Wrinkles are the earliest signs of the fact that you're growing old, besides being unsightly, and marring the beauty of your body. It is no wonder, then, that anti wrinkle skin care is becoming a more and more increasing concern of the 21st century obsessed with its looks. Wrinkling is not a disease. It is natural of skin to weather with age, especially the parts of it exposed regularly to the sun.
This damage, by exposure to sunlight, is called photo aging. It increases the possibility of wrinkles, dryness, and general sagging of the skin. "Kerastosis" - a crusty horn-like growth on the skin - is also likely to occur.
Before you go and purchase an expensive anti wrinkle skin care product from a renowned brand, there are certain basic truths you need to know. Firstly, is it at all possible to control the aging process of the skin? The answer is, partly. You cannot hope to look 30 when you age 60, but with proper care, you can possibly pass off as 40, which is not so bad at all. The way you can achieve this is not only by using the best anti wrinkle products, though these help a great deal. But you'll also have to eat right, take your vitamins, and expose your skin as little as possible to the sun.
Loss of firmness of the skin takes place at a molecular level. It is a slow and complicated process, and starts somewhere around your 30"s. Free radicals are formed within the skin tissue, which function to kill bacteria within the cells. This inflammation, obviously, is part of the immune system of the body. But aging and pollution increases the amount of free radicals being released inside the skin, which thereby increases the inflammation and it becomes chronic and damaging. Anti wrinkle skin care, therefore, should include the use of products that control the formation of free radicals and amino acid protein complexes, and decreases inflammatory function.
1. Price does not equal quality. The active ingredients in our products are exactly the same as the most expensive brands in the world, except that we're usually 6 months to a year ahead and use the correct proportions. There is generally only one international patentholder and manufacturer of the active ingredient.
2. The proportion of a key ingredient, usually by weight expressed as a percentage of the whole, is determinitive of whether it does what its supposed to. This does not that a little less may mean its a little less effective. It means that it will not do anything at all. On the opposite end of the spectrum adding more of an active ingredient than the substantiation test results demonstrate as most effective often reduces or eliminates the results. Unless it constitutes a manufacturer's trade secret we tell you the percentages of these important ingredients which always correspond to the maximum suggested effective and safe proportions borne out through testing and manufacturer's recommendations. If a product doesn't reveal the percentage of an expensive active it probably means less not more. Again this is true regardless of its pricetag. Conversely products proclaiming an excessive concentration is appealing to the "more must mean better" thought process. At best they offer no additional benefit. At worst they can be irrevocably harmful.
3. Many actives, particularly the various short peptides compete with each other to reach their dermal destination. Products that list multiple peptides is often a reflection of another tentacle of the "more must be better" mindset. Likewise it may block a consumers skincare goals. Picture a pack of hungry dogs racing towards a single small dish of food. None will have an effective meal. Its often best to apply the ingredients seperately, by a few hours or a few weeks, than to apply them all at once. This is our general approach in many of our products. There are certain peptides that do compliment each other and this has been revealed through substantial study. For example Matrixyl 3000 contains two peptides that have this symbiotic 1 + 1 = 3 relationship when they are combined at the correct 8% proportion in the final product.
