Wrinkle Free Skin Care
Author: R. Drysdale
Wrinkle free skin care should begin when we are small children, and it should
be based on a lifetime of protecting the skin from the sun. This is because the
majority of skin damage results from exposure to the UV rays in sunlight.
Virtually nobody takes this simple information seriously enough: we are too
preoccupied with getting that golden tan to worry about the effect it may be
having on our skin - an effect that will show up years later.

Though the sun is the major contributor to wrinkles, other factors do play a
part. These include exposure to wind and other environmental hazards, tobacco
smoking, and the simple passage of time. A sensible approach to
wrinkle free skin care
would focus on the application, throughout life, of skin lotions that provide
moisture and protection for the skin. When there is sun exposure, the lotion
should include a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher to
minimize the UV rays that penetrate skin cells. If sun damage is suspected, more
specific anti wrinkle skin care products should be used.
Wrinkles appear when the skin loses moisture, fat, and elasticity. Skin
damage involves the breakdown of elastin, a network of elastic fibers within
skin cells. Collagen, a protein in the skin also breaks down, and fat cells are
lost as the skin ages. Without these things, skin cells lose their plumpness and
fail to retain moisture. Without wrinkle free skin care, fine lines and shadows
begin to appear and, eventually, wrinkles form. Fortunately, there are anti
wrinkle skin care products available that can repair some of the skin damage and
reduce the wrinkles.
Historically, wrinkle free skin care was vital because the best that cosmetic
products could do was add some temporary moisture and cover up the damage. Anti
wrinkle skin care products today, however, can actually reverse some damage and
restore collagen and elastin to the skin. The most promising topical treatments
incorporate antioxidant vitamins and minerals that remove damaging free radicals
from skin cells: free radicals are known to contribute to both physical and
physiological aging by permanently damaging cell structure and function.
Other popular anti wrinkle skin care products include topical applications of
the hormone estrogen, and various masks and peels designed to remove outer
layers of skin and bring healthy new skin cells to the surface. In addition,
it's generally recognized that physical health has a profound effect on skin
health: a healthy diet, supplemented with a good vitamin and mineral
supplement - there are some formulated to have anti aging benefits - may
ultimately be the best wrinkle free skin care you can get. Combined with a good
high SPF sunscreen, of course.
