Best Anti Aging Products

The best anti aging creams use vitamins A, C and E and beauty experts have recently put several products to the test.

Myths About Anti Aging Creams

Before we get to the products, let’s debunk a few myths.

1.The best products cost more.  UNTRUE! It is not necessary to spend hundreds of dollars on an itty bitty tube of wrinkle cream. Many many drugstore brands outperform chic designer creams.  Most creams are around $20 with a few that venture into the $50 and $70 range–which you are only considering because they’ve been tested for efficacy so you know you aren’t wasting your money.

2.You need a billion products to fight aging. UNTRUE! Yes there are literally dozens of anti aging product categories.

There are: eye creams, firming creams, line fillers, plumping creams, serums, peels, moisturizers, night creams, wrinkle smoothers etc… It’s endless.

How to Create an Anti Aging Regimen

The good news is you don’t need a product from every category. A basic anti aging regimen should include the following:

1. Sunscreen (prevents wrinkles)

2.Anti Aging Serum (prevents wrinkles and treats existing wrinkles)

3. Anti Aging Peel (sloughs off old dead skin to keep supple glowing skin on top)

4.Night Cream (restores skin and minimizes existing wrinkles)

Other products are used based on your individual needs and the extent of aging.  For instance, if your eyes are a problem area, you would add an eye cream.

Best Anti Aging Products

Products that experts recommend in these areas (based on consumer and lab testing conducted at major magazines such as Redbook, Ladies Home Journal and Good Housekeeping–this is article is a compilation of their recommendations) are as follows:

1.Sunscreen: Look for a sunscreen that provides good UVA/UVB protection, otherwise its worthless. This is critical to preventing wrinkles. Neutrogena Age Shield Sunscreen with Helioplex is often recommended by dermatologists.

Note that it is much easier to prevent wrinkles than it is to treat them so a sunscreen is the number one thing you can do to keep skin looking young.

And don’t forget to put a dollop on the back of your hands to keep them looking young!

2.Anti Aging Serum: Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Serum is a soothing serum that will fight aging and keep new wrinkles from forming. It can be found online and at Target (although it is known to sell out as it’s very popular now, which is why I’ve been ordering mine online).

3.Anti Aging Peel: L’Oreal Advanced Revitalift Glycolic Peel Kit. This is only available online (as far as I know) and I personally use and love this peel. It completely refreshes your skin leaving it glowing and supple. It is not as strong as a professional peel, but is excellent for home use.

4.Night Cream: The  best anti aging night cream is Vichy Laboratories  LiftActiv Retinol HA Night Cream which dovetails with the body’s work to repair itself while we sleep.

Using anti aging creams from these four categories will minimize wrinkles, prevent new wrinkles and produce radiant skin. The key is to do it, to invest in the products you need and then use them consistently.

You will see results. I am using these products and I have been impressed with the results I’ve seen. I have minimal signs of aging but some fine lines are starting to sprout here and there. These creams are taking years off my face. It’s really amazing what anti aging vitamins can do to rejuvenate skin.
