It’s the same with your face, if you want to fight wrinkles and delay the onset of deep wrinkles, do a simple preventative anti-wrinkle skin care routine every day.

Recently, I attended a function at a golf club. Both the women and men ranged mainly in age from there fifties to late sixties. As a point of interest I noticed most of the men had terrible skin, exposure for up to 5 hours in the sun every time they played golf had wreaked havoc to their facial skin. Even though most said they applied sun screen and wore one of those baseball type hats.

I asked some of them if they had ever used moisturizing skin care cream, and they all said no!

Most of the ladies also had well worn skin and in some cases deep wrinkles. Their skin didn’t look as dry and blemished as the men’s but you could tell they had a lot of exposure to the sun and wind. Most of them wore makeup. When I asked some of them if they had a daily skin care regime, beyond applying and removing their makeup, they said no.

However, there was a lady around sixty years old who stood out and had a great complexion with few wrinkles and looked many years younger than her actual age. I asked her what she did or product she used to have such a nice skin. The answer didn’t surprise me one bit!

She simply said from her late teenage years when she started using makeup, she religiously got into the routine of removing her makeup and thoroughly cleansing her skin, then toning it, and moisturizing with a good quality anti-wrinkle night cream. Again washing and cleaning her skin in the morning and applying a natural moisturizing day cream before her makeup.

She remarked with a smirk, over that 40 odd year time span, the only times she ever broke her rule, was when she had come home late from a night out with a few glasses of wine under her belt, and said bugger the makeup! And went to bed.

There you have it? You don’t need to spend a fortune on how to prevent wrinkles, have unnecessary facial procedures, or buy the most expensive makeup or creams. There are plenty of good cost effective products on the market, particularly some of the new innovative companies promoting there range of anti wrinkle creams on the Internet at affordable prices, that do a great job.

In conclusion, don’t waste a lot of money on expensive methods or products to fight wrinkles. Get into the habit of daily and nightly skin care maintenance. Thoroughly clean your skin, and moisturize your pores with a good quality natural anti-aging anti-wrinkle night cream. Then apply a natural moisturizing day cream before leaving home in the morning.

In today’s world, everyone wants to look and feel better. Unless you have been sitting under a rock for the past few years, you will know that there are many anti aging skin cream products available.

The problem is many of these so called anti aging creams have been found to be completely ineffective. Although there are products out there that can actually improve your skin and help you look younger and youthful, many simply fail to have any real benefit to your skin. A good skin care product should even out coloration inconsistencies and other pigment concentrations. They should also help reduce bags under the eyes, as well as the lines around the eyes that often occur as we age.

The problem is however, that there are just far too many anti aging skin care products to choose from. Unless you know the industry inside out, it is very hard to find a skin care product that benefits your skin and health in a positive way. Lets be honest, many people will spend any amount of money to look and feel better – Lets take cosmetic surgery as a prime example, it has become so popular that it is now a multi-billion dollar industry. The same is true for the topical skin care industry.

Because of such high demand, many product manufactures will rush out and create skincare products to meet the ever growing need people have to look and feel better. The problem is most of the money goes in to marketing and advertising campaigns, and although sometimes, the finished product can be helpful, most of the time, it is rushed out with no real dedication or even budget to source the best, most unique, and most pure ingredients.

We will now discuss some ingredients to avoid and some ingredients the best skincare products must contain so that you can make a more informed decision:

Ingredients to avoid

Many of the top branded anti aging skin care products are loaded with ingredients that will actually impair your overall skin health in the long run. Some of these ingredients to watch out for are mineral oils, dioxane, and fragrances. Although mineral oils may sooth and moisturise your skin short term, the long term effects can lead to your skin not being able to breath, blocking up pores leading to acne flare ups! Not very good for an ingredient used that was supposed to improve your skin..

Ingredients to look out for in your anti aging skin cream products

Remember, when selecting a high quality skincare product, it is important to know that it’s not just about the ingredients, but also, the actual concentration of these ingredients. In other words, how much of the quality ingredients are used.

Collagen is an ingredient that many of the promoted skincare products use and they base the quality of there product on the fact they have included large amounts of collagen in there product. The fact is, collagen is a bogus ingredient. For collagen to be of any benefit to you, you need to find ingredients that will actually promote your body’s own ability to create its own collagen. Only then can the collagen be used effectively. Two of these ingredients are Phytessence Wakame and Cynergy Tk.

