Introduction
If in the past there were few ways to fight against the ageing process, now there are endless methods and products to keep you young and fresh longer than before. You just have to find the anti wrinkle cream which works for your skin.
Anti wrinkle creams are of many types and depending on the ingredients contained and their concentration. Knowing which one is suitable for your skin and also which one has the best results is impossible unless you try them all or unless you are lucky and find it from the first trial. If you want to narrow down your choices, here is what to look for when buying an anti wrinkle cream.
Step 1
Firstly, choose your anti wrinkle cream according to your age. You don’t want to put on your face a product specially formulated to fight against the deep wrinkles of women over fifty years when you are only 25 years old because you might deteriorate the texture of your skin instead of reducing the fine lines. The products designed for advanced ages are much more concentrated and contain much more active ingredients that a young skin can handle.
Step 2
Secondly, since the enemy number one of aging is the sun, always look for anti wrinkle creams that are labeled with at least 15 SPF (solar protection factor). By doing so, you not only delay the aging process significantly, but you also avoid the sun burns and reduce the possibilities to develop skin cancer. In case you have already chosen one without SPF, apply a sunscreen over the anti wrinkle face cream. Take care not to put too much because sunscreens tend to be oily and a greasy skin is the last thing you want.
Step 3
Look for anti wrinkle products which contain one or two of the following ingredients: retinol, hydroxyl acids, coenzyme Q10, copper peptides, kinetin and tea extracts. Retinol is a compound which protects the skin cells from the damaging free radicals; hydroxyl acids enhance skin cell regeneration; coenzyme Q10 is very useful in stimulating the cells to produce beneficial energy; copper peptides reestablish the natural elasticity of the skin; kinetin helps the skin to stay hydrated and promotes the production of collagen; finally, tea extracts are good for reducing inflammations and for healing wounds.
Step 4
To get maximum results, always back up your day anti wrinkle cream with its version for the night. Try to use day and night creams made by the same brand and which belong to the same range of products because these complete each other, meaning that if somehow the day cream doesn’t have an essential ingredient for your wrinkles, the night cream will surely contain it.
Step 5
Also, if you do so, you avoid skin irritations caused by compounds which don’t work together.
Tips
As seen, choosing the best anti wrinkle cream is not so easy when there is such a wide variety of products and brands offering them. The best thing you can do to find the one which works best for your skin, is to narrow down the search by taking into account the criteria mentioned above.
