Facial Wrinkle

What anti aging cream would you recommend?

There are so many anti wrinkle creams on the market today that it’s really hard to know which one actually works. Good news is, you don’t have to spend a fortune to look younger and take care of your skin. The 2 major creams that have taken the UK by storm so far are Aldi anti wrinkle cream (which came as a bit of a surprise to everyone) and Boots No7 protect and perfect. Here are reviews on them both. If you scour the internet you can find more. As companies are always trying to tell you that their product is "the best" I’d advise reading reviews from real people.

Some women hand over hundreds of pounds for creams that promise to smooth out their wrinkles.
Others prefer to pay £1.89. Aldi’s own label anti-wrinkle cream is flying off the cut-price supermarket’s shelves after winning a host of awards.

Siana Moisturising Anti-Wrinkle Day Cream, to give the product its full title, has beaten more expensive beauty heavyweights such as Helena Rubenstein, Olay and Elemis, to be named one of the best anti-ageing products on the market.

Woman’s Own magazine said it was ‘as good as the pricier products from well-known names’ and added: ‘Beauty industry tongues are wagging because it is so cheap and really works’.

Two thousand volunteers blind-tested the day cream for another magazine and voted it one of the most effective complexion smoothers. ‘I was asked if I’d had a facial,’ one enthused. ‘I think it must be expensive.’

At the beginning of the year, 890 jars a week were being sold nationwide at Aldi. Now more than 20,000 a week are being packed into trolleys, with dozens of branches selling out.

Manufacturers say the cream includes all the same ingredients as more expensive potions, including the enzyme Q10, which mimics the body’s ability to protect against premature aging.

The night version includes retinol complex to stimulate cell growth.

Aldi’s cream follows the success of the £17 Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum which was a sell-out last year.

I am a great fan of Boots no 7 beauty products so when Horizon recently tested anti-aging products and found that one made by Boots to be the best I was not surprised.
The product in question is Boots No 7 protect and Perfect beauty serum. I have been using this for several months now and the Horizon findings just confirmed my thoughts on this little miracle-it works!

I first came across perfect and Protect serum when I was browsing around my local Boots shop clutching a £5 voucher. The sales assistant confirmed my choice by telling me she loved the product and she looked pretty good to me!
Open the outer box and a smooth clear glass bottle is revealed. The serum itself is white. The bottle has a pump action, which is sometimes a bit slow to react!

The serum itself has a silky feel to it. To be honest when I first tried it I thought it felt a bit watery on my finger. However it glides onto the face easily and my skin felt instantly better the first time I used it. It sounds a bit cliché but my skin really did feel hydrated and softer.
The serum is easily absorbed and is not greasy at all.Pretect and Perfect dosn’t really have any scent to it and as its hypoallergenic I guess it has no perfume.

The product information suggests you first cleanse and tone your face before applying protect and perfect. I am lazy where beauty routines are concerned and only cleanse my face first. I don’t use a toner so don’t know if the results would be even better if I did! I also use Boots uplifting moisturiser before applying protect and perfect. You only need a pea-sized amount of this cream so a 30ml bottle will last for ages.
I have also found that my foundation goes on better after using protect and perfect-another bonus!

I can honestly say that I have noticed a big difference since using protect and perfect. My skin looks brighter and fine lines are less noticeable. I would highly recommend it!
How does it work?
******************
As I am a bit of a cynic as far as beauty product claims are concerned I thought I would look at the evidence about this serum for myself. I didn’t see the Horizon programme but read about the research later. Professor Lesley Regan a well-respected medical expert looked into several anti-aging products and found that the best was Boots protect and perfect-go Boots! She asked Professor Chris Griffith to carry out independent research into the product. He was able to prove scientifically that this product works!

Protect and perfect can actually repair photo-aged skin. This has to be great news for millions of women!
Protect and perfect contains Retinol a form of vitamin A. Retinol is used in acne treatment and is absorbed through the skin and increases the rate of cell renewal.

Protect and perfect also contains levels of collagen boosting ingredients to smooth out fine lines and help the skin to feel and appear firmer.
I really can’t think of anything negative to say about this product. It is easy to use, improves the look and feel of my face and is not too expensive.

