The Truth About Wrinkle Skin Care

The latest news in anti wrinkle skin care creams is an ingredient called Functional Keratin. You won't find it listed as an ingredient in the major brands of wrinkle remover cream, at least not yet, but it's always best to avoid those big brand names, anyway.

They spend too much money on advertising and not enough on high quality ingredients. They use cheap ingredients like petrolatum and mineral oils, so that they can put more profits in their pockets.

Practically every wrinkle skin care solution on the market contains artificial preservatives and added fragrances. Even though, those are the two most likely causes of allergic reactions. Many of them are toxic to the central nervous system and the organs of the body.

There is much debate about the use of artificial preservatives; in particular, researchers question the safety of parabens. It's really hard to find a wrinkle remover cream that does not contain at least one paraben preservative. Many products contain three or more different parabens.

There is no need to include all of these artificial preservatives in this type of cream and I have no idea why cosmetic companies continue the practice. But, at least there are many paraben-free products entering the market. I'm sure that more will follow soon. But, let me get back to Functional Keratin.

Keratin is a protein found all over the human body. It is a major component of healthy skin cells. Along with collagen and hyaluronic acid, the protein is responsible for the skin's strength and elasticity.

Manufacturers have tried for many years to find a way to make keratin water soluble and include it in skincare creams, without rendering the protein "inactive" and unavailable for use by the cells. Now, the KERATEC Company has found a way to isolate keratin from sheep's wool and use patented processes to make it soluble, yet still fully useful.

They called their compound "Functional" Keratin, because the peptide protein remains fully "functional". The skin's cells can use it to create new fibers and stronger collagen. Wrinkle skin care cream containing the ingredient has been shown to increase skin-cell proliferation by as much as 160% after only three days of use.

It's quite unique when compared to other creams, because you can "see" an immediate change. The composition of the solution is similar to "liquid skin". It actually "fills" in wrinkles and refracts light, just slightly.

So, the use of these skin care products containing the new compound will make your face look smoother than it actually is. While providing this immediate benefit, the other components in the wrinkle remover cream are working to make long term changes.

In clinical studies, researchers have shown sustained improvement in the skin's elasticity of 42% over 18 days. There's a 22% improvement in only 24 hours. In other words, the more you use it, the better you'll look.

That's how wrinkle skin care should be. It's too bad that the major companies don't agree. Look for products that contain Functional Keratin and avoid those nasty parabens.

An Honest Critique of Age Defying Skin Creams

By: Laurel Levine | 25/11/2009 | Skin Care
Have you ever read a critique of age defying skin creams that told you whether or not investing in the formulas would be a wise choice or not, but never really tells you why? This is typical of a product comparison sponsored by one of the major players in the cosmetics industry. These reviews will never tell you why a product being compared is not as good as the one they have recommended, because that would give you too much information.

By: Laurel Levine | 25/11/2009 | Skin Care
It is a definite shame, but more often than not an age defying age cream will not do anything in order to help you look younger. The anti aging formulas that the cosmetics industry produces have little effect on the condition or appearance of your skin, because the ingredients these companies are using in these formulas are all wrong. Let me tell you a little bit about these products.

How to Find an Age Defying Body Cream

By: Laurel Levine | 25/11/2009 | Skin Care
Let’s face it. An age defying body cream is supposed to be designed to firm up your skin and eliminate wrinkles, but very few of the formulas on the market are developed using the ingredients that are necessary for making this happen. The bulk of the anti aging formulas being developed don’t contain ingredients that are so much as healthy, let alone compounds that will help you to become younger looking.

How to Compare Eye Serums

By: Laurel Levine | 25/11/2009 | Skin Care
It is difficult for many of us to compare eye serums, because a lot of times people just don’t know what it is that a formula needs to contain in order to be effective. This is why most of us allow the cosmetics companies to advise us as to what it is that we need to buy through the various media sources that it influences. Listening to what they tell you is a very bad idea.

Discover the Best Eye Serum

By: Laurel Levine | 25/11/2009 | Skin Care
Let’s get right to it. Many people believe that the best eye serum is constructed using collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and possibly Haloxyl, although Haloxyl is only available in a few anti aging eye serums. It is very little wonder that so few people have seen results in their attempts to remove the wrinkles, bags, and dark circles from their eyes. Most of you are simply not using products that contain the right ingredients.
