It is the star molecule of anti-wrinkle creams! Hyaluronic acid is indeed recognized for its effectiveness on the epidermis by dermatologists. This somewhat special polymer is also present naturally in our skin. It allows cells to be linked together, filling in the spaces. Hyaluronic acid, present in anti-aging creams and serums, also regenerates the elasticity of the epidermis by activating the cells. Ultra-hydrating, these treatments revive dull complexions and give the skin a plump appearance. Fine lines appear less visible to the naked eye. It is also possible to make injections to fill in very visible wrinkles.
Fruit acids, also called AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) and BHA (beta hydroxy acids) are the new trending ingredients. Used for years by professionals to perform a peeling, they eliminate dead skin and restore baby skin. Found in some anti-wrinkle creams, these exfoliants give the impression of having brand new skin. They help to remove small scars, dilated pores or fine lines. However, the dosages vary according to the treatment. Glycolic acid is also one of the most used fruit acids in cosmetics. It is particularly effective in stimulating cell renewal. It also allows the skin to oxygenate and regain all its radiance!
Surely you have already seen retinol-based anti-wrinkle creams. This ingredient is simply a derivative of vitamin A. It is known to fight acne and skin problems. By observing its ability to regenerate cells, dermatologists had the idea of using its properties to fight the appearance of wrinkles. Be careful, however:if you buy a retinol treatment, for its effectiveness to be total, it must be well protected from air and light. Otherwise, it risks degrading and losing its virtues.
But what is an antioxidant? It is a molecule that reduces cell oxidation. Thus, the aging of the skin is slowed down. Our epidermis being attacked daily by our environment, antioxidants help preserve our youthfulness. These ingredients are found in certain fruits, such as grapes, citrus fruits, or in tea. Bet on anti-wrinkle creams with green tea or vitamin C.
Finally, there are many natural ingredients that effectively preserve the skin. Prefer aloe vera gel for its healing and super moisturizing power, but also shea butter, sweet almond oil, argan oil or tiger grass.
