Anti-aging products for skin care
Anti-aging products for skin care remind me of the song ’18 till I die’. Indeed, anti aging skin care products are very popular today; and why not, who doesn’t want to look young for ever?
Talking of anti aging skin care products, the first thing that comes to mind is Vitamin C based anti aging skin care products. These products work by enabling the synthesis of collagen (a structural protein that is found in skin). This category of anti aging skin care products is related to anti-oxidants. Anti-aging products for skin care that are based on Vitamin C are, however, posed with the danger of getting oxidised themselves (as they come into contact with air during their usage). So some anti aging skin care products are based on the derivatives of vitamin C, which are more stable and less expensive. However, the effectiveness of such anti aging skin care is not as much as it is for Vitamin C based ant aging skin care products.
In addition to vitamin C, Vitamin E and lipoic acid are also antioxidants. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant found in human blood that helps to increase resistance to infections. Vitamin E is also known to inhibit cancer. Liponic acid is known to very effectively combat the signs of aging by reversing the damage of the skin caused by the aging process.
Phytochemicals are another category of anti-aging skincare products. Phytochemicals are special chemicals extracted from plants. There are a variety of phytochemicals that are used today. Phytochemicals prevent the occurrence of cancers of certain types; these include prostate cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer. That's why they find their place in anti-aging products for skin care.
Some B vitamins, such as vitamins B5, B6 and B12, are also used for anti-aging products for skin care.
The field of anti-aging products for skin care is vast and requires a lot of research. Although currently available products are effective, they still face challenges. Hopefully these challenges will be resolved in a timely manner and will contribute to the optimization and reduction of anti-aging skin care products.
