You’ve probably heard this a million times, but I’m going to say it one more time…ignore advertising hype.

In order to find the best anti-aging skin creams, you have to ignore the hype.  Additionally, just because a celebrity endorses an anti-aging skin cream does not mean that he or she really uses it.  That celebrity is being paid for their work and the product they promote is more expensive as a result.

Avoid Designer Names

Designer names are another thing to avoid if you really want the best anti-aging skin creams.  Listen to this piece of interesting information.  In order to be even slightly competitive, the manufacturer has to reduce the number of active ingredients in order to cover the licensing fees for the designer name.  That makes me wonder…do you really think fashion designers know anything about anti-aging skin cream?  Probably not, because…

Skincare is Healthcare, Not Cosmetics

Cosmetic companies might like for you to believe otherwise, but skincare is a healthcare topic.  The most effective ingredients have been evaluated by dermatologists and other doctors.  Evaluation is done by these professionals because there are many diseases and health issues that affect the appearance of your skin’s outermost layers; as well as the health and function of your deepest layers.

The things that cause you to look older on the outside can also be caused from the inside.  Oxidative stress, free radical damage, allergic reactions, irritation, inflammation, nutrition, and general poor health are just some of the things that affect your appearance.  So, what to do?

Speed Up Your Body’s Natural Processes

When you are young, your body’s ability to repair itself is truly amazing; as some of us have once experienced.  Yet, due to illness, poor nutrition, or age, your body’s ability to repair itself slows down.  This is true throughout your entire body.  When you see the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, and uneven pigmentation, the processes that have slowed down include skin-cell, collagen, and elastin fiber production.

The best anti-aging skin creams address all of these issues by speeding those processes up once again.  But, in order to accomplish that feat, certain ingredients must be included in your anti-aging skin cream.

Functional Keratin

Probably the most important compound you can look for is a protein peptide known as Functional Keratin.  Keratin is a protein that is found naturally throughout your body and it is one that makes up your skin’s matrix.

Functional Keratin was created through a patented process.  It can penetrate deeply and be effectively used by your cells on a molecular level.  Clinical research has shown that when included in an anti-aging skin cream, keratin increases skin cell proliferation and firmness.

Only the very best anti-aging skin creams contain Functional Keratin.  The big named over-the-counter brands and designer cosmetics do not contain this ingredient; mainly because it is too expensive to produce.  Other products ordered directly from the manufacturer, with lower overhead, typically have the freedom to spend the time and money to include necessary, healthy, and effective ingredients.

Wakame Kelp Extract

An extract from Wakame kelp has been proven to prevent the breakdown of an amino acid named hyaluronic acid.  Hyaluronic acid is another necessary protein that makes up your skin’s fibers.  In young people, hyaluronic levels are high and at a healthy level.  In older people, they are much lower.

Moisturizers and Antioxidants

If you can find an anti-aging skin cream that contains both Functional Keratin and Wakame, then you will have found a pretty effective product.  Yet, if you can find one that contains those two ingredients plus plant oils and waxes for moisturizing, and antioxidants to prevent free radical damage, then it will be really effective.

The added benefit of proper moisturizers and antioxidants is this.  Dry skin is easily damaged and looks older.  The average moisturizer is not composed of plant oils and waxes, but instead is petrolatum.  Petrolatum actually inhibits the skin’s reparation process.  And antioxidants will prevent the oxidative stress that leads to wrinkles and free radical damage that can cause skin cancer. 

The Full Package

The best anti-aging skin creams will contain HE Q10, which is a combination of the antioxidants COQ10 and vitamin E.  In addition, the cream will contain grape seed oil and Babassu wax (moisturizers), Functional Keratin (proteins), and Wakame extract (protein breakdown inhibitor).  And always, as a rule of thumb, look for a manufacturer that guarantees safe products and customer satisfaction.  Believe me, guaranteeing a product with customer satisfaction says a lot about a manufacturer.

Eddie Lamb asked:


Today more and more people are looking into antiaging techniques. This is not because people now are starting to look older faster nor is it that people just didn’t care about their looks in the past. The reason is simply that people today are living longer and longer. Since so many more people are living to an old age, more people have found interest in antiaging techniques.

Staying Healthy through Exercise

One smart and easy way to accomplish antiaging is to stay fit. Many people may joke about the show, “Sit and Be Fit”, but even such simple movements everyday can add on years to your life. Some favorite exercises that don’t put too much stress on your body include walking, water aerobics, jazzercise, some cycling, yoga, and stretching. By keeping your body in motion you can cleanse your system, stay strong, and you’ll find that exercise causes you to have a more positive attitude. All three of these things are necessary for the antiaging process.

Eating Right

Another way to achieve antiaging is to eat healthy. When you supply your body with the right food, you are able to build up your immune system, keep a hold on your cholesterol, keep your weight down (causing your self-esteem to go up), and much more. Whereas through filling your body with fatty foods and other non-nutritive substances, you can become depressed, gain excess weight, have heart problems, etc.

The best way to achieve antiaging through eating right is to eat based on a food pyramid. Looking online you can find different food pyramids based on your age, activity, etc. You may also find that you need to supplement with certain vitamins and minerals that you aren’t getting enough of.

Antiaging Products

Aside from keeping your body healthy, you can also try different antiaging products to help your skin look more youthful. There are lots of different creams and lotions that work great. Some of these can be pretty expensive, so look online for some antiaging products that have a good reputation, yet are affordable.

If money isn’t too much of an issue, you may also consider antiaging treatments. This can be done through visiting a place that does special facials or getting some laser treatment done. Of course, there is always plastic surgery.

Before getting any antiaging treatment done, I highly recommend that you read up on it more. Some types of antiaging treatment don’t work on all skin types and can have side effects. Once you feel you know enough about the treatment that you like, check out prices online.

Antiaging for a Youthful Look

There are many great ways to accomplish antiaging. Even if you choose to use antiaging lotions or creams or even have some antiaging treatment carried out, make sure that you continue to eat healthy and exercise. The right food and consistent exercise not only work as antiaging for your appearance, but they also help you to have a youthful attitude and outlook on life.

Do We Have Enough Information On Antiaging?

There are many foods that promote anti-ageing; there are many exercises that will keep your body in top shape no matter what age you are; there are many meditation grounds, which can keep your mind, focused until you glow from within. However, there is no accurate information as to what combination is the right anti-ageing path. Nonetheless, people are still searching, hoping that someday, they will stumble upon the secret information on antiaging and they will enjoy it.

There are billions of dollars spent on research on de-coding the DNA and genes sequence as well as their significance. It seems each cell in the body is born with a fixed, inbuilt clock. When the time runs out in that cell, the clock stops, and the cell dies away. For youths, when a cell dies, another is born and hence, the balance is maintained. However, in old age, too many cells die without replacement, hence, the skin is wrinkled, and body slows down considerably.

Only when our scientist will find out what prevents the cells from regenerating, and how to maintain their constant regeneration process, you can say that you have the ‘right’ information on antiaging – keep searching!
