Essential Anti Aging Ingredients to look for when you are shopping.
1. Amino Acids
They are found in protein and act as “messengers” between the outer and inner layers of skin to initiate the healing process and repair the skin. Different amino peptides have different uses: (Metrixyl and Argireline) help reduce dark circles under the eyes while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Antioxidants
Antioxidants are naturally created in plants and animals but not humans. Vitamin C will neutralize free radicals while stimulating collagen and protecting the skin from sun damage. Applying vitamins and antioxidants will smooth, hydrate, and firm skin.
3. Retinol
Retinol is a derivitive of vitamin A that acts to nourish keratinocytes (is what makes up most of the outer layer of skin). It helps to thicken skin, produce collagen, improve skin tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
4. Alpha Hydroxy Acids
AHAs are another example of acids that are produced in plants and milk. They are like glycolic, lactic and polyhydroxy fruit acids that make big differences in removing dead skin cells. Ridding the skin of dead skin cells is exfoliating and exfoliating your skin is important for its rejuvenation.
5. Growth Factors
Growth factors (sometimes referred to GFs) are naturally created within the body to stimulate cell growth. Cell growth is the ultimate goal. GFs trigger rejuvenation and healing by creating new collagen, new elastic tissues, and new blood vessel formation. That means less lines and wrinkles for you.
6. Olive Leaf Extracts
Olive leaf extract is another antioxidant has been around for a long time. The extracts contain anti-bacterial, anti- inflammatory, and anti itching agents. Skin inflammation can hinder the skin from healing and repairing. Olive tree extracts will speed up that process.
7. SunScreen
