We
make attempts to hide those wrinkles from our face as if to show we are not
aging but are instead getting younger with time. But ever wondered what is it
about anti- wrinkle or anti-aging creams that helps us look younger? Probably
not, because it is our nature to emphasize more on the results than to see what
is going in to produce those results.
We
can sure be fit and healthy even as we age, if we exercise regularly and eat
healthy, but that might not help us look younger, for that we will have to go
for regular facials or use anti- aging creams.
Most
of the anti- aging creams sold in the market are products sold without any
prescription, they are cosmetics, not medicines. For this reason our Food and
Drug Administration does not subject them to equal amounts of scrutiny as
medicated items or drugs. These creams are only tested for any possible side
effects and not for their effectiveness, therefore there is no guarantee about
how genuine they are to the claims they make. We use them going by the
advertisements we see but that provides no surety about how much they will help
in anti- aging.
The
active ingredients in most of these anti- aging or anti wrinkle creams are the
following:
1.
Retinol- vitamin A compound, widely used
antioxidant in anti-aging creams.
2.Vitamin
C- this helps in de- tanning and prevents skin from harmful UV rays of the sun.
3.
Hydroxy acids- these are the exfoliants which help remove dead, old skin and
helps in growth of new and un- wrinkled skin
4.
Coenzyme Q10- this helps reduce fine lines, around eye area.
5.
Peptides- this was earlier used in medicines for healing wounds but is now an
active ingredient in anti- aging creams too.
6.
Tea extracts- the antioxidants in green tea greatly help in anti-aging and
green tea extracts thus form active ingredients of wrinkle creams.
7.
Niacinamide- A potent antioxidant related to vitamin B-3 (niacin). Helps in
reduction of water loss in facial skin and might also improve skin elasticity.
Apart
from using these anti- aging creams to hide wrinkles, we can also opt for skin
tightening face masks, but that gets limited for women who have ample of time
for doing it at home, which rarely happens these days, as even the house-wives
are engrossed in household work the whole day, and working women are almost
always short of time. Therefore these anti- aging creams are usually what works
for every one. Working as well as non working women.
