Our skin suffers a drastic decrease in elasticity as we age. We can look even older than our actual age as wrinkles, age spots and discoloration appear. Several factors cause skin aging. Ultraviolet rays are the primary culprits, in addition to stress, pollution, secondhand smoke and smoking. To counteract these effects and prevent and repair skin damage that leads to aging, many options are available.

For example, sunscreen prevents further UV damage. Reparative methods to reverse the appearance of aging include surgery and procedures such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels. However, only a comprehensive treatment can repair existing damage AND prevent further damage by helping your skin to rejuvenate and protect itself.

What Actions Can be Taken to Reverse and Prevent Photoaging?

Photoaging is when the skin ages over the years due to prolonged or excessive exposure to the sun's rays. Yellowing, wrinkles, age spots, melasma, sun and dark spots and even skin cancer are all effects of UV radiation.

This happens because your skin is 'robbed' of electrons by chemically unstable free radicals found in the environment, rendering it vulnerable to a number of other assaults, as well as increasing the appearance of aging.

How do we prevent photodamage to our skin? A wrinkle cream with the antioxidant action of Helix Aspersa Muller extract could be the answer. This near-miraculous biological solution, extracted from the common brown garden snail, helps skin defend itself through enzyme-proteins and glycoproteins that neutralize the effects of free radicals by supplying them with electrons so they won't have to get them from your skin. This triple-action substance also moisturizes skin and protects it from the invasion of harmful microbes.

The antioxidant power of natural skin care lotions containing Helix Aspersa Muller reduce wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and other negative results of photodamage. Protected from free radicals, your skin can focus its activities on revitalizing and rejuvenating itself, meaning less wrinkles and spots, in addition to a more youthful, firm appearance. Even the healing and regenerating process after chemical peels or laser surgeries can be quickened with this natural solution. Despite daily exposure to the sun, the small garden snail resists damage, and now we are fortunate enough to be able to use the same potent healing substance for the benefit of our own skin.
