Anti-age cosmetics: whether it saves skin from aging?

Captiously examining own face in a mirror, we with vigilance find the slightest changes specifying that process of aging began. Here it was designated almost inaudible rays of wrinkles at external corners of eyes, hardly noticeable vertical hyphens were shown over an upper lip, corners of lips slightly fell, giving to the face sad expression. And to what to rejoice here! Relentless flight of time already put the press on, apparently, person young still!

And here we remember anti-aging cosmetics! Yesterday to use it was still early, and now …? Can already late? It is very important to experience this moment when already not early and not late!

Best of all, of course, if you can consult with the good cosmetologist, too early application of anti-aging means and also their wrong choice can not improve a situation, and on the contrary do a lot of harm. The expert can objectively estimate a condition of your skin, to whom - that means of anti-age are required from 30 years, and someone and in 45 years has elastic young skin without visible changes and can quite manage the usual moisturizing creams or even house cosmetics. The expediency of application of the rejuvenating means is defined not by age, but a condition of skin. Young skin still itself produces the main amount of the substances supporting her youth and if to bring these substances in a large number with creams and masks, it is possible to break natural process of self-updating and there is a risk to grow old before term.

Why skin grows old?
Skin aging – process individual, it is influenced also by genetic factors (to a great extent), both a condition of internals, and a way of life, and environment ecology, and psychological state, and many other things.

The science divides process of aging of skin into hronobiologichesky which directly depends on age, and the photoageing arising under action on skin of ultraviolet rays. Of course, in real life the combination of signs and hronobiologichesky and photo aging is most often observed. All of us go under the sun!

Early and late, as a result of decrease of the activity of fibroblast, losses of elasticity, decrease in level of ekstrogenny saturation, deficiency of useful substances, appear on wrinkle skin – at first mimic, and then and obvisaniye wrinkles, skin becomes thinner, becomes pale and dry. If skin often tests a solar burn (unlimited suntan, work in the open air), then the aging picture slightly another – skin is thickened, becomes uneven, with rough deep wrinkles, pigmentary spots.

What can we oppose to skin aging?
Of course prevention! Daily care of skin, protection it from adverse factors, and, first of all, from ultraviolet rays, good nutrition, sufficient consumption of liquid, refusal of smoking and abuse of alcohol, a sufficient dream, an optimistic spirit, is, perhaps, the most important! Well, and as addition - good quality cosmetics.

What is concealed in a treasured jar
Modern cosmetics contain a set of the components, capable if not to prevent, then to detain for years of manifestation of many age changes of skin. Let's consider some of them:

• Antioxidants: Retinolum (vitamin A) and tocopherol (vitamin E) – promote binding of free radicals, normalize natural exchange processes in skin. Retinolum influences processes of regeneration in skin, skin cell fission, regulates activity of release of skin fat, products of melanin and synthesis of collagen.

• Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, an ascorbate) - antioxidant, an irreplaceable component in the course of production of collagen, clarifies skin.

• Very important element of modern cosmetics - coenzyme Q10, is developed by an organism and meets literally everywhere (in all bodies) what its second name "ubikhinon" (Latin of ubique – everywhere is connected with, everywhere). Today two main Q10 functions in live organisms are known. The first – it participates in power generation in any of our cages, the second – antioxidant, coenzyme Q10 the only fat-soluble antioxidant capable to be synthesized in a human body and animals and to be restored constantly from the oxidized form by means of enzymes. The Nobel Prize noted opening of a role of Q10 in a chain of transfer of electrons, i.e. its power forming function.

Antioxidant Q10 properties and vitamin E are actively used by an organism in a skin blanket – epidermis – for protection against the damaging action of ultraviolet and oxygen radicals. Together with vitamin E, Q10 prevents violations of structure of molecules of elastin and collagen. And they are skin "framework" which provides its elasticity. Besides, Q10 protects skin from loss of fatty acids and fat-soluble connections, prevents dryness of skin. What is very important, there are data of the researches confirming the fact that at a lack of Q10 and vitamin C (ascorbate), vitamin E begins to work incorrectly, stimulating oxidizing damage of cells of skin instead of to protect them.
It is also known that Q10 prevents "breakages" of genetic material which lead to synthesis of idle components of a cage. It is possible that in cells of skin this Q10 property is shown.

