  • Wrinkle Creams: Top 5 MUST-HAVE Anti-Aging Ingredients

    Wrinkle creams are a necessity for those of us seeking to win the battle against obvious aging.

    While some creams boast strong “anti-aging” results, they may not deliver what you expected.

    Before you spend money and find yourself disappointed, there is something VERY important to consider.

    Certain ingredients are powerful anti-aging allies. It is these ingredients you should be on the lookout for when considering a wrinkle cream.

    You may want to write these wrinkle-fighters down before shopping for new creams.

    Green and White Tea Mixture

    We often hear about all the amazing health benefits of green tea, but you may not know that white tea is considered an amazing anti-aging ingredient as well.


    The two are said to be rich in antioxidants known as EGCG. These antioxidants increase the rate that old cells are replaced with new ones, an important contribution to a youthful appearance.

    Though green and white tea are awesome apart, you’ll get the best results with wrinkle creams that feature both.

    Resveratrol

    Recent studies suggest that resveratrol could be a highly effective ingredient for combating the signs of aging.

    It’s a substance mainly found in grapes, red wine, and even nuts.

    The reason people are so convinced of its wrinkle-fighting abilities is because it’s believed to affect enzymes known as sirtuins. These enzymes are involved in the aging process.

    Resveratrol is even thought to help relieve symptoms from certain age-related diseases!

    Pomegranates

    You may not know this but pomegranates are a great wrinkle cream ingredient, largely because the fruit is packed with Vitamin C.

    This vitamin is crucial for undoing the sun-related skin damage that often prematurely ages the skin.

    It also contains properties known to increase collagen in the skin and fight off free radicals.

    Polyhydroxy Acid

    Though alpha-hydroxyacids or AHA is a somewhat heavily promoted skin care ingredient, not as much attention is paid to polyhydroxy acid or PHA.

    Research has shown that a PHA skin care regimen can have anti-aging benefits. Apparently with far less irritation than experienced by AHA.

    Ginger

    Though ginger boasts enough health benefits to put it firmly in the “superfood” category, it also has certain qualities which make it an ideal choice for wrinkle creams.

    The food contains gingerol, an antioxidant that is said to eliminate free radicals. It’s also said to promote a more even skin tone while cutting down on collagen breakage.

    If you find wrinkle creams containing the above, you’ll probably be very satisfied with your efforts to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and those dreaded “crows feet”.

    Are there any other wrinkle cream ingredients you’d recommend? What have YOU had success with?

  • Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals Her Best And Worst Qualities

    Even beautiful celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow have some insecurities.

    Recently, the 41-year-old actress revealed to Hello magazine what she feels are her best and worst features; her legs being her best.

    One thing Paltrow wishes she could change is her wrinkles from years of sun damage. She explained that she would love to have something done to minimize the wrinkles, but she doesn’t want to make it so obvious and have surgery. “If I could change anything I wish I could get wrinkles and sun damage reversed without looking like I’d done anything,” Gwyneth told the publication. “So for now, I’ll just stick with my wrinkles and sun damage.”

    Gwyneth did admit to using the procedure called Thermage laser treatment which is promising in getting rid of the “‘turkey necks’, loose jowls, and sagging skin.” While the procedure has proven successful, Paltrow warned that it can be quite painful. “It’s non-invasive but it’s quite painful, like having your face smacked with a rubber band that has an electric shock in it. But it works,” Paltrow explained.

    Paltrow said she uses her own remedies to fight her aging skin as well. She credits her rigorous exercise regime for helping her skin. “I think it’s a lot about exercise, I really do. I do an hour of cardiovascular activity five days a week and I think that sweating is detoxifying and is really good for skin elasticity,” she said. “I always take my make-up off before bed – always. I always cleanse and exfoliate when I’ve been wearing make-up.”

    “I didn’t really start looking after my skin until I was 39. Now I use a hot cloth cleanser and Clarisonic Mia and I’ve seen a real difference in my skin,” Paltrow added. “I apply Restorsea moisturiser, plus a little cream blusher and mascara, and then I’m ready.”
