After browsing around the Internet for a while reading and catching up on anti aging articles by other authors, it dawned on me that there is a silent 'debate' going on as to what is 'natural' when it comes to natural anti aging products.
Many people tend to think natural is purely from natural foods such as honey, avocado, coconut oil etc..
Whereas some people think as natural is anything that can be done without surgery.
I'm actually a bit in the middle on this one for various reasons.
Yes of course using natural foods for anti aging and wrinkles can only be a good thing.
For a start they're certainly natural, are freely available and are cheap.
On the other hand, there are certain wrinkle creams and serums that have some pretty amazing ingredients in them that are safe and have been proven to work.
Some over-the-counter wrinkle creams even make use of vitamins in their ingredient mix.
Vitamin A, C & E are the most popular ones and are obviously good for the skin as they nourish the skin from the outside whereas when we take vitamins orally, they nourish us from the inside.
Take vitamin A for example, retinol is one of the most popular ingredients in wrinkle creams and retinol is in fact a form of vitamin A.
Retinol is an antioxidant and is said to be essential for healthy bones, vision and health.
Retinol helps to produce more collagen which in turn plumps out the skin which smooths out fine lines and wrinkles.
So if you are looking for a good anti wrinkle cream, then make sure it has retinol in it.
I hope I have given you a little insight into the use of vitamins in anti aging creams.
Natural anti aging doesn't just have to be based on putting avocado on your face as now you know that some creams do have natural ingredients in them too and I know from experience that retinol definitely works!
