Tips on choosing Anti-Ageing cream

Nature tends to wipe off the bloom of youth as we get older. The skin has its own signs of aging as it continues to get thinner, lesser in elasticity, drier and finally begins to develop fine lines and wrinkles. There are various ways to combat and slow down this aging process of the skin and restore its smoothness and tautness, thereby reducing the aging lines.

With the boom in latest technologies and research work, every year we see launches of new products, companies and various techniques that claim to do just that. Even though most of the cynics say that all this hype just leads to wastage of money, the good news is that there are certain anti-ageing creams that really do work, although to a limited extent. Here, I am stating some of the tips that can help you choose the anti-ageing cream that is most appropriate for your needs:


1) Check the ingredients: No matter where you are purchasing the cream from, be it an online store or a local drugstore, always have a look at the ingredients. You might not understand a lot of chemicals that go in your cream, but you can certainly do some homework and check for some of the most prominent good and the bad stuffs in a particular cream.

For instance the types of Vitamins - Vitamin A is a great wrinkle fighter, whereas Vitamin C and Vitamin E provide good nutrition to skin. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are the active ingredients in many products, and they are proven to be quite helpful in the struggle to keep the face looking young.

2) Go for sample or patch test first: If a product works for certain person or skin type, it need not mean that the same product will work for you too. Ask the store assistant for samples, if the cream you want to try is quite expensive. Usually all anti-wrinkle and anti-ageing products have higher end prices, and that makes it even more important for us that we shell our money out on products that actually suit our skins and work well. Try the samples first, and if they suit you well, go for the full version.

3) Try a separate eye wrinkle cream for eyes: The skin around our eyes is more sensitive, thinner and prone to get lines and wrinkles faster as compared to the skin on rest of our face.

So, it is really important that you invest in a good anti-wrinkle cream that is specifically built for eyes only. You'll notice the difference yourself.

Currently, there are thousands of products in the market that claim to offer you a wide range of wrinkle reducing miracles. Now, you can even find a complete section of a department store dedicated just to wrinkle treatment products. There are special creams too these days to take care of eye wrinkles and forehead wrinkles. Do they work? Well, asking the sales person that question wouldn't necessary solve the purpose of your query.

It is different to see the advertising claims that talk of eliminating lines, but what you must do is - read in between the lines, and choose wisely the best of the lot that can help you reduce your fine lines. It is up to you to find those that work for you.

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review, Swatches

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review I began to use Neutrogena brand long back, when I was in US.
