You see, young, firm, skin is the result of healthy levels of collagen and elastin produced in our skin cells. These two structural proteins provide our skin with natural moisture, firmness, smoothness, elasticity and even-tone.
The proof of these two substances in action is right under your shirt. Just look at the skin on your stomach, directly below your chest. I'm willing to bet that this area is smooth and firm, and doesn't have any lines and wrinkles.
Why is there such a difference between the skin in this area and your face? Because this part of your body is usually protected by clothing. Your skin cells are safe from the damage caused by UV sunlight. Their cell function remains healthy and they just keep on doing what they were designed to do...manufacturing lots of collagen and elastin.
Your face, however, lacks this protection. Therefore, you cells become damaged, collagen and elastin diminishes, and you develop aging of the face.
So, in order to get an anti aging you just have to get your natural collagen and elastin production back up and running again. With the right type of protection and support you can stop aging of the face.
Keep sunlight off your face as much as possible. When you go outdoors, be sure to shade yourself with a brimmed hat, or parasol. I avoid sunscreens because they are full of risky, synthetic chemicals. Remember, the goal here is to heal damaged skin cells. Synthetic chemicals have NO healing properties and may, in fact, be harmful.
Next, treat and support healthy cell function with healing nutrients contained in natural extracts. Extracts from Nature are similar in structure to human skin. Therefore, they can easily penetrate and reach your underlying cell area to deliver healing, stimulating nutrients that get collagen and elastin production back up and running again.
Some of the more potent extracts include natural vitamin E, Co Enzyme Q10, shea butter, Japanese sea algae (phytessence wakame), sheep wool extract (Cynergy TK), active Manuka honey, and Maracuja extract. No only do these ingredients promote collagen and elastin production, but they also contain the vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids your skin needs.
I should point out, however, that these special delivery systems won't be found at your favorite drug or department store. All you will find there are the same old, ineffective, chemically-laden wrinkle creams. I located some of the best anti aging face creams with some simple online research. If you know what to look for, it doesn't take long to find what you need.
