Skin care has come a long way in recent years.
The best anti wrinkle products no longer involve botox injections and they certainly aren't chemical based skin creams.
It may have been true years ago that natural products weren't as effective as some claimed, but not anymore.
There are some amazing ingredients out there that really do cause wrinkles to recede.
Anti wrinkle skin care has to be about life style as well.
Using a sun screen, keeping yourself hydrated (not just occasionally but as a life style) and eating properly all go a long way towards keeping the wrinkles down.
But there are also natural skin care products that target the aging of your skin - including wrinkles - with laser like precision and used properly, will restore skin health, reduce signs of aging and dramatically reduce wrinkles.
The secret to their effectiveness is that they provide the skin itself with the ingredients it needs to do the job.
Collagen and elastin are the two most important proteins giving the skin it's texture, strength and flexibility.
When we're young we have all kinds of these proteins and that's the biggest reason our skin doesn't sag and wrinkles don't form.
As we get older, we produce less and less of these proteins and so skin starts to sag.
It doesn't bounce back to its original shape anymore and wrinkles start to form.
The best anti wrinkle products work to help the skin produce collagen and elastin The importance of collagen and elastin has long been understood, but the challenge has been getting it back into the skin.
You can't just take a cream with these two ingredients and rub it on because they can't be absorbed topically - the molecules are two large and the skin cannot absorb it.
Some companies claim their creams are the best anti wrinkle products because they contain collagen and elastin - don't be fooled.
The secret, is to give the skin something that helps it boost its own production of these proteins.
In the last couple of years, science has given us a natural ingredient trade marked as cynergy TK.
It's a natural keratin protein (the most common in skin) but because of the unique way this stuff is produced, it retains all the natural nutrients your skin craves to get stronger.
(Most keratins are produced through a hydrolization process that basically cooks off many of these nutrients).
Cynergy TK is clinically proven to help skin boost collagen and elastin production, so it's actually repairing itself.
It also has a unique light refracting quality which goes a long way in making wrinkled skin look smooth when it's applied.
Phytessence wakame is another ingredient now just being realized as essential to the best anti wrinkle products.
Or at least, realized by the west - the Japanese have known about it for hundreds of years and it has been a core component in the natural skin treatments they've developed (have you noticed how Japanese woman age?).
Of course, there are other ingredients.
Natural moisturizing oils and a natural anti oxidant enzyme are also key.
I've listed some of these at my web site.
It really is possible to get rid of most wrinkles and at least dramatically reduce all of them.
But if you don't find these ingredients, you aren't using the best anti wrinkle products and you probably won't be seeing these results.
