What product should I use to help my skin look younger?

This is a popular question. I think using a product that is loaded with antioxidants may give us the best results in the long term. Why? There is a lot of research showing that antioxidants play an important role in reducing UV damage from the sun, as well as free radical damage from pollution, smoking, stress and other sources of irritants to your skin. Free radical damage is a primary cause of fine lines and wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity. Antioxidants topically applied may help stop or slow down future damage and may help reverse existing skin damage. Some common antioxidants include vitamins A, C, and E; beta carotene; flavonoids; glutathione; green tea; grape seed extract and pomegranate. Remember, there is no magic fountain of youth, but antioxidants may help make your skin look and feel younger.

I found a new product that looks promising for those interesting in a healthy dose of topical antioxidants:

Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Fortifying Serum is a brand new multivitamin and nutrient-enriched face serum. It works by providing antioxidant protection from free radicals such as pollution, smoke, UV damage and other irritants in the environments, as well as from the effects of stress. It is designed to help skin the skin repair past damage such as pigmentation and loss of elasticity and it helps stimulate collagen and elastin production. This improves skin's tone and texture.

The active ingredient is dimethicone, which is a barrier that helps prevent external irritants and potential free radicals from the environment from entering the skin. It also helps keep moisture in the skin. Other key ingredients include Glycosaminoglycans, which are marine-derived complex proteins that help rebuild collagen; pomegranate extract and Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium, Ascorbyl Phosphate), potent antioxidants; and Bambusa Vulgaris Extract (Bamboo Extract) which has anti-inflammatory properties.

Who Should Use Cosmedicine MegaDose Skin Fortifying Serum:

People concerned about loss of elasticity in their skin, or have sun damage and discoloration, or those who seek a product to help smooth and even out their skin texture and minimize their fine links and wrinkles. Clinical trials using state-of-the-art high resolution tools measured a 63% increase in protection against free radical activity caused by UV radiation.

Bargain of the Month

I found a great product with a formula similar to Strivectin SD for a fraction of the cost. It is called Swanson Ultra Stria Smooth and it's made by Swanson Health products. You get 6 oz for $19.99! You could have 5 or 6 bottles for what one tube of Strivectin costs! Swanson sells vitamins and supplements and some skincare products at terrific discounts, both their own brands and national brands. I buy my vitamins from them, and have for years. They are very reliable and have great prices.
