There are many different reasons that you're interested in anti-aging and wellness news. Some are because of health concerns. And others are because of concerns about your appearance. For this latter concern, you might have done some studying into cosmeceuticals. If not, now might be the time to start looking into what they can do to improve your appearance.
Cosmeceuticals are exactly what their name indicates: they are prescription drugs that are designed to cosmetically improve appearances. A recent study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology took a look at the cosmeceuticals that are on the market to provide anti-aging solutions to skin that's getting older in appearance.
Here are some of the important findings of the study:
- Niacin is a terrific ingredient for improving irregularities in the skin. It is applied to the skin's exterior to repair the damages of time.
- Peptides and retinoids are useful in diminishing the appearance of fine lines caused by aging. They can be found as ingredients in certain anti-aging moisturizers.
- Photoprotective ingredients in anti-aging cosmeceuticals are successful in evening out the pigmentation of your skin. In other words, it can be used for age spots.
The study also found that the best cosmeceuticals are the ones that use a combination of ingredients mixed with a daily moisturizer to provide anti-aging benefits.
