Finding the Best Anti Wrinkle Cream

By Julie Samtsonn

Anti wrinkle cream has become increasingly in demand as more and more people try to retain their youth. However you should bear in mind the fact that no anti wrinkle cream can really turn back the hands of time. What it can do is make your skin look younger. This is accomplished by a variety of ingredients.

There is no real "best" anti wrinkle cream, but most of the good ones have several ingredients in common.

An exfoliant:

Most good antiwrinkle creams have some sort of exfoliant or mild acid included in them so as to encourage skin cell turnover and new skin growth. The most popular of these acids are the hydroxy acids (such as alpha or beta hydroxy acid). There is also a vitamin A derivative, retinol, that encourages skin cell turnover so that fresh, new skin is exposed from underneath.

These ingredients are effective because they increase the speed at which new skin is generated. This process diminishes as we approach 40. A 20 year old skin will rejuvenate every 28 days, whereas a 40 year old will generate new skin in 42 days.

By encouraging new skin cell growth, too, new collagen growth is also encouraged. This helps skin look fresher, firmer and younger.

A sunscreen:

Because most antiwrinkle creams to encourage skin exfoliation and renewal, you are left with fresh, young and delicate skin on your face. This delicate new skin has to be protected from the sun. For this reason, you should use a skin cream that has an SPF of at least 15, preferably 30. Although you can use a separate sunscreen, of course it's much more convenient to have it included right in your antiwrinkle cream.

Antioxidants:

Vitamin E and C are powerful anti toxins, they heal your skin, improve its tone and neutralize free radicals. This all adds up to younger more beautiful skin.

To find a proper antiaging skin cream for you, go online and type in the keywords, "antiwrinkle skin cream" and "reviews." You should be able to find several good reviews of various antiaging skin creams.

Remember it is not how expensive an anti wrinkle cream is but how well it performs. In fact cheaper brands can perform equally well as expensive ones. So try to do your research carefully and shop around as well as reading reviews.

Remember that a quality anti wrinkle cream will have a good refund guarantee. This ensures that if the anti wrinkle cream does not perform as promised or starts irritating your skin you can be refunded and be able to find some other product to try. There is a wide variety of anti wrinkle cream on the market and all you have to do is choose the one that is suitable for you. - 15438
