Best Ingredients For Anti-Aging

Aging is a fact of life. We all must deal with it as it comes to us, but we don't have to just stand there and take it. There are many ways that we can fight the aging process on our faces. Many skin care products are now focused on fighting off those lines and wrinkles that slowly creep up on us as we get older and older. Here are a few of the best ingredients for anti-aging.

 Antioxidants

Plants and fruits have many antioxidants that can help us to repair sun damage and premature wrinkles. These antioxidants are what help to fight against free radicals that can cause our skin to age much faster. Ingredients such as retinol, caffeine, green tea extract, acai oil, and alpha-hydroxy acids all contain these antioxidants that can slow down free radicals and the signs of aging. 

Caffeine

Many brands have started adding coffee and other caffeinated ingredients to their products. Although research is not 100% clear that caffeine helps to prevent fine lines and wrinkles, it has been shown that it helps to prevent some types of skin cancer. It was also shown to help wake up skin cells all over the body and help to reduce puffiness around the eyes.

Swiss Botany's Green Tea & Rose Cellulite Cream is just one of the products that we offer that has caffeine as an ingredient. The caffeine helps to wake up the skin which helps to make the cellulite on your skin disappear. It can also help to get rid of the puckers in your skin when cellulite starts to form. The caffeine in this cream works when the cream is rubbed on the skin in circular motions.

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids or AHAs

These ingredients help to exfoliate your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, diminish scars, and help age spots to disappear. It is important to start with a very low amount of AHAs when you begin a skin care routine. Some skin types have a high sensitivity to AHAs so in order to make sure that your skin can handle them, test a small amount on a small area of your skin. You will know immediately if you do have a sensitivity to them.

 Hyaluronic Acid

Our bodies already make hyaluronic acid and it helps to keep our skin and tissues moisturized. It is found in our skin and joints. It can also be found in our connective tissues. This acid can be broken down by aging, smoking, and poor diet. Products that contain hyaluronic acid can help make your skin soft and smooth. It is a good idea to use products made with vitamin C with hyaluronic acid because the vitamin C helps to activate the acid. 

Swiss Botany makes a vitamin C serum that can help you fight against aging. This serum is made of organic ingredients that will make your skin start to look the way it did years ago. Using this vitamin C serum means that your wrinkles and age spots will start to fade away after time. The organic ingredients also help your skin to grow back skin cells that keep your skin's natural look. 

Retinol

Retinol is just another way to describe vitamin A. Retinol has become one of the top ingredients in anti-aging products. Retinol can help boost the amount of collagen in your skin. Collagen helps to keep your skin looking young and vibrant. It can help to make your skin look plump and help to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. Our bodies naturally make collagen, but as we age, it begins to produce slower. This is one of the main reasons that we get fine lines and wrinkles. 

Our Retinol Moisturizer Night Cream contains many of these anti-aging ingredients. The retinol in this product works at night to make your skin firm and healthy. It gets rid of those fine lines and wrinkles and works like a charm.
