Wrinkles Removal
Wrinkles Go Away Like Magic!!! We all wonder if there really is a "face lift in a jar"
and, if so, what is it and where can I get some- right now! Of
course, we all would love such a simple remedy that can
miraculously provide us with the fountain of youth right in our
own little pot of face cream. But, unfortunately, the truth of
the matter is a bit more complicated than a face lift miracle in
a jar.
There are a variety of signs of aging that we see occur as
the years march along that can include-(just to name just a
few)- sun damage, dry, scaly skin, dark age spots, fine lines,
wrinkles, mottled skin tone, enlarged pores, sagging facial
skin, ruddy skin texture, loss of skin elasticity and a decrease
in the skin's healing abilities. Obviously, even if you have
just a few of these aging skin symptoms, don't you think it is
rather unlikely that just one simple, little face cream- the
miracle in a jar- is going to effectively address such a range
of issues? A magic wand, maybe, but who has one of those?
But don't despair, effective skin rejuvenation is possible
with accurate information and a well thought out strategy. The
first and foremost in creating an effective skin rejuvenation
regime is to use clinically proven anti-aging skin care
treatments. Although the market is saturated with products that
claim to banish wrinkles forever, firm sagging skin and make
those age spots just up and disappear right before your very
eyes; there are in actuality, only a handful of anti-aging
treatments that have been independently clinically proven to be
effective.
Start your skin rejuvenation regime with clinically proven
skin care treatments. For example, some of the more popular
favorites are Vitamin A-(better known as retinol), glycolic
acid- (an alpha hydroxy acid, AHA), Vitamin C Ester, and Vitamin
K. The trick is to make sure that the active ingredient(s) in
products you select have incorporated an appropriate percentage
of the anti-aging treatment.
If you review the ingredient list and the product only has
a 1% concentration of glycolic acid, then why bother? An
effective concentration of glycolic acid should be at least 8%.
(Although, any product with a concentration of glycolic acid
over
15% should only be administered by a professional, you
don't want to harm your skin!) The Vitamin A, retinol products
should have at least a .15% concentration. The strongest over
the counter retinol product that you can buy without a
prescription is 1%. The higher concentrations of both glycolic
acid and retinol can be rather strong so start very, very slowly
so your skin has a chance to get use to them.
Just these two skin care treatments can accomplish a great
deal in rejuvenating aging skin including exfoliating dead skin
cells, stimulating skin cell repair, encouraging new skin cell
growth, improving fine lines and wrinkles, stimulating collagen
production, improving skin tone and texture, decreasing enlarged
pores and can actually significantly improve acne or outbreaks
of blemishes. Not bad for beginning a new skin rejuvenation
regime.
Layering different anti-aging treatments is also an
important strategy to use if you want to achieve significant
results. Adding a powerful antioxidant such as a stable form of
Vitamin C Ester will help protect the skin from further damage
and improve the skin's healing ability. A "Super" Vitamin K
product is well known for improving those dark circles under the
eyes and is helpful is reducing the redness from broken
capillaries that can give the skin a red, ruddy appearance.
Although DMAE hasn't been clinically proven to firm sagging
skim, preliminary studies have been quite promising.
Hydroquinone in concentrations of 1% to 2% can be used to bleach
those stubborn age spots that can blossom with wild abandon as
we age.
There are simply hundreds of combinations for skin care
treatments that can be tailored to address your own aging skin
care needs so don't be afraid to experiment a little bit to find
the best combination that works for you!
