Time passes even if don’t want it to, and it also leaves its traces on our body. Sometimes we would like to have the ability to stop the time and to look 10 or 15 years younger. This can be achieved by understanding well the processes that are at the base of the aging of our organism and choosing the right remedy for correct the aging effects.

One cause of aging may be the free radicals. They are molecules that have electrons without pairs. These molecules appear as a result of the oxidation process. The excessive quantity of free radicals can harm the body and the skin, and is believed to be the cause of some of the most dangerous and widespread diseases. But in a certain quantity the free radicals can also be beneficial to the body. Also some wrinkles appear as a result of a long exposure to water, this type of wrinkles are called sometimes water aging or prune fingers. In these cases the skin on the palms of both hand and feet is affected. This is because the changes in the keratin from the skin in the contact with water. In the process the skin increases in volume and afterwards the resultant bigger surface area forces it to wrinkle. This is why a basic method to prevent and correct wrinkles is the efficient moisture of the epidermis. A well moisturized skin has a lesser tendency to develop wrinkles. Some creams can prevent wrinkles using a moisturizing effect and making the skin elastic. This allows a stretching and tightening of the skin, which does not create wrinkles. Another cause of skin aging is the balance between the existence of too many free radicals and the lack of antioxidants in the body. If in the organism is an imbalance of these two elements, a person will age faster and the wrinkles will be more visible. Also the exposure to the sun rays, and especially to the UV radiation of the sun influences the structure of the skin, affecting especially the elastic fibers and collagen.
