.
Antioxidants will help you have younger looking skin.
Eating a diet rich in fruits and leafy greens and using skincare loaded with antioxidants will protect you against premature aging and cancers.
There are many antioxidants to look for in skincare in addition to the powerful phytessence wakame.
Ingredients like natural vitamain E and Active Manuka Honey will aid in your fight against aging as well as your health.
