As your skin ages it begins to lose some essential components, all of which helped your skin stay supple and firm when you were young. But as you age your skin starts to lose skin elasticity, and it was elasticity that helped keep your skin supple and firm. The result is that, with age, your skin starts to sag and starts to form wrinkles. Elastin, collagen and keratin are 3 important skin proteins, all of which contribute to skin elasticity.

Keratin is a very strong fibre that is found in our skin, as well in that of some animals, and is also found in a range of other parts of our body, such as hair and nails. Keratin in the outermost layer of the epidermis and is what makes our skin tough and also contributes to its waterproof qualities. It’s almost like a natural plastic. Keratin actually refers to a family of proteins rather than only one.

The very outer layer of skin is mainly made up of dead cells which contain keratin, and these protect our skin and help retain moisture. If we can increase levels of keratin this helps the skin produce new cells, and helps skin protect itself. But as we age our skin slowly loses its ability to produce new cells.

So you will find keratin in many anti aging products. But this keratin found in regular anti aging products is extracted from feathers, horns and hooves of birds and animals by a process which combines heat with acid. This changes the form of the keratin, making it of little use to the skin. But a new product called Cynergy TK has changed that.

Cynergy TK isn’t really a product. Strictly speaking it is an ingredient found in skin care products, but only in the best skin care products. It is made in New Zealand by a small company which has patented it. Studies on the effects of using skin care products with Cynergy TK have shown very impressive results.

The keratin found in Cynergy TK is extracted from the wool of sheep without the use of heat or acid and this produces a form which is almost identical to that found in the human skin, and studies have shown, in particular because of zinc protein complexes contained in it, that it is particularly effective at stimulating the production of new cells as well as helping the skin repair itself. By increasing the role of keratin in the skin this increases skin elasticity and also moisture retention which is equally important to skin health.

And studies have also shown that the keratin found in Cynergy TK helps stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, 2 other skin proteins which are very important in maintaining skin elasticity and which are also gradually lost with age.

Studies undertaken on the effects of using skin care products with Cynergy TK show improvements in moisture levels of 14 percent after 18 days use as well as a 42 percent improvement skin elasticity over this time. The result is an improvement in skin health and a reduction in wrinkles that is quite noticeable.

Age slowly degrades the ability of the skin to stay healthy, and the result is skin sagging and wrinkles. Using anti aging products containing ingredients like Cynergy TK helps restore better skin health and this in turn is the best way to combat skin ageing.

What Are All Natural Anti Aging Products And Why Should You Use Them?

If you’re looking for the best natural anti aging products then it is important for you to understand more about exactly what “all natural” anti aging products or for that matter “organic” anti aging products really are and are not. And you also need to know how to choose the best ones.

There is a huge market for natural anti ageing skin products or organic anti aging products. This segment of the market is growing faster than just about any other and for good reason. So many people now understand that many of the big name skin care products contain ingredients which are not particularly effective and which can also be dangerous to your health.

If, as a result of understanding this, you’re looking for a good range of all natural anti aging products such as natural anti aging creams then here’s a few things that you need to understand before you buy. The first is that “organic” or “natural” is not defined either generally or legally and any product that is advertised as an all natural anti aging product is not tested to see if the ingredients are natural or not. And because there is no definition it’s impossible to know anyway.

Any company can make skin care products and call them whatever they want and there is no law to prevent this.

However that also doesn’t mean that all products advertised as natural anti aging products or organic anti aging products are poor products or use unsafe ingredients. But it does mean that you need to go beyond the advertising to find safe and effective skin care products. Don’t believe the advertising.

You need to find out the philosophy of the company behind the products and to find out that they are committed to producing products that are safe and effective, whether they are marketed as natural or not..

There are excellent anti aging products available right now that are safe and effective. One example is a small niche skin care company that told it’s development team, before developing their products, to ensure that their anti aging products were “safe enough to eat”. This is a demonstrated commitment to product safety and they have the same commitment to product quality.

So if you’re looking to find all and you’re looking for the best all natural anti aging skin care products you need to understand a little more about what these words mean. The mere fact their products may be called by any name means that you ought to dig a little deeper than just reading the advertising. You need to understand the corporate philosophy of the company that makes the products and its commitment to product safety and quality before you commit to buying the products.

The anti aging skin care industry is a massive industry turning over billions of dollars every year. Like in all massive industries there are companies that focus purely on profit and there are companies which focus on product quality knowing that if they produce high-quality all natural antiaging skin products the profit will follow. The anti aging industry is no exception.

However these companies are in the minority and so you need be extremely careful when choosing your anti aging products to ensure that they are made by a company with an outstanding commitment to its products.

On my website I tried to alert my readers to the dangers of modern in care products and point them in the direction of safer and more effective alternatives. Visit my website to find out more.

Can Your Anti Aging Products Kill You?

Ageing is something no one can avoid and so there are huge numbers of people looking for a solution to looking older. The market is doeshuge for sales of anti aging products. Ageing people, in most cases, don’t realise that so many of the anti aging products available today contain ingredients which may be dangerous, and fragrances are a fine example.

Estimates are that there are some around 4000 different fragrances used in so many of the personal products that we use today including antiaging skin products. After all everyone wants to smell nice and it’s well known that adding a fragrance to a personal product helps it sell. So what’s the problem with smelling nice when you’re applying the latest anti aging skin care product?

Unfortunately most fragrances are just chemicals that are produced in a laboratory and whilst there’s nothing wrong with producing chemicals that are safe to use unfortunately there are plenty of studies showing that many are not. It might scare you to know about it if you read the studies.

Of course not every fragrance carries health risks. There are many essential oils that do not, however these are very expensive and the chemical alternatives are way cheaper. So that’s what skin care companies use.

If you search the Cosmetic Safety Database you’ll see that fragrances are linked to cancer, immunotoxicity and neurotoxicity, allergies, disruption of the endocrine system, irritation to the eyes and skin and lungs and more.

If you bought the latest bestselling ageing moisturizer you will probably use it over a reasonably large area of your skin. And your skin will absorb the fragrance just like you ate it.

It’s just the same with perfumes but when you use a perfume you use it only on a very small area of skin.

All this may be a shock for you. It’s a sad fact that so many personal, beauty and anti aging skin care products that so many of us use every single day contain chemical ingredients that may well be dangerous to your health and which you are not warned about.It’s not just fragrances, there’s many more examples.

And there’s an opportunity here for small companies and one in particular has seen this opportunity and now produces anti aging products with no fragrances At all and no other potentially harmful ingredients.

The market for antiaging skin products is worth billions of dollars and it’s a case of buyer beware. Though there may be studies showing the risks to so many ingredients in anti aging products the skin care companies are unlikely to warn you about them.

I write a website to educate about the risks of ingredients in modern personal products including anti aging skin care products and attempt to point people towards safe and effective alternative natural anti aging skin care products.