Phytessence Wakame is native to the Japanese sea and is quite a rare ingredient indeed. The ingredient works by blocking a harmful enzyme in our bodies called hyaluronidase. This will stop the production of hyaluronic acid and without hyaluronic acid, the elastin and collagen fibers lose their “glue,” which will eventually lead to a loss of youthful appearance.

Cynergy Tk is a scientific breakthrough ingredient that actually stimulates your own collagen to grow. This will result in less wrinkles and an over all younger and healthier skin texture. Studies have shown a 14% increase in skin moisture retention over only 18 days.

So, there you have it, if the anti aging skin care products have some harmful ingredients in them and don’t have the ingredients in them that we mentioned above, our advice is to stay well clear. And remember that they have probably put marketing before the development of a pure, quality natural anti aging skin cream product.

In this month’s Links section of the Put Old on Hold Newsletter, you will see a press release “Women sacrifice food before cosmetics.” It claims that according to surveys, “Women are not only reluctant to reduce their spending on cosmetics but when their purses come under pressure they are more willing to scrimp and save on food.” Wow!

It’s baffling that many women seem not to understand that what they eat and drink (or do not eat and drink) every day over a long period of time eventually shows on the appearance of the face and body. If your body were a book it could be said that you can tell what’s inside the book by its’ cover.

Women will often spend a ton of money on external moisturizers but drink little or any water. I recall one woman who said she never drinks water — hasn’t done so in years — she drinks diet Coke exclusively. She’s very overweight and doesn’t understand the connection between the diet cola consumption and the weight gain. There is ample research that indicates artificial sweeteners are linked to weight gain.

The cosmetics industry is huge and its advertising is massive. Marketing gurus have it down to a science. They know how to make us buy what we don’t need or even want. And we buy, buy, buy, not because we are stupid, but because we are human and subject to psychological manipulation. Nevertheless, we do have the ability to make choices. We can say “no” and we can look for less expensive cosmetic alternatives — they are out there.

We all have our favorite cosmetic products but the truth is that you can buy a lot of “beauty” for a lot less. If you are paying big bucks for a department store or boutique moisturizer, you can find something at the drug store that will do what you want it to do (or perhaps even better) for a lot less. Or even find something in your kitchen. Recently, when I put out a SOS for a subscriber who wanted help finding a good neck cream, more than one of you recommended olive oil!

A great way to improve the appearance of your skin is with fresh juices. Invest in a juicer. (You may still be able to buy a Jack LaLanne juicer for $99 and it works great.) Buy a big bag or carrots and a couple of bunches of celery and juice them. Your body will know immediately that you have done something wonderful for it, and if you drink fresh juice often enough, it will do more for your skin than any expensive cosmetic.

It’s also important to take anti-agiing supplements. In Dr. Nicholas Perricone’s book, The Perricone Prescription, there are several pages of before and after pictures that show the effect of his three-day nutritional face lift and his 28-day wrinkle free program. Some of the “after” photos are remarkable. If nothing else, all the women look younger. The photos are testimony to the fact that what you put into your body matters.

Save money by not buying “phony phood” products — chips, dips, so-called breakfast cereals that may contain more sugar than nutrition. If it wasn’t food 100 years ago, it’s not real food. Spend your food money on live food that will help make you look and feel better. You may just have enough left over to splurge on the expensive cosmetics you think you can’t live without.

Okay, so you saw your first wrinkle and can’t believe your eyes. If you’re like me, you headed for the nearest drugstore and bought five different wrinkle creams. You are looking for and want the best wrinkle cream around. You’ve also noticed that there are numerous amounts of anti aging skin care products. How do you know which is the best? Before you spend a fortune looking for the best wrinkle cream here’s a guide to the most effective ingredients available today.

