Dry Skin and Wrinkles – Is There a Connection?

Posted: Mar 04, 2011 |

With so much advertizing claiming of a link between dry skin and wrinkles, it can be hard to get to the truth. In fact, there are different reasons for both but there are effective solutions out there that can restore healthier and younger looking skin.

Why do the cosmetic companies bang on about dry skin and wrinkles so much? Simply to sell more of their chemical filled products of course!

The truth is there is no link between these two, each having separate causes.

Dry skin can be the result of hormones, environment and aging while wrinkles are the result of over-exposure to the suns UV rays, loss of collagen and elastin and also the result of free radical damage or oxidation.

Rather than fall for the latest hype, it is worth looking for the truly organic creams that are proven to work and which do not contain any harmful additives. Most of the leading brands are full of mineral oil as a synthetic moisturizer and parabens to preserve them.

These are very bad for your skin and can actually cause dry skin and wrinkles with long term use, as they are petroleum by-products and strip away your natural oils.

To kill two birds with one stone as the saying goes, look for the latest creams with ingredients like Xtend-TK, natural vitamin E, natural oils like Avocado and Grapeseed, Wakame kelp, Maracuja and Babassu wax.

These are completely natural and as such are great for dry skin, helping to balance your sebum levels so that your skin is not too oily or too dry. The delivery of many natural nutrients helps to heal and soothe your skin too, keeping it healthier in the future to prevent the aging signs from returning.

To fade any wrinkles and lines, these substances stimulate your body to make more collagen and elastin, thickening up your skin too so it's more resilient in the future.

It can take 6-8 weeks for you to feel your skin tightening and firming up, but this also gives you a sustainable and very natural way of keeping your youthful appearance into the future.

Powerful antioxidants are essential to defeat dry skin and wrinkles, nourishing deep down and neutralizing the harmful free radicals that lead to premature aging and disease. As your skin becomes dryer as you age, these are essential in any cream to help restore the balance.

As you can see, dry skin and wrinkles need not be a problem now you know the best ingredients to use that are natural and proven to work.
