 Growing up we all heard stories about the search for the Fountain of Youth, the magical spring that could restore youth and vitality to anyone drinking its waters According to history, Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon's left Europe to search miraculous anti aging cure.
While his expedition led him to discover Florida, de Leon never found his immortal prize. But his legendary story gives people hope that there is a way to live longer and look younger through one simple solution.
Even hundreds of years later, people all over the world continue to search for ways to stop or slow down the effects of time and age.
Of course, feeling younger and looking younger are two different things. A lot of people I meet and talk to say feeling youthful is important, but so is showing it. They say it’s good to be “young at heart,” so why not look it.
I know many people who´ve tried anti aging creams, anti wrinkle creams and other products to help in their quest for youth. But because every person´s skin is different, there is no one solution to aging.
That means, trying different techniques, fads, creams, solutions and diets to see what best works for your skin. Many people I talk to say the successful treatments they’ve used are those designed to build collagen. While everyone’s heard of collagen, I’m not sure many of us know what it actually does. Before researching this article, I thought collagen was simply something famous actresses used to make their lips overly full and plump.
Collagen is actually a natural protein that acts like a building block for skin, giving it structure and strength. Doctors say a lack of collagen, in areas like the forehead or around mouth and eyes, is the reason we develop wrinkles. Bottom line? Collagen is a good thing for your face … when used correctly.
In fact, there are number of collagen based anti aging creams and anti wrinkle creams on the market. But, their success is limited and their treatments are temporary at best. Recently, I had the chance to learn about a product that takes use of collage to a whole new level. It’s called ELASTIderm; it’s a new anti aging cream from Obagi Medical products. ELASTIderm is not like other creams which are made for your entire face. Instead, ELASTIderm is made specifically to target the skin around your eyes.
According to Obagi, ELASTIderm uses bi-mineral complex called Copper Zinc Malonate to help restore the elasticity around your eyes and reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles. That’s great news for anyone dealing with crow’s feet and other visible signs of age in that area.
And the best part, Obagi ELASTIderm works fast. In many cases, you will see results in two weeks if used correctly.
As I stated earlier, everyone´s skin is different. That´s why Obagi has developed two types of ELASTIderm; one is a creme, the other is a gel based product.
Before buying ELASTIderm, make sure you choose the formula that’s right for your unique type of skin.
If you have normal to dry skin, live in either a cool or arid climate and prefer the smoother feel of a cream product, you may want to select the ELASTIderm Eye Cream.
For those of you with normal to oily skin, living in more tropical or humid parts of the world and like the fluid texture of a gel product, then you may want to select the ELASTIderm Eye Gel.
According to www.obagiskincare.net, you should apply ELASTIderm two times a daily. Apply it once in morning right after you shower, wash your face thoroughly. That way, it will stay with you throughout the day. Obagi experts say it is a good idea to apply sunscreen after applying ELASTIderm, especially if you're going to spend the day out in the sun.
You will have to again, right before you go to bed so the product can work hard while you are getting your beauty sleep.
