Is Anti Aging Cream for Men Worth It?
Anti-aging cream is not a time machine. We can't promise miracles, but if you want to firm up your skin and smooth out wrinkles, anti-aging cream is certainly worth using. Here are the top 3 reasons why:
1. You lose the ability to create collagen as you age.
Collagen is the structural protein of the skin - it's main building block. The less collagen your body produces, the more wrinkles your skin will have. Anti-aging ingredients - including borage oil, vitamin C, and DMAE - help boost collagen and encourage a smooth, healthy skin texture.
Our anti-aging creams are formulated with potent combinations of the best age fighting ingredients available.
- In the morning, use our Resurfacing Anti-Aging Cream to boost collagen production and smooth out an aged skin texture.
- In the evening, our Revitalizing Anti-Aging Cream is best - its ingredients deliver maximum moisture and nutrients to fight age spots and other pigmentation issues.
2. Hydrated skin ages better.
Oily skin is not necessarily a curse. Many guys with oily skin show signs of aging slower than men with dry skin. That's because your skin needs a protective layer of natural oil to hold in moisture.
Hydration loss is a major cause of deepening wrinkles and fine lines. To prevent that, we use hyaluronic acid as a main ingredient in our Revitalizing Anti-Aging Cream. This gel-like water holding molecule retains over 1,000 times its weight in water.
Another contributing factor to wrinkles and age spots is UV damage caused by sun exposure. By flooding your skin cells with hydration from hyaluronic acid, you can reduce lines and prevent future wrinkles.
3. Years of UV damage lead to age spots and pigmentation irregularities.
As you age, your skin eventually develops pigmentation issues. A lot of people call them “age spots.” How do they form and how can you slow them down?
Ultraviolet light from the sun accelerates the production of melanin, causing concentrated areas of it on the skin (age spots). One of the key ingredients in our Revitalizing Anti-Aging Cream is MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane). This nutrient found in many super foods (spinach, kale, etc.) reduces age spots and skin pigmentation issues.
Vitamin C is also excellent at combatting the long term effects of UV damage. That's why it's in our Resurfacing Anti-Aging Cream. Evidence shows that it protects your skin from destructive free radicals and helps stimulate the production of collagen. The result is visibly firmer, tighter skin with fewer irregularities in pigmentation.
