Don't Ignore the Signs of Aging



Dont Ignore the Signs of Aging

 It is inevitable that everybody faces a time when the use of anti-aging treatment products becomes the most viable option. As people age, it is impossible to conceal the fact that there are implications of aging, specifically when it comes to outer aspect of the body. The skin sags, develops lines, shows wrinkles, and becomes unattractive. Coincidentally, the first signs of aging start as early as on your late 20's, or if lucky, at 30's or 40's.


While for most people the use of anti-aging treatment comes during or between these times, it is more advisable that they use it even before there are signs showing. More beauty experts insist that doing so inhibits the early formation of aging signs such as crow's feet, laughter lines, fine lines, and sagging skin. By keeping a certain routine application of anti-aging treatment, it is also maintaining the youth in your skin, and more importantly, keeps it healthy; thus, delaying the aging effect as long as possible.

Don't Ignore First Signs of Aging

Most women ignore the appearance of the very first fine wrinkle lines. This is not advisable. Denial can be your worst possible action when this time comes in your life. As early as the first wrinkle lines appearance, it is recommended that it is fixed. Otherwise it can materialize into something more serious which most likely will need more complicated type of treatment. Selecting and applying of the right anti-aging treatment cream should help remove these lines and inhibit more lines from forming.

What Is The Role of Anti-aging Treatment Products?

Good anti-aging treatment creams or products contain important vitamins and nutrients which are proven to be effective in rejuvenating the skin. Aside from vitamin A, there are various vitamins and chemicals used in these products to help improve even more the look of aging and wrinkling skin. These components help boost collagen and elastin, the proteins that break down as people age therefore making skin sagging and wrinkling. Most of these anti-aging products contain ingredients that help develop and supply these proteins to your skin so that it becomes rejuvenated and healthy looking, while reducing the lines and wrinkles associated to old age.

Questions People Ask Me

Why do I need a skin care regime?
This is the most popular question that people ask me. I say ... you have one chance to make a good first impression. If you have great skin and feel good about yourself then you will make a good first impression.

As skin ages the dead skin cells accumulate on the surface of your skin and this makes your skin look dull. A good skin care system helps the natural renewal process of your skin and should include five important steps:

1. Cleanse - to remove dirt oil and makeup
2. Exfoliate - to remove build up of dead skin cells
3. Freshen - to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and helps reduce pore size
4. Moisturize  - to keep skin moist and supple
5. Protect - to prevent moisture loss.

Keeping your skin healthy and elastic is the purpose of a good skin care program.

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.
