Anti Aging Skin Care Guide: Is Your Anti Aging Skin Care Treatment Safe And Effective?

By: Sherri Stockman Home | Health-and-Fitness | Anti-Aging


This little anti aging skin care guide focuses on natural compounds that are good for your skin's health and that of the rest of your body, as well. If you are looking for another type of anti aging skin care treatment, such as Botox or collagen injections, I would not personally recommend them.

There are a number of drawbacks and side effects that accompany Botox. It is, after all, the most toxic naturally occurring substance known to man. It lessens the appearance of wrinkle by paralyzing facial muscles. The affects are only temporary, which may be a good thing, because many people don't look that great afterwards.

Collagen injections only work by "fattening up" the deepest of the skin's layers and "stretching" out the wrinkles. Many people have allergic reactions and, once again, results are only temporary. But, the choice is yours. This anti aging skin care guide covers safer options.

We have wrinkles and fine lines because of free radical damage that occurs throughout our lives. Early on, collagen and elastin production, as well as cell reproduction, keeps up with the damage. But, as we get older, we need more effective anti aging skin care treatment or our bodies cannot repair the damage done.

Any anti aging skin care guide will tell you that the sun causes most of the damage, but they often don't tell you how that works. It has to do with a process that occurs on the molecular level and involves electron movement, commonly referred to as free radical damage.

Antioxidants prevent and repair free radical damage because they are able to latch on to the renegade electrons and put them out of commission. So, effective anti aging skin care treatment should contain antioxidants that can assist in the repair and prevention of this kind of damage.

An anti aging skin care guide may also tell you this fact: if we can increase the body’s production of skin-cells, collagen and elastin production can also be increased. But most times they skip that, assuming that you might not understand the process.

The question that has faced researchers and skincare specialists is how best to increase the production, without doing any kind of damage.

The answer is protein. An effective anti aging skin care treatment should increase the skin’s levels of necessary proteins, like keratin and hyaluronic acid.

The body needs protein to reproduce cells and tissue everywhere, but most of what we eat goes to the support of critical organs, such as the heart and lungs.

The skin's cells often do not get what they need, especially as we get older, since all of the body’s processes are less efficient. You can see that my anti aging skin care guide is quite different from the norm, because to me, it's all about health.

New research has made available anti aging skin care treatment that prevents and repairs free radical damage, while increasing your body's production of new skin cells and fibers. They have clinically proven results using things like sea-kelp, extracts from sheep's wool, coenzyme Q10, vitamin E, olive oil and jojoba wax. Those are some of the ingredients to look for.

I know that this is by no means a complete anti aging skin care guide, but hopefully it gives you a place to start.
