Aging Skin Problems

Products designed to alleviate the signs of aging skin are often referred to generically as "wrinkle creams." It's a misleading label, since wrinkles are only part of a complex of conditions that occur in older skin. For truly younger-looking skin to result, each condition must be addressed.

Wrinkles themselves result from the muscular contractions that produce our expressions. These contractions are repeated over and over, resulting in a crease in the skin that deepens over time. Collagen production also slows down as we age, resulting in a loss of overall skin tone and tightness. Sagging skin not only makes wrinkles look deeper, but can also result in unattractive droopiness, especially around the jawline and under the chin.

The number of pigment-containing cells (melanocytes) decreases with age, but those that remain grow larger. as the epidermis thins, they become more prominent, producing brown areas known as age spots or liver spots. The thinner epidermis also makes blood vessels more visible, resulting in dark circles under the eyes, and bagginess can appear there as a result of lessened collagen.

The skin care experts at Janson Beckett Cosmaceuticals have developed new, non-intrusive ways to correct these signs of aging skin. Their flagship products, alpha Derma CE and DermaExcel 7, use a range of peptide compounds that repair wrinkles and prevent the formation of new ones. OkuSil contains ingredients that combat undereye circles and puffiness, while also reducing the fine lines around the eye. Their Vitamin C&C lotion provides antioxidants, which help reduce sun and environmental damage, support the production of collagen, and lighten age spots. By dealing with each issue associated with aging skin individually, these products are much more than "wrinkle creams."
