I used to be able to dust my face with foundation and call it a day - those days are gone. Not only do I have blotchy skin, but powder just exposes how large my pores are and how deep those fine lines and wrinkles have become. Now, I use L'Oreal True Match liquid foundation over concealer and avoid powder all together.
Of course I do the basic cleanser routine, which consists of wash, tone and moisturize. I exfoliate to stop ingrown hairs, which is the reason my skin is now blotchy. The ingrown hairs that is, not the exfoliation.
Here is a look at the ingredients in wrinkle creams and serums that are scientifically proven to work, they really do decrease fine lines and wrinkles.
Researchers have developed several topical medicinal delivery systems in the past few years and this has lead to unexpected breakthroughs in the cosmeceuticals industry. Now, beautiful silky skin is accessible at reasonable prices, at your favorite department store, drug store and local supermarket.
You should note that these ingredients are not in every product. They are also not appropriate for all skin problems. Once you go over the ingredients and what they do, checking a product’s label will help you recognize whether it matches what you need for your skin.
I turned 50 last year and my "genetic pass" on wrinkles expired shortly thereafter. Only women with perfect bone structure can afford to grow old gracefully, the rest of us have a war to wage on aging and battles to win against crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead wrinkles and sneak attacks of dark circles under our eyes.
I had a plan for my life that did not include a sagging crepe-paper neck, wrinkles fanning out from my eyes or leathery skin.
But, every cigarette I ever smoked, every sunburn I ever got and every late night I've ever enjoyed were engraving fine lines and wrinkles on my face faster than you could say, the Portrait of Dorian Gray.
It was time to get rid of wrinkles and sagging skin!
Many women have had facial routines to treat wrinkles in place since they turned 35. For those of us, who ignored the aging process until those 20 or 30 year reunion pictures slapped us in the face, here is an intensive study of moisturizers, wrinkle creams and serums, non-surgical face-lift methods and then finally, information so you can investigate face-lifts.
Whoever coined the phrase growing old gracefully was either a man, very young or very beautiful. In any case, they should be shot.
Of course, you should never wait until you are 50 to institute an anti-aging regimen. It should start by the time you are 18 along with acne treatments and gear up when you turn 35. Don’t trust your luck to your genetics, unless you come from a long line of women with extraordinary bone structure and beautiful skin.
So, here’s to learning what you need know about wrinkle treatments, from creams and serums to Botox and chemical peels.
