In the search for anti-aging solutions and anti wrinkle creams, some home remedies have been suggested as miracle cures for a fraction of the price of the more expensive items available today. There are many ways to approach the skin aging and wrinkling process that starts naturally as part of aging. It can also be exacerbated by other things, like overexposure to the sun, many people are trying various products with good outcomes.
Because eye puffiness can expand skin around the eye area, and then it becomes stretched over a period of time, it can cause wrinkles when it constricts. For years, models have been said to use Preparation H in the eye area for puffiness, although it is not recommended by the drug’s maker, Wyeth as they caution to not get any near the eye or mouth area. The principle behind this usage is the shrinking of a swollen area when used as directed, and so it is based on the premise that keeping eye puffiness to a minimum will keep the skin from stretching, and that new “un-stretched” cells eventually appear and have a more youthful appearance.
Despite the maker’s reluctance to promote this type of use, there are many people who swear by its use to reduce puffiness around the eyes and the damage that results from such swelling. Just how it works is not rocket science, but does require a little reading to fully understand. The original formula of Preparation H dates back to the 1930’s and contained a substance called Biodyne, also called LYCD (live yeast culture development) it also included shark liver oil, a substance with powerful antioxidant qualities and used to treat forms of cancer because it slows down the turn over of cells. These ingredients are no longer used, but people still say the cream works well as an anti-aging, anti-wrinkle treatment, so attention has been directed to its other ingredients such as mineral oil, petrolatum, corn oil, lanolin and thyme oil.
Before, olive oil was suggested to be a home remedy that caused wrinkle reduction. It has also been shown that shark liver oil can now be created synthetically from olives, rice and wheat germ, as additive in anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams. Anyone can still buy the original formula Preparation H with Biodyne and LYCD as well as shark oil from Canada, and lots of people do, because it is still cheaper than many treatments that claim to include these ingredients.
Cocoa Butter products also have been suggested as good skin rejuvenators, and can be seen in many anti-aging ream formulas, as well as many sun repair creams. In conclusion, it could be that the benefits may come from within the intense oil content of the products and emollient properties. There are many anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams for sale on the Internet, which claim to contain LYCD’s or shark liver oil, however, nothing like the original Prep H formulation. Preparation H in its current form has a blood vessel constrictor, this is what reduces the swelling effect. It is not suggested that it be around the eye area for a prolonged period of time.
