Selecting The Best Anti-Wrinkle Treatment

By Joslyn Gayle


Why have humans been looking for the mysterious "fountain of youth" for decades? If you look in the mirror and discover less than a perfect complexion, you already know the reason why. Humans don't want to look in their reflection and see the consequences of aging on their skin. They want to maintain their young-looking radiance well into their older years, and you're probably no exception. For this reason anti aging creams tend to be an extremely lucrative business today.

If you choose wisely, there are many of these skin creams that are safe, effective and can take years off your looks. In addition, many of them do not require that you undergo any medical procedure, making them a very convenient solution to your wrinkle problems. However, not all of them will be equally effective for your particular situation or skin type.

Ingredients And Tips

One of the most popular ingredients for skin creams today is retinol. This ingredient is effective at combating the free radicals that can cause the skin to break down and wrinkle. The problem is that retinol is unsafe for pregnant women. If there is any chance that you could get pregnant, you do not want to use facial creams that list retinol as the main ingredient.

Tea extracts may also be seen on labels for the best anti-wrinkle skins. Tea is a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory benefits. Tea extracts may also contain kinetin which is effective for moisturizing the skin and producing collagen for greater elasticity in the skin. Finally, tea extracts can be used as exfoliation elements. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. When the skin is effectively exfoliated, new skin cells can take the place of dead cells. The skin is healthier and stronger with a fresher appearance when regular exfoliation is performed.

The substance Coenzyme Q10 is very beneficial in helping to remove the wrinkles that develop around and below the eyes. It has also been proven helpful in protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. When using an anti-wrinkle cream that contains this substance, you may not need a separate sunscreen.

Today you will find many different anti wrinkle treatments available. In fact, you can buy them over the counter, without you needing to get a prescription from a doctor. Knowing what to look for will help to make the process of choosing the right product for your needs much easier.

While active ingredients are primary concern when selecting an anti-aging cream, you also have to consider any negative side effects. You can find warnings about potential side effects on the packaging, but you may also want to look up some active ingredients not listed here just to make sure they are safe. The most typical side effect is skin irritation which may involve a rash or redness.

It is essential to follow the guidance on frequency of use as well. If you buy a daily skin cream, you only want to use it once per day. Consider using an under eye gel for dark circles and puffiness if you notice indications of aging near the eyes. The skin around the eyes tends to be more delicate compared to the face and should be addressed appropriately. If you purchase a night cream, then it should be used at night. The same goes for creams that are designed for weekly or monthly use. Do not fall into the trap of reasoning "the more the merrier." You do not want to harm your skin.

Keep all the above in mind and you should be able to find the right product that will help get rid of your wrinkles.
