Answering your questions about anti wrinkle skin creams.

How sure are you that you know enough about anti wrinkle skin creams and wrinkle care in general to make the correct decisions when it comes to the treatment of these creases? What influences your decisions when buying skin cream? Do you act on the recommendation of friends, perhaps just get the latest product being advertised on TV or do you do some research on the internet?

We’ll be answering some important questions about anti wrinkle products in this article, in particular their ingredients. You will know exactly what to look for and what to purchase after reading this article. Let’s get right into it.

Question: Exactly what is collagen?

It is an important protein, in particular for your skin. Along with another protein called elastin, it provides your skin with strength and elasticity. As less and less of these proteins are produced as you age, your skin will be more prone to wrinkle.

Question: My skin cream claims to contain collagen, will this help?

No. While there are numerous products on the market that boasts about containing collagen, the truth is that collagen cannot penetrate your skin when applied topically. Not only is collagen useless when applied to the skin topically, but to make matters worse most skin creams use a form derived from cattle and bird sources.

Question: So how do I supplement collagen?

The simple answer is you don’t. Instead of supplementing, you should help the skin to produce more by itself. Certain ingredients found in top quality natural anti wrinkle skin creams can do that. One such ingredient is Cynergy TK, found in certain natural skin care lines, like the one I use personally.

Question: What about hyaluronic acid. Can it provide anti wrinkle benefits?

Yes it can. One of the great benefits of hyaluronic acid (HA) for the skin is that it helps the skin to retain its natural moisture, which can make it look more “plump” and hence reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Question: Where do I get HA?

It’s already in your body and skin, but its levels decrease with age. It can be taken topically, but an even better way to raise your levels of HA naturally is to fight the enzymes that attack it and to use antioxidants to counter free radical damage.

A substance called Phytessence Wakame, derived from a Japanese sea kelp, has been proven to inhibit some of the enzymes that attack HA, naturally raising its levels. Furthermore, Phytessense Wakame also provides plenty of minerals, vitamins and antioxidants.

Question: I’ve heard about Q10. Can it help my wrinkles disappear?

Absolutely. Coenzyme Q10, which is also known as CoQ10 or just Q10, is found in every cell in the body and is of particular benefit to the skin. It is known for being a wonderful antioxidant and it also plays a big role in stimulating cell activity, thereby renewing your skin from with. Preferably you should look for Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10, a special nano-emulsion form of CoQ10 that can penetrate deeper into your skin for even more dramatic benefits.
