2008-08-12 Word Count: 495 Category: Beauty

Many people cringe when they hear the word 'wrinkle cream,' and mistakenly think that these creams are only for the aging population. Most people would be surprised to learn, however, that starting a skin regimen that includes using a good wrinkle cream in your mid-twenties or thirties can prevent troublesome wrinkles from occurring in your later years.
When conducting a search for the best anti aging wrinkle cream (through online wrinkle cream reviews, beauty magazines, or speaking with your dermatologist), it is important to consider the current condition of your skin. Wrinkle cream reviews will usually be categorized according to different skin types: oily/acne prone, dry, or combination skin.
People with oily skin that is prone to breakouts should avoid heavy creams with ingredients such as mineral or baby oil. Instead, the cream should have no added oils and be specifically recommended for acne-prone skin. Look for labels that say "for acne-prone skin."
People with dry skin should look for a heavier cream for both night and daytime. Because people with dry skin have a higher likelihood of developing premature wrinkles and age spots, it is important to start incorporating wrinkle creams into the skin care regimen at a younger age.
People with combination type skin, that often have dry cheeks and some oiliness on their face's T-zone, will have no problem finding online reviews of wrinkle creams for their skin type, as most people have this kind of skin. Those with combination type skin should use wrinkle creams sparingly, around their eyes or on their dry areas.
Try to find creams that will exfoliate, and contain natural citrus extracts or alpha-hydroxy acids. The most effective wrinkle creams do not have strong dyes or fragrances, and they are made with sensitive skin in mind. You will want to take note of how you react to the wrinkle cream and begin first by using it just a couple of times each week until you are accustomed to the change you are making.
If you've chosen the right wrinkle cream, it will definitely not sting your face, and it will have a luxurious, gentle feeling. If your use of a cream irritates your skin, stop using it right away, and wash it off with some water. Be careful that the cream doesn't get into your eyes. Internet forums and print magazines will help you find out how the product feels and what is its consistency, as well as how to treat your skin if you have an adverse reaction to a cream.
Start early with the wrinkle cream that suits you best, and your skin may be able to avoid some age-related skin problems. For greater protection, don't forget to use a sunscreen with the highest possible SPF rating. Remember that if you are careful with your skin now, and pamper and protect it, the more happy and healthy you and skin can be tomorrow!
