Anti-Aging Skincare: How To Stop the Clock... Naturally
When you fork over your hard-earned dollars for that pricey skin cream, you're putting your money where your hopes are. Well, the cream is from a big well-known cosmetics company and was formulated by scientists in a high tech lab and has all kind of fancy ingredients you can't even pronounce in it, so it should work. Shouldn't it?
Sadly, no. The truth is that most anti-aging skincare formulas are formulated to conceal your wrinkles, not eliminate them. You may see a temporary smoothness after using some solutions, but frequently it is because of the use of astringents that cause tissue to contract, making the skin look smoother. The look only lasts a few hours. If was a quick fix, not a cure.
To reverse the oxidative damage to your cells (i.e., signs of aging), you need natural compounds. These are what will provide you with the antioxidants needed to repair the damage of aging. Unfortunately, the amounts of antioxidants in synthetic compounds are frequently too small.
I know what you're going to say: But the cosmetic companies do have natural formulas now. What I'm going to say is: Read the label. Most commercially made cosmetics contain either synthetic versions of natural compounds or contain natural ingredients in very, very small amounts. And those natural ingredients are not fresh - they've been sitting in a jar - and so they will not be at the peak of potency.
The real solution for you and your skin is making your own cosmetics. When you use fresh, natural, organic ingredients, you never have to question what you're putting on your skin. And you don't have to question if the ingredients will work: Just check out the recent media reports. The natural ingredients you'll be using - many of which you probably already have in your kitchen - possess the healing and nourishing properties that lead to healthy skin and long-lasting beauty.
So do a little research. You'll find many easy recipes for natural cosmetics, many of which you can gear to your own complexion issues. You'll know that you're doing something good - and effective - for your skin, and you'll save your money.
