As women age, whole new sets of problems set in. Grey hair, dry skin, sagging, and of course the big one, wrinkles. Wrinkles affect nearly all women, some earlier than others.
Your face is the first thing someone sees when they look at you. Wrinkles can make a woman feel unattractive, old and judged by those around her. It’s no surprise that the beauty industry has started marketing the older generation with miracle creams and lotions to combat wrinkles. But do they work?
Creams and lotions that are bought over the counter are certainly no match for medical procedures or drugs prescribed by a doctor. And while collagen and pentapeptides, which are the ingredients found in most high quality wrinkle creams, are thought to work, no real scientific evidence supports it.
If you can’t afford a prescription and Botox isn’t your deal, topical creams may work for you, it’s really hit or miss. Your individual skin type, how often you apply the cream, how deep your wrinkles are and your skin history are just some of the factors that contribute to whether or not these lotions will work for you.
The truth is wrinkles need to be combated at an early age before they really set it. Moisturizing daily and limiting sun exposure when you’re young are the two main ingredients in preventing the onset of wrinkles later on in life.
