Those of us that are lucky enough to be blessed with a long life are sure to also be cursed with face and neck wrinkles. You can, however, fight back…if you know how! Getting rid of wrinkles begins with an understanding of wrinkle formation.
Three things that happen as we age are the main causes of wrinkle formation. Looking at these individually will help you understand wrinkle formation better.
Let’s begin with the free radicals that are formed when your skin is exposed to sunlight. These guys spend their time attacking and damaging skin cells. “Crows feet wrinkles are the first sign of free radical damage. Always wearing sun screen when you go out will severely limit free radical formation.
Collagen is a protein that is responsible for your skin’s elasticity. Collagen production will begin to diminish after you reach the age of thirty and continue for the rest of your life. Using a good skin care product that contains collagen will help keep your skin younger looking.
Elastins are another protein that is used to bind your skin’s dermal layers together. Elastins will become dry and brittle with age, causing “folds” in your skin. Choose a skin care product containing evening primrose oil or shea butter to limit these problems.
A good anti-wrinkle treatment will also include other important ingredients. To eliminate free radicals, anti-oxidant (vitamins A & E) have to be included. A skin tightener like serum albumen is also highly desirable. And, try to find a product that contains an ingredient to stimulate collagen production, such as Matrixyl.
