The beauty market abounds with
lotions and creams of all kinds that claim to restore to your skin refreshing
youthfulness; however, the choice you make can be mind-boggling. When you walk
down the beauty aisle for anti-aging skincare products, you should specifically
look for certain ingredients to your utmost advantage.

The seven ingredients we focus on
here are the ones that would make a huge difference to your skin, giving you a
good cover against premature aging.
1 Retinol
Retinol, an active form of vitamin A
molecule, finds its place among nighttime products and has long been reckoned a
miracle product for skin care. As a powerful exfoliant, it helps your skin shed
dead layers, turning it young and vibrant. It increases as well the production of hyaluronic acid, naturally
found in your body. It regulates cell renewal and enhances the softness and
smoothness of your skin. That makes an amazing solution for dehydrated skin.
There are other benefits too. Retinol-based
products firm up your skin, reverse signs of sun damage as well as environmental
damage, take care of acne and lessen hyper pigmentation. Dark circles, fine
lines and wrinkles are smoothed away through regular application of
retinol-based creams. A word of warning: products having retinol cannot be used for
long, once opened. It is best to use them within two months after opening.
2 Vitamin C
Adding vitamin C to your everyday
skincare gives you a range of benefits. You can rely on this key vitamin to
improve your skin tone, and hydrate and shield it from the harmful effects of
pollution. Another bonus is that it can effectively brighten your skin tone.
Buy vitamin C-enhanced products in
opaque, airtight packs. Do not expose them to light and air that may render
them inactive.
3 Vitamin E
Vitamin E is another wonder skincare
ingredient commonly found in products that maintain the oil balance of your
skin. It heals parched and dry skin. It lightens dark spots/scars, and fine
lines around the eyes; treats sunburns and reverses premature aging of skin.
Its powerful antioxidant properties help neutralize free radicals caused by
ultraviolet radiation, nourishing your skin from within.
4
Niacinamide
Niacinamide, also called vitamin B3
and nicotinic acid, is one ingredient that offers multiple benefits to your
skin. It improves visibly the appearance of enlarged pores, fine lines and
uneven skin tone.
5
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant
that boosts sun protection, when used along with sunscreen. It neutralizes free
radicals and hence plays an important role in anti-aging skin care. It has
antimicrobial properties too. However, pregnant women should avoid using it.
6 Ceramides
Ceramides in skincare products help
to replenish the natural lipids that you lose from aging and exposure to harsh
environmental factors. They fortify the natural barrier of the skin, holding
its cells tight and keeping it moist.
7
Curcuminoids
Curcuminoids are the key active
components of turmeric. They fight against excess melanin production when
exposed to sunlight, and have a calming effect on your open pores and acne
scars. Their valuable antioxidant, antibacterial and anti fungal properties help
treat skin disorders such as acne and rashes.
If you feel you have not achieved the
desired results from over-the-counter skincare products, it is time you looked for professional
solutions from an experienced aesthetic skincare expert.
