Wrinkle Repair Lotion

by Crystal Kimball

Sometimes, as a woman, it’s hard not feel like you just can’t win when it comes to the chronicles of beauty… wrinkles, sun damage, and sagging being the assembled antagonists in every chapter!  When you’re in your 20s nothing makes you look more stunning than sun-kissed skin, but as we all know, nothing is free and eventually we all have to pay the price!

Modern advances have yielded numerous options available to reverse damage caused by the sun, including crèmes found at your local drugstore, medications that can be prescribed by your physician, as well as, prevailing medical procedures.

Common over the counter treatments and prescription treatments contain alpha hydroxyl acids, some examples being glycolic acid and lactic acid.  These acids strip the damage skin cells causing the skin to appear smoother. Typically these products require regular application for several months before improvement in the skin is visible.  Also, due to the removal of the damaged skin, newer skin is exposed and more vulnerable to further sun damage, so adequate sun protection is highly recommended when uses these products.

Medical procedures used to repair sun damage are being developed and expanded every day.  Though these procedures are typically more costly, results are visible sooner, if not immediately, and many offer little to no down time.   Some more common procedures utilized today are:  laser resurfacing, intense pulsed light therapies, chemical peels and other cosmetic treatments, including Botox.

Even with the abundance of options available today, the best alternative to battling sun induced aging is to stop the damage before it ever happens.  That healthy glow we strived to get in our 20s was merely our skin trying to protect itself.  So help a skin cell out and protect your skin!

“Image is Everything” –   Your outer-self i.e. your skin is just as important as your inner-self. A lot of people have started to realize the importance of skin care. This is one reason why the market has been flooded with so many skin care products.  Many of the skin care products seem to provide excellent value. We generally tend to associate good looks with skin care. However, there is more to it than just that. There are multiple benefits associated with a healthy and glowing youthful skin.

First, it has a good effect on you. It makes you feel fresh and energetic, not to mention the self confidence. You will find yourself able to do more work and are quicker with everything that you do. More importantly, the freshness adds to your joy in life. So healthy skin too plays its part in building confidence. Yes, you can attribute good genetics for having achieved that (however, do leave a little credit for the skin care products too).

Moreover, this flow of positive energy is contagious to the people around you and you will notice that even they are friendlier with you. You get more respect from others. They are more receptive to you. They themselves experience the freshness that you are exuding. They love working with you and for you. Yes, that’s how it works. It’s known as “The Law of Attraction” Some people might even ask you about the skin care products you use. Thus, healthy skin can be beneficial in creating a pleasant and friendly environment around you. On the other hand, ignore your skin care and health will only make you look unattractive and dull. You will not only look dull but also feel dull. Your productivity is reduced and you will not attract  positive energy . In fact, it might lead to premature aging.

Thus the importance of skin care cannot be ignored. However, skin care is not that difficult at all.  There are a lot of skin care products available and you can choose the ones that suit you the best. There are various ways in which skin care products are classified and the knowledge about these classifications will help you understand them better and make the best choice for your skin.

* The first is based on the skin type – so you have skin care products for oily skin, skin care product for dry skin, skin care products for sensitive skin etc.

* Another way is to categorize skin care products based on their use e.g. you have moisturizers, cleansers, skin care products for exfoliation, toners etc.

* Then you have skin care products for treatment of various skin disorders i.e. skin care products for acne, skin care products for stretch marks, skin care products for anti-aging   etc.

* Another classification is based on the ingredients e.g. herbal skin care products, synthetic skin care products, cosmetic skin care products etc.

However, skin care products are not the only way to treat skin care. You also need to implement some basic skin care procedures in your day to day life such as a healthy diet, drink plenty of water and exercise.
