Many anti oxidant products are available in market for younger looking skin. These skin products like wrinkle decreasing creams, younger skin lotion are highly in demand. People are mad to buy such product without any information whether such products are really effective or not. Everyone in the world wishes that he or she always look beautiful and young. But do these creams really work? What is the cause of skin aging? How do these products help to prevent these changes? Does science approve such products? Let’s see…

Antioxidant creams and lotions:

The most important thing is to make sure that these creams should not be sold for making money. But every one of us is so concerned about our skin that we do not see whether we are using our money in a right way or it is just useless. For getting knowledge and information about these skin products, I visited one of the grand institutes of America which approves anti oxidants and other skin products. I got to know about the products that FDA had approved as anti oxidants that could work against wrinkles and age-spots. I got to know:

The causes of skin aging:

Skin is most affected by UV rays. These rays are emitted by the sun. UV rays cross the cell membrane of the cells of our skin. They damage the cell by altering cell membranes, cellular proteins and DNA. Altered cells render our skin malnourished and weaker. This forces our skin to wrinkle and age-spots are formed. The more the exposure, the more skin is damaged. Therefore hands and face are affected most because these are highly exposed. The advertisements by skin products say that they can reverse such changes plus they can make skin more beautiful.

The mechanism of action of anti aging creams:

Every one of us is facing the same sort of skin problem as we age. The thing to know is what these anti oxidant do to our skin. Do they really work? The answer is 50-50. 50% for that, they help to repair the damaged skin by UV rays. 50% for that, they do not reverse the mechanism of aging and cannot make our skin really younger than before. Let’s see something about wrinkles:

Skin wrinkles:

The main goal of all antioxidants is to decrease wrinkling.  The causes of wrinkling are UV exposure and smoking. This means that it is not really a tough job to take preventions. Avoiding direct sun exposure or applying sun block creams and lotions can help. Smoking can also be ceased for a good change. This may help to prevent aging of our skin naturally.
