Help for Wrinkles

by Sheryl Armstrong

Wrinkles are actually caused by changes that take place in the dermis, which is the lower layer of skin. The fact that this layer is underneath the epidermis means that skin care ingredients need to be able to penetrate deeper in order to affect the dermis which is responsible for wrinkles. The problem is: many of these skin care ingredients are not able to penetrate beyond the epidermis (top layer of skin) to affect the dermis.

The factors that contribute to wrinkles are: diet and nutrition, muscle

tone, stress, habitual facial expressions, environmental pollutants, habits such as smoking, heredity, sun exposure, and lack of proper skin care. Most of these factors are under our control with the exception of heredity.

Skin care is one of those factors that are under our control. The daily use of proper cleanser, toner, anti-aging serum, and moisturizer for our skin type is essential. Products that can help stop the loss of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid will aid in the prevention of

wrinkles. Elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid are components of skin that decrease with skin inflammation and age.

Choosing products that contain ingredients that can actually penetrate to the dermis and help stimulate the skin to make its own elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid can have a positive affect on wrinkles. These ingredients include: retinoids, vitamin C, and copper peptide.
