A Healthy Radiant Skin

How to Solve Ugly Old Looking Wrinkles  

In this article, you will learn how to solve the problem that causes ugly old  looking wrinkles by addressing each of those causes. Some of which is the skin's hyaluronic acid content, free radical damage and something called Xtend-TK.

·         Dry Skin 

What to do about dry skin is to use a good moisturizer on a regular basis.  A moisturizer can take the place of sebum, if it is similar to sebum on a molecular level.  Grape seed oil and Shea butter are examples of moisturizing ingredients that are very similar to sebum. 

·         Sun Exposure 

The best thing to do is to protect your face from the sun by wearing a hat with a wide brim.  Certain moisturizing ingredients will help prevent sun damage.  Wakame kelp is an example.  But, when you expect to spend the day at the beach or more than 20 minutes outdoors, you should use a zinc oxide sunscreen on your face.  Other sunscreen ingredients are less effective and could cause free radical damage. 

·         Poor Nutrition 

The simplest solution to poor nutrition is supplementation.  One supplement you might consider is an antioxidant and fish oil blend.  The fish oil provides essential fatty acids, reduces inflammation and has antioxidant activity.  Antioxidants like the lycopene found in the tomato have proven benefits for protecting the skin from UV damage 

·         Decreased Collagen Production and Skin Cell Turnover 

Certain anti-aging ingredients have proven to be effective for stimulating collagen production.  Xtend-TK is one of them.  It is a formula containing the protein keratin.  It also stimulates the production of new skin cells.  Some of the better nighttime moisturizers contain avocado extract, which has been shown to increase the skin’s collagen content.  For under-eye issues, polypeptides called HALOXYL and EYELISS are the best choices.  They are found in some of the best under-eye serums. 

·         Low Levels of Hyaluronic Acid 

You cannot increase the skin’s hyaluronic acid content by applying hyaluronic acid, despite what some cosmetic companies say.  You can increase the skin’s hyaluronic acid content by using a cream containing wakame kelp extracts.  Wakame has been shown to inhibit enzymatic activity that would normally break down hyaluronic acid.  As a result, the skin’s content starts to rise gradually and your appearance will improve. 

·         AGEs 

There are two things to do about AGEs.  

ü  First, reduce the amount of simple carbohydrates in your diet.  

ü  Second, take a dietary supplement containing carnosine.  The nutrient prevents the molecules from forming. 

ü  Inflammation 

Antioxidants help to reduce free radical damage, which in turn helps to reduce inflammation.  Antioxidants can be applied topically.  There are also some cosmetic ingredients with anti-inflammatory activity.  Xtend-TK is one of them. 

ü  Toxins 

You should try to avoid toxins whenever possible, but everybody is exposed  to some degree of toxins in the environment.  Our best defense against toxins is antioxidants.  Many of the ingredients already mentioned have antioxidant activity.  But one of the most potent, in terms of reversing free radical damage is coenzyme Q10. 

Only a few brands of anti-aging skincare products contain ingredients that address the causes of aging.  Only one brand contains Xtend-TK.