It is proved that local application of Q10 on skin of the person reduces depth of wrinkles, here only a problem, as always, in delivery of coenzyme to deep layers terms. Usually external means, even quality, mentions only the most superficial horny skin layers therefore it is recommended to combine external and internal use of medicines Q10.

• Peptides are the short segments from 3-5 amino acids which are formed at collagen destruction are active molecules which help to stimulate process of restoration of cages. They give to skin a signal that there was a damage and development of bigger amount of collagen is required. Thus, the system of self-recovery works, but its efficiency falls with age, and collagen is not produced in necessary quantity. Delivery of additional amount of peptides (in cosmetics) increases production of collagen. What is important, some peptides, for example, copper, have very small molecules which with ease get through protective barriers of skin and work in its deep layers. In recent years in cosmetics the synthetic peptides having ability to get into deep layers of epidermis are actively developed and applied.

The main objective of the high-molecular peptides having the big size of molecules (peptides of proteins of germs of wheat, soy proteins, etc.) - skin moistening, it occurs due to education on its surface of the peptide "film" which is holding moisture in epidermis, but not disturbing skin to breathe. That agree, too it is quite good!

• Skin, especially mature, very much needs moisture therefore the majority of creams for skin of this kind contain the hyaluronic acid having the strong moistening properties. Its antiage properties drew attention of cosmetology science long ago, here only the big size of molecules limited area of influence of this component to a skin blanket. But fortunately, rather recently it was succeeded "to crush" a molecule, the low-molecular (fragmented) hyaluronic acid is capable to get deeply in a term, to deliver there moisture and to stimulate skin to production of own hyaluronic acid.

• One more component of anti-aging cosmetics – collagen. The first generation of creams with collagen did not meet expectation, the molecule was too big to get into skin, and besides is not stable. And here the latest forms, so-called, sea collagen differ in both stability, and the small sizes.

For delay of aging of skin in cosmetics such effective ingredients as biostimulators are used, phytohormones and phytoestrogen are most often these are fabric extracts (placentae, medical bloodsuckers, salmon milts, etc.), growth factors, beekeeping products (honey, propolis, apilak), vegetable extraction (extract of bark of a pine, red grapes, soy, a sea-buckthorn and dr)

• Miostimulyatora and miorelaksant are also widely applied to fight against wrinkles in modern anti-aging cosmetics. For example DMAE, or dimethylaminoethanol, getting to an organism, it will be transformed to acetylcholine – the substance regulating a tone of face muscles and respectively – elasticity of skin. In addition, DMAE - powerful antioxidant, helps to remove the toxins complicating natural restoration of cages.

Miorelaksanta, for example Adenoksin, possess the weakening action on fibroblasta. Somewhat such substances interferes with formation of mimic wrinkles, provide the tightening effect and smooth skin. A keyword here – mimic, with adenoksiny are not suitable for disposal of deep age wrinkles of means, and for people with gravitational (obvisaniye) wrinkles and violations of a face contour are simply contraindicated. So it is necessary to approach the choice of anti-age cosmetics especially responsibly, it is desirable previously having visited consultation at the expert. The mistake can cost much!

But even if you considered all necessary factors, chose for yourself ideal cosmetics, it does not mean that, having bought a treasured jar, you once and for all rejuvenate. Fight for skin youth - continuous and laborious process which depends not only on amount of the bought cosmetics, and even not only on their quality, and not only on the state of health and good genes, etc.

In a pursuit of new technologies of rejuvenation and miracle cures we will not forget that the condition of our person reflects state of mind. Love life, the relatives, yourself at any age - and you will be beautiful always!
