You Can Stop Those Wrinkles

Submitted By: Pauline Downie

Tirelessly yet persistently we women scour the shelves of the department stores and the like, to find the perfect moisturizer, which will miraculously take away those wrinkles and have us looking younger.

Can it be done? Yes it can. I myself have spent a considerable amount of time, money and energy searching and trying many different types of moisturizes to fight the aging process.

Along the way I have discovered and learnt a lot, especially when it comes to knowing what should be in a moisturizer to help our aging skin.

What to look for:

For a day time moisturizer always look for one that contains an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of at least 15+.

If your skin is oily or acne prone, a moisturizing lotion or gel would be best suited for you as a cream may clog your pours. Also, look for a product which contains salicylic acid as this will help you clear up your acne.

If you suffer from very dry skin, you should look for a moisturizer with Niacinimide to help reduce water loss. Make sure the moisturizer is a light cream and contains ingredients like Glycerin and Dimethicone.

Sensitive skin works best with moisturizers containing Green Tea, Feverfew and Vitamin C, as this helps any irritation.

For skin which feels tight, a cream which is very greasy will do the trick.

To help you look younger and minimize fine lines, look for a moisturizer which contains AHA’s or Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Retinol, Vitamin A and E. Or try and find a moisturizer that contains collagen and elastin, as these ingredients also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

I am sure we are all aware the sun dehydrates the skin of its natural oils, so be careful if you do a lot of outdoor activities, as this can also lead to the skin losing moisture and causing wrinkles.

Our skin ages prematurely due to the passage of time and exposure of our skin to elements. As we age our skin stops producing natural oils and when this happens the skin losses its capacity to hold moisture, this is how the skin becomes prone to wrinkles and losses it’s elasticity and so begins the anti aging journey.

You don’t have to spend a lot of money on your skin care, there are many, many products to choose from, and it is really a matter of finding what works best for you.

Of course you also need to look after yourself from the inside, drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, eating healthy and exercising. This combined with your daily skin care routine is a sure fire way to help beat the aging process.
