Light diffusing technology helps dwarf signs of skin aging

Light diffusing technology, known as optical modifiers, used in many skin care and make-up products improves the masking effect of visible signs of skin aging.

The diffusing ingredient is transparent or translucent which utilises light alteration to redirect and reduce reflected light that absorbs, disperses and spreads out light to hide unwanted visual blemishes such as fine lines and wrinkles, according to cosmeticsdesign.com.

Light diffusing technology acts as a filter to the skin, which alters the way it appears to the naked eye, much like diffusion filters used on cameras to soften both lighting and blemishes.

The true benefit of this technology is that it does not completely depend on unnatural looking coverage in order for the product to work effectively.

Nick Morante Cosmetic Consultants president Nick Morante, said the products utilising light diffusion are designed with optical modes to hide the visual signs of aging.

"By reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles they are making the same exact claims as treatment anti-aging products," said Morante.

Japan -based JGC Catalysts and Chemical has minimised the ratio of minerals in their Coverleaf products to produce compounds that have an ideal combination of transmittance, spectral and diffuse reflection, leading the eye to comprehend a beautiful skin.
