The Most important facts of an Anti aging skin care guide

By: Ray A. Rubio

Everyone seems to have an anti aging skin care guide these days. Use this. Eat that. Drink this. Buy, buy, buy... There are lots of facts out there. But, there are plenty of myths and misunderstandings.

The first tip in any anti aging skin care guide is to stay out of the sun or use sunscreen. The face is nearly always exposed. If you are older, you can literally see the difference by looking at an area of the body that is not normally exposed to the sun.

The problem here is that most people think that as long as they use a sunscreen with a high SPF rating, they are protected. The truth is that sunscreens only protect you from UVB rays, while UVA rays are the ones that alter pigmentation, damage DNA and cause the face to look older than the rest of the body.

A new idea, not seen in the average anti aging skin care guide, comes to us from researchers in New Zealand. They have found that we can use lotions containing coenzyme Q10 to protect ourselves from UVA rays, something the sunscreens cannot do. Don't misunderstand, you still need the sunscreen, but it's just not enough.

Another falsehood that you may read is that scrubbing, exfoliating and things like microdermabrasion are good. The truth is exactly the opposite. You should treat your face gently, kindly. It's sensitive.

Scrubbing removes protective oils. Exfoliating actually removes "live" as well as "dead" cells. An occasional cleansing mask is a better choice. Microdermabrasion is a waste of money. It has no lasting effects and can actually make your face look worse. Many people come away with redness, burns and rashes. A nourishing hydrating mask, on the other hand, leaves your skin feeling clean, smooth and radiant.

One of the biggest lies in the anti aging skin care guide that we looked at is this. Expensive products work best.

The expensive mass marketed brands do not contain better or more active ingredients. They cost more because the companies invest so much money in advertising and celebrity endorsements. The money would be better spent in researching and developing better products, but they would rather stick with what they have and sell it to more people.

So, you see all of these "new and improved" products on the home shopping network, when they actually contain nothing new and they haven't improved the product at all. There are new developments in the area, but you won't see them in the big name brands, at least not yet.

Whenever you read an anti aging skin care guide, look at the source. If it comes from a manufacturer, then they are probably trying to promote their products. Most of them do nothing more than hydrate. They do not "erase" wrinkles. They do not nourish the skin.

There are newer and more effective creams that do "reduce" fine lines and wrinkles. But you have to look for them. You will not find them on the aisle in Wal-mart. Hopefully, our anti aging skin care guide has informed you about what to look for and what to avoid.
