Anti-aging
skin care products remind me of the song ’18 until I die’. Indeed, anti-aging
skin care products are highly popular nowadays, and why not? Who doesn’t want
to appear youthful forever?
When
talking about anti-aging skin care products, the first thing that springs to
mind is vitamin C-based anti-aging skin care products. These products function
by facilitating the formation of collagen (a structural protein that is present
in skin).
This category of anti-aging skin care products is connected to
antioxidants. Anti-aging skin care solutions that are based on vitamin C are,
however, confronted with the threat of being oxidized themselves (since they
come into contact with air during their use). So some anti-aging skin care
products are based on the derivatives of vitamin C, which are more stable and
less costly. However, the efficacy of such anti-aging skin care is not as high
as it is for vitamin C-based anti-aging skin care solutions.
Besides
vitamin C, vitamin E and lipoic acid are also anti-oxidants. Vitamin E is a
fat-soluble antioxidant that is present in human blood and aids in establishing
resistance against illness. Vitamin E is also known to inhibit cancer. Liponic
acid is recognized to counteract the indications of aging extremely efficiently
by correcting the skin damage produced by the aging process. Phytochemicals
represent the other group of anti-aging skin care treatments. Phytochemicals
are specific chemicals that are derived from plants. There are a number of
phytochemicals that are in use today. Phytochemicals reduce the incidence of
cancer in some forms; they include prostate cancer, breast cancer, and colon
cancer. That is why they find their place in anti-aging skin care products. Some
B-vitamins, including B5, B6, and B12, are also used in anti-aging skin care
products. The subject
of anti-aging skin care products is extensive and requires a lot of study. Though
the presently available products are successful, they still have obstacles to
overcome. Hopefully, these problems will be handled in due time and aid in
acquiring better and cheaper anti-aging skin care solutions. However,
anti-aging skin care products should be used only as a complement to the
natural means of skin and body care. So, drinking a lot of water, having a
decent night's sleep, exercising frequently, maintaining healthy eating habits,
and keeping stress at bay are vital strategies for slowing the aging process.
No anti-aging skin care product can genuinely replace them.
