Natural wrinkle remedies are a kind of holy grail for most of us. A natural wrinkle cure? Just a dream.

Skin wrinkles, especially facial wrinkles, send an unmistakable message: this person is getting old. In our world, where youthful skin is prized and old age doesn’t get much respect, wrinkles are frightening.

So in 2007, Americans spent about $14 billion (yes, that’s billion) on facelifts, dermabrasion and other cosmetic surgery and procedures, most of them painful — and sometimes fatal. The highly successful author Olivia Goldsmith, who wrote The First Wives Club, died during cosmetic surgery; so did the mother of pop star Kanye West.

But not many people would pay for expensive, painful — and risky — surgery if they knew natural wrinkle remedies were available.

They think a natural wrinkle cure is impossible.

And they’re wrong.

Today, skin care breakthroughs are making it possible to reverse facial wrinkles through a combination of natural ingredients — nothing made from a petroleum and chemical stew.

The three main causes of skin wrinkles are well-known. They are: loss of collagen and elastin, the most important structural components of skin; lower levels of hyaluronic acid as we age; and oxidation through the action of free radicals

These are the causes of your wrinkles, sagging skin, and the many visible signs of aging. They may seem inevitable. They are not — for many years longer than you think.

Skin care products can now successfully counter all these causes of facial wrinkles. We’ll examine three remarkable ingredients, all refined versions of completely natural substances, that do exactly that.

1. For stimulating collagen and elastin regrowth, CynergyTK is a breakthrough. In clinical trials, it stimulated production of collagen, elastin and new skin cells. As collagen and elastin levels increase, your wrinkles will slowly but surely disappear, and the youthful glow returns to your complexion.

2. Phytessence Wakame, an extract from a Japanese sea kelp, is another refined version of a natural product with the ability to boost hyaluronic acid. It blocks the action of hyaluronidase — the enzyme which breaks down hyaluronic acid in your skin. Hyaluronic acid is essential for soft, healthy, young-looking skin.

3. Anti-oxidants are necessary to destroy free radicals that oxidize and prematurely age the skin. A quality skin care product needs a combination of anti-oxidants, but one of the best is Nano-Lipobelle HE-Q10. This is a third clinically-proven ingredient, an emulsion of the powerful anti-oxident CoQ10 in a special form that can penetrate skin much more deeply than conventional skin care treatments.

Look for them in skin care products. They work beautifully together, and they are genuine natural wrinkle remedies.

It never fails to amaze me the amount of natural wrinkle remedies out there, and most of which, despite the hype, fall short of your expectations. You may not realize that natural wrinkle cure can come in the form of high quality, nourishing skin care products.

The main factor to bear in mind is that we age and get wrinkles and sagging skin because the amount of collagen and elastin our bodies produce decreases with age. These are the most important proteins we need for youthful looking skin.

High quality natural wrinkle remedies will not contain collagen in them, as the molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin, but will actually boost your body’s production of them. This will reduce your fine lines and wrinkles while its antioxidant qualities will heal and nourish your skin.

One of these is called Cynergy TK, extracted from sheep’s wool, and is a type of keratin, which naturally exists in our body. In studies on human volunteers it showed a sustained 14% improvement in skin moisture retention over 18 days and also showed a sustained improvement in skin elasticity of 42% over 18 days.

Surely the best kept natural wrinkle cure comes from Japan, and is called Phytessence wakame. This is extracted from special sea kelp, and the Japanese have been eating this and using it in their beauty care for hundreds of years.

Natural wrinkle remedies that contain this ingredient can help to restore your skins elasticity and smoothness by stopping the activity of an enzyme which breaks down the skins proteins. On top of this it is full of antioxidants, helping to eliminate free radicals which cause illness and premature aging.

This is truly a win-win situation where you can regain your youthful, supple skin and know that you are taking care of yourself in the process. Most of the mass market so-called natural wrinkle cure creams are full of toxic chemicals that have been proven to cause rashes, irritation and worse.

They can strip the skins of natural oils and lower your immune system’s ability to fight off infection, so make sure your product has natural oils rich in antioxidants and vitamins like avocado and grapeseed.

Believe me, once you start to use these natural wrinkle remedies, as I have, you will never go back to the chemically laden products of the past.
