Anti Aging Skin Care Treatments - Reality Or Illusion ?

Anti Aging Skin Care Treatments - Reality Or Illusion ?

Can Anti Aging Skin Care Products, Really Turn Back The Clock? A quick look at the marketing presentations for the elite, big name skin care companies would have you believe that their anti aging skin care treatments turn back the hands of time and make you look “years younger”.

SMOKE AND MIRRORS?

No matter where you look in the anti aging industry you can see similar claims being proudly highlighted for all kinds of miraculous ‘fountain of youth’ type products. Of course what we consumers really want to know is:

DO THEY ACTUALLY WORK? 

Any of them? Or is it all just make believe - smoke and mirrors  - snake oil? Well, the truth be told it’s part reality and part illusion! Let me break it down for you.

For the majority of anti aging skin care skin treatments these claims are just pure fantasy (as any of us aging baby boomer’s know all to well). A careful examination of the majority of skincare formulas reveal that the pitifully small concentrations of the key active ingredients means there’s no way they could duplicate proven results from clinical research and studies.

Most of them do make your skin feel great and look decisively better just after you’ve applied them BUT what about when you wash them off or don’t apply them? The reality is that the saggy skin, blemishes, fine lines and hardcore wrinkles are still there unchanged!


These ridiculously small concentrations barely qualify the active ingredients as active ingredients!


Notice I said “majority” of products? There are some chemical free, anti aging skin care products out there with the formulas and necessary levels of leading key actives to truly help with firming up your skin and structurally reducing fine lines and blemishes.

It’s also true however that you must be a realist in accepting that there are limitations to what even the most effective products can do by themselves. The reality is you need more than just a ‘one track’ topical skincare approach in your anti aging efforts. A comprehensive, three part, ‘inside-out’ anti aging skin care system is what you need to produce the most effective results.

Naturally, you want to know which anti aging skin care treatments will work the best. That will require you to understand what causes your skin to age. So, let’s get straight to it. There are 3 fundamental causes of skin aging and any anti aging skin care treatments whose formula does not contain ingredients which address ALL THREE (for starters) is not worth your attention and definitely not worth your money.

1. The actions of free radicals

2. Reducing levels of hyaluronic acid

3. Loss of collagen and elastin

These are the culprits that cause your wrinkles, blemishes, saggy dull skin, and all the other superficial signs of aging! The key to understand here is that these three causes are interrelated and unless you address all of them at the same time you will not be successful with your anti aging program. That’s why an effective anti aging skin care cream MUST have an ingredient base which can tackle all three! Read Cause og Free Redicals.
