Think back to the last time you looked at yourself in a mirror for a long time. Did you think, "That reminds me of a Shar Pei!"? Have people stopped IDing you when you buy that bottle of wine, and if they do, have they stopped with the "You look so much younger" comments? If this sounds like you, then it might be time to invest in anti-wrinkle cream.

So what makes a wrinkle appear, and why are they so persistent? Simply put, it's just a natural occurrence when any material, such as you skin, is folded or pleated repeatedly. If this occurs enough in the same manner, it can stop unfolding altogether.

Why do we get wrinkles? A wrinkle is generally caused by the aging process. However, the following factors can also contribute to early wrinkling of the skin: sun exposure, smoking, inadequate water consumption, or prolonged facial expressions. By avoiding these things, we can keep our skin looking younger and smoother.

Another cause of wrinkles may be prolonged water exposure. If you sit in a bathtub or large body of water for any length of time, the body absorbs that water causing it to increase in size. The skin has an uneven expansion which can cause the skin to wrinkle. However, once you remove yourself from the water, it should return to its normal shape. The opposite effect can also cause wrinkles. If you do not consume enough water, then your body will begin to gather and form wrinkles.

The product that was developed specifically to counter these affects is the Best Wrinkle Cream. Good anti-wrinkle creams contain important ingredients such as tea extracts, kinetin, copper peptides, coenzyme Q10, hydroxyl acids, and retinol. While these can not completely reverse all skin wrinkles, it can dramatically reduce them and produce younger looking skin.

Along with the best anti aging product that you use, you must also remember to care for your skin. First, always wear sun screen when you go outside. Protect yourself from the harmful rays. Second, smoking is not only bad for your lungs; it also wrinkles the skin and makes it look dramatically older. Quitting smoking is essential to younger skin. Third, drink more water. By hydrating yourself, the water in your body will continue to keep the skin supple. Finally, remember to stretch & exercise your face. Prolonged facial expressions can cause permanent damage.

Once you've worked on these factors, it's time to pick the right wrinkle cream for you. Pay special attention to the ingredients, and compare what's on the big name bottles and what's on the others. You may find yourself saving money choosing a cheaper brand as long as the ingredients are the same. And judge whether or not the money for a dermatologist and prescription cream is justified based on your condition and desired results.

In the end, remember that you only have one chance at good skin. Be wise in selecting what products you try, and be realistic in the results. If your skin has been damaged by years of neglect or exposure, it will not recover in days. Be patient as you try different creams, and take care of your skin as best you can. It's never too early or too late to start.
