The Smart Search for Wrinkle Cream
There are numerous wrinkle creams and anti-aging beauty products available, so what’s a girl or
a guy to do when searching for the right one to fit their needs? Here, we have a look at some useful
criteria in reading labels, comparing brands, as well as on selecting the right wrinkle cream to provide
you with the results you need.
1) Wrinkle Minimization
Which kind of claims can anti-wrinkle cream “A” make verses anti-wrinkle cream “B”? Is one proven to
reduce facial lines while the other is not? Go online and browse wrinkle cream reviews and find out
what other customers have to say. Remember that everyone’s skin reacts differently, but also be aware
that an overwhelming number of positive or negative reviews don’t lie. This should tell you a great deal
about the product(s) you are considering.
2) Time Frame
We live in a society that craves instant gratification. Nobody wants to have to wait months to observe
results, although with many anti-wrinkle creams that’s exactly what you’ll need to do. Logically, no
cream is going to give you immediate results, and you may have to wait a couple weeks to a few months
for maximum effect. What’s important to remember is that whichever anti-wrinkle cream you choose
has to be worked into your daily routine in order to be effective.
3) Ingredients
Ever try reading the ingredient list on cosmetics? Well, anti-wrinkle creams are no different. Sometimes,
it feels like you need a biology degree to understand what they are. Look up the important (active)
ingredients. Anti-wrinkle creams which contain Vitamin A are medically proven to reduce the
appearance of facial wrinkles by stimulating cell growth and exposing new skin. Sometimes these
powerful ingredients may cause irritation, especially in sensitive skin, although over-the-counter anti-
wrinkle creams have lower doses than prescription ones. Be certain to be aware of the side effects of
any new product, and test it on a small area before applying it to the entire face.
4) Value
With the amount of cosmetic and beauty products promising to make you look slimmer, sleeker, sexier
and younger, it’s difficult to know which ones to trust. Wrinkle creams can be a pretty good investment,
especially since they are a multi-use product that helps to moisturize, protect, renew and reinvigorate.
Many wrinkle creams contain sunscreen, which is one less product that you need to purchase.
You may have to test a couple of anti-wrinkle creams until you find the best one for your skin,
but the suggestions above should enable you to narrow it down. And as soon as you’ve found that
perfect product, you’ll never look back.
The Best Wrinkle Cream for Your Skin Type
Walk into any drug store or department store and you’ll be greeted with countless skin care
products which claim to fix just about any problem that you could potentially have. When it comes to
picking an anti-wrinkle cream, it’s vital that you understand what to look for and which ingredients are
ideal for your type of skin.
Skin typically falls into one of these types: normal, oily, dry or combination. The type of skin that
you have determines which kind of skin care products and anti-wrinkle eye cream you can use.
Unsurprisingly, the condition of the skin actually changes as time passes. For example, a teenage girl
may have extremely oily skin in her teens but discover that her complexion is much more normal or dry
as she enters her 20s or 30s. It is natural for skin’s oil production to decrease over time, making some
women more susceptible to wrinkles than others as their skin becomes drier. Although some women
might think that oily skin is a disadvantage, but that actually couldn’t be farther from the truth. Skin’s
natural oils actually help to reduce the number of wrinkles and fine lines, making individuals with dry
skin more prone to wrinkles. Other environmental and genetic factors also increase the likelihood that
skin will become more wrinkled later in life.
Oily Skin Even if you have oily skin, it’s still necessary to use a wrinkle cream that moisturizes. However, be sure
that you avoid oil based wrinkle creams.
Dry Skin For people who have dry skin, an anti-wrinkle cream that provides good skin hydration is key to lock in
moisture.
Combination Skin It’s actually a great idea for ladies with combination skin to apply different products on different parts of
their face. An under-eye wrinkle cream which has a heavy moisture base, along with a light SPF
moisturizer could be the perfect combination for somebody with dry and normal type skin.
Sensitive Skin When you have sensitive skin, the most effective wrinkle cream is one which will protect without
causing any inflammation or irritation. Avoid wrinkle creams with Vitamin A or hydroxy acids, because
these products might be too powerful for your skin. Also avoid anything with perfume or artificial
coloring, since these may cause an adverse reaction. Look instead for gentle products with low
concentrations, to build up your skin’s tolerance.
