Wrinkle Creams- The Best Option To Fight Aging

By Raje Pial

While using the anti wrinkle creams there certain points to be remembered like-

UV protection from the sun: Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light speeds up the natural aging process of your skin, causing wrinkles and rough, blotchy skin. It is the main reason of aging of your skin. Protect your skin " and prevent future wrinkles " by limiting the time you spend in the sun and always wearing protective clothing and hats. Also, use sunscreen when outdoors, even in winter.

Choose products with built-in sunscreen. When selecting skin-care products, choose those with a built-in sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Also, be sure to select products that block both UVA and UVB rays.

Use moisturizers. Dry skin turns plump skin cells into shriveled ones, creating fine lines and wrinkles long before you're due. Though moisturizers can't prevent wrinkles, they can temporarily mask tiny lines and creases.

Don't smoke. Smoking causes narrowing of the blood vessels in the outermost layers of your skin. It also damages collagen and elastin " fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. As a result, skin begins to sag and wrinkle prematurely.

Keeping these points in mind one must opt for anti wrinkle creams which have the following ingredients:

Tea extracts. Green, black and oolong tea contain compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Kinetin. A plant growth factor, kinetin may improve wrinkles and uneven pigmentation with minimal irritation.

Hydroxy acids. Alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids and poly hydroxy acids are all synthetic versions of acids derived from sugar-containing fruits. These acids are exfoliants " substances that remove the upper layer of old, dead skin and stimulate the growth of smooth, evenly pigmented new skin. - 23802
