Skin and Antiaging
Skin, or more specifically, the antiaging aspect of it, has turned towards natural ingredients. The world that we live in constantly bombards us with things like smog, smoke, toxins, environmental chemicals, thousands of things that our great-grandparents didn’t have to worry about.
For natural moisturizing agents, skin antiaging and conditioning, look for Aloe Vera Gel and Citrus Aurantium to retain moisture and promote the production of new skin cells.
Glycosaminoglycans, Panthenol and Allantoin moisturize and strengthen the skin enhancing the appearance of the skin by helping to firm and tighten it.
Elastin and Collagen, proteins that diminish as we age, renew skin’s appearance and elasticity.
And you would have to have just arrived from another planet to not have heard about antioxidants. Think red, blue and purple: Acai, Acerola Cherry, Blueberry, Goji, Grapeskin Extract, Mangosteen, Noni, Pomegranate, Red Cabbage, Red Currant, Red Radish, and Raspberry. (Be watching for more in-depth information on each of these at a later date.)
But if you want your skin to benefit from these antioxidants, they must be applied to the skin! Sure, eating them is great for everything internal, but studies show that only about one percent of the antioxidants that you ingest will make it to your skin tissue, the outermost layer of your body.
