There are so many products on the market promising to ‘erase fine lines’; ‘ to make you look 10 years younger’, even to give you “ 90% wrinkle reduction in 7 days’. How do you know which of these claims are legit and which ones were designed just to get into your pocketbook? We’re going to tell you.
WRINKLE REDUCTION and WRINKLE PREVENTION are two very different things. If you want any wrinkle reduction to work, you must address the prevention side. A good, non-oily, sunscreen is a must for your daily routine. Proper cleansing and moisturizing is also part of the deal. You don’t have to spend a fortune on your facial moisturizer, just read the label. Look for some anti-oxidants (vitamins A, C, and E), grapeseed oil is also a great ingredient. Your cream’s consistency should match your needs. If your skin is oily, a light quick absorbing cream is best. If your skin is lacking in moisture, look for a heavier more hydrating formula. <read more>

First, let’s establish what these creams are used for: Basically, they contain the only ingredients (retinoids) that have decades of research proving they can turn around the aging of skin! Only retinoids have been proven in studies to do everything from smoothing fine lines and fading dark spots to making pores appear smaller. Dermatologists agree: Retinoids are the best age erasers. <read more>

Well, maybe not a facelift…but it’s the closest you’re going to get without a plastic surgeon’s knife and a least $15 grand in your checking account. Buying a product in a bottle, tube or jar and expecting all of your wrinkles to disappear is not reality, but don’t despair there are over-the-counter products that contain ingredients that have proven to aid in the anti-aging war on wrinkles. <read more>

When we think of aging skin, the first and foremost word that comes to mind is ‘wrinkles’. However, recent research has shown that it’s actually the loss of radiance or that youthful glow that adds years to your appearance. "The luminosity of skin is dependent on how well it absorbs and reflects light," says Paul Matts, PhD, a scientist with Proctor & Gamble. For over-40 faces, the problem is caused by the breakdown of collagen fibers that mirror light back to the skin's surface, making the skin look less ‘alive’. Another issue that escalates with age is the increase of dead skin cell buildup. This and dark spots triggered by UV light also interfere with skin's light-reflective ability. <read more>