I have been using protect and perfect for several months now and will continue to do so. I paid about £16 for my bottle and it is often on buy 2 get one free. Due to all the hype about this product it is currently very difficult to get hold of. Once Boots have more stock I would suggest you try it out for yourself!

I’m 15 so wouldn’t know which one works best, but my mum is obsessed with these creams and stuff. Since all the hype about No7 Protect and Perfect she’s started using it, even though she used to use Dior creams. She’s told me that she actually thinks the No7 one is better, as you can actually see a difference. All I can say is don’t trust the people trying to sell you their product, as you can’t know for definate whether it works when they’re just trying to make money.

Hope that helps!

I have a few wrinkles under my eyes, it’s not bad but I’m pretty young for wrinkles, what’s a good cream to prevent and help my wrinkles?

Why is an under eye wrinkle cream a very important part of your skin care routine. The skin around your eyes is the thinnest skin on your face. Thus, it will show the lines and wrinkles much sooner than other areas of your face. Now, all creams are not created the same, thus they will not work as effectively as others do.

There are several reasons why lines and wrinkles develop on our skin. The main one is due to a loss of collagen and elastin. Collagen is a fiber like protein that gives our skin its structure. Elastin is a protein that provides elasticity to our skin. When you are younger, your body produces an abundance of these proteins. However, as you age your body stops producing these proteins. This can lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles.

Another reason that lines form thus causing us to use an under eye wrinkle cream is the formation of free radicals. The suns ultraviolet rays can cause these chemical molecules to form. They move around the body and cause damage to our skin cells.

A good under eye wrinkle cream will contain specific natural ingredients that will address the causes of the lines forming. In addition, it will be rich in antioxidants to help destroy the free radicals.

Most under eye wrinkle cream products do not contain the necessary ingredients to repair the damage caused by the main causes of lines and wrinkles forming.

A very effective substance that is not used in many under eye wrinkle cream products in North America is called Eyeliss™. Many European skin care companies are using it though. It helps to reduce puffiness and bags from under the eyes. Do not worry though, these skin care products are available online for everyone.

The ingredients in this substance are antioxidants and protein peptides that help to stimulate the re-production of new cells, which thus increases thickness and reduces wrinkles.

The best under eye wrinkle cream products will be free of fragrances, artificial preservatives and mineral oils. None of these substances is good for your skin. They can cause skin irritations, allergic reactions and in the case of some preservatives, the potential is there to cause cancer.

My mother always used to wear sunglasses (and still does) on sunny days, saying that squinting in the sun causes wrinkles around the eyes. But don’t these wrinkles go away once you’re out of the sun? Do facial expressions actually cause wrinkles?

The cells divide more slowly, and the inner layer of skin (the dermis) starts to thin. Fat cells beneath the dermis begin to atrophy (diminish). In addition, the ability of the skin to repair itself diminishes with age, so wounds are slower to heal. The thinning skin becomes vulnerable to injuries and damage.

The underlying network of elastin and collagen fibers, which provides scaffolding for the surface skin layers, loosens and unravels. Skin then loses its elasticity. When pressed, it no longer springs back to its initial position but instead sags and forms furrows.

The sweat- and oil-secreting glands atrophy, depriving the skin of their protective water-lipid emulsions. The skin’s ability to retain moisture then diminishes and it becomes dry and scaly.

Frown lines (those between the eyebrows) and crow’s feet (lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes) appear to develop because of permanent small muscle contractions. Habitual facial expressions also form characteristic lines.

Gravity exacerbates the situation, contributing to the formation of jowls and drooping eyelids. (Eyebrows, surprisingly, move up as a person ages, possibly because of forehead wrinkles.)

Wrinkles can have a profound impact on self-esteem. Indeed, the stigma attached to looking old is evidenced by the fact that Americans spend more than $12 billion each year on cosmetics to camouflage the signs of aging. Our current society places a premium on youthfulness, and age discrimination in the workplace, although illegal, has stalled many a person’s career. Indeed, the emotional ramifications of aging explain in large part why the cosmetics industry and plastic surgeons thrive.

I have two lines across my forehead and would like to try to laser them out. If any one knows about this type of procedure please let me know what type of laser I should ask for and what to expect. Any ideas are welcome except for Botox!! Thanks

I heard juvederm is better for that type of removal as it has natural ingredients to stimulate collagen and remove facial lines. it is approved by the FDA and a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration.
