I just found this video that explains far better than I can why using skin care products that include collagen are a waste of time. What you need are products that contain ingredients that encourage your body to produce extra collagen itself, such as Xtend-TK and CO Q10.

There are many ways to clear wrinkles from your face. Cosmetic surgery may be the answer for some, but the procedures are costly and there can be complications. BOTOX? injections are a less expensive way to clear wrinkles from your forehead, but they are not cheap. And the cure is only temporary so you have to repeat the treatment at regular intervals. In addition the treatment can result in unwelcome side effects including headaches, nausea and respiratory infections.
But is it really possible to clear wrinkles using natural skin care products? You may have tried various creams and lotions and been disappointed with the results. The key to a skin care product that will produce visible and long lasting results is its ingredients. Scientific research has shown that Xtend-TK and Coenzyme Q10 are substances that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin which are proteins in our skin that keeps it looking firm and smooth. So if you want to clear wrinkles the natural way, look out for these ingredients in your skin care products.

Finding the best moisturizers for dry skin can be a problem if you rely on the adverts in magazines or on TV. Advertising is expensive and products that are heavily promoted tend to have a pricetag that reflects that cost. To keep their costs down some companies will use cheaper synthetic ingredients and some of these ingredients such as alcohols can cause irritation for people with dry skin.
The best moisturizers for dry skin use natural ingredients which are kind to your skin and have no harmful side effects. One example is Maracuja
which is extracted from passion fruit. Maracuja is rich in linolenic acid which acts to nourish and revitalize your skin and also prevents it from
becoming too dry. Other ingredients that have been mentioned in previous posts are Babassu and Xtend-TK. So look out for these ingredients if you want to find the best moisturizers for dry skin.

To understand why collagen stimulation is important you need to know what collagen is and the effect it has on the condition of our skin.
Collagen is a protein that keeps our skin firm and smooth. This protein is produced naturally by our bodies, but as we age the production of collagen starts to decline. As a result our skin begins to lose its firm tone and lines and wrinkles start to appear.
Certain substances encourage collagen stimulation and as the amount of collagen increases so the firm skin tone that we enjoyed in our twenties begins to return. Two natural substances that are responsible for collagen stimulation are Xtend-TK and Phytessence Wakame.

A natural moisturizer is a product that uses natural ingredients. Many moisturizing creams and lotions contain chemicals such as mineral oils and alcohols which can do more harm than good. For instance alcohols such as ethanol or methanol can cause dryness and irritation which is the opposite of what you want from a moisturizer.
Creams that are made from natural ingredients will not have these adverse side effects and so are suitable for all skin types. Avocado oil acts as a particularly effective natural moisturizer and also a powerful anti oxidant which destroys free radicals.
Macadamia oil, Allantoin and Xtend-TK are other natural ingredients to look out for when you are choosing a natural moisturizer

Restoring elastin is quite simply the best way of retaining a firm and wrinkle-free complexion despite our advancing years. Elastin is one of two proteins, the other being collagen, which are responsible for keeping our skin looking smooth and supple. As we grow older our bodies produce less of these proteins and as a result our skin starts
to lose its firmness and lines begin to appear. So restoring elastin forms an important part of an anti aging skin care routine.
There are products which contain these proteins, but unfortunately they tend to be ineffective because collagen and elastin cannot be absorbed through the skin. However there is a way of restoring elastin and collagen using natural products. A substance known as Xtend-TK actually stimulates the production of collagen in your body. It has been proved in clinical trials to promote the regrowth of collagen and in restoring elastin leading to firmness and increased skin tone.

Let’s face it, if everyone knew the secrets of beautiful skin, we would all have the perfect complexion of our dreams. Or would we? Of course not. You see there is a difference between knowing the secrets of beautiful skin and applying that knowledge to achieve what we desire. Take a simple example – sunbathing. It’s no secret that the UV rays in sunlight are the major cause of damage to our skin. Spending too much time in the sun without adequate protection is the surest way to ending up looking like a wrinkly old prune. But sunbathing is a pleasureable activity and it’s all too easy to overlook the dangers when we are enjoying ourselves. So let’s not waste our time searching for the secrets of beautiful skin, but rather concentrate on practical steps like protection from the sun and eating a healthy and balanced diet.

Male age spots tend to occur in men over the age of 40. It is the same for the female of the species and there is no difference between men and
women in this respect. The cause of male age spots is well known and is none other than those ultraviolet rays from the sun which are the major
cause of damage to our skin. Our skin contains a pigment known as melanin and excessive exposure to the sun can cause this pigment to increase
which results in the appearance of these male age spots.
Can male age spots be removed? There are a number of treatments including skin sanding, freezing or the use of lasers all of which work by
removing the skin cells that make up the spot. A gentler solution is to use a moisturizing cream formulated for the purpose. Look for the ingredient
Extrapone Nutgrass which is plant extract that is particularly effective in reducing the melanin in our skin.

Skin hydration may not be something you think about very often, but we are all familiar with its opposite – dehydration. When we are dehydrated our bodies are suffering from a lack of liquids and this can have a dangerous effect on our health. For example our kidneys require large quantities of water to enable them to function correctly. What is not generally realised is that our skin is the largest organ in our bodies and when it becomes dehydrated the result is dry and peeling skin. So skin hydration is important if we wish to retain a smooth and healthy skin.
