After the 30-years-mark, most women seriously think about buying anti-aging cosmetics. And the inscription on the box “anti-age” no longer seems so far away to us.
And now we are studying the composition of anti-wrinkle creams and wondering what exactly should be in such cosmetics.
Creams, serums and masks marked “anti-age” help fight the first signs of aging
– with the first wrinkles. Skin aging is inevitable, but the use of anti-aging cosmetics will help maintain the beauty and youthfulness of your skin and maintain its natural attractiveness. By the way, the best cosmetics can be bought at Neal’s Yard Remedies.
How to Choose Good Anti-Aging Cosmetics?
All the power of anti-aging products is found in anti-aging ingredients. Here we will talk about them today. Cosmetologists have found 10 main components that turn ordinary caring creams into cosmetic preparations that prolong the youthfulness of your skin. These elements are found in cosmetics sold on the Neal’s Yard Remedies website.
Hyaluronic Acid
The main task of hyaluronic acid is to retain moisture and maintain the water balance of the skin.
This component helps the process of skin regeneration, increases its elasticity, visibly evens out the first wrinkles. The acid helps the metabolism of epidermal cells and accelerates biosynthesis. As a result, the skin is smoothed and the appearance of new wrinkles slows down. It is for such cosmetics that are sold on the Neal’s Yard Remedies website.
AHA Acids
These alpha hydroxy acids or, more simply, fruit acids, affect our skin not only at the tissue level, but also at the molecular level. They have an exfoliating and anti-inflammatory effect at the same time. Cosmetics with AHA perfectly lighten age spots, fight fine wrinkles and improve the condition of the skin in general. Peels with such acids perfectly rejuvenate the skin and fight acne.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
This powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent is able to slow down and prevent the process of collagen glycation, and therefore slow down the aging process of the skin.
Cosmetics with alpha-lipoic acid will soften the contour of wrinkles, tighten pores, normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands and protect the cell membrane. The healthy radiance and elasticity of young skin will return to the skin.
Peptides
Peptides stimulate the production of collagen, and as a result, the skin after using such cosmetics becomes more elastic and supple.
Peptides are excellent assistants in the biochemical functions of skin cells, which means that they will perfectly help the cells restore their “youth” and start the rejuvenation process. They are effective in combating wrinkles and general skin aging.
Coenzyme Q10
This substance is considered an excellent antioxidant not only in biomembranes, but also for blood plasma. This free radical scavenger miraculously restores vitamin E and gives the skin a second youth.
Thanks to coenzyme Q10, the work of epidermal cells improves and their regeneration increases, as well as the oxidative process of mitochondria slows down, which means that cosmetics with this substance can be called youth elixirs.
Collagen
The lack of collagen is the first reason for skin aging, therefore, in order to prolong our youth, it is necessary to regularly replenish collagen deficiency.
By restoring collagen fibers, we will regain a smooth and elastic skin structure and smooth out the first wrinkles. In addition, collagen-based cosmetics help prevent skin from losing moisture and preventing new wrinkles from forming.
Elastin
This protein can proudly be called a miracle component. This allows the skin to contract and return to its original position, without leaving wrinkles in the places of contraction.
Thanks to it, the skin restores lost elasticity and firmness, so cosmetics with elastin are very effective and really have a rejuvenating effect.
Retinol And Tocopherol
Retinol is one of the types of vitamin A, tocopherol is vitamin E. Working in tandem, these vitamins contribute to rapid and effective skin rejuvenation.
It is difficult to overestimate the impact of this pair on the condition of the skin: deep hydration, anti-inflammatory effect, elimination of inflammation, stimulation of cells and even collagen production. Also, cosmetics with these vitamins has a tonic effect and eliminates the problem of age-related pigmentation.
D-panthenol or dexpanthenol
It is also provitamin B5, which has several significant effects on the epidermis at once.
Cosmetics with vitamin B5 will help support the process of metabolism at the intercellular level, restore collagen fibers and retain moisture. D-panthenol, getting into the deep layers of the epidermis, turns into pantothenic acid and plays an important role in regenerative and anti-inflammatory processes.
Natural Oils
We must not forget about our faithful helpers in the fight against wrinkles – natural oils. They can be found in the composition of good natural anti-aging cosmetics, and you can also use these oils for care.
Argan oil, rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and E, fatty acids and natural antibiotics, perfectly fights against premature skin aging.
Grape seed oil is just a pantry of vitamins A, B, C, E and PP, which means that you are not afraid of flabbiness and the appearance of the first wrinkles.
Macadamia oil is ideal for very dry skin, because it perfectly moisturizes, nourishes and protects the skin, has a regenerating and anti-inflammatory effect.
Jojoba oil prolongs the youth of each cell due to the high content of amino acids, protein and vitamin E, retains moisture and fights peeling.
Wheat germ oil helps to rejuvenate aging skin, as it has a high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids, lecithin and vitamins A, B and D.
Rose oil will help solve the problem of excessive pigmentation, saturate with tonic and nutrients, as well as visually reduce fine wrinkles and capillary reticulum. Rose oil is used in a cosmetic line sold by Neal’s Yard Remedies.
Summing up, I would like to remind you that it is easier to prevent a problem than to deal with its consequences. Therefore, do not wait for the first signs of wilting to appear, start with prevention. It can be a few drops of natural oils added to your creams and fruit acid creams.
Well, if wrinkles have already appeared, then approach the fight against them fully armed – cosmetics with anti-aging ingredients can be used after 30-35 years, depending on the condition of the skin. By the way, you can buy it on Neal’s Yard Remedies website.
