How Do You Decide On The Best Facial Skin Care Products?

By Peter Albertonich

You're getting older and you're noticing your skin isn't as healthy as it once was, and you're starting to think more about facial skin care.

Thats aging. Thats why your mother seemed to worry about her skin more as she got older, and looked for a solution to better facial skin care.

As you age your skin starts to lose some of it's essential skin proteins and skin properties.

With aging comes a loss of skin elasticity, and it's elasticity that helps keep your skin firm and supple.

If you pull a fold of skin on a child and let go it snaps back into place. If you try that on an older woman it's doesn't quite snap any more.

Losing elasticity means your skin is losing it's ability to keep itself strong, so you start noticing lines and wrinkles and skin sagging.

One of the major factors in aging skin is the loss of collagen and elastin. Youve probably heard of collagen and elastin, 2 essential skin proteins. And youll see collagen and elastin listed on the labels of so many facial skin care products.

So if you want to get the best facial skin care you need to do something to keep your skin healthier, and to help replace lost collagen and elastin.

Lets look at how you do that:

1. Keep healthier skin.

There are some major lifestyle factors that contribute to poor skin health, including "photoaging". That's excessive sun exposure.

Avoid excessive sun exposure, especially in summer. Sun strips out natural skin oils, but even worse is sunburn. Just terrible for your skin.

Smoking affects your blood circulation and is terrible for your skin. Don't smoke if you want great looking skin.

And there's even more lifestyle factors that affect your skin, like good healthy diet, plenty of sleep and less stress. Believe it or not these help promote good skin too.

And exercise too, more exercise is always good for skin by promoting blood circulation.

2. Replace that collagen and elastin lost with age.

This is the most important goal for a good facial skin care system, but sadly most facial skin care systems don't do this at all.

Did you notice last time you bought a bottle of skin care product that there were collagen and elastin listed on the label? Well if there's collagen and elastin in the bottles they have to get into your skin, right?

Wrong.

It's been common science for some time that collagen and elastin have molecules that are too big to enter the skin, so if you put them on top of the skin that's where they stay.

So why in the world would they put collagen and elastin in the bottles. Aren't they just wasting money? Not at all because when consumers see collagen and elastin listed they buy the bottles. It's marketing.

So what do you do? You can't replace lost elastin and collagen by putting them in the bottle, and it's important to replace them.

You stimulate the skin to start producing more of its own collagen and elastin.

Is this possible? Yes absolutely it is, though there are very few products that do it. But there is one small niche skin care company that has perfected a way to stimulate the skin to produce it's own proteins, and they've brought out a new facial skin care line that does just that.

How? By using new patented ingredient that actually helps the skin to produce more of its own proteins. Theres no collagen or elastin in the bottles.

And studies have shown visible result beginning within a month. Pretty impressive.
