Anti Aging Moisturizer

By Samantha Smith

Let's face it. We cannot stop the appearance of wrinkles. It is an unavoidable fact of life. Our face and necks will eventually bear wrinkles. As we age, our skin becomes less supple and smooth. Pollution and other environmental factors also help speed up the arrival or wrinkles.

You see, our skin dries out and becomes thinner as time passes by. This is because the skin produces less collagen and elastin. The good news is that we can delay the appearance of wrinkles.

Say hurray for anti-aging moisturizers! These will help ensure that we have young-looking skin for years and years to come. Our skin needs the right amount of moisture for it to look its utmost best. Thus, we need to keep moisturizers in our beauty stash. They are part of the skincare regimen that will give us great-looking skin.

Now, how do we choose the moisturizer that is right for us? The first step is to check the label and see what ingredients are used in making the anti-aging moisturizer. A good moisturizer should have key ingredients that have been proven to successfully ward off wrinkles, or lessen its appearance at the very least. Some ingredients to look for include collagen, elastin, Vitamin C and vitamin E. Also, the anti-aging moisturizer should help protect the skin from the sun's harmful effects. The SPF or Sun Protection Factor, gives an indication of the level of protection a certain product can provide. Of course, a better moisturizer should have a fairly high level of SPF.

When using moisturizer, check its effect on your skin. It should feel gentle. Avoid creams that give a stinging sensation. These may contain harsh chemicals that may do harm than good to the face. If your skin is particularly sensitive, make sure that the cream only has gentle ingredients that calm and soothe.

Anti-aging moisturizers are to be applied during the mornings and evenings. Put on the moisturizer before applying makeup. Before going to sleep, cleanse the face thoroughly and then add on the moisturizer. Be sure to use upward strokes. - 30292
