A Simple Guide to Anti Aging Skin Care

  • July 17, 2010 at 1:25 pm



Let’s face it, anti aging skin care becomes more and more of a concern as the years roll by. With age the perfect complexion that we took for granted in our twenties begins to fade and lines and wrinkles begin to appear. This is the time when we rely on an anti aging skin cream to restore our youthful appearance.

With so many skin care products on the market it’s difficult to know where to start. The shops are full of different brands some of which are advertised in magazines and on TV and others are own brand products. But how do you know which anti aging skin cream will work for you? Which brand will produce visible and lasting results?

A good place to start is the list of ingredients on the label attached to the tube or jar. When you know what to look for this will tell you how effective the product is likely to be. The main reason why our skin starts to sag and develop lines is that as we grow older the proteins collagen and elastin begin to break down. So ingredients that promote the growth of these two proteins are what you want to see when choosing an anti aging skin cream.

Three ingredients that you should look out for are Phytessence Wakame, Cynergy TK and Coenzyme Q10. Each of these in different ways stimulate the growth of collagen which improves the skin’s firmness and elasticity. But you should be aware that including collagen in the skin cream is ineffective since collagen cannot be absorbed by the skin.

This might seem incredible, but some skin care products contain ingredients that can actually cause harm to your skin with prolonged application. Mineral oil, also known as paraffin wax, a common ingredient of skin creams, clogs the pores and interferes with the skin’s natural ability to eliminate toxins. Dioxane, a synthetic derivative of coconut and a common skin cream ingredient is a known carcinogenic. The very fragrance that attracts you to a particular anti aging skin cream could be created from ingredients that are either toxic, or worse, carcinogenic. Parabens of various types are a preservative used in anti aging skin care products to increase shelf life. Studies have shown that they can cause cancer and result in allergic reactions and skin rashes.

Not only is it essential to know the ingredients that go into an anti aging skin care product, but it is equally important to make sure that even the good, active ingredients are used in sufficient quantity. Because of the high cost of these substances some manufacturers will include a minute amount just so that it can be shown on the list of ingredients.

Hopefully this brief survey of anti aging skin care products will help you in making a more informed choice when shopping for anti aging skin cream.

Cynergy TK – Liquid Skin For Optimum Skin Care

  • July 13, 2010 at 8:09 pm



Ever heard of keratin? If you’re interested in serious skin care you should know about keratin, and what a new form of keratin called Cynergy TK can do for your skin. Cynergy TK is the modern way of adding keratin to anti aging and skin care products so that it actually does something useful for your skin.

But isn’t there keratin in my regular skincare products I hear you say? Keratin is in lots of anti aging products, so what does Cynergy TK do that they don’t?

Yes there is keratin in many skin care and anti-aging products, but Cynergy TK is a form of keratin that is far more useful to your skin than the keratin you’re getting in your skin care products now.

Keratin is an extremely strong protein found right throughout the body, but in particular in your skin, as well as your nails, hair and some other parts of your body. It helps make your skin more elastic and pliable, and to combat wrinkles and sagging in your skin.

As you age your skin loses some keratin, and this contributes to the aging of the skin and the aging signs like wrinkles and fine lines around your face and eyes. Loss of keratin is not the only cause, but certainly one of the biggies.

Traditional big brand name anti aging skin care products have keratin in them, so they have to be good right? Wrong.

As keratin is found in parts of your body like hair and skin and nails, and as it is also found in the hooves and horns of animals, the big brand companies source their keratin from the hooves and horns of animals. The keratin is extracted by using heat and acid, and this changes the form of the keratin. It has, in effect, been de-naturalized by a process called “hydrolyzation”, and as the form of the keratin is changed it’s usefulness to the skin is also changed.

Cynergy TK is also a source of keratin, but the manufacturer of Cynergy TK extracts the keratin in an entirely different way. The keratin is taken from the wool of sheep, and is extracted by a process that doesn’t involve heat or acid. In fact the process of extracting the keratin is so advanced that it has been patented. Keratin extracted this way if fully biologically available to your skin.

The result is what’s called “functional keratin” and the effects on skin are amazing. It is extremely similar to the protein found in human skin.

Functional keratin in Cynergy TK is like a “liquid skin”. It is so effective that it actually gets collagen and elastin to start regrowing. Collagen and elastin are very important components of your skin, and your skin starts to lose collagen and elastin as you age. So if Cyntergy TK starts the collagen and elastin growing again your skin is winning!

And Cynergy Tk also contains a number of other components, all very useful to your skin. These include zinc and copper proteins which assist in increasing the thickness of the skin, and reducing lines and wrinkles. The regrowth of collagen and elastin also assist with reducing wrinkling.

So if you haven’t heard about keratin before, you have now. It’s extremely important to skin health, and skin regeneration. Traditionally extracted keratin isn’t available to your skin due to it’s extraction with heat and acid, but functional keratin found in Cynergy TK is, because of the revolutionary patented process of extracting it.

Will you find Cynergy TK in your big brand name skin care and anti aging products? No. It’s too expensive.

Which company uses Cynergy TK in their skin care products? I’ll bet you’ve never even heard of them, but they make the worlds best skin care products.

