An anti aging skin cream must have the correct ingredients to give your skin that smooth radiant glow. Most anti-aging creams don’t even  come close to delivering what your skin needs. Your skin needs new collagen and elastin.  It needs new cells and fibers.  Let me show you what you need in anti aging cream to regain that smooth beautiful look.  Also I’ll show you some ingredients to avoid.

As I mentioned, to get that new fresh look from your anti aging skin cream you need collagen and elastin.  As we get older we get less.  Your body needs to produce new elastin and collagen.  When it does those terrible wrinkles slowly begin to leave.  Then in time that new, fresh, younger looking face begins to appear

Skin’s Building Blocks

Not all proteins are alike but they are referred to as the building blocks of the skin.  On such protein is called Keratin.  If Keratin  isn’t constructed or made the right way,  it will not penetrate the skin.  Therefore, most skin care products contain a useless type of “keratin”. The correct type of keratin must be in the anti aging skin cream or it is worthless. How do we find the correct type of keratin?

Ingredients that Work

Functional Keratin, also known as, Cynergy TK is a protein when added to an anti aging cream helps remove wrinkles.  It is the only type that I found that really works. Other companies claim to have keratin but it is usually from the wrong source therefore doesn’t work.

From the Sea of Japan comes an ingredient that is a must for anti aging skin creams.  It is called Wakame.  Wakame is an algae or sea kelp that has a lot of good ingredients such as, potassium, B vitamins, iron, sodium and calcium.

A laboratory analysis of the sea kelp found that a component in it helps promote smooth and younger looking skin. And that is what anti aging creams are supposed to do.

 As a extra bonus Wakame is an excellent antioxidant which will successfully fight free radicals.  It will also help increase the skin’s protein level.

Antioxidants

Usually we think of antioxidants coming with the vitamins we take.  But since free radicals damage skin cells it is very beneficial to include them in the skin cream.

Antioxidants like wakame, vitamin E and CoQ10 should be in anti-aging skin creams.  But they also should be natural not some synthetic filler.

Special, Effective Formula

Nano-lipobelle is a special ‘nano-emulsion’ form of CoQ10, which PENETRATES DEEPLY into your skin.  It is created in such a way that it will penetrate through seven layers of skin.  It contains both COQ10 and vitamin E in a special emulsion created specially for use as an anti-aging skin cream.  How effective is Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 in skin care?  When applied to your skin, Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 can produce quite a dramatic anti-wrinkle effect, which has been confirmed by scientific studies. This is due to its ability to increase collagen and elastin production in the skin.

Ingredients to Avoid

Briefly, let’s look at a few of the things that an anti-aging skin cream should not contain:

-alcohol because it is drying. (stearyl and cetearyl alcohol are fine. They are waxes and have nothing in common with the alcohols that cause skin problems.)

-fragrance because it can be irritating.

-sunscreen because it alone does not reduce the risk of skin cancer and some compounds are hazardous.

-parabens because they are cancer causing suspects.

-paraffin wax or mineral oil because they clog the pores and strip natural oils, leading to dryness. 

 Our skin is our largest organ.  We need to be careful what touches it since whatever does could end up in our blood.  This is a common sense health precaution. If you wouldn’t eat it don’t put it on your skin.  Use only natural ingredients in your anti-aging skin care creams. For more information please see my website.  – Thanks, Margaret Bell

Acai has one of the best nutritional values of any fruit, which is why acai berries are called superfoods. For centuries, acai berries were unheard of as a healing fruit beyond the South American rainforest where this incredible berry grows naturally.

The acai berry plant can be seen growing wild above the local palm trees in the South American jungle. Rows of acai palms are cultivated in government projects where the nurseries produce millions of plants each year. Workers, who harvest the acai berries, then blend them to create a healthy fruit pulp. Until a decade ago, private landowners were allowed to deforest half of their land. Now legislation has amended the figure to twenty percent.

One of the many reasons why acai berries are called superfoods is they are a flavorful source of many important nutritious ingredients. The acai berry is an abundant source of compounds called anthocyanins. These anthocyanins are the same nutrients, which give red wine its reputation for being beneficial to your health. Acai berries contain even higher concentration levels of anthocyanin than wine but without the health risks associated with drinking alcoholic beverages.

In this day of pesticides, chemicals, and other environmental toxins, we need valuable antioxidants contained in superfood acai berries on our side. You have probably heard about the benefits of red wine against premature aging, but the natural occurrence of anthocyanins in acai berries is twenty times the rate found in red wine.

