However your skin looks, prevention is the key to keeping it healthy.
Now, the only hurdle (and it can seem impossibly high) is avoiding anti aging skin care products that don't work. Walk down any skin care aisle in any store and you'll feel overwhelmed. As a newbie skin care consumer, it's likely you'll get tripped up.
One common trap is buying products that adverstise collagen and elastin as ingredients. It's confusing because the slowing of collagen and elastin production as we age directly leads to wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin. These two ingredients should be essential to any antiaging skin cream, right?
Actually, no. Medically speaking, collagen and elastin cannot prevent face wrinkles, because they're unable to penetrate the skin. This critical (missing) piece of information lets manufacturers trick lots of consumers out of lots of money.
For them to be useful, your body must produce collagen and elastin naturally. Hey, you might be thinking, what about collagen injections? Those are effective, aren't they? Well, they're only effective in "covering up" wrinkles, not preventing them. The body will eventually reabsorb the injected collagen. That's why it's necessary to get an injection every couple months. It's a temporary fix.
So where do we go from here? The one thing I'll tell you, after all my research in this area, is... find out which natural substances spur your body to produce more of its own collagen and elastin. These ingredients will keep your skin smooth, supple, and wrinkle-free for the future.
One ingredient with this power is called Cynergy TK. I personally use it. In clinical studies on people, it has been shown to raise collagen and elastin levels and increase skin moisture. Cynergy TK also helps the body make entirely new skin cells.
Another natural substance I use for anti aging skin care is Phytessence Wakame which is an extract from a type of Japanese sea kelp. These two ingredients together, along with a number of other active ingredients, keep my face young-looking.
