How to choose the right anti-aging cream

Our expert notes that the anti-aging effect of creams should ensure the neutralization of the processes of photoaging that occurs under the influence of sunlight, and biological aging that comes over time. Therefore, the most important components of a cream that can be called anti-aging are: sunscreens, antioxidants, stimulating acids and peptides (amino acids, oligopeptides), hyaluronic acid, vitamins A, C, E, and lipids.

Before going to the store, first, find out your skin type. As we age, oily skin often becomes normal, while sensitive skin often becomes dry. Also, do not forget about the influence of the phase of the menstrual cycle on skin type. Therefore, for accuracy, it is better to contact an experienced cosmetologist. At the same time, you will find out what your skin needs most – moisturizing, nourishing, regenerating or protecting.

Ultraviolet will accelerate the oxidative processes in the skin, so any day cream should have a sunscreen SPF filter. For mature, a level from 15 to 30 is suitable. This will save the dermis from excess pigmentation.

Don’t forget to check the ingredients. The order of the ingredients indicates the effectiveness of the anti-aging cream. The first line should contain only natural ingredients. Peptides, vitamins of groups A and C are also desirable.

Select all anti-aging products based on age. For example, creams for 30-year-old skin and for 50-year-old skin are very different in composition and concentration. The use of “foreign” tubes can lead to the opposite effect and even burns.

Test the probe. The cream is applied to the inside of the elbow, where the skin is thin and sensitive. If redness is noticed after a couple of minutes, the product is not suitable for you.

How to apply anti-aging cream and at what time

Before using your anti-aging cream, read its instructions. Also find out the frequency of application. For example, there are creams that do not have to be smeared in the morning and evening, several times a week are enough.

Use, first of all, begins with the preliminary preparation of the skin.

• Regular washing is not enough – additionally use tonic and milk.
• For maximum therapeutic effect, apply the cream along the main massage lines.
• Never rush: rub gently, gently and slowly.

What composition should be in an anti-aging cream

The “correct” anti-aging cream contains many moisturizing and nourishing ingredients that have a powerful effect on skin cells.

Hydrofixator (hyaluron and glycerin) are responsible for the level of moisture in the skin.

Oils (shea and jojoba) nourish the skin and retain moisture in it.

Antioxidants (green tea extracts, goji berries) protect cells from oxidation and harmful substances.

Proteins (amino acids and collagen) are responsible for the production of their own collagen in skin cells.

Vitamin A causes cells to renew themselves.

IMPORTANT! Anti-aging creams should not contain alcohol!
