›› Anti Aging Cream
Reversing the
effects of age on your appearance is a very popular subject
today. With the first of the Baby Boomer generation coming
into retirement age, there are more and more people around that are
interested in ways to look younger. There are literally
thousands of different anti-aging creams on the market today.
Since women are especially concerned with the effects of age to their
skin, most of these anti-aging creams are marketed towards women, but
many men have turned to their use as well.
So do any of these anti-aging creams work at all? And what do
they do exactly? The answer to if they work or not is yes, no
and sort of all rolled into one. Most of these anti-aging
skin products will produce the appearance of reduced wrinkles, which
can be noticeable in even just a few weeks of consistent use.
However, there aren’t any known anti-aging creams that will
actually eliminate wrinkles or otherwise permanently reverse aging
effects to your skin.
Anti-aging creams will remove layers of dead skin, and hydrate the
lower layers giving them a plumper and fuller look that helps reduced
the appearance of wrinkles. The wrinkles are not permanently
removed, and will reappear after the discontinued use of the
product. Therefore, you have to keep applying it everyday and
will go through a lot of it quite fast. Since the cost of
many of these ant-aging creams is not cheap, maintaining the reduced
wrinkle effect they offer can become expensive.
You can achieve a somewhat fuller, plumper skin appearance by using
less expensive moisturizers. The only scientifically tested
and proven anti-aging cream ingredients are vitamin C and E, as well as
Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). These three ingredients are proven
to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but there are likely many other
ingredients that will produce similar effects. Results of any
particular product will vary from user to user, and a good strategy
would be to try several different brands before settling on one that
works best for you.
Anti-aging creams aside, the two most effective things you can do to
slow down the appearance of wrinkles is not smoke, and apply sunscreen
at the beginning of everyday if you plan on being outside for more than
ten minutes. SPF 15 or higher is recommended. As
much as you may want a tan, excessive UV exposure is a sure way to
bring on wrinkled skin before its time.
