Choosing Anti Wrinkle Creams
If you smile frequently, squint or make any sort of facial expression,
there is no question you will get wrinkles on your face. It happens to
the best of us. Trust me, even if you slept your entire life on your
back and never squished your face onto a pillow, you would still get
wrinkles. Step outdoors into the sun. Zap!, you’re stuck with
wrinkles.
But, don’t feel discouraged. Thanks to scientific progress in
beauty care, there is a way to prevent wrinkles. If you already have
them, never fear, anti wrinkle products can also serve your needs very well. Buy a daily anti aging face cream
with a sun protection factor (SPF) in it. You’ll be grateful. The
following active ingredients are important to look for when researching
the best anti wrinkle face creams:
- Look for retinol in your anti wrinkle face cream.
It is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals that break down
skin cells which in turn causes wrinkles. It’s in our foods, like
blueberries and should also be in our anti wrinkle face cream.
- Buy anti aging face creams with either natural (like fruit) or manufactured alpha hydroxyl acids.
You’ll love what they do. Alpha hydroxyl acids remove the upper layer
of dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of smooth new skin with a
bright even texture. After consistent usage, your face will have a
younger, fresher appearance. (Remember: always use a sunscreen over
these anti wrinkle face creams, if your anti wrinkle face cream doesn’t
have one in it, or wear a foundation with an SPF. Alpha hydroxyl acids
will make you more prone to sunburn which causes wrinkles, something
we’re trying to avoid or at least minimize.)
- Choose an anti wrinkle face cream with copper peptides listed as one of the ingredients
because it will stimulate collagen production. Cell renewal is
naturally constant. We lose collagen as we age and anti aging face
creams that stimulate its return will give the skin a firmer,
plumped-up look.
- Kinetin in your anti aging face cream will improve the look of your wrinkles and even out varying skin pigmentation and blotchiness. It helps the skin retain moisture and stimulates collagen production.
- You may like to drink it, tea, that is, but find it in your anti aging face cream and you’ll benefit from it’s soothing properties inside and out.
If
you have oily skin, be sure to select an anti aging face cream that
suits you, maybe a gel-based one. If you have dry skin, a heavier anti
wrinkle face cream will serve you well, especially in the dry winter
months. People living in cooler climates with constant heat attacking
their skin need tender loving care for their skin which already suffers
from the effects of the environment. Either way, don’t skip or
minimize the importance of great daytime and nighttime anti wrinkle face creams.
You’ll be grateful you took the time to apply it 365 days a year. Put
it in the same category of importance as brushing your teeth.
