Read About These Anti Aging Skincare Systems

Anti aging skincare systems are all the rage. According to a recent report, the most popular anti-aging ingredient on the market today is hyaluronic acid. Here’s what you should know about it.

Hyaluronic acid is a compound naturally present in the skin, but the amount varies. As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid present in our skin layers drops dramatically.

The roles played by the compound include increased firmness and flexibility. It plays a role in the production of new skin cells. Lack of the compound contributes to sagging, under eye bags and increased thinness, due to decreased production of new cells.

One of the reasons the compound has become a popular anti-aging ingredient is because it is one of the new injectable solutions. But, the way it works when injected has nothing to do with its natural roles.

It merely serves to increase the thickness of the fatty tissue layer, which in turn stretches out wrinkles and improves firmness. The same is true when collagen or other compounds are injected. Only Botox has a different action. It works to paralyze tiny facial muscles.

Dermatologists say that the inclusion of hyaluronic acid in skincare systems serves no purpose, because it cannot penetrate. It does not increase the amount of hyaluronic acid present in the skin, so it really has no anti aging activity.

A better choice is wakame kelp extract. Wakame inhibits the enzymatic activity responsible for the skin’s loss of hyaluronic acid. The ingredient is found in some of the better anti-aging products.

The popularity of ingredients comes and goes. When people learn that the products are ineffective, they choose to buy different ones. Eventually, companies stop adding the ingredients to their products. For example, collagen was at one time the most popularity anti-aging ingredient. You still see it is some skincare systems, but not many, because it provides no benefits.

For every bad ingredient, there is a good one. Another example of a good one is avocado extract. It has proven to be effective for increasing the skin’s collagen content, another thing that decreases with age.

With research and thought, manufacturers can make effective anti-aging products.

 Cleansers, moisturizers, under eye gels and firming masks are among the effective products on the market, but everything depends on what ingredients they contain. If you want effective anti-aging skincare systems, you need to read the label of ingredients. That’s the bottom line.
