Skincare Ingredients That Keep You Young
Jennifer Anniston and Christie Brinkley are just two of the many
celebrities that seem to have found the Fountain of Youth. While there
are definitely genetics involved in their youthful looks, these stars
also rely on some key skincare ingredients to achieve their ageless
looks. Here are some of the top skincare ingredients that will help
keep you looking young:
Retinol
If you are serious about turning back
time, you should know about retinol. Retinol is a form of vitamin A
that reduces fine lines and wrinkles, by promoting the production of
collagen and helping even out the skin’s pigmentation. While many
products claim that you will see results within days, don’t be
disappointed if it takes weeks until you see a noticeable difference.
Retinol is an impressive anti-aging ingredient, but that doesn’t mean
that you will see results overnight. For speedier results, consider
investing in a hydrating mask containing diamond powder and vitamin A to get the best anti-aging effects.
Peptides
Perhaps an unsung hero of anti-aging
ingredients includes short chains of amino acids called peptides.
Peptides are the building blocks of proteins and help promote the
production of collagen, which makes up 75 percent of skin
and gives the skin its elasticity. Peptide creams and serums help
rebuild lost collagen, and two of the most important peptides for
skincare include Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7.
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide helps stimulate collagen production in cells,
while Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 helps reduce inflammation.
Hydroquinone
This skincare ingredient helps you turn
back time by inhibiting the skin’s production of an enzyme that is
responsible for producing melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives
your skin its color and many turn to this ingredient to help them
eliminate brown discoloration of the skin.