At the top of the list of why acai berries are called superfoods is its unique ability to counteract the negative signs of aging. It is agreed on by experts that this anti-aging property is attributed to elevated levels of anthocyanins as well as the antioxidant vitamin mixture discovered inside the healthful fruit.

Due to the high level of anthocyanins in the acai berries, it has been shown to reduce the development of vascular and heart disease. This level of anthocyanins also helps to improve circulation, prevent blood clots, prevent arthrosclerosis, and relax blood vessels.

The acai berry is also an enriched mix of protein, which helps your muscles recover after overexertion. The berries provide dietary fiber to help your body process food, another good reason why acai berries are called superfoods.

The acai berry also promotes a healthy heart. Acai berries contain a high level of omega fatty acids, thought to have a protective effect on the heart and its ability to pump oxygen through the body. Fatty acids contained inside the superfood acai berry has shown to aid lowering levels of cholesterol in the blood.

As the reputation of this superfood fruit continues to grow, its availability is on the rise. Make a toast to your long and healthy life and discover for yourself why acai berries are called superfoods. What other keys to preventing and curing the world’s diseases could the rainforest be holding? Before the earth’s jungles vanish altogether, we need to learn how to contribute to their survival and in turn our own. The acai berry is truly one of nature’s most healing superfoods, and a worthy addition to any healthy diet plan.

In order for an anti aging skin care product to be effective and safe, manufacturers must use care when choosing ingredients.  Most anti aging skin care products do not perform as they should.  And, cosmetic companies seem to forget that our skin is more delicate as we age.  So, they include harsh ingredients and chemicals that can increase, rather than decrease the damage that has been done by the years.

It really scares me to think that anyone would buy an anti aging skin care product from HSN or QVC.  There is absolutely no way to know what those anti aging skin care products contain.  People learn the hard way.

If you read some of the reviews, you will see that there are numerous adverse reactions.  In many cases, the lips, eyes and face are drier and look no better than before.  And, anti aging skin care products are not cheap, so it’s not like you can afford to just try something else.

But, you are going to be an informed consumer.  We are going to tell you what ingredients to look for, as well as those to be avoided.  Let’s start with collagen.

An anti aging skin care product that contains collagen fiber is worthless.  The stuff was derived from cow hide and designed to be used by surgeons who inject it into the lowest of the skin’s layers.  There it acts like air or water in a balloon and stretches out the wrinkles and fine lines.  It only lasts for a while.  It is not replacing your body’s own collagen fibers.  It’s actually replacing some of the fat cells that are lost in that lowest layer as you age.

Now let’s look at alcohol.  Most anti aging skin care products contain ethanol, ethyl, methanol, benzyl or isopropyl alcohol.  What’s wrong with it?  It dries up natural oils, which are in short supply in older faces.  That’s one of the problems that cause wrinkles and fine lines in the first place, a loss of natural oil.

Then there are all of the ingredients that are either known to cause cancer or suspected to.  If an anti aging skin care product contains any of the following, you would be better off to leave it on the shelf.  They are parabens, diethanolamine, monoethanolamine, triethananolamine or the abbreviations DEA, MEA and TEA and dioxane.  In many countries around the world, these are either banned or restricted.  But, so far, the United States has decided to allow their presence in cosmetics.

It is illogical, when you think about it, because everything that your rub on your face is absorbed through your pores and enters your blood stream.  But, let’s move on to what you do want in your anti aging skin care products.

Cynergy TK, an anti aging skin care product containing a patented form of keratin, has been shown in clinical trials to help your body produce more of its own collagen fibers, as well as elastin and new skin-cells.  Wakame, a specific type of Japanese sea algae, has proven results that are similar to these.

By increasing levels of hyaluronic acid, it improves elasticity while reducing bags, dryness and irritation.  In other words, anti aging skin care products that contain wakame “heal” the damage done by sun and the elements.

Nano-lipobelle H EQ10 is an emulsion containing vitamin E and the nutrient COQ10.  As an anti aging skin care product, it has been shown to penetrate multiple skin-layers and soak up free radicals, which are produced when the body is exposed to sun, pollutants and even oxygen.  The ingredient has been shown to improve appearance and generate a healthy glow.

Stearyl or cetearyl wax allows your skin to retain more moisture throughout the day.  It also creates an ultrafine coating that protects your face from further damage.

It is hard to find anti aging skin care products that contain all of these ingredients.  But, it is worth your time to look for them, if you want something safe and effective.
