Stop Wrinkles - Take Care of Your Skin

Wrinkles can be avoided. Taking care of your skin will prevent the onset of wrinkles and keep your skin elastic and youthful looking. Some of the best ingredients to look for in your skin care regime include:


    
    Take Care of Your Skin
    
  • Collagen
  • Vitamin C
  1. Protect your skin – Damage from UV light increases the aging of your skin. To prevent premature aging of your skin protect it with a SPF specially formulated for your skin type.
  2. Keep your skin clean – It is improtant to remove dirt, oil and make up from your skin daily. Leaving make up on your skin can cause blocked pores which will lead to blemishes. Ensure that the cleanser you use includes a gentle exfoliant. By gently removing dead skin cells your skin will be naturally rejuvenated. Do not rub scrape, or use sharp abrasives on your skin. Likewise, avoid using any products that have alcohol in them.
  3. Hydrate your skin
  4. Keep your skin hydrated – Use a moisturizer that is formulated for your skin type. It is also important to hydrate your skin from the inside. Drinking water 6 – 8 cups of water a day helps to hydrate your skin and keep its’ youthful appearance.

Skin Care Facts – What’s the Bare Minimum?


Wrinkle Free skin
 There are many creams, soaps, cleaners and concoctions on the market to help the signs of aging, but are they really necessary?

Can wrinkles be minimized?

Skin care is more than reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Ellen Marmur, author of Simple Skin Beauty says that, “the appearance of wrinkles is the dead skin so it makes the skin crinkled, like tissue paper layered on top”. She recommends using a exfoliate weekly to help remove dead skin cells that make your skin look dull.

Do Moisturizers Have to Be Expensive?

Moisturizers are made to replace moisture loss from you skin. The more expensive brands may have higher quality items that make the moisturizers feel nicer, glide on smoother and smell nicer but their foundation is the same moisturizing ingredients.

What is important is to match the skin type with the type of moisturizer. Using creams and moisturizers with oily base may not be a good match for oily skin type. So match your skin type with the type of moisturizer.

Collagen can help skin be more elastic
Moisturizers work by providing suppleness to the surface of the skin thus making the skin surface appear smoother and less wrinkled. Collagen helps maintain the elasticity in the skin to make the skin smooth and firm. Wrinkles and sagging skin results from the loss of collagen during the natural aging process. By providing the body with collagen the aging process can be slowed down and wrinkles can be lessened.

Skin Care: Replace Your Collagen to Prevent Wrinkles

A leading University in the UK had done some reasearch regarding the nanostructure of skin care and aging creams and found a startling result. These high performance skin care creams contained a peptide amphiphile (PA).

 Peptides are often included in skin care creams to prevent the onset of wrinkles. Wrinkles begin when the collagen of the skin begins to brake down. When people are young their skin has healthy collagen that is strong and taut. As people age the long chains of collagen break down into shorter segments.

These segments are peptides and they trigger the body into forming more collagen. The new research performed at the UK university reveals than the peptides used in anti wrinkle and skin care creams provide a network for collagen to create new growth.


In addition to providing anti-wrinkle relief they hope to use this application for healing wounds as well.
