Don’t you just love the number of choices you have when it comes to products? Creams, serums, supplements, and powders are available for us to add to our beauty regimen. There are hundreds and even thousands of anti-aging products from which we can pick and choose for us to add to our beauty kit. Of course, choosing from so many would not be easy. Yes, it can be downright confusing.
The best step for you to make (to help you choose your anti-aging product) is to know the ingredients used and how these work in fighting wrinkles, erasing age spots and getting rid of dark under eyes. So here are some ingredients to look out for:
AHAs: Alpha-Hydroxy Acids are popular ingredients in skin products. These come from the sugars in milk and fruit (grapes, lemons, apples, etc.). They serve as excellent exfoliants. These work to get rid of dead skin cells, and as these fall off, they give way to the emergence of new skin. In some cases, AHAs may even encourage elastin and collagen production. AHAs are particularly useful in improving sun-damaged skin, as well as in improving pigmentation, roughness and wrinkling.
Glycolic Acids These are also sourced from natural acids. Anti-aging products containing this is very helpful in peeling the dead skin off so that new and younger-looking skin can make its appearance. Glycolic acids are very soluble and highly acidic. This combination serves to burn away the dead skin and then to draw moisture into the skin surface. Be sure to remember to use sunscreen when you are using glycolic acids, as this leaves you more sensitive to the sun’s rays.
Resveratrol Another effective anti-aging ingredient would be resveratrol, which can be found in red grapes. Resveratrol is quite effective in providing you with a more even skin tone, smoothening out rough skin texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and lessening the dark shadows in the under eyes.
Retinol This variant of Vitamin A plumps up the face, helping fill out the miniscule crevasses produced by wrinkles. Retinol also promotes collagen production.
Antioxidants These are substances that clear our bodies with free radicals. Free radicals cause damage to the skin, leaving it dull and lifeless. There are many anti-oxidants to choose from – including green tea extracts, as well as vitamin C and E.
Most anti-aging products are infused with these ingredients, helping improve your skin, leaving you looking good, maybe even better.
