Welcome! Everyone wants healthy beautiful skin. No one wants to look older than they feel. Cosmetic manufacturers have capitalized on these desires to create a multi-billion dollar industry. They lead people to believe that their products are the solution to looking great for life.
Truth is. . . there are effective solutions that will help you look your best, no matter your age. They just aren't the ones you see advertised on billboards. They don't have a designer label. Anti-wrinkle creams alone account for a major portion of cosmetic industry sales. They are among the highest priced skincare products on the market. Some cost as much as $100 per ounce. It is natural to think that higher prices indicate higher quality. It is true that active ingredients are more expensive than inactive substances. But, some of the most expensive products on the market contain the lowest concentration of active ingredients. Without a laboratory and a chemistry degree, it can be difficult to figure out what is actually inside those bottles and tubes. The label of ingredients is the best source of honest information, but the chemical names of even the safest, most natural compounds are hard to decipher. The information provided here should make the selection process easier for you. You will learn about effective ingredients and popular ones that provide no benefits. If you choose the right products and use them on a regular basis, the benefits you will see include:
Consumers who have followed the advice provided on this website have been delighted with the results. Those who have used the process of trial and error have been frustrated. Some women have been left with permanent scars on their faces due to ingredients commonly found in popular anti-aging creams. Most simply find that the products do not live up to the advertising claims. What are some of the most popular ingredients? How effective are they? Which ingredients really work? You are about to learn the answers to those questions. What's Popular? According to a recent report, hyaluronic acid has become a popular ingredient for anti-aging creams, despite the fact that it provides no benefits when applied topically. The popularity of hyaluronic acid can be attributed to two things. One: Some of the professional injections for filling in wrinkles contain it. This is the same reason that collagen became such a popular ingredient in years past. What cosmetic companies hope you will not realize is that injecting these compounds into the skin's tissues
fattens them up, stretching out wrinkles. The molecules are too large to penetrate through the skin's outer layers.
So, there is zero benefit when they are applied to the skin's surface. Two: Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the skin. It helps to maintain the skin's moisture levels, plays a role in the production of new cells and holds the cells in the outer layers together, so that the surface feels firm and smooth. The amount of hyaluronic acid in older skin is less than it is in younger skin. The decrease is due primarily to increased activity of enzymes in the hyaluronidaise family. Apply a cream containing hyaluronic acid to the skin's surface and hyaluronidaise will simply break it down. It's basically a waste of money. What Really Works? Extracts from wakame kelp have been proven scientifically to inhibit the activity of hyaluronidaise. After just a few applications, the hyaluronic acid content of your skin will start to rise. Phytessence Wakame is the ingredient to look for. It is a special emulsification containing the active components of the kelp. What's Popular? It is actually hard to find a skincare product that does not contain a sunscreen. The compounds show up in places where they could not possibly provide any benefit. Cleansers and night creams are examples. The popularity of sunscreens can be attributed to two things. One: Sunburns increase a person's risk of skin cancer. There is no proof that the use of sunscreen reduces a person's risk of skin cancer. There is actually some proof on the other side of the equation. Researchers have seen an increased incidence of malignant melanoma (the most deadly form of skin cancer) among regular sunscreen users. They have not yet been able to explain why there is an increased risk. Pending further studies, the FDA and other consumer protection groups have suggested that the best form of protection is clothing. Wearing a hat and a shirt provides protection you can count on. Two: Sun damage leads to premature aging and wrinkles. This is true, but use of a sunscreen after the fact cannot reverse the damage or the wrinkles. What Really Works? Creams containing tiny particles of the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 have been shown to reverse wrinkles and sun damage by 30% after three months of use. The antioxidant works by reversing free radical damage, which is the major underlying cause of all of the visible signs of aging. The ingredient to look for is Nano-lipobelle HEQ10. It contains the nano-particles uses in clinical trials, as well as the specific concentration of coenzyme Q10 and natural vitamin E believed to be most beneficial. What's Popular? Collagen is less popular than it once was, but is still found in a great many anti-aging creams and lotions. The popularity of collagen can be attributed to its use in professional injections, as mentioned above and to the following facts. The skin's collagen levels decrease with age. This makes the skin more translucent, which increases the visibility of tiny blood vessels and the fluids they carry. The visible signs include redness or rosacea and dark circles under the eyes. It is not possible to increase the skin's collagen content by applying it topically. The body's production of collagen and elastin fibers decreases with age. The elastic fibers are largely responsible for the skin's firmness. The visible signs caused by decreased production of those fibers include sagging and wrinkles. Applying collagen to the skin's surface will not stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. What Really Works? Several nutritional formulas have proven to be beneficial for increasing the skin's collagen content or for stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers, including avocado extract and amino acid poly-peptides. The formula with the most proven results is Xtend-TK™. Xtend-TK™ is a formula containing the active form of the protein keratin. It has been shown to stimulate the production of new elastic fibers and new cells. The benefits seen in clinical studies include increased firmness and reduced wrinkles.
You may find low concentrations of wakame or COQ10 in many products. You will only find high concentrations of Phytessence wakame, Nano-lipobelle HEQ10 and Xtend-TK™ in the Xtendlife brand of anti-aging skincare products. Xtendlife products are not over-priced. They don't cost hundreds of dollars per ounce and they are not available in retail stores. You can learn more about the prices and the benefits of the products by clicking here.
