Look Younger with Natural Anti Aging Skin Care Products
By the Editor | June 5, 2010
There are many different techniques that can be used to tighten skin . This post looks at the effective compounds you can use in the comfort of your own home .
RIGIN
RIGIN is a complex composed of peptides, which are something like protein fragments . They have been shown in numerous studies to have an amazing anti-aging effect. When it comes to increasing the elasticity and firmness of skin , results have included a 40% increase in skin tightness on the neck and a 28% increase on the rest of the face. Best of all, it is a natural skin care ingredient.
Functional Keratin
Functional Keratin is a bioactive protein. That means it is a protein that the body can absorb and use. Proteins like collagen and elastin cannot be absorbed into the skin’s cells. So, they are not beneficial when applied topically .
Functional Keratin is molecularly small enough to be absorbed through the skin’s pores . One of the functions the protein performs is to absorb moisture and pull it into the cells . Dry skin is one of the most common causes of sagging and lost firmness.
After 18 days of daily use , Functional Keratin has been shown to improve the skin’s firmness, its moisture content and even its ability to retain moisture . It is actually solving the issue, rather than just covering it up, and it comes in moderately priced anti aging skin care products.
What Not To Use
Most of the over-the-counter products designed to tighten skin actually cause dryness . The skin feels tighter initially, because it is drier. It’s something like the way it feels after using a harsh cleanser.
Avoid alcohols like ethanol (a common ingredient), methanol and isopropyl . Plant-based alcohols are much better and are sometimes included as ingredients in anti wrinkle creams to aid in mixing or to prevent bacteria buildup.
Urea is one of the primary ingredients found in over-the-counter products. It has never been shown to be clinically effective . Most women don’t like the sound of using a component of urine on their faces.
Check for warning labels in order to avoid poisons, irritants, allergens and unproven ingredients. It is possible to find skin tightening solutions that are both safe and effective. The information above should help you do that.
