Many women suffer from sagging skin as they age

Sagging skin. It bedevils so many women as they age, and is one of the most unsightly signs of ageing skin. Let’s have a look at what causes sagging skin and consider if you have any options at treating it.

When you were in your teens your skin never sagged at all. It was elastic and supple and if you pinched and pulled a piece of it then it would snap back into place.

But when you were in your teens your skin was packed full of wonderful proteins called elastin and collagen. Both of these 2 important skin proteins are largely responsible for what is called skin elasticity.

Skin elasticity is what causes your skin to snap back into place when you pull, provided you’re in your teens, and lack of skin elasticity is what causes your skin to sag as you get older.

Because unfortunately as you get older the quantities of elastin and collagen in your skin start to decrease. The loss of these 2 important skin proteins is what leads to that sagging look, including fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin under the chin and more.

And it’s not just age that contributes to the loss of collagen and elastin. Lifestyle factors such as smoking also do, and smoking is probably one of the worst things you can do for your skin.

Sunburn, or what is more technically called photo ageing, in other words the effect of excess UV exposure on the skin over time, can also contribute heavily to loss of skin elasticity.

Some of these things you can change and some you cannot. Obviously you cannot reverse ageing. We all age. You can stop smoking and be more aware of the damaging effects of strong ultraviolet on your skin.

We all lose collagen and elastin as we age. But is there anything we can do about it?

If you’ve done any reading at all on good skin care you’ll come across advertisements for a massive range of products which advertise that they include collagen and elastin in the product.

The obvious inferential leap is that if you apply these products to your skin the collagen and elastin will work its way into your skin and replace any that is lost.

Unfortunately it has been known for a long time that the molecule sizes of collagen and elastin molecules are too large to penetrate the pores of your skin, and therefore they don’t.

(The obvious question here is why are they in the bottle? The answer is that they are in the bottle because it sells lots and lots of bottles.)

So does this mean that you cannot tighten sagging skin? Not necessarily. You see some very clever researchers have found that it’s quite possible to stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin itself.

Not only that but there are some excellent natural ingredients which can be found in the highest quality natural skin care products which actually help to do this.

One of these natural ingredients is actually sourced from the wool of sheep, and is called Cynergy TK. It helps promote the growth of collagen and elastin in the skin, thereby increasing skin elasticity and reducing the effects of sagging and wrinkles on the skin.

Not only that but there are some excellent nutritional supplements which help improve skin health overall, and many women do not even consider the advantages of taking targeted nutritional supplements for better skin health.

The best of these is high quality Omega3 essential fatty acid supplements. These help hydrate the skin with natural oils and help promote better skin health overall.

And if you combine quality Omega3 fats with high quality natural skin care products that help promote the increased growth of collagen and elastin in the skin you have a recipe for tackling skin sagging.

But there’s always one thing to remember. That’s your expectations. If you’re 60 then don’t expect to look 30 again. Whilst this skin routine will work to tighten sagging skin it won’t take 30 years off your face. Expect to look better, but not to look like a teenager. Read the rest of this entry

Do wrinkle creams work? And if so how do you find one that does work?

Wrinkles, and how to combat them, is a subject that attracts the attention of many women as they age. However for many women the question of how to find wrinkle creams that work is a question without an answer.

The anti aging skin care industry is a massive industry, worth billions of dollars every year. And like any industry that size there are plenty of players who produce ineffective products just to make a killing.

Unfortunately that probably applies to the majority of skin care and anti aging products out there. Women have got used to buying products and applying them to their skin more from a sense of hope than from any recognition of the results that they have achieved.

Even so, many women are beginning to realise that many of the wrinkle creams out there don’t work, and even worse contain a range of chemical and petrochemical ingredients that may damage their skin.

All of this damages the confidence of consumers, and gradually they begin to come to the conclusion that wrinkle creams don’t work.

We know there are wrinkle creams that work, however convincing the consumer of this is often an uphill battle. They are so weary of spending large amounts of money on skin care products and anti wrinkle creams that don’t work that it becomes difficult to convince them that there really are wrinkle creams that work.

One of the biggest problems is a lack of accountability of the companies that make the products. If you purchased any normal product and it failed to work you would be entitled to a refund. Consumer protection laws protect you from companies that manufacture ineffective products.

However try getting your money back from one of the major skin care companies and you will have a huge fight on your hands.

For this reason the company that manufactures what we consider to be the worlds finest skin care products is proud to back up their products with a 90 day 100 percent money back guarantee. They recognise the fact that many consumers are so disillusioned with wrinkle creams that don’t work that it is difficult to get them to try a new product.

However by backing up the quality of their products with a full money back guarantee they are putting their money where their mouth is. If the products don’t work the company goes broke by offering a guarantee.

So to any woman searching for wrinkle creams that work we would say this. Whilst we know that there are excellent natural skin care products available which really do work please don’t take our word for it. Try the products for yourself safe in the knowledge that unlike when you purchased other skin care products with these products you have the protection of a 90 day 100 percent money back guarantee.

Because ultimately, when it comes to combating wrinkles, the only real way to find a wrinkle cream that works is to try it for yourself and see what results you achieve.

You may be pleasantly surprised to find that there are wrinkle creams that work.
