Aging Skin: The Best Ingredients for you Face Products
February 1st, 2010Aging is one thing that all of us must face sooner or later. However, when it comes to aging skin treating it sooner rather than later is definitely better. As a matter of fact, skin wrinkles and not just fine lines can begin to appear as early as your late 20s.
Not only should you adopt an anti aging skin care routine at a young age, but you should also make sure that the products you are using contain the appropriate ingredients. Make it a habit to read product labels before purchasing any skin care product. Here’s a review of the most important ingredients that any skin rejuvenation product should contain.
Antioxidants
Antioxidants are quite possibly one of the most important components in anti aging skin care products. They help neutralize free radicals and deter the aging process. Even though they cannot reverse skin damage, they can help keep it from progressing.
Vitamins E & C
Both of these vitamins are essential for healthy skin. Vitamin E protects the outer layers of the skin, prevent water loss, and increase the efficiency of sunscreens. Vitamin C, in turn, is a powerful antioxidant will help you promote cell turnover, improve skin texture, reduce age spots, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Peptides
Peptides help keep your skin from wrinkling. This is done by triggering the production of collagen and plumping up the skin.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids and Beta Hydroxy Acids
Alpha Hydroxy Acids also known as AHAs help remove dead skin cells and improve the texture and color of your skin. This allows moisturizers to penetrate more deeply into the skin. It also helps improve the water retention properties of aging skin.
Salicylic acid has anti inflammatory properties. It also helps unclog pores and acts as an exfoliant.
Potent Humectants
The right moisturizing ingredients are essential in all types of anti aging face products. Since skin loses the ability to retain moisture as we age, it is vital that you maintain the adequate level of hydration.
Sunscreen
Sun protection is a very important part of healthy skin care. By using products with SPF while we are young, we can stave off premature aging. Mature skin also needs to be protected from solar exposure to keep it from further damage.
Bleaching Components
Aging skin usually presents hyperpigmentation problems (i.e. age spots). If you’re trying to reduce their appearance you’ll need to look for products that contain “brightening” ingredients. Ferulic acid, waltheria indica leaf extract, and licorice extract are all useful for treating hyperpigmentation problems.
Finding good face products for wrinkles means finding products that contain cell communicating ingredients, anti inflammatory ingredients, and sirtuins. Cell communicating ingredients “tell” your cells how to do the right things. Anti inflammatory ingredients help inhibit the skin’s reaction to external stressors. These include peptides, aloe, and hyaluronic acid.
Sirtuins are enzymes that extend the life of skin cells. They are involved in cell defense.
