Wrinkles Cream and the Best Anti Aging Ingredients
Monday, January 23rd, 2012Wrinkles are part of the natural aging process. As we age, our body produces less collagen and elastin. Due to this decrease, our skin begins to sag and becomes less elastic.
Although the formation of wrinkles has a genetic component, you may actually be accelerating the aging process with bad habits. This isn’t so bad, because it also means that if you can do things to accelerate the process, you can also do things to prevent face wrinkles and body wrinkles. Here’s a list of things you can do to help prevent premature aging.
Change a few Bad Habits
Excessive alcohol consumption, sunbathing, and smoking are known to accelerate the aging process. The idea is to reduce the risk of premature aging by moderating solar exposure and alcohol consumption. As for smoking, you should try and eliminate it all together.
Smoking causes the most damage to your skin. Not only does it lead to skin wrinkles (all over your body) it also accentuates eye wrinkles due to the toxins present in cigarette smoke. The facial expressions that smokers make also contribute to the formation of crow’s feet.
Sunbathing is another bad habit that is responsible for skin wrinkles as well as age spots and dry, leathery skin. When going outside make sure to use a sunscreen lotion in addition to protective clothing such as wide brimmed hats and long sleeved tops.
Alcohol should be avoided because it causes severe dehydration and may lead to aged skin. Your skin would benefit greatly if you moderate your intake of alcohol and increase your consumption of pure water. These basic steps will help keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
If you want to provide your skin with extra protection, use a rich anti-aging night cream. This is a habit you should adopt, especially if you’re in your early 30s or late 20s. Don’t forget that it’s always easier to prevent aging problems than to treat them.
Here’s a list of some of the most important ingredients that should be in your anti aging cream. Any product you use should contain one or more of these ingredients:
· coenzyme Q-10
· hyaluronic acid
· alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs)
· copper peptides
Coenzyme Q-10 has quickly become a popular addition to anti aging products. It helps make skin smoother and promote skin growth.
Hyaluronic acid’s water holding capacity has clinically proven to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. As a matter of fact, iIt has the ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water.
Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) is considered one of the few anti aging ingredients that has actually proven its effectiveness. This ingredient is commonly added to anti aging products because it can help stimulate skin repair, increase skin thickness, promote exfoliation, and increase collagen production. Citric acid, glycolic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, and malic acid are all AHAs.
Recent studies have shown that copper peptides are beneficial in the healing process. They help stimulate collagen production and make skin firm again.
