Old Ladies Looking Young

Here’s an article for women that are trying to look younger by buying creams, instead of paying hundreds of dollars on surgeries. But how do we figure out which creams work and which don’t?

Looking younger and naturally more attractive is a challenge for many of us ladies – and for increasin numbers of men out there. When we have smooth, glowing, healthy skin looks we look more attractive and just feel better.

Many of us find that as we get older, a little more work and the correct application of anti aging products are need to give nature and our own natural beauty a little helping hand.

The major problem is to find the products that work and which are, to be blunt, a complete and total waste of time. What anti aging products should we use without simply spending 100′s and even 1000′s of dollars on useless trials? We can not trust the media and cosmetic companies to tell us the truth can we!

Here is what we can do. We can to take a close inspection of the ingredients to see if they contain those that we know are proven for the anti aging process and have a correct influence on our skin care regime. And just as importantly, we can look at what ingedients these products do not contain.

Firstly, any products we put on our skin should be completely free of mineral oils. Mineral oil, which is a petroleum based product, has been in use for many years as a hydrating agent. This sounds like it is good for the skin but it is, in fact, bad for the skin.

Mineral oil works by clogging the skin to keep in water. As we all know, clogging of the skin is not a good thing as it can lead to acne. Its long term use is for just one reason – it is very cheap to produce. I definately don’t recommend its use and I don’t recommend, the usually cheap products, that contain it.

Instead of mineral oil we should be using ant-aging products that contain naturally occurring moisturizers such as jojoba, almond, wheat germ as these do not clog the skin and therefore let out those nasty little free-radical agents.

Additionally, the vitamin B complex niacin is proven to be an effective moisturizing and anti-aging substance that actually restores skin cells. When you see this ingredient you know it will have a positive effect on your skin.

A PH balanced skin care program is essential. It does not matter what type of skin you have, anything other then a PH balanced program and must be avoided. Your products must also be hypo-allergenic and formulated without the use of dyes and chemical fragrances.

And finally, finding everything in just one product is just not possible. Reducing the effects and signs of aging while keeping your skin in healthy will meed multiple products. One single product that does it all does not exist (don’t we wish that were not true). Use a proven system of skin care with high quality products that complement each other. In this way you will get the skin you want and deserve.
