Some Controversial Anti Aging Skin Care Solutions

Some Controversial Anti Aging Skin Care Solutions



Anti aging skin care products are very popular today. As our lifespan


increases so does our desire to remain active as well as look young and


healthy. Skin is important so a great deal of effort goes into the preparation


of beauty products especially those that increase the production of collagen,


which is the primary protein in skin. Twenty-five per cent of the skin’s


protein is collagen. Collagen is a member of another family of substances that


aid in reducing the signs of aging. we call them antioxidants, they aid the


repair of cell damage associated with skin damage.


Although the benefits of vitamin C (an anti-oxidant) are well documented,


it is still debated as to what our daily amount should be. Skin care


treatments that are based on vitamin C, pose the problem of becoming oxidized


themselves as they come into contact with air during their usage.


Other skin care treatments which mimic the effects of vitamin C are being


tried all the time which are hoped to be more stable in the atmosphere and


also cheaper to produce. Although these products are good, they cannot


actually compare with vitamin C but fortunately vitamin E and alpha-lipoic


acid are also anti-oxidants so they can be used to gain the same effect.


Vitamin E is found in the blood and is an antioxidant that is also used to


increase the body’s defenses against other health problems. It has many


functions including inhibiting the formation of cancer cells. Another of these


is lipoic acid which is found in every cell of our body to help generate


energy for us to live. It can also help reduce the aging process which affects


the skin.


Another group of products used to reduce the visible signs of aging are


phytochemicals which are compounds extracted from various plants and used in


many anti aging skin care products. Phytochemicals prevent occurrence of


certain types of cancer; examples of these are:



  • Cancer of the Prostate
  • Breast Cancer
  • Colon Cancer


These are some of the most common (and increasingly so) cancers in the


world today.


Surprisingly, the group of vitamins; B5, B6, and B12 have also shown that


they can be used to help reduce the effects of aging. This just goes to


highlight just how complex and far reaching the whole field of anti aging


skin care products is and why so much more research is required. A great deal


about the aging process has already been learned and the products available


today are already far more advanced than ten years ago; there is still a long


way to go however, before methods that successfully reduce the effects of aging


are commonplace.


The amount of research going on in this field will undoubtedly bring


results in time, hopefully bringing down the cost of these anti aging skin


care products in addition to increasing their reliability. A person should


never accept that everything science devises in relation to skin care and


anti aging is always going to be the best; we must not forget however, that


there are many more natural methods we can all use to reduce the signs of


aging on a regular basis. Natural methods are known, but few people actually


follow them; what proportion of the population actually eats healthy, gets


plenty of exercise, takes their vitamins, drinks sufficient water and obtains


restful and regular sleep?


Not the majority of people, that’s for sure.
