Anti Aging

Aging can be explained by three theories. The first explains that aging is governed by a genetically driven time clock that will run out.

The next widely-accepted theory of aging is the "Free Radical Theory" that says that the body's inability to maintain a supply of free radicals as it ages greatly affects aging itself, and the "Hormonal Theory" that blames menopausal, andropausal, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases for early aging because these conditions are believed to be indirect results of the body's reduction of hormone production.

Today, the most common means of fighting aging is through the use of anti-aging creams. In fact, when you look in different beauty and wellness stores, anti-aging creams take up a lot of space on the shelves.

Apart from the influx of anti aging products in stores they are advertised extensively on television, radio, on the internet and in magazines. They all promise the reduction of wrinkles, the elimination of fine lines and a more youthful skin.

Anti aging creams and lotions have always been targeted towards women. When globalizaiton and commercialization became a worldwide hit, the industry of beauty and wellness became open to men. Products and service were created with men in mind. Anti aging products that are formulated for men are readily available.

In order to be able to select the proper products for your skin, you must know what your skin type is. Different skin types require different ingredients. Take the time to learn what your skin type is.

Aging of the skin can be caused by dirt and oil. If your skin ages due to oil or dirt, choose and anti aging cream that reduces free radicals. Another cause of aging is the deterioration of collagen. If your skin lacks collagen, opt for a cream that aids in the restoration of collagen. There are many various products available in cream, water-based, or capsule form.

The price tag on a product does not assure the quality of the product. Some of the best anti aging creams or lotions have a very reasonable price tag. There is no need to spend more than your budget allows.

Make sure that you pay a visit to your doctor or to a dermatologist first before buying a anti-aging creams or products for that matter so he or she can give you advice.
