Your ingredients guide to younger-looking skin
When it comes to choosing your anti-wrinkle cream, or any skincare product for that matter, it’s important to know what you’re looking for. An anti-wrinkle cream can only tell you so much.
Whenever you weighing up the effectiveness of anti-wrinkle cream, make sure it ticks off these five ingredients. If it does, chances are the anti-wrinkle cream will do a good job.
The winners that make up a good anti-wrinkle cream
- Retinol – the ‘multivitamin’
You’ve probably heard us talk about this anti-wrinkle cream power ingredient before. A vitamin-A derivative, retinol targets wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots, dullness and sagging skin. If it’s a result of ageing, we’ll put a bet on retinol to be able to fix it. Retinol increases cell turnover, removes dead cells that cause dullness and boosts elastin and collagen by going deep into the skin’s surface. It also maximises the formation of blood vessels which increases circulation and makes the skin healthier.
- Antioxidants – the repairer
Penetrating the skin and transforming harmful free radicals into innocent compounds, antioxidants keep your skin looking supple and sexy. By stopping the process that naturally occurs when exposed to UV rays and other environmental stressors, your DNA, elastin and collagen remain strong. An effective anti-wrinkle cream with antioxidants is your best line of defence against ageing. Look for vitamin C, green tea, pomegranate and coffee to come to your cell’s rescue.
- Green tea extract – the UV fighter
Tea lovers, you’re can take it one step further and put it on your skin. Loaded with polyphenols and nutrients known to fight free radicals, green tea eases sun damage. Double up by choosing an anti-wrinkle cream with this ingredient, then apply sunscreen. Polyphenols have also been proven to reduce skin sag and wrinkles.
- Caffeine – the ‘alarm clock’
If coffee’s your morning drink of choice, give it to your skin too, via an anti-wrinkle cream. Caffeine is an antioxidant that can provide visibility of wrinkles and crow’s feet.
- Hyaluronic acid – the healer
Hyaluronic acid is something your body naturally makes a way of cushioning and lubricating tissues. It’s found in skin, connective tissues and joint fluid. Over time, your body produces less of it (especially if you smoke or eat unhealthily). An anti-wrinkle cream with hyaluronic acid helps smooth out your skin, mainly when used with Vitamin C.
