Consumer Awareness Key In Quality Skin Care Purchases

Posted: Apr 15, 2010 |Comments: 0 |

The skin care industry is in the midst of a serious evolution.  The latest scientific advancements has made the treatment of wrinkles, discoloration and other symptoms of aging attainable through topical creams, serums and gels.  Naturally, this has increased the number of consumers as well as manufacturers out there looking for and providing these products.  The result has been whirlwind of skin care companies and wrinkle creams each promising that they have the best wrinkle treatment, so much so that consumers now have a difficult time purchasing effective products, and wind up with duds.  Perhaps in time the market will sort itself out and all of the "pretend" wrinkle creams and internet marketing scammers will have left the industry and life will return to normal, but in the meantime, consumers must be made aware of the potential pitfalls.  The author examines the latest skin care products, especially anti aging products, and offers consumers tips to be better prepared to make quality skin care purchases. 

Consumer awareness is essential because even though many of us have been using skin care products for the better part of our lives we are not well versed in the latest cellular treatments for our skin.  We may have heard the words peptides, or stem cells before but we are not quite sure exactly what they are and how they affect our skin.  For this reason, we must take it upon ourselves to increase our awareness, or educate ourselves in these matters.  While we may never be scientists, we can easily pick up the knowledge it takes to know what to look for, how to find and of course how to use the best wrinkle cream.  But it starts with a basic understanding of skin and how its healing processes change as we age. 

Our skin is obviously made up of millions of cells and those cells constantly divide into two new cells.  This process is known as regeneration and as we age it slows significantly and that is the number one reason we begin to show the signs of aging, prematurely or not.  The problem is that our skin cells can only divide a certain number of times in their life and as we age, we have less and less cells capable of regeneration.  This leads to an inability to heal itself, and thus, wrinkles begin to appear.  So to reverse this problem, we need to stimulate new skin cell growth and of course regeneration. 

That is where peptides and stem cells come in.  Peptides, more specifically copper peptides, are the most effective way to stimulate this new cell growth.  Matrixyl is the name brand of one copper peptide that has proven to be the most effective at this task.  Stem Cells, on the other hand, are harvested from apple cores and can be applied directly to the skin in advanced gels and creams.  These stem cells literally add new cells to your skin and bypass the growth stage making wrinkle creams work that much more effectively. 

While stem cells and matrixyl are not the only way to accomplish this goal, they are the best documented ingredients to do so.  The thing to remember is what these ingredients are trying to do.  Find a wrinkle cream that focuses on cellular regeneration and uses these ingredients and you are sure to have found a winner.  Try other products and you may find that they are far less effective, but either way make sure the decision that you make is an educated one and based upon solid and scientific thought processes.

    The best anti aging cream isn't a product, per say, but an anti aging routine combining the effectiveness of multiple treatments. What do I mean? I mean, rather than just using a home made wrinkle remover or a store bought anti aging cream -- why not get the benefits of both?

    Sunscreen creams are necessary when you plan to spend a long time on a hot, sunny day. Sunrays contain ultraviolet rays that penetrate deep into skin tissues and destroy natural binding elements that keep the skin intact, making it loosen up over time.

Sermorelin (Bio-Identical) is designed to stimulate the pituitary gland's hormone growth hormone production. Once your body produces more human growth hormone, Sermorelin will also stimulate your liver's IGF-1 (insulin growth factor).
