An anti-wrinkle treatment containing alpha hydroxy acid will increase your chances of sunburn. The Food & Drug Administration started requiring companies to label products containing them with that word of advice in 2002. However, most people never read these warning labels. The products go on to be sold and consumers suffer the consequences.
Sunburn doesn’t just cause temporary discomfort and redness that damages your visual aspect for a short time , it also adds to your chances of developing both wrinkles and skin cancer. It just does not make good sense to use anti wrinkle creams that could increase your risk of wrinkling, particularly because there are natural ingredients available that will prevent sun damaged skin.
I’m not talking about sunblock. While it may be necessary to use a zinc oxide or other full spectrum sunscreen occasionally, the value of using products containing sunscreen on a daily basis is questionable at best. It could genuinely be risky.
If one reads the latest news in the cosmetic industry, you know that researchers have seen ever increasing cases of vitamin D deficiency over the past few years. The cause, they conceive, is sunscreen containing cosmetic products. By blocking UV light, sunscreens also interfere with the body’s ability to synthesize vitamin D.
The best wrinkle treatment available today (once again, according to the researchers) is one that includes coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is one of the compounds mentioned above that helps protect against sun damage. Another is wakame kelp extract.
Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant found in each and every cell in your body. The amount present in cardiac tissue begins to decline at twenty years of age, which is why it is often suggested as a nutritional supplement for the heart.
The amount present in the skin is quickly depleted when exposed to the sun’s rays, which is why scientists began to speculate whether or not it could be used as an anti aging skin care treatment. The sun is often cited as one of the major causes of wrinkles although it is actually the free radical activity caused by it that is the problem.
Phytessence wakame contains a number of different anti-aging nutrients. If you want the best wrinkle treatment, look for one that contains it and COQ10.
