The typical anti aging skin care guide comes from a cosmetic company. You might think they are honest and they are likely to believe in their anti aging skin care treatment, but they are primarily interested in getting your money.

One of the best anti aging skin care guides that I came across was created by a dermatologist. The original was not easy to understand, so I'll give you an abbreviated version and cover the highlights.

It's not exactly in "laymen's terms", but the anti aging skin care treatment that Dr. Kligman recommended truly makes sense. Unlike most of the things that you see on TV, it focuses on taking care of the skin's health, in order to prevent additional problems and improve appearance.

It seems logical that a dermatologist would write an anti aging skin care guide, but in reality that is unusual. They don't regularly believe that a topically applied anti aging skin care treatment can have a positive result. Like most doctors, they usually believe in injections, drugs and other more mainstream medical solutions.

A doctor named Albert Kligman stated that by taking care of the outermost of the skin's layers, the health of the inner layers would be protected. He recommended different treatments depending on the condition, but for each ingredient, he believed that the manufacturing process should be clear and exact for the product to be effective. That's the main rationale why we often find an anti aging skin care treatment that's ineffective. More likely than not, the ingredients are right but the manufacturing process is wrong.

In his anti aging skin care guide, Dr. Kligman recommended some ingredients called peptides. They are very small particles of amino acid proteins found in the skin. These amino acids he recommended are hyaluronic acid and keratin.

Companies have tried to use keratin, but the peptide chains were rendered inactive by the manufacturer. Only "Functional Keratin", which is created using a patented process, has active peptide chains and so encourages the production of collagen. It also reduces wrinkles and fine lines, from the "outside-in".

Hyaluronic acid increases firmness, but it is quickly destroyed through an enzymatic process that occurs in the skin's layers. The best anti aging skin care treatment contains an extract from Japanese kelp that blocks the enzymatic process, so levels of hyaluronic acid natural rise.

Another ingredient Dr. Kligman recommended in his anti aging skin care guide was grape seed extract, because they are free radical scavengers. Grape seed oil is also an effective moisturizer and creates an invisible layer that keeps in moisture. Moist skin has less of a tendency to crack and wrinkle.

Dr. Klingman also advocated, for an anti aging skin care treatment, the use of special composites that change the reflection of the light, in order for the consumer to see instant results. That suggestion was mainly oriented to affect the disposition of the consumer, because many people become unhappy with their appearance.

Functional Keratin has demonstrated to have the ability to reflect the light, but there are two main reasons why it is a better choice. First, it improves the skin's health and second it is not just a cosmetic like other compounds. A complete anti aging skin care guide would be extensive and include a lot more information, yet this can be sufficient information to lead you in the right direction.
