anti-aging

Moisturizing night cream is one of the most important parts of any anti-aging skin care regimen. That's because the effects of aging don't stop while you sleep. Built up toxins and other irritants can continue to do damage and moisture and elasticity can all be lost during the nighttime hours. That's why manufacturers have developed creams and moisturizers specifically designed for nighttime use.

Any effective anti-aging skin care products need to address the three primary causes of age related skin damage: loss of collagen and elastin, depletion of hyaluronic acid and build up of free radicals. This is the key to keeping the skin soft, supple, and healthy from the inside out. Using a night moisturizer is just one way to achieve this end, but it is a vital one.

Unlike products used during the day, which have to be light and easily absorbed so that they don't hamper your regular activity, moisturizing night cream needs to absorb more deeply and have a longer lasting effect. This is achieved by selecting specific ingredients that provide the moisture and healing you need and retain their effectiveness overnight.

It is these ingredients that give natural night moisturizer its effectiveness, allowing it to not only treat skin but provide soothing healing by actually encouraging the body to use its own defenses to strike back against aging. That's right, the body is stimulated to produce its own collagen and elastin, replenishing the amount lost over time. That's the only way to successfully replace the collagen lost through aging, as collagen creams only provide a thin surface layer that doesn't last.

Some of the natural ingredients that are particularly useful in moisturizing night cream are Active New Zealand Manuka Honey, Shea Butter, and Avocado extract. These are all effective natural emollients that provide soothing and protection while replenishing moisture and stimulating collagen production. And they do so without any harsh additives so you can use them without worrying about unpleasant side effects.

Shea Butter and Avocado extract help to moisturize naturally, unlike like chemical ingredients that can actually dry out your skin even more. And Manuka Honey, harvested fresh in New Zealand, has antioxidant properties that allow it to remove built up toxins, improving the health of the skin. All of these ingredients, used in careful combination with other natural substances, make for a night moisturizer you can trust.

Fortunately, you can now take full advantage of nature's healing goodness with the only moisturizing night cream clinically proven to fight the three main causes of aging. Together with a full range of products for daytime use, this represents the most thorough and effective advance in anti aging skin care treatment.

Don't let aging get the best of you, fight back while you sleep with safe, gentle and powerful all-natural moisturizing cream designed specifically to be used overnight. It's the easiest way to keep aging at bay and treat your skin right, both day and night!

We all know the importance of taking good care of our skin, but it's the how that sometimes confuses people. Antioxidants, which are made up of nutrients (vitamins and minerals), and enzymes (proteins), protect the skin against free radicals, which can damage skin cells. Free radicals are molecules that are responsible for aging and tissue damage. Antioxidants in skin care products can do a lot for the health and appearance of your skin.

One of the greatest benefits of antioxidants is in the reduction of inflammation of the skin. They have a calming effect, and can be found in pine bark and green tea. The antioxidants increase circulation and cell metabolism, which reduces inflammation and produces a more even skin tone and helps keep acne and wrinkles at bay.

Skin firming is another benefit of antioxidants. Coenzyme Q-10 is a common skin firming antioxidant and is used in eye creams and other products that are meant to tone the skin. You should look for moisturizers that have these ingredients when shopping for your skin care products.

Skin care products with antioxidants help to plump out the skin, thereby making the appearance of wrinkles less noticeable. Wrinkles will not disappear completely, but they will seem less apparent. Vitamins C and E are especially beneficial in this area.

Reducing the appearance of scar tissue is another benefit of antioxidants. Scar tissue has a different cell structure than that of normal skin, making it rigid. Antioxidants found in aloe and allium (onion extract), increase blood flow to scar tissue minimizing the look of the scar.

The effect that the sun has on our skin can be very dangerous, as we all know, and it can also be bad for your skins appearance. The sun's rays dry out the skin and damages cells. Antioxidants that stimulate blood flow can once again be helpful with this type of damage. It's good to find a good cleanser and moisturizer that contain antioxidants.

Another ingredient to look for is Selenium. As with vitamins C and E, Selenium as well can help protect the skin against sun damage, and they may also reverse some discoloration and wrinkles associated with aging.

Alpha-lipoic is an antioxidant that is applied topically in cream form. This also protects the skin from sun damage.

Retinoic Acid is the active form of vitamin A in the skin and products that contain this ingredient treat fine wrinkles, age spots and rough skin caused by sun exposure.

Flavonoids (green tea and chocolate!), sounds yummy, but, yes, they can help to improve your skin! Again, it's possible that they protect against skin cancer, and inflammation.

The B vitamins are essential for your skin. A deficiency in this vitamin can lead to dry, itchy skin.

There are other antioxidants that are being explored for their benefits on skin improvement. They are rosemary, lycopene, grape seed extract, pomegranate, and soy.
