Be aware of harmful antiaging skin care dry lotions and choose the right one

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

We found recently that a number of people are looking for antiaging skin care dry lotion. Perhaps that meant for dry skin or a normal to dry lotion. Hopefully, they were not looking for the brand name of a popular sunscreen product. Because there is one that has a similar name that contains many things that are in fact harmful. Here we look at some ingredients that could damage and cause more of the outward signs of aging.

Essential oils, like citronella, are often used in antiaging skin care dry lotion. Any oil that is not cold pressed can become rancid during shipping. To increase the shelf life, company?s add preservatives like parabens, which may cause cancer.

Any of these ingredients, including citronella oil, often used as a ?natural? insect repellant, can cause irritation, allergic reactions and inflammation of the dermis or the skin?s outer layers. In some cases, the dermatitis is so severe that it requires a doctor?s care.

You should never buy a product that does not have a ?use-by date? and any cosmetics that are over a year old should simply be tossed. Mascara, for example, often lasts a long time, especially when used rarely, but most cases of conjunctivitis trace back to the use of old mascara. It can cause more serious eye injuries as well.

It has become common place to see sunscreens included in antiaging skin care dry lotion. Padimate-O is often used for this purpose. Studies have shown that this substance is absorbed through the pores and increases free radical production. Free radicals cause cellular mutations that become wrinkle and may lead to cancer. Thus, there is some controversy surrounding the daily use of screening lotions.

The major concern is that people believe they are protecting themselves from skin-cancer, but several epidemiological studies indicate that the screens actually increase the risk of melanoma, the most deadly form of the disease. Also, experts believe that people spend more time in the sun than they would, because they think they are protected. Another, less severe but still important concern is that the sun-screen lotions inhibit the body?s ability to produce vitamin D. Many cases of vitamin D deficiencies are attributed to over use of the lotions.

Other things to watch out for are fragrances. What?s wrong with smelling nice? Nothing, but use a dab of perfume instead of a scented antiaging skin care dry lotion that you rub all over your face and body. The term fragrance can be used on a label instead of the 4000 different chemicals that are used to create the scent. Most of them are toxic and some cause cancer.

Plus, smells have an irritating effect on your throat and sinuses. They affect the central nervous systems and can cause depression, hyperactivity or simply irritation. The nose is very sensitive and there is no reason to use an antiaging skin care dry lotion that will irritate it. There are safe all-natural products available that are actually more effective. Take the time to look for one and always read the label.

The Latest Anti aging skin care treatments to maintain your Youth

Friday, November 28th, 2008

Any anti aging skin care treatment plan must take several factors into account. What causes us to have wrinkles is not truly our age. If you look at parts of your body that are normally covered, you will see that the skin looks more youthful. Our faces, though, are always exposed to the elements.

The sun, the air and pollutants in the environment have a detrimental affect on our faces. Most of us take a daily vitamin to counter the effects of oxidation and free radicals on the cells of our body, but until recently, no one thought to use something extra to protect the cells that are most often exposed.

The latest thing for anti aging skin care treatment is a combination of natural creams that combat the affects of oxidation and free radicals. Until now, most products attempted to replace collagen, elastin or hyaluronic acid. These things cannot truly be replaced. But, we can support our body?s natural ability to produce them.

Researchers have known for years that the protein keratin plays an important role in maintaining and replacing skin cells. So, you will see many products on the market that contain keratin. The problem is that they extract it from animal hooves, horns, feathers and other by products. The result is no longer natural and cannot be absorbed by the human body.

A New Zealand company has found a way to extract keratin from sheep?s wool. The wool they select to use comes from farmers with trusted protocols to insure quality. The process that they use for extraction is patented and is being called a breakthrough in anti aging skin care treatment.

You see, since the keratin is not ?de-naturalized? it is readily available for use by skin cells. They call their product ?Functional Keratin?. You will not see the ingredient in the big name brands. Eventually it may trickle over, but right now, it is only available in one anti aging skin care treatment that is manufactured in New Zealand.

Just to recap, keratin is a protein used by the body to create, replace and repair skin cells. Applying this new keratin to the face has a rejuvenation effect. Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced. Firmness and elasticity returns. Tones are more even. Complexion looks creamier. That sounds like enough, but it?s not the only new breakthrough in anti aging skin care treatment.

As we mentioned above, it is oxidative stress that contributes to older looking skin. Protecting the skin with antioxidants is a new idea. Preventing the loss of hyaluronic acid by inhibiting the enzymes that break it down is another new idea. Until now, companies have only thought to try to ?replace? the acid, not prevent it from being destroyed.

Researchers have learned that an antioxidant derived from Japanese sea algae inhibits the enzyme that normally depletes hyaluronic acid in skin cells. They have also learned that other nutrients can counter the harmful affects that the sun has had throughout your lifetime. Currently only one anti aging skin care treatment contains all of these special nutrients. It?s worth your time to learn more about it.
