If you are to be successful in maintaining or restoring firmness and elasticity in the skin, then an advanced skin care treatment is in order. What this means is that the anti aging formula you are using must contain ingredients clinically proven to address the issues which cause wrinkles and skin slackening. Most anti aging formulas don't feature such ingredients, and will not help you in your cause.
There are very few cosmetic companies that want to go through the trouble and expense of researching what is effective for firming and smoothing the skin. It has long been known by scientists that antioxidants significantly slow aging by reversing the damaging effects of oxidation. Antioxidants are only present in great quantities in natural compounds, so it would make sense for a company to provide you with all natural products.
The question then becomes, since the cosmetic companies understand that natural ingredients are necessary for repairing the free radical damage that causes many of our wrinkles to form, why aren't they providing us with these compounds.
Most anti aging formulas are far from being any form of advanced skin care treatment, and there is a simple reason why that is.
All natural ingredients are not the most cost effective ingredients available, due in part to the processing that must be done in order to ensure all of the ingredients used maintain the properties for which they were chosen. A cosmetic company that is more concerned with profit than quality and effectiveness will often bypass using all natural compounds in their formulas. This saves them a great deal of money on processing.
No product that is developed primarily from synthetic compounds can be defined as an advanced skin care treatment. Synthetic compounds offer very little in the way of antioxidants, and are therefore relatively useless in helping a person reach his or her skin care goals. There is also nothing synthetic that can promote greater collagen production, or prevent significant losses in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
There are many natural compounds that stimulate greater tissue production, including active Manuka honey, avocado oil, and coenzyme Q10.
Coenzyme Q10 actually promotes increases in the creation of both collagen and elastin, but only works well if it is in a special molecularly reduced form.
The most effective form of coenzyme Q10 firming and smoothing your skin is Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10.
In addition to Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10, a truly advanced skin care treatment will contain a mixture of zinc and copper keratin protein complexes blended with enzymes called Xtend TK.
This ingredient is also proven to significantly improve tissue production.
As for slowing the degradation of your firming skin tissues and polymers you have grape seed oil and Phytessence Wakame kelp extract, which control the behavior of enzymes responsible for the destruction of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
An advanced skin care treatment provides you with the ingredients you need in order to be successful. If you want to achieve firmer, smoother skin, then I suggest that you look for products featuring some of the all natural ingredients I've described.
They are the answer you seek in your quest for younger looking skin.
