Fight Wrinkles with Anti-Aging Moisturizers
November 15th, 2009 by Samantha Smith
Who wants wrinkles? These lines mark our faces and to some, that just would not do. We want our faces and necks to look smooth and supple. However, it is inevitable that wrinkles will come. Time and our environment will see to that.
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.
Moisturizers are here to rescue you! These ensure that our skin has enough moisture so that we are able to preserve our skin’s youthful looks. Making use of an anti-aging moisturizer should be an integral part of our beauty regimen if we want glowing and velvety skin.
When looking for the right anti-aging moisturizer, the first thing you should do is to read the label. Most of the moisturizers in the market will have ingredients that have been proven to prevent wrinkles. Some of the important ingredients are elastin, collagen, vitamin E and vitamin C. Vitamins E and C are known to be anti-oxidants. These fight free radicals, elements that wreak havoc not only on our skin, but on our overall health as well. Meanwhile, collagen and elastin promote to our youthful looks by filling out our skin, so that our wrinkles do not make its appearance. Another thing to look for is the moisturizer’s ability to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Look for a moisturizer that has a high Sun Protection Factor or SPF.
Another consideration is how the skin feels when the moisturizer is applied. The anti-aging moisturizer should not give a stinging sensation - rather, it should be gentle. This is to make sure that the moisturizer will not harm the skin.
The anti-aging moisturizer should be applied during the mornings (before putting on make-up) and in the evenings (after thoroughly cleaning the face). Apply the moisturizer using gentle, upward strokes. The upward strokes help to avoid sagging skin and also to increase the circulation of blood in the skin.
