Beauty is Not just Skin Deep.However Skin Care is Important.
by dai1952
People's preoccupation with anti-ageing skin car products
that claim to make you look younger, is not surprising when
most of us can expect to live longer and have fuller more
active lives. This group of products generally work by
enabling the synthesis of collagen, which is the main
protein of connective tissue in animals and the most
abundant protein in mammals. The protein, Collagen, is
related to groups of other Substances named Anti-Oxidants
which assist in helping the anti-ageing process.
Although the benefits of vitamin C (an anti-oxidant) are
well documented, it is still debated as to what our daily
amount should be. Skin care treatments that are based on
vitamin C, pose the problem of becoming oxidized themselves
as they come into contact with air during their usage.
Manufacturers are trying alternative skin care treatments to
vitamin C that do not have this oxidization problem or cost
as much to produce. These recent anti-oxidant products do
not perform as well as vitamin C, though other natural
compounds, vitamin E and lipoic acid can have the same
overall effect.
Our body uses vitamin E as an anti-oxidant and increases our
bodies natural defense against disease, which does include
many forms of cancer, and is a fat-soluble vitamin found in
our blood. On the other hand, lipoic acid or alpha-lipoic
acid is necessary for energy production which keeps us
alive; it is in every human cell and another function is to
repair skin damage caused by the normal ageing process.
Phytochemicals form the other category of anti-ageing skin
care products which are special chemicals that are extracted
from plants with a variety of that are used in skin care
today. Another benefit, like that of alpha-lipoic acid, is
their ability to reduce the prevalence of certain cancers
like prostate, colon and breast cancer.
Other vitamins from the B group, are also used in
anti-ageing skin care like vitamins B5, B6 and B12 for
example. The use of anti-ageing skin care products is a huge
scientific field to research and has far greater potential
than just producing goods that reduce the visible signs of
age.
A great deal about the ageing process has already been
learned and the products available today are already far
more advanced than ten years ago but there is still a long
way to go. The amount of research going on in this field
will undoubtedly bring results in time, hopefully bringing
down the cost of these anti-ageing skin care products in
addition to increasing their reliability.
Fortunately there are a number of natural anti-ageing
regimes that can be carried out that do not rely on science.
These are exercise activities, calm and restful sleep,
keeping to good eating habits and drastically lowering
stress from your life. - 15668
