Wrinkles are a worldwide dilemma! Questions women everywhere are asking seem at first glance to be simple–what effect do wrinkle creams have on my skin? Which product is best for me? However, the situation is more complex than it appears.
Muddying the waters are the millions of cosmetics available for sale, most of which promise results as dramatic as rendering the wrinkles invisible, or removing them by 100%. When so many products clamor that they are the ‘best product ever made’, confusion is inevitable.
Worse yet, turning on the television set will bombard us with dozens more advertisements for anti-ageing products, often glowingly endorsed by shiny celebrities. Advertisements tend to be effective, and millions of women fall prey to unscrupulous advertisers before coming to realise that their miracle cream does not do what it claims.
This being the case, determining the actual effects of eye wrinkle creams is difficult–but not impossible. The first step is to examine the physiological cause of wrinkles.
The human body synthesises two kinds of proteins–collagen and elastin. It is the combination of these proteins which provides human skin with its look of youthful radiance. Unfortunately, as the body ages, these proteins become less available.
The result, of course, is wrinkles–fine lines which start at the corners of the eyes and creep all over the face, ageing features. Much time and money has been poured into the ‘war against wrinkles’ by cosmetic giants, who seek to reverse this process and give skin back its elasticity and tone.
While this does not specifically answer the question ‘Which anti-ageing product is right for my skin?’, it does provide a guideline. Use only products which are well-known–a good reputation, as opposed to marketing hype, is a good sign. Using too many products at once can result in ’skin addiction’, which is to be avoided–after all, your skin is precious!
Remember, a good product will never harm your skin. To determine which product suits your skin type best, dive into beauty magazines. Most of these magazines have regular articles about new and classic anti-ageing products and treatments. An eye for research will enable you to pick the perfect product for your skin.
