Advanced Skin Care Treatments - What Are Your Options?

By Valerie Rosenbaum

There are many advanced skin care treatment options. The latest advancements have been in the area of cellular rejuvenation. Basically, we are learning how to "de-age" the skin.

For decades, some scientists have been trying to let people know that the way to fight aging is to get lots of nutrients. Hundreds of research papers have been published on the subject. Dozens of books have been written about it. So, the importance of good nutrition shouldn't really be "news". But, it is to some people.

The importance of applying nutrients directly to the skin's surface is news to most people. Nourishing creams have been developed by scientists and studies confirm their effectiveness.

In addition, researchers have confirmed that some of the age old remedies really work. They are more effective and safer than much of the new "stuff".

The major cosmetic companies seem to skirt around the issue of safety. They know that their products contain allergens, irritants and toxins.

They know that most cosmetic users have an adverse reaction at some point in their lives. Usually, the reaction is minor, nothing more than a rash. But, in some cases, it takes a few sessions with a dermatologist to clear up the problem.

The most advanced skin care treatment options do not contain allergens, irritants or toxins. Instead of causing health problems, they can be used to treat them.

One of the ingredients you might find in these new treatments is Babassu wax. Babassu wax is an age old remedy for sunburn, excessive dryness, eczema and inflammation. It comes from a special kind of Brazilian palm tree. It can be used on both dry and oily complexions, because it is non-greasy and does not clog the pores.

That brings to mind another piece of information that you might be interested in. The most advanced skin care treatment options can be used by on any complexion type.

As it turns out, the reason for creating products for oily, dry, combination and sensitive complexions has to do with ingredients called petrolatum and mineral oil. They are some of the most common ingredients in skincare products, even though there are no benefits associated with their use.

They are not moisturizing, because they cannot be absorbed into the skin's layers. They do cause greasiness and irritation. They clog pores and contribute to blemishes.

Instead of getting rid of petrolatum and mineral oil completely, companies started making some products that did not contain those ingredients. Those are the ones for oily complexions.

The most advanced skin care treatment products are free of petrolatum and mineral oil. They contain ingredients like Babassu that can be used on any complexion type.

You sometimes see Babassu combined with nutrients like natural vitamin E, protein and coenzyme Q10. Plant-based oils contain a variety of nutrients, including essential fatty acids.

Some of the best anti-aging creams contain grape seed oil as the base cream. It is particularly beneficial for the delicate area around the eyes.

According to the clinical trials, the most advanced skin care treatment products can moisturize, soften and reduce wrinkles. In other words, they rejuvenate.
