Isn't it quite a chore to keep up with all the anti aging product trends of the past few years? And shouldn't the quest to look more beautiful be an exciting time? Perhaps because of all the flase or misleading claims by companies citing "super" ingredients for quick fixes, we have become disappointed in shopping for new eye skin care and as a result, don't think anything really works. Most women and men out there are struggling to find the right product for their eye skin care needs. In an effort to make this process easier, here is a guide for selecting a line of skin care that's right for you. The right product should keep up with these trends for 2009.
Trend 1: Cosmeceuticals. Cosmeceuticals are among the products people are starting to pay attention to simply because it makes sense. Mixing cosmetics and pharmaceuticals in effort to medicinally relieve certain problem areas like puffy eyes and dark circles is pure genious - especially when so many people need more than the over-the-counter strength skin care lines that are available. Cosmeceuticals are on the rise due to scientific advancements in ingredients and breakthrough technologies. Clinique Medical Skin Care is a perfect example of this new approach to anti aging skin care which is introduced by Clinique (a maker of cosmetics) and Allergan (a leader in medical aesthetics). Some cosmeceuticals, like Clinique Medical, are available only at a doctors office, while others popular ones like Perricone MD are readily available just about anywhere online.
Trend 2: Caffeine and peptides. Products containing peptides and caffeine are starting to be used more and more. Studies are fairly inconclusive as to what the long term benefits are, but caffeine is shown to reduce eye bags and increase circulation while peptides are said to have anti-inflammatory properties to aid in acne and other more serious skin conditions. Anti aging peptides will continue to be at the forefront of age-reducing product lines in your local drugstore. A study at the World Congress of Dermatology in Paris found that a 50% reduction in eye wrinkles is possible when the skin is treated with a high concentration of peptides. Home remedies also suggest using the caffeine properties in tea to relieve puffy eyes.
Trend 3: Topical antiseptics and anti-inflammatories. You will continually see these antiseptics and anti-inflammatories in anti aging skin creams and makeup: tea tree leaf, lavender oils, and algae extracts as they provide healing to delicate facial skin. Anti-inflammatories are especially on the up-rise as inflammation in parts of our bodies is what leads to so many degenerative diseases and skin conditions.
Trend 4: Skin care starting on the inside. With so much attention on the proven benefits of antioxidants, products as well as supplements are continually being developed to cater to peoples desire to eat healthier to improve their skin. With this, cosmetic companies are now including antioxidants, nutraceuticals, botanicals, and green tea in their skin care. These are believed to penetrate the skin quickly to nourish and protect the skin. Dermalogica is one such skin care line that offers potent antioxidants in support of this trend. Some potent antioxidants that you will be hearing a lot about, thus seeing in skin care are: goji berry, turmeric root extract, resveratrol from grapes, and acai.
Trend 5: Probiotics. Skin care lines are introducing probiotics into their formulations. The term probiotics refers to foods that contain the "good" type of bacteria that are similar to those found in your body. The recently introduced Activia by Dannon is one such example that offers our body this helpful bacteria. There is a growing scientific interest in probiotics and what they can do for your body. The companies who are adding probiotics to their skin care lines believe that it can exfoliate and soften the skin. The catch though is that most available research of this nature supporting that there are skin benefits, are referring to when probiotics are taken internally, not topically.
Perhaps this guide will help you make a more educated decision when you are on your way to buying an eye skin care product. It's important to keep up with the trends in skin care as they are always finding new and more natural ingredients that are beneficial for the skin as opposed to their synthetic and chemical counterparts. And the companies that can adapt to these trends and embrace them are the ones that truly provide the best products and offer the best results. - 15252
