The demand for anti aging skin care products has never been greater which also means there are many products out there to choose from. The majority, as you have probably found out, don’t work so here are some ingredients to look for that will return your youthful appearance and keep you healthy.

You need to avoid the mainstream famous name brands when looking for the anti aging skin care products as they are generally ineffective and packed full of chemicals. They mostly contain collagen in them but this is scientifically proven not to work as the molecules are too big and so cannot penetrate the skin.

The best firming lotion will solve sagging skin problems when it contains at least these 3 active natural ingredients.

It is not only enough that the lotion contains these natural components but these ingredients should be in effective amounts to really make a difference in firming your skin.

Without too much technical jargon, let me explain what these three ingredients are.

1. Cynergy TK

Cynergy TK helps in getting back Collagen, Elastin and skin cells. Collagen and Elastin are responsible for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. As we age, the internal production and re-growth of Collagen, Elastin and skin cells reduce.

Cynergy TK helps in restoring our internal system to produce normal levels of Collagen and Elastin. It also helps our skin to be smooth, radiant & glowing and remove wrinkles and fine lines.

A young and attractive appearance with healthy skin can be maintained with the help of collagen cream products.  The 30% of natural collagen that we lose with age is replaced and compensated with the regular use of a quality anti wrinkle cream.

Adequate Collagen Production Prevents Wrinkle Formation

Our bodies contain collagen, which is a strong type of protein that is an integral part of the connective tissues in our bodies. Our bones, tendons, cartilage, ligaments and skin all contain connective tissue and therefore collagen proteins.  Collagen is especially essential to the skin as it gives the skin its elasticity and stretch.

There is high demand from the consumer for many anti aging skin care products and the cosmetic industry is only too happy to oblige us in our search for younger-looking skin. The range of anti wrinkle creams on the market is expansive and the scientists are still hard at work developing newer and hopefully more effective anti aging treatments.

BUT…

There are often chemicals within an anti wrinkle cream formulation that can be harmful to our delicate skin or even worse, cause systemic effects as the toxin is absorbed through our skin into our body systems. One might think that applying something topically to our skin is not going to have any serious side effects but that is extremely naïve. Anything that we put onto our skin or for that matter inhale into our lungs can cause very serious systemic effects. Of course, any side effect is likely to be dose-dependant, that is, the more you apply a toxic chemical to your skin the more of a damaging effect it will have in your body.

For a while now cosmetic surgery has been the best option for eliminating wrinkles. However, the significant advancements in the non invasive anti aging treatments have created a huge difference in the cosmetics industry. There are now the less aggressive skin renewals that are even done with minimal pain but will guarantee you better results. Let us discuss them one by one.

Anti Aging Treatments – Thermage

Thermage is a cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency to heat the deeper layers of the skin whilst cooling the outer layer of skin or epidermis. It will tighten the skin contour and will deliver a natural looking result by stimulating the production of collagen. It is suitable for all skin colors and types and is done as a single procedure. Improvements in your skin last approximately six months after the treatment. Other than treating the signs of aging such as sagging skin, jowls, “turkey neck”, eye hooding and fine lines and wrinkles, it also treats moles, small blood surface vessels, and warts.

Thermage is a non-surgical anti aging treatment so there is no requirement for pre-op blood tests or fasting. Also there is no recovery time involved. The only thing to be done is sunscreen maintenance as part of the basic procedure. Most patients who have undergone the process exhibit temporary redness or swelling for the first 24 hours post procedure but this quickly fades.

Anti Aging Treatments – Intense Pulsed Light

The Intense Pulsed Light is the technology used for skin aging reversal and of course, photo rejuvenation. This treatment was initially used for hair removal until it was found to have anti aging properties. It works particularly well in the treatment of broken capillaries and pigmentation and to refresh sun damaged skin and age spots.
