The Truth About Anti Aging Skin Care Treatment

Anti aging skin care treatment is very popular right now. It seems everyone is a skin care guide or has one you must faithfully use. Here's a shocking truth: Most of what you hear is a lot of inaccurate statements or just a bunch of advertising hype.

Skin Care and the Sun

Of course, the sun can cause damage to your skin.
So can poison in your food. Bacteria in your water. We don't need some so called expert to tell us that.
What we need is the truth about what can we do to protect our skin from overexposure to the sun. Is there a genuine anti aging skin care treatment that really works?

SPF Factor

Most of these skin care guides will tell you to use a sunscreen with no less than a SPF 15 factor. What they don't tell you is that SPF factor is possibly damaging to your body. That you can protect your skin without using any SPF. If you do choose to use an SPF factor, an SPF 15 is plenty.

UV Sun Ray Exposure

Skin cells quickly lose COQ10 when exposed to UV sun rays. CoQ10 is a vitamin-like material that can be found everywhere in the body. C0Q10 destroys what is called free radicals, therefore, it is an antioxidant. The UV rays will cause an increase in the production of free radicals in the body. Too many free radicals can cause a lot of damage to the cells, even skin cells. CoQ10 in an anti aging skin care treatment is thought to fight off these damaging free radicals.

Exfoliating - Microdermabrasion

These two methods remove skin- the outer layer.
So why are they promoted? Here's the truth: They shouldn't be used. Here's why: When you get older, your skin doesn't get thicker but just the opposite it gets thinner. Scraping off more skin from already thin skin is just unwise or maybe crazy. That is unless you like sore, red irritated skin.

A better way is to take a softer route. When you use a hydrating mask it can have a nourishing effect on your face leaving it much smoother and a lot cleaner. What it does is removes the dead cells not the live ones. Any one that tells you to exfoliate, get up and leave. They know nothing about anti aging skincare and zero about skin care guide.

Expensive Products - Not the Answer

You would think that if you paid a lot of money for something it should be the best and do the job better than cheaper priced skin care products.
Research has shown that many if not most of the top skin care products have very little active ingredients. Don't let price be your skin care guide.

Collagen- Consider the Source

Collagen, and very little at that, is a common ingredient many companies use. It's not expensive because it comes from sources like cow hide. Also, collagen from sources like this simply doesn't do any good. It doesn't work because it just won't penetrate the skin like it must if it is too be effective.

The average skin care treatment by many companies is to use "purified water", paraffin and some sort of fragrance. This "treatment" will make your skin feel smoother and moister, but it will rob your skin of its natural oils and eventually it will feel drier than ever. Feeling smoother is not the only result you want in an anti aging skin care treatment.

Some companies, and I found only one so far, that really want to bring to you a product that you can afford. One that has been researched enough to be effective. This one company would rather spend its money on finding ingredients that benefit your skin instead of spending wildly on advertising. Here's one such example.

Functional Keratin
Sea Algae
CoQ10
Vitamin E

Functional keratin help promote an increase of collagen and elastin. Also sea algae will nourish and support skin cell production along with elasticity.
CoQ10 and Vitamin E will repair damage caused by the sun. A company who truly cares about your anti aging skin care will include these ingredients and assure you they are from a quality source. Again I found only one such company. Hopeful others will follow their example.
