"Skin Beauty... Do Antiaging Creams Really Turn Back the Clock?" by Warren Matthews

If you believe the television advertisements for skin care products, then, your answer would be a definite yes. These TV commercials suggest that if you use this or that product

that you too can have a flawless and beautiful complexion and, by subtle inference be happy.

But, is this reality or an illusion?

It's a combination of both a partial reality and illusions. With the majority of skin products it is definitely an illusion as most women over thirty would attest to. Many products can certainly make your skin look better at the time of application

but the real test is when all the make up is washed off.

Generally the fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes and sagging of skin still remain!

Having said that, there are however a few natural products that will help with firming up the skin and reducing fine lines and blemishes but you have to accept that there are limitations to what they can do on their own. More about this later in the article!

So, what is the answer... plastic surgery? Many people obviously think that it is, given the booming cosmetic

plastic surgery industry. But is it? In my opinion definitely not! I have met quite a number of people that have had plastic surgery and I have not been impressed.

I remember just a few years ago meeting up with some old friends from St Louis for dinner in Palm Beach Florida.

My friends who were in their late 70's brought along a friend who would have been in her early 60's. It was

apparent that this friend had had a number of plastic surgery procedures on her face and not all of them were

successful. I remember thinking at the time that she would have looked better without them.

Of course that is not always the case. Some people get really good results, but they are very much dependent

upon the skill of the surgeon. So, the risks are high.

So, what causes skin to age which results in sagging, wrinkles and blemishes?

If you want to maintain clear, healthy, and firm skin into old age you need to know this. So ... here is the

brief version ... FREE RADICALS. That's it in a nutshell.

I am sure that you have heard about free radicals and you may even know exactly what they are, but nonetheless

I will give you a quick briefing about them.

Even though free radicals age our bodies and skin they are a natural and essential part of life. They are

everywhere, inside our body and out. They are more concentrated in the cities or anywhere there is any

form of environmental pollution. Sunlight also creates free radicals.

It is possible to see the effect of them quite dramatically when you cut an apple open and leave it exposed to the air. The parts without the skin

quickly go brown. This is because it is being attacked by these free radicals. If they were not there then nothing would decompose and the whole planet would be a massive garbage dump.

So, what exactly are they? They are oxygen molecules that have lost an electron through interaction with

other molecules. As with everything in nature an effort is made (in this case the molecule) to heal itself!
