Perhaps one of the most important is check that the product you use is a good skin care moisturizer cream because there is nothing worse than dry, flaky skin. It can take so much time to improve the condition of your skin if it has not been properly hydrated with an effective skin care cream. One of the best checks is to find out about the active ingredients in the product.
You need to view the whole topic about active ingredients with extreme caution. Why is this? Well, many products claim to contain them but the amounts are insufficient to be any real benefit. This is a common ploy among even skin care moisturizer creams that are widely advertised and expensive.
You may have seen articles in the newspapers praising some products that are claimed to be as good as other products costing up to ten times as much. I'm sure you accept that you get nothing for nothing and these very inexpensive creams only give a superficial benefit for your skin. The active ingredients to keep your skin in wonderful condition need to address the three main causes of skin care.
Replacement of Collagen and Elastin
The well-known expression, "beauty is only skin deep", was never so true when applied to understanding what to look for in your ideal skin care cream. It isn't enough for a cheap cream to apply a coating over your skin that temporarily hides any imperfections even though your skin may feel smoother after applying it. You need to feed your skin right through to the lowest layers where the structure of your skin is maintained.
Maintain Required Levels of Hyaluronic Acid
To be a bit scientific for a moment, Hyaluronic Acid is a gel-like, disaccharide which is an element of your connective tissue. It helps to cushion and lubricate these tissues as well as supporting the formation of the above mentioned collagen fibres. This acid suppresses the formation of an enzyme called hyaluronidase which would otherwise cause your skin condition to become worse as you get older.
Prevent Oxidation Effects of Free Radicals
Again, the most cost-effective skin care cream will contain antioxidants that cleanse your skin right down through all the layers instead of just "toying" with the superficial outer skin layer. Most skin care moisturizer creams claim to contain that well-known antioxidant called Coenzyme Q10. But, to improve the mopping up action down through to the lower layers, this antioxidant needs to be in a special form known as 'nano-emulsion' so that it will not be depleted by the action of sunlight unlike those inexpensive creams that only have a temporary effect on the outer skin layer.
Make no mistake about it; any skin care cream that does not contain these active ingredients will not protect your skin against the effects of aging. Such a cream will merely fool you into thinking that it is working by creating an artificial surface film on the outer layer of your skin.
