Did you know that the average anti wrinkle firming cream contains more toxins, allergens and irritants than actually effective ingredients? I think you would be surprised to learn about some of the things that they put in our anti aging wrinkle creams, for no good reason.
Preservatives are important. You don’t want to use a rancid product. It can cause infection. But, artificial preservatives are unnecessary.
By including natural vitamin E and using proper manufacturing processes, companies can insure that an anti wrinkle firming cream remains “fresh”. Natural vitamin E is also an effective skin antioxidant. It prevents free radicals from damaging the cells and causing wrinkles or lost firmness.
Moisturizers are important, as well. Moisture equals firmness. Dry skin is more easily damaged and has more wrinkles. But, anti aging wrinkle creams should not contain petrolatum or mineral oil.
Petrolatum and mineral oils are the most common “moisturizers” on the market. Yet, they are truly ineffective. They do not penetrate. They clog the pores. Dermatologists say that they “inhibit the skin renewal process”.
You want anti aging wrinkle creams that “support” that process. For daily use, look for grape seed oil. For nighttime use, look for Shea Butter.
Shea butter is virtually identical to the skin’s natural oils. It comes from the fruit of the Shea tree, is rich in vitamin A, E and essential fatty acids. Regular use alleviates many skin problems, including blemishes, wrinkles, itching, sunburn, small wounds and eczema.
Anti wrinkle firming cream containing Shea butter has been shown to fade age spots, reduce inflammation and restore firmness in as little as four weeks. It’s just a little too heavy to use under make-up or during the daytime.
Grape seed oil, on the other hand, is light enough for daily use. When used under make-up, it makes removal easier, since it prevents powders and foundations from entering the pores.
It is including in the best anti aging wrinkle creams because it has been shown to fade wrinkles and repair the skin around the eyes, while also acting as an antioxidant. So, you have moisturizer and antioxidants, what else do you need? The answer is protein.
Protein building blocks make up the skin’s cells and fibers. Keratin is responsible for the skin’s firmness and strength. But, until recently, the keratin found in anti wrinkle firming cream could not be used by the cells. It was not “bio-available”.
A new compound called Functional Keratin was created through a patented process that allows the protein to remain active and fully available for use by the skin. Only the best anti aging wrinkle creams contain it.
The rest of them contain hyaluronic acid, another important protein. The problem with supplementation is that it is continuously broken down by an enzymatic reaction. That problem has been solved by an extract taken from Wakame kelp. It blocks the enzymatic activity.
Anti wrinkle firming cream that contains Functional Keratin, Wakame Kelp and Grape seed oil is truly effective. Clinical studies prove it.
