Wrinkles are probably the most dreaded skin problem for women. Men are considered to look more dignified as they age, while women are said to look older and more tired. Part of the aging process is genetic, but there are several habits that may be accelerating it.
One of the worst habits you can have is smoking. It has been shown that smoking produces free radicals that end up destroying healthy cells. Smoking doesn’t just age skin, it also promotes skin wrinkles over the rest of the body.
UV radiation is another age accelerator. Obviously, we all must go out into the sun on a daily basis. The idea is that you protect your skin with sunscreen and protective garments to keep sun exposure to a minimum.
Avoid sun bathing if you want to keep your skin looking younger. Sun damage, just like smoking, is cumulative and will cause more damage as you age.
If you want to keep your skin protected against these and other aging factors, you need to start using an anti aging or wrinkles cream early on in your thirties. In fact, some women have even started using these types of products as early as their mid 20s to help prevent face wrinkles in particular.
Here are some of the ingredients that you should look out for if you are in the market for a good wrinkle cream.
AHAs
One of the few anti aging ingredients that have been proven effective are Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA). They are primarily exfoliants but can stimulate skin repair, increase skin thickness, and increase collagen production. AHAs include glycolic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, malic acid and citric acid.
Coenzyme Q-10
This ingredient has become very popular in anti aging products. This ingredient contains firming properties that help smooth out the skin and promote skin growth.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
This ingredient is showing promising results as an antioxidant that can provide protection for the skin, repair skin problems, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Copper Peptides
Among several recently studied ingredients, copper peptides have shown positive qualities that include increased healing, stimulation of collagen production and firming qualities. Copper peptides should not be used with Vitamin C. When both ingredients are combined they neutralize the other’s effects. You can use both, but make sure to use them at different times during the day.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid, also known as the fountain of youth, has clinically proven to diminish fine lines and wrinkles due to its water holding capacity.
Anti aging skin care is only as effective as the products you choose. Natural skin care products, like BIOSKINREJUVENATION, can help deal with age spots, while other products such as Triple Effects Eye Contour Cream is a wrinkle treatment that helps treat eye wrinkles and dark circles.
