As you get older your thoughts turn more and more to facial skin care. You start to see the lines and wrinkles forming, you start perhaps to see some dry skin. You start to notice that your skin just doesn't seem to look as good as it did in the past.
As you age that happens, that's why your mother got so interested in good facial skin care treatments.
As you age your skin loses skin health. More specifically your skin loses various skin properties that are common in youth but decline with age.
As you age your skin loses skin elasticity. That's what holds your skin in place and keeps it firm and supple.
If you pull a fold of skin on a child and let go it snaps back into place. If you try that on an older woman it's doesn't quite snap any more.
Loss of skin elasticity means that your skin loses some of its ability to keep itself smooth and strong. So wrinkles form. You get fine lines around your mouth and eyes. Your skin sags. You may notice this on your neck.
As you age your skin loses some of it's collagen and elastin, and for this reason you see collagen and elastin listed on the ingredients of some bottles of facial skin care products.
So one of the most important factors in a good facial skin care treatment is to replace lost collagen and elastin.
Lets look at how you do that:
1. You keep your skin healthier.
There are lifestyle factors that contribute to poor skin health. Excessive sun exposure, called "photoaging", is one of them.
The sun strips out natural oils from your skin. And it burns your skin. Sunburn is one of the worst things you can possibly do for your skin. You must avoid sunburn and excessive sun exposure. Don't become a hermit, but don't go out in the sun for long periods in the middle of the day in summer.
And just as bad for your skin is smoking. Just don't smoke. It affects your blood circulation and poor circulation is very bad for your skin.
And there's even more lifestyle factors that affect your skin, like good healthy diet, plenty of sleep and less stress. Believe it or not these help promote good skin too.
And get more exercise, exercise helps blood circulation which helps your skin.
2. Replacing lost Collagen and Elastin.
This is the most important goal for a good facial skin care system, but sadly most facial skin care systems don't do this at all.
Do you remember seeing collagen and elastin listed on the label of that last bottle of moisturizer that you purchased for instance? Well if there's collagen and elastin in the bottles then you've got to be getting it into your skin, right?
Wrong.
It's been common science for some time that collagen and elastin have molecules that are too big to enter the skin, so if you put them on top of the skin that's where they stay.
So why is there collagen and elastin in all those bottles of facial skin care products on the shelves? Because the skin care and anti aging companies aren't silly, they know if consumers see collagen and elastin listed on the label theyll buy the products. Its there to sell the products, not help your skin.
So what do you do? You can't replace lost elastin and collagen by putting them in the bottle, and it's important to replace them.
You produce a facial skin care line that stimulates the skin to produce more of it's own collagen and elastin.
Is this possible? Yes it is. You see there's a company that makes a fine facial skin care treatment range that does exactly that. It makes high quality natural skin care products that stimulate the skin to start producing more collagen and elastin.
How? They use a new patented ingredient in their natural skin care products that achieves exactly that. And there's no collagen and elastin in the bottles.
And studies have shown visible result beginning within a month. Pretty impressive.
So if you're interested in the best natural facial skin care products there's definitely an answer to combating aging skin. But it isn't in the bottles you see stacked on the shelves of your local department store.
