Isn't it quite a chore to keep up with all the anti aging product trends of the past few years? And shouldn't the quest to look more beautiful be an exciting time? Perhaps because of all the flase or misleading claims by companies citing "super" ingredients for quick fixes, we have become disappointed in shopping for new eye skin care and as a result, don't think anything really works. Most women and men out there are struggling to find the right product for their eye skin care needs. In an effort to make this process easier, here is a guide for selecting a line of skin care that's right for you. The right product should keep up with these trends for 2009.
Trend 1: Cosmeceuticals. Cosmeceuticals are among the products people are starting to pay attention to simply because it makes sense. Mixing cosmetics and pharmaceuticals in effort to medicinally relieve certain problem areas like puffy eyes and dark circles is pure genious - especially when so many people need more than the over-the-counter strength skin care lines that are available. Cosmeceuticals are on the rise due to scientific advancements in ingredients and breakthrough technologies. Clinique Medical Skin Care is a perfect example of this new approach to anti aging skin care which is introduced by Clinique (a maker of cosmetics) and Allergan (a leader in medical aesthetics). Some cosmeceuticals, like Clinique Medical, are available only at a doctors office, while others popular ones like Perricone MD are readily available just about anywhere online.
Trend 2: Caffeine and peptides. Products containing peptides and caffeine are on the rise. Studies are relatively inconclusive as to what the long term benefits are, but caffeine is shown to reduce puffy eyes and increase circulation while peptides are claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties to aid in adult acne and other serious skin conditions. Anti aging peptides will continue to be at the forefront of age-reducing product lines in your local drugstore. A study at the World Congress of Dermatology in Paris found that a 50% reduction in wrinkles is possible when the skin is treated with a high concentration of peptides. And those ever-so-popular home remedies suggest using the caffeine properties in tea to relieve puffy eyes.
Trend 3: Topical antiseptics and anti-inflammatories. You will continually see these antiseptics and anti-inflammatories in anti aging skin creams and makeup: tea tree leaf, lavender oils, and algae extracts as they provide healing to delicate facial skin. Anti-inflammatories are especially on the up-rise as inflammation in parts of our bodies is what leads to so many degenerative diseases and skin conditions.
Trend 4: Beauty and skin care on the inside, then out. There is so much talk on the proven benefits of antioxidants. Products as well as supplements rich in antioxidants are being developed because everyone wants to eat healthier in order to improve their skin. Cosmetic companies are now including along with antioxidants - nutraceuticals, botanicals, and green tea in skin care lines. They are believed to penetrate the skin quickly in order to nourish and protect skin. Dermalogica is one skin care line that offers potent antioxidants. Some potent antioxidants in products you will be hearing about, thus seeing in skin care are: turmeric root extract, resveratrol from grapes, acai, and goji berry.
Trend 5: Probiotics. Certain skin care lines are introducing probiotics into their formulations. The term probiotics refers to foods that contain the "good" type of bacteria that are similar to those normally found in your body. The recently introduced Activia by Dannon is one such example that offers our body this helpful bacteria. There is a growing scientific interest in probiotics and what they can do for your body. The companies who are adding probiotics to their products believe that it can soften and exfoliate the skin. The catch is that most available research of this nature supporting that there are skin benefits, is referring to when probiotics are taken internally, not topically.
If you find yourself on the lookout for anti aging eye skin care in the near future, hopefully this guide will help you feel that much more equipped to make an educated decision on whether or not to buy that product. It helps to have the latest information as to what the trends in ingredients are as they will significantly impact our skin as we learn more about them. - 15683
