Natural skin care is the buzz word in today's world – at least, when it comes to wrinkles.
Sun exposure, smoking and the natural aging process all contribute to your skins diminished ability to create collagen and elastin, which are the fibers holding skin together and keeping it smooth and young looking.
The popularity of Botox, when it first hit the market, made companies eager to replicate the results without turning it into a medical procedure.
When your facial muscles aren't tense, they can't contribute to wrinkles. Sounds great, doesn't it?
Another ingredient in many products is Argireline, which is derived from amino acids that occur naturally and are supposed to relax facial tension.
Botox injections target specific muscles, whereas Argireline (if it does work) is likely to relax most of your face.
And while Argireline may reduce wrinkles, it
may also, in theory, increase facial sag because the neurotransmitters whose release
Argireline inhibits, help maintain facial firmness.
Notably, a popular firming skin care ingredient DMAE firms by stimulating the release of neurotransmitters and increasing facial tension, i.e. by producing roughly the opposite effect to Argireline.
Whether Argireline does contribute to facial sag has not been studied; and until more is known, people prone to facial sag should approach Argireline with caution and closely monitor effects on their facial firmness, while using it.
