Antiaging Skincare ProductsWhen it comes to antiaging skincare products you want to be sure the products you’re purchasing contain ingredients that are beneficial to the health of your skin. Why? Because it’s a medically known fact that your body absorbs significant amounts of what you put on your skin. The skin is the largest organ of the body and has three layers:
The dermis is the thickest of the skin layers and comprises a tight, sturdy mesh of collagen and elastin fibres. Both collagen and elastin are critically important skin proteins; collagen is responsible for the structural support and elastin for the resilience or elasticity of the skin. The dermis is also where wrinkles develop when the skin’s structural support network of collagen and elastin fibres begin to break down. Typical collagen and elastin creams never reach the dermis because collagen and elastin molecules are too large to penetrate the epidermis.
Everyone wants to slow down the effects of aging so they look good at any age, but what if in your quest to prevent aging you unknowingly purchase antiaging skincare products containing synthetic chemicals that are detrimental to your health and wellbeing? Unfortunately this is the case for many people who get caught up in the advertising hype, believing the products being marketed are safe and will do what they promise. Purchasing a product containing synthetic chemicals that may pose serious health threats just doesn't make sense. There's no point in defying age if in the process your health suffers. So in your quest to find the best antiaging skin care products don’t forget to check the ingredient label to make sure the products contain beneficial ingredients that are pure, natural and most importantly, safe. To get you started, here's a comparison between the list of ingredients for a typical "off the shelf" moisturiser that is made up of a number of synthetic ingredients against the potent, bio-active, chemical free, 100% beneficial ingredients found in a typical certified organic moisturiser.
► Cocoamidopropyl Hydroxysultanet ► Triethanolamine (TEA) ► Methylchloroisothiazolinone ► Phenoxyethanol ► Methylparaben (organic preservative) ► FD&C Yellow No.6 ► Fragrance Most of the ingredients in this list read like a chemistry lesson, so how safe are they? And do you really want to add to your body's chemical overload by putting more chemicals on your skin and into your body? Choosing antiaging skincare products that are pure, potent and natural is a great alternative, so now let’s compare the ingredient list of a typical certified organic moisturizer.
► Purified water ► Rosehip seed oil ► Organic jojoba seed oil ► Organic sunflower seed oil ► Organic shea fruit butter ► Organic sugar-cane ethanol ► Non-gmo lecithin ► Organic bitter orange extract ► Organic lavender essential oil ► Organic olive juice extract ► Xanthan natural gum ► Olive leaf extract ► Organic calendula extract ► Organic chamomile extract ► Organic marshmallow extract ► Organic olive extract ► Organic St. John's Wort extract The above ingredients are completely natural and organic, just the way nature intended with no chemical process so it is not only beneficial to the skin and body, it is completely safe. This moisturizer contains chemical free, antioxidant rich beneficial ingredients to truly feed, nourish and nurture your skin.
The best antiaging skin care products should feed, nourish and nurture your skin with completely safe and natural ingredients that are truly beneficial to the skin without harming your health in the process. Here are just a few. Aloe Vera: Healing, soothing, antibacterial and moisturising properties to relieve burning and itching with recent studies indicating it has the ability to accelerate cell (basal keratinocyte) growth in the skin. Calendula: Soothes, heals and restores and contains high amounts of flavonoids, antioxidants that protect the body against cell-damaging free radicals. Chamomile: Soothing effects on sensitive and irritated skin, eczema and dermatitis and is also calming and relaxing. Lavender: Anti-inflammatory and healing for the relief of eczema and psoriasis and has many other healing benefits for the skin such as minor wounds and burns. Marshmallow: Softens, revitalises, emollient that has been used since ancient times to soothe and heal the skin. It is said to control oily skin and soothe allergic skin reactions. Olive Leaf: Repairs, tones and firms. Extracts are now marketed as antioxidant antiaging because of its powerful antioxidant effects. Bioassays support its antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory effects at a laboratory level. A liquid extract made directly from fresh olive leaves recently gained international attention when it was shown to have an antioxidant capacity almost double green tea extract and 400% higher than Vitamin C. (Dr Stevenson, L,. et al. Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) Report on Olive Leaf Australia's Olive Leaf Extracts, Southern Cross University, 2005.) St John’s Wort: Moisturises, astringent, refreshes, tones. Soothing and anti-inflammatory, it’s used for sensitive skin, skin irritation and eczema as well as a skin tightener.
So what are the best antiaging skin care products? I’ll let you be the judge, but for me it's a no-brainer. Pure, potent, certified organic ingredients that feed, nurture and nourish the skin, to me, are the best antiaging skin care products. In my opinion, they win hands down over other products on the market that contain synthetic chemicals which may cause serious health problems. As well as natural and organic products being the smart choice for your health and skin fitness, they’re great for the environment too.
