As you age, you notice first the fine lines. Next, the wrinkles begin to show as the lines go deeper and deeper. You skin becomes stretched out and too big for you body and the firmness and elasticity is gone. If you use facial moisturizers or facial cream, you notice a difference in you skin for a few minutes but the effect is fleeting. It happens because of the type of moisturizer that you use. The facial cream simply coats your skin to keep moisture in a little longer but it has no lasting effect.
If you read the labels on many creams, you notice they contain a variety of ingredients. Mineral oil and other petroleum type of products coat your skin and keep it from breathing. Fragrance, often one of the reasons that you purchase, causes the skin to dry. If you consider that fragrance is nothing more than perfume, imagine wiping cologne or perfume all over your face. Alcohol, another favorite additive, also dries the skin.
Your facial cream may contain collagen, that’s what keeps the skin firm. Collagen is extremely important however; the skin doesn’t absorb it because the molecules are too big. It’s like rubbing your head with a furry cat and expecting to grow hair. You need to get a product that encourages your own body to increase the manufacturing of collagen.
You need to look for skin creams that don’t attempt to mask the skin but encourage it to rejuvenate. Skin creams that come from years of science and investigation that work, from companies that spend more of their money on research and development, not marketing.
There are specific ingredients to look that should be in you facial cream so that it really helps your skin, not just mask the years for moments. CoQ10, Phytessence Wakame and Cynergy TK are ingredients that you seek. These are ingredients that make the body work to improve its covering.
CoQ10 made the news when they found it beneficial to aid coronary patients to repair heart tissue after a heart attack. Normally made by the body the production of collagen slows and finally ceases as age increases. CoQ10 not only builds tissue around the heart it builds other tissue also. It encourages the growth of collagen and elastin. CoQ10 fights the free radicals that reek havoc on the skin.
Phytessence Wakame, a natural ingredient found in the Japanese Sea, blocks the enzymes created in your own body that causes the skin’s hyaluronic acid to break down. You need this to prevent the break down of elastin and collagen fibers. Remember, when the collagen and elastin breaks down, your skin becomes wrinkled and saggy.
The most dramatic ingredient is Cynergy TK. Cynergy TK actually stimulates the regrowth of both collagen and elastin. Recent studies showed that there was a 42 per cent improvement in the skin’s elasticity in just 18 days. That’s like taking years off your complexion in less than three weeks.
Find a company with products that contain all three ingredients. You need a company works to create the best product and continue to develop more products. One that knows that their facial cream is good and that once you try it, you’ll keep coming back. One that doesn’t do a lot of advertising, because they don’t need to do it.
