Anti Aging Skin Care

Is your skin telling you it’s time to make a change? Are you developing lines and wrinkles that you can’t seem to get rid of? In our modern world there are products designed to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, refine texture, and even skin tone for a more even skin tone and overall appearance.

The cause for wrinkles is a loss of collagen and elastin. You want a wrinkle treatment that makes the skin and tissues firm. The amount of wrinkling you have depends on your DNA make-up, dry skin and exposure to the elements usually make it worse, especially sunburns. Smoking of course is one of the most harmful.

You have a number of treatments you can choose from, and the treatment you choose can be tailored to suit your particular situation. Some of these treatments I am personally opposed to, but you may find them to be acceptable. For instance, I am opposed to any treatment that contains the following:

• Botox injections are one of the treatments used successfully by many, and it’s claimed that it also may help migraine suffers. The objection that I have is that it is a toxin, and nearly everyone these days is trying to de-tox (get the toxins out of their bodies) not inject them into their bodies. This toxin, when injected blocks the chemical that makes muscles move. That doesn’t sound good to me either.

• DHEA, dehydroepiandrosterone: a steroid hormone naturally produced by the adrenal cortex and found in human urine. The truth is very little is known about DHEA. Long term effects of self-medicating by using DHEA supplements may be beneficial, neutral, or harmful, but it is unlikely that DHEA supplements will affect each individual in the same way. Increasing DHEA may well increase testosterone, which in men may lead to prostate enlargement and in women may lead to facial hair. Increasing estrogen may help prevent osteoporosis or heart disease but may increase the risk of breast cancer. In other words, taking DHEA is a gamble.



The above treatments are probably acceptable to many of you, and possibly even preferred. As for me, I am not only interested in looking younger, I would also like to live longer. For that reason I prefer a cell renewal fluid that contains products like the following.

• Gluconolactone—gentle enough for all skin types, this polyhydroxy acid (PHA) increases skin cell turnover, diminishes the appearance of lines and wrinkles and improves texture, and it’s not toxic.

• Soy isoflavones—promote skin firming and the smoothing of lines and wrinkles while working to inhibit metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes that stimulate the degradation of collagen and elastin.

There are many more, but you get the idea, smoothing wrinkles does not have to cause toxicicity or be unsafe.

A cell renewal fluid that contains these ingredients will gently but effectively accelerate cell renewal. It provides antioxidant protection and enhances skin hydration to smooth texture and diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Soy isoflavones lend support by promoting the production of skin proteins and inhibiting the enzymes that break them down.

Young healthy skin regularly sheds dead surface cells and replenishes them with newer, plumper cells from deeper layers of the skin. This process is called cell renewal. As individuals age, cell renewal begins to decline. This decrease causes the cells in the outer layer of the skin to become sticky and accumulate on the surface, leading to a dull, sallow complexion; a rough texture; and an increase in pore size. Polyhydroxy acids (PHA’s) increase the cell renewal process, mimicking that of young, healthy skin. PHA’s work by breaking down the extra-cellular matrix that holds cells together, which allows the dead cells to slough off. As the skin’s surface is exfoliated, basal cells in the lowest layer of the epidermis are stimulated to speed up their rate of division, bringing younger, healthier cells to the surface. Smoother, firmer, and more radiant, these younger cells reveal a youthful complexion.

In my opinion, you will be much better off if you choose the anti aging formula that detoxifies the skin rather than make it more toxic.

    It is a given fact that all living things age. Animals, plants, and most especially people go through this natural cycle of life. For some people, aging is considered as something dreadful because it affects the largest organ of the body, which is the skin. So, to avoid revealing ugly lines on the face, and wrinkles on the skin, proper skin care is a must.

    Researchers began studying fucoidan around 1970, and since that time fucoidan has been cited in approximately 700 studies published in the National Library of Medicine's database. The overall findings of this large body of research, coupled with anecdotal evidence provided by a long history of use of fucoidan-bearing seaweed in areas such as Japan, Hawaii and Tonga, indicate that fucoidan demonstrates great potential as a safe nutritional answer for a wide variety of health complaints.
