ANTI-AGING DAY CREAM

How Can Day Cream

Reduce Wrinkles and Fine Lines?

The right day cream can reduce wrinkles and fine lines. 

•  Here’s how.

Wrinkling and other signs of aging are caused loss of collagen and elastin, low levels of hyaluronic acid and oxidation by free radicals.  The loss of collagen and elastin is a natural part of the aging process, but that doesn’t mean that we have to put up with it.

• Important Skin Proteins

Collagen and elastin are structural proteins present in the dermis layer of skin.  They make up the elastic fibers that keep the skin firm, tight and young looking.  Loss of these important proteins leads to sagging and lost firmness.

When doctors perform face lifts, they basically stretch out the skin’s layers, which smoothes out any wrinkling.  If we can improve the skin’s firmness, by increasing its collagen and elastin content, we can smooth out the wrinkling, without plastic surgery.

Knowledge of the importance of collagen and elastin has led to the inclusion of those proteins in anti-aging creams and lotions.  But, it doesn’t work to apply those proteins directly to the skin’s surface.  They cannot penetrate into the dermis layer.  They simply dry out or look shiny on top.

• What Works for Your Skin?

What does work is get the body to produce more collagen and elastin.  That will reduce wrinkles and fine lines.  An ingredient called XTEND TK has been proven to stimulate collagen and elastin production, as well as new skin cells.

The low levels of hyaluronic acid that are seen in the skin of older people are not necessarily a natural part of the aging process.  It can and does occur at any age, because of an enzyme called hyaluronidaise.

Hyaluronidaise breaks down hyaluronic acid, which is responsible for the skin’s strength and smoothness.  As the levels become too low, the skin seems to break apart.  Increasing hyaluronic acid levels will reduce wrinkles and fine lines by pulling your skin back together.

Some manufacturers address the issue of low hyaluronic acid levels by including it as an ingredient.  Most don’t do anything at all to address that issue.  But, just as it is with collagen and elastin, adding more hyaluronic acid does not work.  It will simply be broken down by hyaluronidaise.

• Sea Weed for My Skin?

What does work is wakame kelp.  Extracts from the kelp have been shown to inhibit hyaluronidaise activity by 52% after only five days of use.  As the enzymatic activity is inhibited, the hyaluronic acid levels naturally rise to that of a much younger person. 

But, in order to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, a day cream must contain something that addresses the issue of oxidation and free radical activity.  Dermatologists now believe that free radicals are the primary cause of all of the signs of aging. 

• Antioxidants Prevent Oxidation

You may have heard of antioxidants.  Some of them are probably in your multi-vitamin.  They are the only compounds that can inhibit free radical activity and prevent oxidation.  Recent studies have shown that some antioxidants can actually reverse the oxidation caused by free radical damage.

For example, coenzyme Q10 has been shown to reduce wrinkles and fine lines by 30% after three months of use.  So, that’s how the right day cream can make you look younger.
