If you wish to eliminate wrinkles, what type of process would you feel is the most helpful? Often, people will look towards cosmetic surgery procedures as a cure.
Common cosmetic methods for dealing with wrinkles include laser treatments and dermabrasion.
While helpful, such processes are expensive and, in many cases, require an extended period of healing.
There also exist the possibility of pain and permanent scarring with these procedures.
That's why, in my view, it would be much better to use anti-wrinkle creams containing collagen and elastin.
Such products, if they contain the proper ingredients, stimulate collagen in the body and thus can counter the presence of wrinkles.
In order to understand how age defying creams work, one needs to understand what these ingredients are, what they do, and what happens to the skin when they are absent.
Collagen - Collagen is one of the most important components in the skin.
It is due to collagen that our exterior is able to maintain a healthy, youthful appearance.
Specifically, collagen is a natural protein that creates the support needed for the skin to retain its texture and shape.
The human body regularly produces collagen until the natural aging process slows production down.
As a result, the skin loses much of its youthful, natural appearance.
This is why a product that stimulates collagen can be quite helpful to our appearance.
Elastin - Found within the connective tissue that creates elasticity, elastin allows the skin to return to its normal form after stretching.
This is why when you raise your eyebrows and lines are created, they go away when you lower your brow.
Conversely, when there is very little elastin in the body, this ability for the skin to reshape is dramatically diminished.
While a product that helps with collagen production is important, one that stimulates elastin is helpful as well.
The consistent use of the right product will allow the skin to slowly start to reshape and reform into its original and natural appearance.
When this happens, the youthful appearance one may have lost slowly returns.
The operative word is slowly.
It would be incredibly unrealistic to assume that a few topical applications will eliminate wrinkles overnight.
However, regular application of these creams will stimulate collagen and elastin production to where the benefits will reveal themselves over time.
And, yes, the results can be quite pronounced.
