Instead of cosmetics, the new anti aging skin care products are more like nutritional substances. They give your body what it needs to build new collagen fibers, create new elastin, and grow new skin-cells.

First, you need to understand that your pores will absorb nearly anything that you rub into them. Second, understand that means the substance will eventually get into your bloodstream. So, if a skin care product contains something that is hazardous when ingested, you should not put it on your face or body.

Contrary to popular belief, preservatives are not necessary. Preservatives are only necessary when there is something lacking in the manufacturing process. When a skin care product is properly manufactured, there is no need to add preservatives, known as parabens.

If an ingredient falls under the category of "fragrance", it too should be avoided. There are over 4000 different synthetic chemicals that are used for scenting purposes and none of them belong in your skin care products or in your bloodstream. Sometimes the use of fragrance is misused. For example, mineral oils can go rancid if not properly manufactured and adding a scent is one way many attempt to hide that rancid odor.

It has been known for a long time that in order to repair cells and replace cells, your skin needs proteins, water, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Fortunately, recent discoveries have identified additional items within those categories that your skin needs to repair and replace cells. The first of these is Functional Keratin. An awesome anti aging skin care product line from New Zealand makes use of it; although, they call it Cynergy TK.

Keratin is one of the proteins needed to grow new cells and tissues. Some skin care products have tried to provide it in the past, but the form they used was not compatible with the human protein. Functional Keratin is so close to your own natural protein that your body cannot tell the difference.

Another ingredient that receives a lot of attention is Manuka honey. It was evaluated as in ingredient because of ancient folklore concerning its amazing health benefits. It turns out that the old stories were right. Manuka honey has antibacterial and antiseptic properties that do a great job at healing minor injuries. Manuka honey seems like a great choice for combating acne and for including in men's skin care products. Acne is frustrating and daily shaving can do so much damage and aging to your face.

Hyaluronic acid is another beneficial protein to include in an anti aging skin care product. Don't let the word "acid" in the name scare you. It is not acid and will not burn your face off. Hyaluronic acid is a protein present in your cells that acts to cushion and lubricate body tissue. It also acts like glue to hold collagen and elastin fibers together.

I love the useful anti aging discovery regarding Wakame. Wakame is a type of Japanese sea algae. Wakame prevents protein from breaking down during enzymatic processes. When the breakdown is prevented, proteins will start to naturally rise to levels similar to much younger people.

Nano-lipobelle is the first antioxidant designed particularly for protection and healing of the face and skin-layers. Oxygen actually corrodes things over time. Exposure to air and sun increases the production of free radicals which damage and mutate cells, eventually leading to cancer.

An anti aging skin care product that contains nano-lipobelle not only prevents damage by destroying free radicals, but also corrects some of the damage done over time.

So, when looking for a line of anti aging skin care products, look for paraben-free, fragrance-free products. Look for the product to include functional keratin or Cynergy TK, manuka honey, hyaluronic acid, wakame, and nano-lipobelle.
