Wrinkles. One of the most dreaded words in the dictionary. At the first sign of a wrinkle, our reaction is pretty much universal. Horror! After we calm down, we begin to wonder just what we can do to eliminate this much dreaded effect of aging and how do we keep other newer and deeper wrinkles from following. If we already find ourselves with wrinkle mania in full bloom, we look for solutions to turn back the hands of time and restore our skin to its once youthful state. Fortunately, there are options available to us to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Let’s take a moment to discover what causes these wrinkles. First and foremost, aging. As we grow older our skin naturally looses collagen and eslastin that help to keep our skin firm and taunt. Also, our skin cell reproduction slows down and the rejuvenating effect that new skin cells have on our skin’s appearance diminishes. These types of wrinkles are known as intrinsic, they cannot be avoided. It is Mother Nature at her best (or worst!). Other factors, like the environment and sun damage, can also cause skin to wrinkle. Smoking also causes the skin to produce less collagen, inevitably leading to an increase in wrinkles. These types of wrinkles are called extrinsic. They are life style choices that are, for the most part, under our control. These extrinsic influences are the leading cause of pre-mature aging patterns in our skin. Now that we know why we have wrinkles let’s talk about how to reduce them.

Many people want to avoid buying expensive and questionably effective wrinkle reducing creams and lotions, but they still want to reduce the signs of premature aging. Wrinkles such as crow’s feet and fine lines on the forehead, for example, are often bothersome and might make you look older than you are. The problem is that after buying special eye cream, nighttime lotions, daytime lotions, exfoliants, etc., your night table will be full while your wallet will be empty! In order to stay young looking, with vibrant, smooth, and youthful skin, but without breaking the bank on expensive wrinkle reducer creams, you can start by following these general guidelines: 1. Take good care of your skin with natural products such as a good cleanser, a mildly abrasive soap or scrub, and any popular oil-free moisturizing cream. If you haven’t already, you should develop a morning and evening skin care routine.2. Wear sunscreen, even if it is a low SPF that still allows you to get a little color. The sun’s rays can cause skin to look older, so it is important to block at least some of them out. To make things simple, you may be able to find a moisturizer that you use in step one that contains sunscreen. 3. Take a vitamin supplement with vitamins C, E, A, K and B complex, and minerals. Many vitamins that are formulated for people who are “active” or “stressed” work well. 4. Exercise has been proven to slow the signs of aging such as wrinkles. It will also make your skin look younger, smoother, and healthier.5. Your nutrition is vital for skin care and wrinkle reducing, and you should create recipes that are rich in the vitamins mentioned above (C, E, A, K, and B complex). For example, adding Mandarin oranges to your salad adds vitamin C, while carrot shavings that are a part of a chicken recipe add vitamin A. 6. Some “home made” products do work as wrinkle reducers, though you should be careful to make sure that the information is coming from a reputable source. Prevention Magazine, for example, often has information like this. The above wrinkle reducers are safe and easy to use, and will save you the money you would have spent on highly marked up creams and lotions.

Let us clarify that most wrinkle treatments do work, are safe, and effective for reducing the strength of a facial crease, however, what they “cannot” do is remove wrinkles permanently. This should not have you feel like it is the end of the world, in fact, on cloud nine you should be because proof shows that wrinkle treatments really do work. Wrinkles are a part of our lives that we need to learn to accept. There is no avoiding what comes naturally. Wrinkles reflect growing age or unhealthy neglected skin.

Aside from ageing, wrinkles appear earlier if the skin is over exposed to the sun, in tanning salons, smoking or drinking excess amounts of alcohol. The skin is made up of three layers; the outermost layer visible to the eye, called the epidermis. The middle layer, called the dermis and the innermost layer, called the subcutaneous.

If you’re at the age when wrinkles are becoming more & more of a problem, then it’s time to look for a solution. Believe it or not, that solution is not expensive cosmetic surgery; it’s actually the daily application of an anti wrinkle face cream. Shocking isn’t it? To think that all you really need to do in order to get rid of wrinkles and finelines is to use a face wrinkle cream.
If you’d like to find that perfect anti-wrinkle face cream for you, follow these 5 simple tips.
- Don’t look for a quick fix; look for a long-term solution. If you simply go with the first wrinkle cream you choose because it promises “fast results”, then you won’t achieve the wrinkle reduction you truly crave. Many of those quick acting anti wrinkle creams merely cover up wrinkles instead of actively trying to smooth them out. The temporary wrinkle relief may cause you to feel good when looking in the mirror, but once the effects of that cream wears off, the wrinkles will return and your self-esteem will be shot right back down. Having said all that, don’t put all your hopes into short-term wrinkle creams.
- Examine the ingredients. Each anti wrinkle face cream is made with different ingredients which will have different properties. Some of these ingredients will help to increase collagen, others will make the skin smoother, and a few will even make the skin a bit tighter. By knowing the ingredients and what they do, you can determine if an anti wrinkle cream is just an expensive moisturizer or if it’s the real deal.
- Use your resources; Internet, magazines, television, radio, etc. The more you know about a particular wrinkle cream, the less likely you are to be ripped off. That being said, do a little bit of researching when you find an anti wrinkle face cream you’re interested in. Find out what people are saying about it, what experiences people have had when using it, and try to find any in-depth reviews that talk about it. If a face wrinkle cream actually works, chances are, people are talking about it.
- Shop around before making a decision. There is no reason to rush the process; those wrinkles aren’t going anyway and neither are you. Browse different online websites, catalogs, magazines, etc. to find an anti wrinkle cream that stands out from the rest. Once you find one, write it down on your “possibilities list”. This list will contain all the wrinkle face creams that you’ve noticed and are interested in trying.
- Don’t let your wallet lead you. This doesn’t mean to ignore the price completely; it simply means you shouldn’t place so much emphasis on cost. This rule applies to both cheaply priced wrinkle cream and extravagantly priced anti-wrinkle cream. Just because a cream has a low price tag, that doesn’t make it bad; and vice versa for high priced wrinkle removal cream. Instead of relying on price to be your guiding light, rely on user ratings, reviews, and customer satisfaction to determine whether a cream is worth your time and/or money.
