Is Anti Aging Cream Safe?

Anti Aging Topical Skin Care Products

There are all sorts of anti aging products in the market. It's hard to determine nor underpin if they are effective or not given all the over hypes and promotions put up by the big cosmetic and youth preserving industries.

Anti aging and wellness products are categorized as 'cosmetic' in nature and are therefore not regulated by the FDA nor required any approval for sales by the health authority of most countries.

Some of the so-called 'proprietary' core ingredients are not labelled clearly on many of such products. You never know what accumulates into your body and the potential side effects as a result of prolong treatment.

Topical Treatment Not As Safe As You Think

Most people assume that cream applied to skin is quite safe but is that truly the case? On the contrary, the advent in nano technology has made it possible to develop microscopic nano particles that can easily penetrate and enter the blood stream.

Please check out the following site on the possible health dangers associated with nano particles.  You may wonder why more and more companies are utilizing such technology in wellness and health care products. 

Final Thoughts

As of  today, health authority of most countries do not have any unified establish standard body to adhere to so as to regulate and monitor the risk associated with nano particles used in wellness topical products.

As the saying goes, you should not apply stuffs on your skin which you will not put into your mouth. Is anti aging cream safe?  I am not so sure, you be the judge.

How To Slow Down Premature Aging - Balance Body Chemistry


Anti Aging Products Are Big Business

Anti-aging cosmetic products span billion dollar industries. There are all sorts of wellness and so called growing old reversal products targeted both men and women of all ages, sold worldwide with no sign of slowing down. Can these products really preserve youth  ?

Can topical solution, serum or cream applied to the face or the rest of body rejuvenate and slow down premature aging?  Likewise can those hundreds and thousands of brands of vitamin and mineral pills sold worldwide keeps you young?

My wife always make it a point to replenish her stockpiles of Lancome products, specifically those targeting wrinkle, crow feet, sunburn, black spots and etc. One fine day I told her I just use normal soap to for shower and washing my face and I seems to have much better skin complexion than her.

I am not an anti aging experts nor am I qualified to judge and make any claims as to whether all those wellness and cosmetics effective or not. To certain extent I believe some of these products do help; the question though is how effective and whether if there are any side effects.

As the saying goes, beauty is only skin dip; most of the treatment or wellness treatment done on the outside such as the skin as well as supplement intake has limited effect in maintaining youth.

Your body is make up of billions of cells interacting in complex chemistry.  Medical research and studies has shown that accelerated premature aging occurs when the body chemistry becomes unbalance (becomes more acidic in nature).

It All Starts From The Inside

The pH level has tremendous impact on the state of health. Ideally the blood of a healthy person should be in slightly alkaline state, somewhere around 7.5pH.

The human body will do its best to maintain equilibrium, failing of which triggers inflammation; this happens  when the blood becomes too acidic and cause your body chemistry to go haywire . Studies indicates such imbalance condition accelerate the process of growing old.

Some virus and bacteria are known to thrive in acidic environment. Your immune system is affected and your risk of contracting cancer increase multiple fold. Tumor growth is harder to control and managed under acidic pH environment.

Furthermore your body will pull minerals from the bones in attempt to neutralize acidic condition. This has the adverse effect of triggering osteoporosis as your body lose ability to generate bone matrix to replace those that wears off. As a result your bones gets thinner and thinner.

Tips On How To Keep Your Body Chemistry In Balance

Pay attention to the food you eat daily.  Reduce or avoid completely beverages, soft drinks and other processed food laced with additives and pesticides. Most of these processed food are acidic and will overload your body, disrupting ability to maintain balance chemistry.

Did you know that your body generates acid all the time?  The air that you exhale (carbon dioxide) contains carbonic acid.  Your kidney excrete uric acid. You don't need to further overload your internal system by taking more of such food. 

Avoid taking too much fruits that are acidic in nature. Some fruits are high in sugar and acidic content so it is advisable not to consume too much of it. You check out which fruits are alkaline over here.  Take fruits with high anti-oxidant content for instance pomegranate, grapefruit, berries and vegetables that are rich in fiber.

Regular exercise are known to improve blood circulation, regulates and improve growth hormone and overall well being. Make it a point to do some workout to keep your hormone in balance. Get enough quality sleep so that your body can repair and rejuvenate.

Summary

You don't need to resort spending huge amount of money on anti-aging and youth preserving products,  Beauty and health comes from the inside, thus make it a point to live a healthy life style and so long as your body chemistry is maintain properly, you shouldn't worry about getting old too fast.
