WRINKLE REDUCING AGENTS
We search and search in hopes to find the perfect cream that will reduce
the signs of aging. Although it seems as if everyone has jumped on the
ban wagon with a new formula these days, there are few that truly work.
Perhaps a quick fix, but what about 3 to 6 months down the road.
We seek-long term benefits.
Our layers of skin take us through a journey called mitosis every 28 days.
In this process cells divide and make their way to the surface. Once at
the
surface, we shed to allow the new layers through. Aging processes
lead
to
changes in our skin composition, loss of skin function and elasticity
allowing the outer layers to be dehydrated which means rough wrinkly skin.
With age, our skin normally becomes thinner and finely wrinkled. Oil
producing, (sebaceous) glands become less active, and our skin
becomes
drier. The number of blood vessels in your skin decreases,
and your dermis
can get thinner, and more fragile, so you lose your youthful color and glow.
In addition, our skin replaces old cells more slowly and cells repair
themselves less effectively.
This brings me to the products we use. A successful product must
address the
problems of our aging skin. Most products provide an
artificial barrier
so that moisture is trapped. While this may hydrate
the skin lying
underneath this layer of greasy substances, it is not the
natural way our
skin retains moisture. In fact, it is a failed strategy
as it “tricks” the
skin
in to perceiving that all is OK. Products based in
petroleum and mineral oil
may feel good at first and you think you have
found the perfect one. In
essence, you are only correcting the problem
in a short term. Such products
have done nothing to correct the basic underlying problem.
Once again leaving you on a quest to find "the
perfect formula".
Aging is the hard part however; preserving our skin should be the easy
part.
Finding a product that is readily absorbed and leaves no topical
residue
factor
or greasy after feel should not be so difficult.
Our dry and wrinkly skin is the consequence of a loss of natural
occurring
lipids in our skin. Such lipids are sterols, fatty acids, and ceramides.
These lipids are readily absorbed and contribute to the natural processes
used to keep our skin hydrated and feeling soft. These ingredients are
also
critical to many to pieces of the puzzle (in addition to hydration)
that
keep our skin youthful.
