ANTI-WRINKLE FACE CREAMS
Skin Care Creams
The latest generation of skin rejuvenation and skin
care creams have progressed significantly, with many
now being highly rated by dermatologists and users alike.
Prior to this, the only real anti-wrinkle option was
a combination of Botox
injections and dermal fillers. Acceptance of these treatments
has been constrained due to the high costs and the controversy
surrounding the botox Botulinum Toxin. Wrinkle free skin
is now available to all, at a reasonable cost, and administered
by the user at home.
Daily, non-toxic, injection-free substitutes for Botox
are providing similar effects. These simple creams and
concentrate serums eliminate of facial lines and wrinkles
caused by excessive pressure of the facial muscles. "Crow's
feet", forehead lines, smile lines, and other areas
on the face can appear much smoother after a twice-daily
application.
What Causes Wrinkles?
Wrinkles are caused by many factors as we age.
- The epidermis, the outer layer, thins with age
causing dryness
- The dermal layer, the second layer decreases in
collagen and the elastin fibers that provide elasticity
wear out causing the skin to wrinkle and sag
- In the subcutaneous layer the fat cells get smaller
with age, leading to more noticeable wrinkles and
sagging as the fat cells can no longer replace the
damage from the other layers. The end result - increased
wrinkles!
Key Antiaging Cream Ingredients
Many years of research has gone into searching out
the ideal antiaging formula. Scientists, dermatologists
and plastic surgeons have discovered that a range of
natural ingredients and vitamin extracts significantly
help slow down and even reverse the signs of aging skin.
The
ingredients, all benefiting skin themselves also interact
with other ingredients to boost their effectiveness and
to act as transport systems to reach the deeper layers
of the skin. Some are particularly effective in their
antioxidant
capabilities, such that they repair
the skin damage and make it more receptive to the collagen
and elastin producing properties of other ingredients.
Most quality anti-aging skin care products include
the following group of ingredients:
Expected Anti-Wrinkle Cream Results
Results of using the latest advances in skin creams
vary from person to person. No product produces ‘overnight’
effects, but visible differences in skin condition should
be evident in 4-8 weeks.
For best results consult with a skin care professional
for a thorough skin analysis. Skin condition and problems
vary significantly between persons, so to avoid wasting
precious time and money, ensure you are investing in
the most appropriate product for your skin type.
Using any new skin care product may cause your skin to
react to the ingredients. This may result in irritation,
redness, dryness or a mild breakout. This should only
last for the first 3-5 days; if longer, it is recommended
you discontinue use and consult a skin care professional.
Alternatives to Anti-wrinkle Creams
Faster results than those from using anti-wrinkle creams
require professional cosmetics procedures such as laser
treatments, injections and dermabrasion. The downside
is that these treatments can be rather uncomfortable and
very costly. Such skin rejuventation treatments are usually
done in conjunction with pre and post treatment use of
anti-aging facial skin care products. For more information
