The Number 1 Question For Older Women. Increasing Skin Elasticity.

Have you ever done this? Taken a pinch of skin and pulled and let go, and watched your skin return to its normal condition? Flat? As it goes back into place it’s demonstrating skin elasticity.

But if you do that test with 2 people, a young girl and an older woman, you’ll see a big difference between the result. With the older woman the skin will return to it’s place much slower. That’s because aging skin loses it’s skin elasticity slowly as you age.

So what makes your skin elastic? It’s a combination of things but basically the most important skin proteins called collagen and elastin are responsible for skin elasticity. They help hold the skin together.

Elastin is a good example. It is a strong rubbery like substance that we find right throughout our bodies in places like our ligaments.

Both collagen and elastin form fibers that are extremely strong and help hold the skin in one piece and make it elastic.

There is a process called glycation, for example, that breaks collagen down. It’s not necessary to know why, it’s a little complicated, what you need to know is that you lose your stores of collagen as you age and what you do about increasing your collagen stores.

And as you lose collagen and elastin your skin starts to lose that skin elasticity, which you may be finding right now.

Now of course the big brand name skin care companies know that consumers realize that the loss of collagen and elastin result in the loss of skin elasticity, so they put both elastin and collagen in the bottles of skin care products that they sell.

But this doesnt work to increase the levels of these proteins in the skin. The reason is that molecules of collagen and elastin are too large to penetrate the skin, so they just remain on the surface. This fact has been known for some time.

So why are collagen and elastin in the bottles? To sell more bottles.

So if adding them to the bottles is useless how do you increase your skin’s stores of elastin and collagen?

It’s entirely possible to increase skin elasticity by increasing collagen and elastin and it’s done by a revolutionary product called Cynergy TK which is manufactured in New Zealand. What Cynergy TK does is to stimulate the skin to produce more of it’s own elastin and collagen.

The wool of sheep is used to produce Cynergy TK and studies have shown visible reductions in wrinkles within a few weeks use.

Cynergy TK isnt a skin care product and the consumer cant buy it. It is used as an ingredient in the worlds best skin care products.

So if it works so well why aren’t the big brand name products using it? Because it’s much more expensive than putting a small amount of elastin and collagen in the bottle and putting that on the label.

So then the best skin care products containing Cynergy TK must be really expensive then? But they aren’t, because whilst the big name companies spend tens of millions on TV advertising, which has to be factored into the product price, the small niche skin care company making the best skin care products doesn’t advertise on TV at all, so you won’t have heard of them and they don’t spend big on marketing. They spend on product quality.

So you really can improve skin elasticity by increasing collagen and elastin, and you can even try the products risk free, because this small company, knowing that you’ve probably never heard of them, offer a full money back guarantee just so you can satisfy yourself that they products are as good as they say.

So if you are finding that as you age you’re beginning to see the results of loss of skin elasticity there really is something you can do about it. Try the worlds best natural skin care products and you’ll be able to see the difference yourself, risk free.

The first thing you need to do is to give up smoking. Smoking is about the number 1 worst thing you can do for your skin, and no amount of great skin care products can repair the damage smoking does to your skin.

Don’t get burned. Sunburn is almost as bad for your skin as smoking, and can even give you skin cancer, something you definitely don’t want.

You need to eat lots of good fresh fruits and vegetables, the fresher the better so that you get lots of good antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, all of which are good for your skin.

And although it may seem strange to link exercise and skin it is important to do plenty of exercise.

But theres more. Yes there are great skin care products for forty year old women. Theyre no different from the best skin care products for 30 year old women or the best skin care products for 50 year old women, theyre just the best skin care products.

But it’s true that if you start using the best skin care products at forty then you’ve got a much better chance of reversing the skin aging process at 40 than you have at 60 or 65. The loss of skin collagen and skin elastin with aging is the biggest cause of aging skin problems, and you need to combat that to combat the development of wrinkles, lines and skin sagging.

At forty youve got a good chance of combating this if you start now. At 60 or 70 you dont. Because there are very good skin care products that really do work for forty year old women or anyone else, its just a case of how early you start to use them. The earlier the better.

So if 40 is in your past and you’ve started thinking more and more about finding the best skin care products for 40 year old women then if you follow that advice you’ll be way in front. Get healthy and start using the best skin care products.

Do both these things together and youve got a recipe for great looking healthy skin right through into old age. Leave it till youre seventy and youve got problems.

Finding The Best Facial Moisturizer Isn’t About Finding A Moisturizer

Sunday, March 29th, 2009
Scentsy | Flameless Candles | Wickless Candles

Would it surprise you to know that the best facial moisturizer is not actually a moisturizer at all?

But first what is a moisturizer and what should it be doing for your skin?

A moisturizer is designed to improve the hydration in your skin. Or in other words it helps the skin keep moisture in the skin cells. And if the skin dries out it becomes less supple, it looks and feels drier. And it can be more prone to skin damage.

As well as protecting itself better skin that is better moisturized just looks and feels good.

And different moisturizers work differently too. For example many moisturizers work by, amongst other things, protecting the skin from sunburn by way of an added sunscreen.

Unfortunately there are a number of products including moisturizers that contain suspect ingredients.

I believe that you should avoid using moisturizers which include mineral oil. Why? Because it isnt good for your skin, and as it coats the skin with oil to prevent moisture loss it can cause skin problems, like acne flareups.

And I also believe that moisturizers shouldnt contain a sunscreen either. Yes it is important to protect your skin from sunburn, vital actually. But there are some ingredients in sunscreens that some believe can cause cancer. And if you’re using a moisturizer every day, as you should, then you’re putting on a sunscreen every day, which is unnecessary.

So one of the most important things that you can do when looking to find the best facial moisturizer is to look at the ingredients. There are many skin care products that can contain some extremely nasty ingredients that can actually cause skin reactions and allergies.

So you can, in fact, do more damage than good if you choose the wrong facial moisturizer.

So now I’ve talked some about moisturizers and moisturizer ingredients, one of the most important things to consider. But which is the best facial moisturizer taking all this into account?

I believe that the best facial moisturizer is a range of natural skin care products from a little niche skin care company that I bet you haven’t even heard of, here’s why.

This small company a range of natural skin care products that are targeted to overall skin health rather than just moisturizing the skin. So if you visit their website you won’t actually find a moisturizer there at all. However if you use the products youll find that they moisturize better than any other product on the market. And that is intentional.

They add ingredients to their products for the moisturizing properties of the ingredients. They don’t add a sunscreen for reasons I’ve already mentioned, and they don’t use mineral oil in any of their products.

For example they add Jojoba Oil to their products. It’s a totally safe natural oil that works very well preventing moisture loss. It is absorbed into the skin cells and also leaves a thin film on the surface, resulting in better moisture retention and better skin suppleness. It is totally non allergenic and is good for all types of skin.

And ingredients like this are healthy for all skin types so this small company doesn’t make products that differentiate between skin type, they don’t need to.

Another important ingredients is vitamin B5. Vitamin B5 helps protect the skin from sun damage more naturally and also helps repair skin damage as well as adding a moisturizing effect.

And Sorbitol which is found in grapes and berries and seaweeds and others and can help the skin retain it’s moisture. It is from the seeds of the Capuacu tree.

There’s more, but I hope you get the idea. There are natural skin care products that work extremely well for overall skin health, but which also contain ingredients that moisturize extremely successfully as a part of a complete skin health routine.

And surprisingly at a more reasonable price than some. So even though it may come as a surprise the best facial moisturizer isn’t a moisturizer, it is in fact natural skin care products that work very well as a moisturizer, but do way more than moisturize. For all skin types.
