Finding the Right Anti-Aging Skin Care Treatment
If you're looking for an effective anti-aging skin care treatment, let me give you some help.
I'm not selling any products, here.
I'm just providing a bit of friendly advice.
Consumers need help.
The US Food and Drug Administration found that the majority of people surveyed in a recent questionnaire had experienced an adverse reaction to a cosmetic ingredient at some point in their lives.
The FDA's advice is patch testing on an inconspicuous area.
My advice is a little different.
The most common causes of adverse reactions are artificial preservatives, natural concentrated fragrances and artificial fragrance ingredients.
The solution, in my opinion, is to shop for preservative-free, fragrance-free cosmetics.
Artificial fragrances will be listed on the label of ingredients, usually in one simple word; fragrance.
Natural concentrated fragrances are sometimes referred to as "essential oils", because they are said to convey the essence of the plant.
They are not oils, nor are they essential for skincare.
Artificial preservatives are typically included to increase the shelf-life of a product.
Cosmetic companies mass produce these items.
They can ill afford to have something going bad on their shelves, before they can sell it to unknowing consumers.
There is no need to include artificial preservatives in an anti-aging skin care treatment, because it should contain natural vitamin E.
Natural vitamin E is just as effective for prolonging shelf life as any artificial preservative, but it costs more.
That's why companies don't often include it.
Natural vitamin E is an antioxidant.
Antioxidants are ingredients that you want in all of your skincare products, because they protect against free radical damage and can even reverse some of the damage that has already been done.
Research has shown that some antioxidants are better at repairing damage than others.
For example, an anti-aging skin care treatment containing tiny particles of the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 was show to reduce wrinkles and reverse sun damage by as much as 30% after three months of use.
Some ingredients work even faster.
The active form of the protein keratin has been shown to increase skin cell proliferation by over 160% after only three days of use and increase the skin's elasticity by over 40% after only 18 days of use.
Some of the better creams on the market contain both coenzyme Q10 and the keratin.
Why not use everything that we've got? Research has shown that an anti-aging skin care treatment containing wakame kelp extracts prevents the breakdown of the skin's hyaluronic acid by inhibiting specific enzymatic activity.
Compounds found in the kelp also help protect the skin from sun damage.
You may have noticed that most of the good ingredients are natural ones.
Except for concentrated natural fragrances, natural ingredients do not cause allergic or adverse reactions.
You don't want an adverse reaction if you have seen some of the signs of aging.
It will take too long to heal and the scarring could be permanent.
So now that you know this, shop for a preservative-free fragrance-free all natural anti-aging skin care treatment.
That's my advice.
