Ask some people to try an anti wrinkle cream and let you know if
it works and they will tell you their skin looked the same or worse,
didn’t do a thing to erase lines or wrinkles, made their skin too
dry and was a waste of money. Ask a different group to use the same
cream and you may get very different results.
That second group could experience great results in just a few
short weeks. They’ll mention how smooth and moist the application
was. How pleased they were to be able to use it on sensitive skin,
even for those suffering from rosacea. They’ll rave about how the
lines and dark circles almost disappeared. About how much they loved
the anti wrinkle cream and how highly they recommend it. Yet it is
the very same cream used by the group who commented so negatively.
How can that be?
The answer is that any skin care product has different reactions
on different people. Depending on the type of skin you have, an anti
wrinkle cream may or may not work for you. If you find that your
results are not satisfactory, no matter how well the item works on
others, try a different brand. Don’t give up and decide none of the
anti aging lotions work. Instead, find the one that works for you.
It is possible to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, to treat puffy
eyes, and to improve your skin tone. One look at some of the amazing
before and after pictures shown by some skin care companies and you
can hardly wait to take out your money. But before you do that,
learn how the various creams work, how the best ones are tested and
chosen, and which creams are recommended for specific areas of your
face.
As a general rule, look for products with antioxidant vitamins C
and E. To help remove dead outer layers of your skin, look for AHA
(alpha hydroxy acid). Especially when treating wrinkles around your
eyes and mouth, this ingredient helps you to look fresh and young
again.
The cost of an anti wrinkle cream doesn’t necessarily decide its
worth. Some of the least expensive creams work as well or better
than the expensive brands. Don’t be afraid to try a few different
kinds before you find the one that’s best for you.
Applying wrinkle reducing creams to a damp face is more
effective. And don’t forget that the best way to fight wrinkles is
to protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Nothing
makes your skin look old and weathered more than too much exposure
to hot sun. Be good to your skin, including moisturizing with an
effective face cream, and you’ll keep people guessing about your age
for years to come.
