Not many are too thrilled about displaying the length of their time on the planet but the skincare and anti-aging industry has managed to churn out enough products to keep us looking young for as long as we can. In order to start putting together your anti-aging regimen, it’s helpful to know what’s out there and how to meet your skin’s needs.
Idebenone (eye-deb-eh-known) is actually a very recent discovery in the anti-aging industry. This potent ingredient is not just known for its ability to combat wrinkles and other signs of aging, but it can help benefit the body as well. Just what does Idebenone do and how does it do it so well? It’s time to find out.
Idebenone is an organic compound that also acts as an antioxidant. To get a better idea of what this ingredient is, Idebenone is most commonly compared to the ingredient Coenzyme Q10, which also works to eliminate the signs of aging and is used in many anti-aging products. Studies have shown that while Coenzyme Q10 is very effective in targeting free radicals to prevent oxidation, it has the unfortunate ability to switch from an anti-oxidizing process to an auto-oxidizing process. This means that Coenzyme Q10 is prone to producing free radicals and defeating the purpose of preventing oxidation. However, it is impossible for Idebenone to do the same, making it superior to Coenzyme Q10.
As with any great find in the anti-aging category, HGH is being sought after by those looking to turn back the hands of time. However, before embarking on this path towards youth, it helps to know what HGH does within the body, as well as the side effects that can occur. When it comes to any drug, it is always better to be safe than sorry.
To get a better idea of what makes HGH so in demand, it helps to know exactly what HGH does. Human growth hormone is a natural substance produced in the pituitary gland. During childhood, HGH is at its highest level. This substance is very important within the body because it is responsible for healing damaged cells and developing new ones. However, as we age, the levels of HGH produced within the body starts to decrease. When this happens, the body is less capable of repairing and reproducing new, healthy cells. The lack of healthy cells and cell damage lead to aging.
One of the easiest ways to take care of your skin is by understanding how the skin operates and how it changes over time. By now most of us are familiar with the terms “dermis” and “epidermis.” But what about the “dermal-epidermal junction?” Despite the funny name, this part of the skin holds all the secrets to aging gracefully.
As we age, our skin changes. It loses its elasticity and can become thin, weak and prone to wrinkles. How can this be prevented? To an extent it can be avoided, however no one is immune to the signs of aging. The main goal of anti-aging products is to decrease and eventually eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The main way to achieve this goal is by keeping deep-set wrinkles from forming in the first place. This means maintaining the Dermal-Epidermal Junction, or DEJ for short.
It’s easy to take a look at any anti-aging product and buy it based on what it claims to treat or cure. However, if you don’t have any previous knowledge on what specific anti-aging ingredients actually do, you could be putting your skin in harm’s way. To ensure each product you test or purchase gives you the best results for your money, find out how the most common ingredients operate and what risks they may carry for your complexion.
