Anti-Aging Skin Care Products: 3 Anti-Agers that Work

Anti-aging skin care products are very hot right now. We all want to look like Demi Moore, Cher and other celebrities who never seem to age a day. Fortunately, you don’t have to have a celebrity budget in order to look years younger. Here are three anti-agers that work that are readily available at your local drugstore.

1. A daytime moisturizer with sunscreen. We have all heard the dangers of staying out in the sun too long. But did you know that the sun can do its damage even while you are indoors? Yet, many of us don’t like using sunscreens because they can feel heavy on the face.

Look for a daytime moisturizer with a broad-spectrum sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or more. The best kinds contain ingredients that boost the body’s production of collagen and elastin, two proteins that make the skin flexible and supple.

2. A night time moisturizer. Everyone should use a moisturizer at night. That’s when you can use a heavy duty arsenal of anti-aging skin care products, letting them soak right into your skin all night long. For best results, look for products that contain Vitamins A, B-complex, C and E.

3. A high-quality eye cream. Nothing makes you look older faster than eyes surrounded by crow’s feet. While these “laugh lines” may be unavoidable, you can minimize them by using a good eye cream. Look for eye creams designed to moisturize the delicate skin around the eyes and plump it up both morning and evening.

By using these three products you will go a long way toward looking younger. However, just as important as using these products consistently is using them correctly. There is a right and wrong way to apply anti aging skin care products.

For example, when applying eye makeup and eye creams, always apply just a tiny amount at the outer corner of the eye. Then, gently dab it in a circular motion toward the inner eye. Don’t rub it in or you could damage the skin and cause more wrinkles.

On the other hand, for face creams, start with the middle of the face and work outward and upward, using small circular motions. Don’t forget to apply facial cream to the neck. Start at the base of the neck and use circular motions gently move upward.

There are several other things you can do to look instantly younger. For example, start with your hair. Did you know that pulling it back away from your face automatically makes you look years younger? Try pulling your hair back in a pony tail and see what happens.

Also use cream based cosmetics as these tend to moisturize your skin. Powder based makeup tends to settle into fine lines and wrinkles, thus emphasizing them.

Lastly take care of yourself. Stick to a healthy diet, drink plenty of water and get plenty of sleep and exercise. By treating yourself well and using anti-aging skin care products carefully, you will look and feel younger and better.
