In addition to anti aging creams, many women try to hide wrinkles with make up. Cosmetics can be used to camouflage lines, if they are applied correctly. However, many women apply too much make up or choose the wrong products. This can actually have the opposite effect. When the make up is not applied properly, it can make the wrinkles more noticeable.
Before applying any cosmetic products, it’s important to use good skin care. Cleanse the skin with a gentle cleanser and apply an anti aging cream to the skin. When the skin is well moisturized, it will accept the make up better and you will get better results. You can apply a moisturizer before using foundation or just use a tinted moisturizer. This will depend on the amount and depth of the wrinkles you want to cover.
Many women make the mistake of piling on a ton of foundation in an effort to cover wrinkles. This is a mistake. The foundation will crack and make the wrinkles more noticeable. Choose a foundation for medium coverage. A matte finish works best for camouflaging wrinkles. Use a powder on top of the foundation. Powders reflect light and help you achieve better results.
A concealer can help to cover wrinkles. The color of the concealer you choose will depend on the effects you wish to achieve. A yellow base is best for covering dark circles under the eyes. To minimize wrinkles, choose a concealer with a white base.
The eyes are a problem area for many women. Moisturize the area around the eyes every day. Use an anti wrinkle cream that is made for the eye area. Choose your eye shadow products carefully. Powder works better than cream eye shadows. Creams tend to pool in the wrinkles and can make them stand out. Use lighter colors on the majority of the eye are to reflect light and minimize wrinkles. Use a deeper color at the lower part of the eyelid.
Blush will help cover capillaries that may be on the cheeks as well as fine lines. Use a powder rather than a cream product. As with eye shadow, powders are less likely to pool in lines and make them stand out more. Use your blush sparingly to conceal wrinkles and lines.
The lips are another problem area for many women. Use an anti wrinkle cream prior to applying your make up. Use foundation to help prevent the lipstick from bleeding onto the surrounding area. Apply lipstick with a stiff brush to keep it in place. Cream lipstick products work best for minimizing wrinkles in the lip area.
Anti wrinkle creams used in combination with these make up tips will help you minimize the wrinkles you have and prevent new wrinkles from forming. Choose skin care products and anti wrinkle creams carefully. Invest in good quality products for the best results. Read reviews to help you find the best products for your skin type. This will help you make the right choice and get the best results possible.

What causes wrinkles? In a word; aging; but there are other factors that can accelerate the wrinkling process.
*Exposure to direct sunlight for extended periods of time without using a sufficient sun block is most definitely a wrinkle causing factor in today’s world.
Skin that is tanned to a dark golden hue is considered to be a sign of health and beauty in women and a sign of virility in men.
In years gone by, a pale skin that had never been exposed to the suns rays was considered to be a mark of beauty in women and a sign or wealth and power in men (only those who had to do manual labor were tanned).
*An unhealthy diet can accelerate the wrinkling process. A diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits and vegetables will help to delay wrinkling.
*Lack of exercise is a wrinkle accelerator. Regular exercise keeps the blood circulating and waste being disposed of.
*Smoking cigarettes makes the skin wrinkle faster, yet another reason to quit…or never start. The same is true of cigars and snuff. Sudden extreme weight loss causes the skin to wrinkle….a blow to crash dieting!
*Harsh soap accelerates wrinkling. You should always use a soap that is ph balanced and not one that contains deodorizers or perfumes.
*Chlorine in swimming pools in very hard on the skin and increases the rate at which it wrinkles.
*Very hot baths and showers will accelerate skin wrinkling. A warm bath or a warm shower is better for the skin that very hot ones.
*A lack of the correct vitamins and minerals either in diet or in supplements will certainly cause the skin to age (wrinkle) much faster than it should. Antioxidants are vital to skin health.
WHAT ARE WRINKLES: The skin is made up of three
layers.
1. The epidermis or the outer layer.
2. The dermis or the middle layer
3. The subcutaneous or inner layer
Young skin isnt wrinkled because it holds moisture well and has a high level of elasticity; that is it stretches easily. The middle layer of the skin, the dermis, contains fibers called elastin and a protein called collagen.
As people age, their dermis loses both elastin and collagen. The skin gets thinner with this loss and becomes drier because it is harder for the dermis to get moisture. There is fat in the subcutaneous layer of the skin. As people age, they lose the fat in subcutaneous layer and this causes the skin to begin to sag.
People do not get wrinkles at a certain age. There are people in their 20s who have wrinkles around their eyes called crows feet because they squint their eyes a lot or because they smoke or because they spend too much time in the sun without using proper sun screen.
There are also people in their 50s and 60s that have very few wrinkles. Sometimes this is because they have an abundance of sebum in their skin. Sebum is natural skin oil that the body produces.
Heredity has an affect on how early in life wrinkles begin to appear. Members of some families will just wrinkle earlier than members of other families. Its all in the genes we inherit. There are several things that young people can do that will help to prevent or at least prolong wrinkling in their later years.
*Always use a sunscreen when being exposed to direct sunlight. This sunscreen needs to have an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of at least 15.
*Dont go to tanning salons.
*Dont smoke
*Stay well hydrated
*Use skin moisturizing creams

Next to death, the only certain thing in this world are wrinkles! No matter who you are or where you live, you’ll get wrinkles sooner or later. And if you smoke, stay outdoors most of the time, patronize tanning salons, and have parents with lots of wrinkles, you may get them sooner than you think!

The certainty of wrinkles is best expressed by American actress Estelle Getty who said, “Age doesn’t bring you wisdom. It brings you wrinkles.” Indeed, while they may appear at different ages in different people, wrinkles are here to stay because as we age, the skin ages as well. Young skin is elastic and can stretch and hold in moisture. As we grow old, the skin loses its elasticity and slowly dries up. With the loss of elastin and collagen, wrinkles set in.
