Anti Wrinkle Home Remedies
In the search for anti-aging solutions and anti wrinkle creams, some home remedies have been suggested as miracle cures for a fraction of the price of the more expensive items available today. There are many ways to approach the skin aging and wrinkling process that starts naturally as part of aging. It can also be exacerbated by other things, like overexposure to the sun, many people are trying various products with good outcomes.
The eye area is the most delicate. The natural aging process, as well as over exposure to the sun’s rays, can damage delicate skin. Puffiness around the eyes can cause stretching of the skin which result in wrinkles when there’s a return to normal. Preparation H has been rumored to have been used by the model industry for years to prevent this skin damage. Even though the drug maker, Wyeth, does not recommend the product be used in this manner and cautions that Preparation H shouldn’t be used near the eye or mouth area.
There are countless testimonials that these tactic works. How it works, is what needs to be considered. In the original formula of Prep H, that was created back in the 30’s it contained Biodyne, (which is often called LYCD, live yeast culture developments). A shark liver oil, which have potent anti-oxidant powers and used in many cancer treatments because of the slowing of cell turnover. Over 10 years ago, the FDA stopped the use of these ingredients in Prep H and today’s formula now uses phenylephrine, which is a type of astringent. Although, people that continue to use it in anti-aging and wrinkle treatment still say that it works. It could be that the other ingredients it contains, like mineral oil, petrolatum, corn oil, lanolin and thyme oil, might be the ingredients that are providing wrinkle reduction.
Before, olive oil was suggested to be a home remedy that caused wrinkle reduction. It has also been shown that shark liver oil can now be created synthetically from olives, rice and wheat germ, as additive in anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams. Anyone can still buy the original formula Preparation H with Biodyne and LYCD as well as shark oil from Canada, and lots of people do, because it is still cheaper than many treatments that claim to include these ingredients.
Cocoa Butter products have also been suggested to combat the effects of aging and excessive sun exposure. Cocoa butter owes its rejuvenating effects to the intense oil content found in products. The Internet has fast become a popular place to source anti-aging creams or anti-wrinkle creams. On the Internet, products that contain LYCD’s and shark liver oil are common, but do not have the same level of content as the original Preparation H includes. The current form of Preparation H include a blood vessel constrictor that minimizes swelling. Its maker does not recommend its use around the eye area for prolonged period of time.
