Let's face it. If you want to know how to make skin look younger, you need to know what causes it to look older. Most skincare products do not address the primary causes of an aged appearance, so obviously, they are ineffective.

The primary causes of an aged appearance are free radical damage, reduced production of skin cells and elastic fibers and low levels of hyaluronic acid. Chronic inflammation also plays a role. There are creams that can help wit that, but avoiding chronic inflammation usually means changing the type of cosmetics and other skincare products that you use.

If a cleanser burns or stings, it is causing inflammation. If you regularly use exfoliants or face scrubs, you are damaging your skin's health and this will negatively affect your appearance, as time goes by. Ingredients that cause allergic reactions in some people are not safe for others to use, either. The big cosmetic companies have gotten away with including known toxins, allergens and irritants for years, by blaming adverse reactions on skin sensitivity, leading people to believe that it's their fault for having sensitive skin.

Since avoiding inflammation is a big part of how to make skin look younger, you need to avoid ingredients that are common allergens, toxins and irritants. They include petrolatum, mineral oil, paraffin, parabens, added fragrance, all artificial preservatives and all petrochemicals. The list of petrochemicals that are included in skincare products is too long to include in this article. The best way to find products that do not contain them is to look for all-natural ingredients.

No one knows why older skin has lower levels of hyaluronic acid, but we do know that enzymatic activity that breaks down the important compound increases with age. Extracts from wakame kelp have been shown to inhibit that enzymatic activity by 52% over the course of five days.

Many people have said that using wakame was how to make skin look younger and keep it beautiful. Now science has proven them correct.

The reason you only saw "minimal results " is because facial acupressure and emu oil CANNOT rejuvenate or in anyway "anti-aging ". Besides, the word "anti-aging " is a misnomer. Let us assume that emu oil is indeed anti-aging, then when you use it, you should stop aging; however, this is surely not the case! There is no silver bullet. No oils in the world is anti-aging or rejuvenating. You should not be credulous to someone like Makunda M. Oils can be moisturizing and some have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Massaging just move your facial skin and tissue around - that is it. The thing is: there is no research supporting emu oil to rejuvenate skin or any oil for that matter. There is no research supporting facial massages either. No matter how many oils you put on your skin and how much you massage it, if you do not use the a broad-spectrum sunscreen, you will be aging fast. Here is what works (and I provide sources below): I will list five rejuvenating ingredients (besides sunscreen, of course - this is a given): 1) Prescription Retinoid (Renova or Tazorac) 2) Over-the-Counter Retinol 3) Glycolic acid 4) Vitamin C 5) Vitamin E Cheers!
