Alpha Hydroxy Acids Cause Sunburns, Wrinkles and an Aged Appearance

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

A wrinkle treatment that includes alpha-hydroxy acid will add-on your chances of sunburn. The Food & Drug Administration began mandating that cosmetic companies label products containing them with that notification in 2002. Yet many people fail to read the labels. The products proceed to sell and consumers suffer the consequences.

Not only is sunburn a painful and annoying problem that damages your good looks for a short while , it also increases your chances of developing both wrinkles and skin cancer. It just doesn’t make good sense to use anti wrinkle creams that could increase your risk of wrinkling, particularly because there are natural ingredients available that will prevent sun damaged skin.

I am not speaking of sunscreen. While it may be necessary to use a zinc oxide or other broad spectrum sun block occasionally, the value of using products containing sunscreen on a daily basis is questionable at best. It could actually be hazardous.

If one reads the latest news in the cosmetic industry, you know that researchers have seen an increased incidence of vitamin D deficiency over the past few years. The cause, they conceive, is sunscreen containing cosmetics. By blocking ultraviolet light, sunscreens also interfere with the body’s ability to synthesize vitamin D.

The best wrinkle treatment available today (once again, according to the researchers) is one that includes coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 is one of the compounds mentioned above that helps protect against sun damage. Another is wakame kelp extract.

Coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant found in each and every cell in your body. The amount present in the heart starts to decline once we reach twenty years of age, which is why it is often recommended as a heart healthy supplement.

The CoenzymeQ10 in the skin cells is quickly depleted when exposed to the sun’s rays, which is why researchers began to speculate whether or not it might be helpful as an anti aging skin care treatment. The development of wrinkles is frequently blamed on the sun’s harmful rays, but it is the free radicals that cause the wrinkling of the skin.

Wakame kelp extract contains a number of different anti-aging nutrients. If you want the best wrinkle treatment, look for one that contains it and COQ10.