Fighting with wrinkles seems to be the most difficult task for women today. Be it Asia or America, wrinkles are common everywhere. Of course, there is no shortage of skin care products which are meant for treating wrinkles. But do those products really work?

When you enter a cosmetic shop, you find it difficult to choose an anti-wrinkle cream from among hundreds of wrinkle creams kept on the shelves. Skin-care experts are in demand today, thanks to the growing problems of wrinkles in every nook and corner of the world.

Every anti-wrinkle cream looks good when it is on the shelf of a cosmetic store. But once you purchase it and apply it on your skin for a few days, you become frustrated finding out that there are no changes in your skin. Looking sexy is the right of every woman- young or old.

Is there a solution to the problem of wrinkles? There are countless “Anti Aging Cream Reviews” available on the World Wide Web which can prove to be of some help when it comes to choosing the right skin care product. Of course, there are some reviews which are a total waste. However, there are hundreds of good ones too.

What are wrinkle cream reviews? Women all over the world use skin care products. Those who use anti-wrinkle products have a fairly good knowledge about the effectiveness of wrinkle creams. Such women and many other skin care experts write articles and post them on the Internet.

Those articles which review a particular anti-wrinkle product form a part of “Anti Aging Cream Reviews”. What causes wrinkles? Our skin needs two types of proteins for remaining young and flawless. “Elastin” and “Collagen” are the names of the proteins which are synthesized in our body.

However, as we grow old, our body fails to produce these two proteins. As a result of this, wrinkles start appearing on our faces. So a good anti aging skin care product must have those ingredients which can supply “Elastin” and “Collagen” to our skin. Moreover, a good anti-wrinkle cream is one which does not harm our skin.

Anti Aging Cream Reviews serve as one of the best sources for knowing the truth about wrinkle creams. Do not get impressed easily just by watching movie stars endorse popular wrinkle creams. Your skin is different from others. That is why a wrinkle cream which suits others might not suit you at all.

Anti Aging Skin Care: "Pharmaceutical" Cosmetics

  • July 12, 2009 at 7:48 am



Have you ever heard the new buzz term “cosmeceuticals”? This nifty term refers to the fusion of two areas, one which cultivates necessary medications which control our bodily processes internally, and the other, which manipulates our body from the outside, cosmetically improving our appearance.

You guessed it, the first is “pharmaceuticals” and the second is “cosmetics”. The joining of these two fields, both extremely lucrative, and arguably necessary, is called “cosmeceuticals”, and this exciting new breed is causing a stir in the beauty community lately.

Although they have been united in this new genre of cosmetics, the two are very different when it comes to government and advisory board regulation. Pharmaceuticals, at least in the US currently, are heavily regulated by the organization known as the FDA, while cosmetics are not government regulated.

Why? Cosmetics are not regulated by any government agency because they are not considered a device that alters bodily chemistry of function internally in any way, nor are they advertised as substances that change the chemistry of the body.

Currently, cosmetics manufacturers are walking on eggshells to keep this paritcular pharmaceutical and cosmetic distinction in tact, as precious dollars could be lost if the new breed of cosmeceuticals were government regulated.

Even if a wrinkle cream currently marketed had the ability to actually “get rid of wrinkles”, cosmetic marketers are very careful to still note that they only decrease or eliminate the “appearance” of aging and wrinkles, since this still technically is not pharmaceutical in nature.

Some of these new cosmeceuticals which feature high grade vitamins and various proteins and peptides actually do “get rid of wrinkles” and remove signs of aging though, although they still are careful to avoid this overzealous marketing for fear of FDA regulation.

Cosmetic companies specializing in anti aging have come up with everything from potent vitamin extracts, to skin tightening complexes with antioxidants, restructuring aids like peptides and other skin cell regenerators, and a host of other interesting sounding ingredients that keep popping up as the latest in age reversal and age prevention.

And which of these latest “cosmeceutical grade” anti aging and wrinkle creams is best? Well, it’s hard to say, because there are now quite a few in competition with one another that do contain ingredients that are beneficial in different ways.

If you’re looking for a fresher and brighter look, with more cell turnover, you may turn to a formula with acids such as alpha hydroxy and other fruit derived acids, or one loaded with antioxidants.

If you’re looking for more of a quick fix, skin tightening formula, you may choose a formula with ingredients like copper, hyaluronic acid and DMAE, which is a substance that is found naturally in the skin of certain fish and is excellent for almost instantaneous firming and toning.

Either way you slice it, women have the best options for anti aging and wrinkle fighting in the here and now, than they ever had in the past.

The best part is, it only stands to get better, with the constant development of new anti aging products. As long as the cosmetics companies keep responding to increasing consumer demand for anti aging aids, we will have consistent upgrades in cosmeceutical offerings.

The downside? Some of it can become a bit pricey, but remember, a little usually goes a long way, so you may actually be going through the “expensive” stuff at a fraction of the speed you would go through a cheaper, lighter formula. And who can put a price on looking and feeling young? Call me vain, shallow, or narcissistic, but I’ll pay the extra money, as long as I get serious results!