Leading anti aging skin care ingredients

The best way to know whether you are holding an effective wrinkle cream is to turn it around and look at the ingredients. Most anti aging skin care products don’t have ingredients which have been tested to reduce wrinkles. They contain ingredients which condition and moisturize skin; this has little to do with reducing wrinkles. In order to find the best wrinkle cream your product should have anti aging ingredients. Key wrinkle reducer ingredients are Argireline, Matrixyl, and Retinol. Here’s why:

Argireline ( acetyl hexapeptide-3)

Argireline is one of the best anti aging ingredients because it works to relax facial tensions that contribute to wrinkles. Similar to the effects of BOTOX® injections, argireline reduces wrinkles and lines by releasing muscle tension. However, argireline is superior because it can be applied directly on all your wrinkles. Botulinum toxin, on the other hand, has restrictions which allow for injections on limited areas of the face.

Because argireline can be applied anywhere on the face it delivers promising results for overall wrinkle reduction on the face. In fact, one study points to a 30% reduction in wrinkle size after only 30 days of using argireline or its generic equivalent, acetyl hexapeptide-3.

Matrixyl (palmitoyl pentapeptide-3)

Matrixyl is the trademark name for palmitoyl pentapeptide-3, one of the powerful peptide molecules found in anti aging skin care products. Matrixyl works by stimulating collagen production in skin. As you may know, lost collagen in aging skin contributes to fine lines and wrinkles. An increase of collagen makes all the difference to plump skin and smooth out wrinkles. Matrixyl is very powerful in that it promotes an incredible amount of collagen in the skin; so much that it can give BOTOX® a run for their money.

In fact, Matrixyl increases overall collagen synthesis by up to 117%. Studies on Matrixyl report that wrinkles were reduced by half and fine lines almost completely faded away. This is one ingredient that is a must in anti aging skin care products.

Retinol (retinyl palmitate)

Retinol functions as an antioxidant which speeds up cell turnover. This means old skin cells will be replenished at a faster rate. In return, your skin will be younger looking and more vibrant. Retinol also has been observed to reduce the size of wrinkles. Look for retinol or other forms of retinol such as retinyl palmitate in wrinkle creams. This ingredient works to give your face an overall youthful glow.

Overall, key ingredients play a major role in finding the best wrinkle cream. Look for effective anti aging skin care ingredients such as Argireline, Matrixyl, and retinol. Soon you’ll be smiling to yourself as you watch those wrinkles fade away!

Anti wrinkle creams are effective skin care treatments for the face as it is been used to decrease fine lines and moderate wrinkles. All these anti-wrinkle creams take action on your skin surface that will make your skin soft and young looking. For most part, the wrinkle creams are intended to take away the surface skin and then let fresh skin cells. Anti-wrinkle changes cannot be as striking as when matched up to more severe treatments such as chemical peels and dermabrasion however.

The results with these creams are not assured. What works well for one particular individual might not work with another. A few anti wrinkle skin cream products do not work a all. Part of this quandary is that lots of ingredients that are used in wrinkle cream products are not been subjected to thorough research to confirm benefit they claim to give. This is of course, very frustrating for the individuals.

Anti-Wrinkle Creams

Anti-wrinkle creams are special types of creams and moisturizers that are used to hide wrinkles on your face, and make your skin smooth and supple with the intention that wrinkles do not form. The wrinkles are result of the dry skin. They are also caused by contact to sun and wind, thus when skin is correctly moisturized, it is possible that the wrinkles will not form again. Wrinkle creams also come in a range of strengths, and perform many duties; thus knowing which kind of cream you require is useful when you are shopping for the wrinkle creams.

First compare the wrinkle creams quite a few times prior to making final choice, and make your selection based on the skin type and amount of moisture that you require on your skin daily. You must also base your choice on the improvement that you want to be done on your face. If you are buying wrinkle creams to stop the signs of aging in the future, you need to select a different and more gentle wrinkle cream. Naturally the younger you are, the better your long term results will be.

Price Comparisons

Let us look at the difference between expensive wrinkle creams and cheap wrinkle creams. Besides price, there may not be any difference as most of anti wrinkle creams are contract manufactured by similar companies in certified laboratories. Look at the claims that are made by the companies such as Stripeptin or Strivectin. They all will quote same exact research. I have also taken tours of manufacturing services and have seen lots of competing products in the market that are lined up next to one another.

If you pay more than $250 for wrinkle serum or lotion, then time has come to stop it. If you are been forced to use certain companies – then it is the time to look somewhere else! Just because anti wrinkle cream is pricey does not mean that it will work. There are lots of anti wrinkle creams obtainable that have the similar ingredients, similar quality ingredients, which are manufactured by the same company.
