Now more than any other period of time more effective skin treatment products are now available. The fact of the matter is that it was through extensive research into to the actual dynamics of wrinkle formation and other symptoms of aging and sun exposure that has led to the development of so many great new products that actually work.

In the past, skin treatment and therapy products functioned on the skins surface where the wrinkles and age spots were occurring with limited success. These oil based skin care products softened up the skin which helped in cases where dry skin was exacerbating an existing problem but they did nothing with regards to what was actually causing the wrinkles and age spots.

One of the many things that was discovered through research was that it was a thinning of a layer in the skins substrate called the dermal epidermal junction that was the leading contributing factor to fine wrinkles on the thin skin of the face.

These are the wrinkles commonly referred to as crows feet. Substances were developed that have the effect of thickening the dermal epidermal junction by stimulating your skin to produce collagen and the result of a thicker dermal epidermal junction in the skins substrate is shorter and shallower crows feet wrinkles.

After your skin has tanned and become darker your skin has a natural process by which it rids itself of the pigment that is the cause of the tan. This is why your tan will eventually fade away. By studying and learning to understand the process by which the skin rids itself of pigment great inroads have been made with regards to the development of products that have the effect of stimulating your skin to eliminate excess pigment in areas commonly known as age spots.
