subject: Can You Keep Skin Healthy And Smooth, Safely And Effectively? [print this page] If you think that maintaining a healthy and smooth skin is an impossible job, then you've come to the right place. Here, I will change your belief and will tell you how to keep skin healthy and smooth.
But before telling you the secret of achieving a smooth and healthy skin, first I'm going to discuss why teenagers have smooth skin and the tendency of this feature to fade as we grow older.
During adolescence, our skin produces lots of collagen and elastin, skin proteins that contribute to maintain the skin's elasticity and firmness. However, the production of these proteins tends to decrease as we grow older, which resulted in the sagging and wrinkling of the skin.
Because we cannot reverse the effects of aging on our skin, what we will do is to find skin care products that can combat the problems linked to aging. However, don't be fooled by advertising campaigns promoting the effectiveness of commercial skin care products.
Some of these products have been found to use harmful ingredients that could harm our skin, instead of treating the problems.
One of the ingredients that you should be aware of is oxybenzone, a sunscreen agent, which is found to be linked to photoallergic reactions according to research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control.
Looking for alternative skin care products will be my advice to you. Specifically, I am encouraging you to look more closely on the labels of skin care products so that you will know that you are using safe products that will not compromise your health.
The information I will reveal below will aid you on how to keep skin healthy and smooth.
It concerns Phytessence Wakame, an antioxidant that is derived from Japanese sea algae and is found to contain minerals, such as iron, sodium, calcium and potassium, which maintain the moisture balance of the skin.
Additionally, this ingredient is capable of inhibiting the activity of hyalurodinase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down hyaluronic acid in the skin. If you're not familiar with hyaluronic acid, this acid also contributes to the maintenance of the smoothness and health of the skin, along with collagen and elastin, which I already discussed above.
Using skin care products that contain this active ingredient can be your answer on how to keep skin healthy and smooth. The good news is there are available natural skin care products that incorporate this ingredient, along with natural oils, in products to ensure that they will effectively address all your skin problems.
