When looking to de-age your face safely, natural skin care products are the perceptible choice.  The newest cellular rejuvenation finding has focused on the benefits of naturally occurring ingredients, chiefly antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Why the focus on nutrients?  We have learned a great deal about what keeps people vigorous on the inside and what causes them to be sick.  Recently, cosmetic companies lost sight of the fact that the skin is in fact the body’s largest organ.   It needs the same things that the inside of the body needs.   In some ways, it needs even more help.

Internal organs don’t have to cope with the damage effects of direct UV sunlight.   The outside of the body is exposed.   The face is especially prone to photo-ageing; wrinkles and other signs of aging caused by exposure to sunshine.  We protect the rest of our body by wearing clothing most of the time.

A big sun hat and a pair of UV protective sunglasses can do a lot to protect the facial skin.   The trend over the last few years has been to include sunscreen ingredients in every skin cream on the market.   Why should we put a sunscreen in a night cream?

There is no benefit and the best quality natural skin care products do not contain sunscreen ingredients, because they are not safety tested.   Even the effectiveness of the sunscreens has been questioned, because the SPF rating process is not accurate.   Sunscreens only work is you reapply them several times a day.   What is the point of putting sunscreen in a day cream or body lotion that you apply only once daily?   There is none.

The better companies take a different approach by using formulas rich in antioxidants to prevent aging caused by UV exposure.   Natural skin care products containing the antioxidant coenzyme Q10 have even been shown to reverse sun damage and the wrinkles caused by it. 

Coenzyme Q10 was was praised in years past as a fountain of youth.  It can be taken orally and applied topically, but the molecules included in natural skin care creams must be smaller.  Otherwise they won’t penetrate the skin’s pores into the deepest layers of skin.   Technology can improve what nature has provided.  Look for a skin cream with this ingredient for naturally younger skin.
