So what are we to do? Men and Women today are fighting the anti-aging war and are sick and tired of wasting money on hyped-up products that are nothing more than water, mineral oil and some nice smelling stuff.
Hi, my name is Jane and over the past decade and half I've researched dozens of anti-aging products... Anything that will even claim to just STOP THE WRINKLES from getting any worse. Very few have worked and the worst part is that most of these products have negative side effects on the skin such as
itching
brown spots
discoloration
blocked pores
breakouts
Waging the War Against Wrinkles
Fighting the War against Wrinkles seems to be an uphill battle especially as we get older. As we age our skin begins to thin.
Our skin's thickness depletes by 6% every ten years
Our own body producing Collagen and Elastin slows down at a rapid rate of 65% between the ages of 25-80. Ouch!
Thin skin does not have the ability to maintain moisture. Without moisture and proper replenishing the skin begins to wrinkle and sag. As we age we notice these wrinkles are more prevalent around our eyes. The reason being is that the skin around our eyes is extremely delicate and does not have the ability to hold and retain water.
Anti-aging eye creams that are water based and contain the right levels of moisture will give you a more supple and firm look. Wouldn't it be great to have corrective results that are immediately visible? All is not lost there is a way to wage the war against the aging process.
There are anti-aging eye creams that not only prevent and correct fine lines and wrinkles but they also help with puffiness and dark circles as well.
Why Most Anti-Aging Eye Creams Do Not Work
Many anti-aging eye creams contain animal by-products
Many anti-aging eye creams contain mineral oil
Many anti-aging eye creams contain alcohol
These ingredients cannot combat the visible signs of aging because they contribute to why we have wrinkles in the first place!
Here's the kicker. These ingredients do not provide nor can they allow moisture in because of there molecular structure. Products that contain such ingredients strip our skin of the natural moisture our body creates. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate is the name of the game when it comes to anti-aging.
In more simple terms, a mineral oil cell is larger, much larger than a skin cell. There is no possible way mineral oil can penetrate the skin. You could bathe in mineral oil all day and it would never penetrate your skin, unless you're an alien of some sort that has a different molecular structure than the rest of us.
What are the 2 main contributing factors in the aging process?
You hear about the number one factor all the time. You're probably sick of hearing about it but I bet you have NEVER heard anything about the second biggest contributiong factor...
NUMBER ONE... You guessed it. The sun
NUMBER TWO... Mineral Oil.
Mineral Oil? How could that possibly cause wrinkles. I mean we put mineral oil on our babies from the day we bring them home. You know that clear bottle of liquid with the pink cap on it? It smells so good and helps to keep our babies skin soft, right? Actually no.
Mineral oil is a common ingredient in many household products. It is found in lotions, soaps, cosmetics and motor oil.
Mineral oil is a clear, liquid oil with no scent 
It will not spoil It is produced as a byproduct of the distillation of gasoline from crude oil Mineral oil is the leftover liquid, and because it is abundant, it is very inexpensive In fact, it is more expensive to dispose of mineral oil, than to purchase it Mineral oil acts as a thin plastic layer on the skin It clogs the pores, which slows the skin’s ability to eliminate toxins If trace amounts are absorbed through inhallation or ingestion, it is broken down by the liver and passes through the intestinal tract And once the oil is present in the intestinal tract, it will absorb all of the fat-soluble vitamins found there It is essentially stealing important vitamins from the body, which the body will not be able to replace. This can eventually lead to nutritional deficiencies Studies have also shown forms of pneumonia caused by mineral oil decreasing lung function, known as lipoid pneumonia The medical community has condemned the use of mineral oil taken orally or as an ingredient in medications
OK. Forget our wrinkles for a moment. Think about all the babies that have been exposed to mineral oil Some of us may have even used it regularly on our little ones. I know I did.
Given these harmful effects, when caring for babies, it is best to use all natural products. Many caretakers know that babies love to put their hands in their mouths. This also means that whatever is on their hands is also going in their mouth, and into their bodies. It is best not to chance your baby’s health with mineral oil and petroleum-based products.
AND LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT THE GUYS
(-: SO NOW THE GOOD STUFF :-)
When you have others come up to you and tell you how great your skin looks, you will feel great about doing the research and know that it was well worth the time. There is no better investment than you.
So here are some guidelines to help you select the best products for your skin that will not increase the signs of agin and will acutally work to stop those wrinkles and change the appearance of your skin.
Ophthalmologist Tested
Botanical Ingredients
Hypoallergenic
Vegan Certified
Water Based
What's so important about a product being Vegan Certified you may ask? The skin around the eye is very thin and delicate. Remember our skin is the largest organ of the body. What we put onto our skin penetrates within 30 seconds and goes directly into our bloodstream. Non vegan and non botanically based products contain chemicals that may have harmful results when used over a long period of time. Beauty is truly achieved from the inside out.
To sum things up, a result oriented anti-aging skin care line with proprietary plant derived ingredients can and will have an incredible almost unbelievable immediate result and will continue to reverse the anti-aging process.
Before wasting one more dime on Anti-Aging products make sure the one you are purchasing has beneficial ingredients.
