Anti-aging creams and anti-aging lotions can protect the
skin from harmful effects of the environment. Many of the
most effective ones contain vitamins, minerals, and other
nutrients to promote healthy skin that is smooth and young
looking.
Selenium is a mineral believed to function as a cancer
preventative. Whether taken as a part of the diet
(whole-grain cereals, seafood, garlic, eggs) or as a
component of an anti-aging cream, it protects the skin from
sun damage.
Copper, when combined with Vitamin C and zinc, is valuable
in the production of elastin. Deterioration of the elastin
found naturally in the skin causes wrinkles. The diet is
rarely deficient in copper, but topical application of the
mineral in an anti-aging cream form results in healthy skin
with both elasticity and firmness.
Zinc can be found in oysters, lean meat, and poultry. It
can be taken orally or used as a topical lotion to cure
acne and control oil production.
Alpha-Lipoic Acid is a very powerful antioxidant.
Anti-aging products make good use of Alpha-Lipoic Acid
because it is unique in that it is able to penetrate both
oil and water, unlike most of the other antioxidants that
can perform only one process or the other. It is able to
repair skin DNA, reducing the risk of skin cancer and
promoting healthy skin. Finally, this powerful compound is
able to repair damage caused by environmental factors such
as smoke and pollution. Alpha-Lipoic Acid is available in
supplement form as well as in topical creams.
DMAE is another powerful antioxidant. Free radicals are
unable to harm skin cells when plenty of DMAE is present.
Damage from sunlight and cigarette smoke is unable to
penetrate the membrane surrounding cells if there is
adequate DMAE. Age spots are also unable to form when
there is plenty of DMAE, which is available both in
supplement or topical cream.
Hyaluronic Acid is a nutrient that is not readily available
in the food we eat ' it is produced by the body itself.
The skin looks smooth because of the ability of Hyaluronic
Acid to hold up to a thousand times its weight in water.
Anti-aging creams make use of this nutrient to create a
younger looking healthy skin.
EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) are necessary to produce the
skin's natural oil barrier. Without this barrier the skin
may be dry, inflamed and/or troubled with whiteheads and
blackheads. EFAs are found in the diet in many foods such
as baked goods, poultry, cooking oil, safflower oil,
cold-water fish and flaxseed. It is possible to get
additional EFAs by consuming Evening Primrose Oil or Fish
Oil Capsules.
