The Best Way to Help Prevent Wrinkles
It has been believed that in order to help prevent wrinkles on your face, you should stay away from the direct sunlight. Most people and dermatologist would agree. Yes, there may be a grain of truth in there somewhere.
It isnt the sun, per se, that causes a wrinkle to form, it is UV rays penetrating the skins layers and exciting free radical molecules. Even that wouldnt be a problem if enough antioxidants were present to neutralize the radicals. So, one of the best ways to help prevent wrinkles is to use an antioxidant rich cream.
That sounds simple enough, but the molecules of the antioxidants in our daily multi-vitamins are too large to penetrate the skins epidermis. Thats the outer layer. Collagen fibers, which are responsible for the skins strength and elasticity, are in the dermis layer, thats about five layers deep. Those fibers are damaged by free radical molecules, too and that is the layer where some of the most deadly forms of skin cancer occur.
So, in order to prevent face wrinkles and help protect against skin cancer, we need creams that contain antioxidants that are small enough to penetrate through seven layers of skin. The only compound that is proven to do that is called Nanolipobelle HE Q10. It contains a combination of the antioxidants coenzyme Q10 and natural vitamin E.
Many experts recommend that the best way to prevent face wrinkles is to be sure that the makeup or moisturizer that you use contains sunscreen. There is a huge controversy surrounding this recommendation. Some of the sun-screening compounds penetrate the skins layers and cause free radical damage. Oxybenzone, benzophenone and avobenzone are examples of sunscreens that cause damage to the cells DNA that can cause the formation of a cancer cell. They dont even do a really good job of scattering UV radiation, so they dont help prevent wrinkles or skin cancer.
The compound that you should look for in a sun screen products is the zinc oxide. This is the only proven compound that can help prevent face wrinkles and screen the skin from direct effects of sunlight and UV radiation. But not all products contain zinc oxide. Only the cosmetic make-ups contain this.
Mineral oil and petrolatum will not help prevent face wrinkles. Yet, they are some of the most common ingredients in creams and lotions. To help prevent wrinkles, you need something more than the average moisturizer contains.
The face should be applied with a moisturizer that can really help prevent wrinkles. The face does not need cleansers that can remove dirt but also remove oil from the face. Oil is very essential to keep the skin moisturized but too much oil and too less oil will also generate negative effects.
The best moisturizers contain plant-based oils and protein extracted from sheeps wool. These ingredients are readily absorbed by the skins layers and they help prevent wrinkles. The protein stimulates the production of new cells and increases firmness. The plant based oils are very similar to those secreted by the human body.
