The best wrinkle cream, in my opinion, is a water-based cream. There are several on the market that promise firmer, tighter, skin, but they leave such a residue on skin, hands, and often stain clothes that I would never want to use them.
If you decide you’d still like to try water-based creams, you’ll find they come with the added benefit of fast absorption into the skin. They are also not prone to trapping dirt in the pores and causing acne like oil-based creams do.
As far as anti aging skin care creams go, I think they are nothing but a marketing ploy for the egocentric consumer. Any skin care cream is an anti aging skin care cream - a label is just for marketing when they add phrases like “anti aging.” Fully hydrated skin looks healthier and, as a result, makes the user appear younger.
So, why do some wrinkle creams work better than others? We’ve found out it certainly isn’t the price! As mentioned earlier, water-based creams are more easily absorbed by the skin, so they are able to penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin providing longer-lasting hydration and repairing skin damage. Why wouldn’t a water-based cream work best? After all, our bodies are mostly water to start with.
Wrinkle cream, as it is often called, is just skin care cream with a different name. It usually is a water-based cream and costs more than the standard hand lotions that are available on the market. In reality, a good hand lotion can achieve the same effect as the more expensive wrinkle creams that are currently available.
Healthy skin is happy skin. It is resistant to disease, as the skin is the primary barrier against disease transmission. Healthy skin is resistant to cracking in cold weather and does not tear as easily, reducing injuries to the occasional mechanic or weekend carpenter. This is because the skin is more pliant; it will simply push in rather than break and cause the nicks and scrapes that so often result when doing the above-mentioned activities.
Some of the wrinkle creams available contain additives which are beneficial to the skin. By adding aloe, a substance that penetrates deeply into the skin, using the cream can result is softer, healthier skin which retains moisture. Other creams add alcohol to alleviate the residue problem, which defeats the purpose of the cream in the first place. Alcohol causes the cream to have a dehydrating effect.
Creams that are both hypoallergenic and water-based seem to offer the best solution for dehydrated skin. Being hypoallergenic means that people with sensitive skins won’t develop allergic reactions. The first time you use a water-based cream on dry skin, you’ll find that it keeps being drawn into the skin. You will need to take your time to make sure that all of your skin becomes fully hydrated again. After that, only minimal upkeep will keep your skin hydrated, healthy, and pliable.
