Natural anti-aging skin care is the buzz word in today's world at least, when it comes to wrinkles.
But, 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 your skin together, and which keep it smooth and young looking.
The popularity of Botox, when the anti-aging miracle cure first hit the market made companies eager to replicate its results without turning it into a medical procedure.
after all, when your facial muscles aren't tense, they can't contribute to wrinkles. Sounds great, doesn't it?
Argireline 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, in theory it may also increase facial sag, because the neurotransmitters that Argireline inhibits, help maintain your 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.
There are, of course, plenty of natural skin care products that have been developed using all natural ingredients. Products designed specifically for aging skin.
A strong antioxidant, Edelweis cleans up the damaging free radicals caused by metabolism and pollutants. In addition it blocks ultraviolet light, (UV radiation), from penetrating your skin.
A natural moisturizer and skin firmer, shea butter promotes the healing of skin, while working to prevent dryness and wrinkles.
Be sure, when you're choosing an anti-aging or natural skin care product, to choose a product that contains at least one of the natural ingredients above.
