Cramming For Creams: Which Wrinkle Cream Rises To The Top?

Cramming For Creams: Which Wrinkle Cream Rises To The Top?

by Jen Hopkins

There is a wide variety of available wrinkle creams on the market, all advertising miraculous results, which it makes it extremely difficult for you, the consumer to pick and choose the one that’s best for you. Be sure to take your age, your location and your budget into account, as well as your expectations of what a wrinkle cream can do for you, before you spend your hard earned dollars.

You may wonder why many creams are marketed to the very young. Even infants receive applications of wrinkle cream! The answer is that an ounce of prevention equals a pound of cure. In order to prevent wrinkles from occurring, it is necessary to start treatment before the wrinkles appear. Pollutants and contaminants are at work on our precious skin from the moment we are born, so the fight must start early. As soon as your child is exposed to the harmful effects of sunlight, begin applying the protective cream. Likewise, you should watch your own sun exposure and supplement your sunscreen with a thick and heavy face and body cream to prevent future damage. Smokers who care about the condition of their skin should quit smoking right away and start applying a high quality wrinkle cream to combat the effects of smoke exposure. If age has caught up with you and you’ve reached your 40th birthday and are only now considering using a wrinkle cream, you may need the expert advice of a skin or cosmetic specialist to help you overcome the accumulated effects of years of exposure to damaging elements.

Where you live is also very important. High altitudes put people closer to the sun and lack humidity, so consider that when shopping for a cream in those climates. Apply often. And those in more humid environments may not suffer the ill effects of wrinkles nearly as early, but preservation of your complexion will require a wrinkle cream down the road.

Wrinkle cream prices range from less than $20 in the local department store to hundreds of dollars per tube or jar for the top of the line “miracle creams”. Whatever your budget allows, make sure you pay close attention to the ingredients. Alcohol is a drying agent that you should be sure to avoid.

It is important to manage your expectations of what a wrinkle cream can do for you. You will find yourself disappointed if you expect a wrinkle cream to do the job of a plastic surgeon, taking years off your face and completely transforming your appearance. However, if your expectations are more reasonable and you are looking to your wrinkle cream to minimize the damage caused by ultraviolet rays, environmental contaminants and the march of time, then you can easily find satisfaction with a cream that meets your own personal needs best.

Picking out the best cream for you requires a bit of research. Check out the ads, but also search the web for reviews and user comments. Then check the ingredients of the cream and search for any potential risks posed by those ingredients. Word of mouth is often the best way to hear about good wrinkle creams. Members of your own family may have similar skin issues, so ask them what they like and why. Consulting a professional for advice is also a good idea. Your local department store cosmetics counter is a good place to get the most up to date information on available wrinkle creams.

Slapping on a tablespoon of cream may not solve your wrinkle problems. Many companies offer wrinkle cream as part of a comprehensive face care program. The success of the wrinkle crea, relies on implementing the entire program. If you are not willing to invest not only money but time into the best wrinkle cream and any associated programs, you may have to select the less expensive but certainly somewhat effective well-known national brand marketed by companies like Ponds and Nutrigena.

Remeber that “best” means different things for different people. The best wrinkle cream for you is the one that works best for you within your own specific set of circumstances. Keep your location, budget and age in mind when doing your research and you should find yourself with an effective wrinkle cream that is a perfect match!
