If you want less wrinkles, there are a number of things that you can do throughout your life. But, if you have been neglectful over the years, don’t worry, there are still some things that you can do. Recent studies have shown that even sun damage can be corrected with topically applied nutrients. First, let’s look at some of the things that everyone should be doing to protect their skin’s health.
The sun has a huge impact on your future appearance, as sun worshipers from the 1980s are beginning to see now. Because of this, you hear screams to “wear sunscreen, wear sunscreen!” What they should be saying is sun-block and they should be specific about the ingredient to look for, because zinc oxide is the only sun-block that is proven safe and effective.
Many sunscreens are ineffective because they only inhibit a portion of the UV spectrum. Others have actually been shown to do the same kind of damage that UV radiation does. Wearing a sunscreen makes the user feel protected and as a result, he or she may spend too much time in the sun.
The best choice is to limit exposure to no more than 15 or 20 minutes per day. If you are enjoying a day at the beach, take breaks in the shade from time to time. Wear a big floppy hat and sunglasses. You’ll have less wrinkles in years to come, as a result.
Now, let’s look at the nutrients that have been shown to repair sun damage. One of them is the antioxidant coenzyme Q10. Studies have shown that after six weeks of topical use, the skin’s hydration improves and there is a decrease in roughness and wrinkling. If it helps sun-damaged skin, then COQ10 can help anyone have less wrinkles.
But, you can’t just go buy a supplement.
Crush it up. Mix it with some water and apply it to your face every day. COQ10 does not penetrate deeply unless it is properly formulated. Manufacturers are aware of this, but most do not make the effort that it takes to enhance absorption.
The solution that has been shown to penetrate most deeply is called HEQ10. It was formulated using nanotechnology and has been proven to penetrate through seven of the skin’s layers. That takes it into the dermis where the collagen fibers are located.
In order to have less wrinkles, the collagen fibers must be repaired, protected and stimulated to grow. HEQ10 takes care of repairing and protecting. Bioactive keratin stimulates the production of new cells and fibers. This improves thickness and firmness.
There are some excellent creams on the market that contain both HEQ10 and bioactive keratin. It may take a little effort to find them. Those ingredients are not yet available in the big name brands. The research is just coming out. It takes mass producers years to catch up with the latest technology.
The ingredients are available in products manufactured by some of the smaller, but better companies. They can help us have less wrinkles today and tomorrow.
