The Best Help Against Wrinkles And Signs Of Aging

By Jen Hopkins

While it is true that nothing can stop the natural process of aging, is it possible to age with at least fewer wrinkles? Some people who have used anti-wrinkle creams believe it is possible, while those who have tried other products were disappointed with the results, or, more accurately, the lack of results. Here you will find the best of the best and the worst of the worst.

Two of the worst are Fusion Beauty Lift/Fusion Eye Lift and Dermitage. The Fusion product received two stars or less from several different reviewers, and, according to 75% of consumers, does nothing to mask or reduce wrinkles. Its main problem is that it does nothing except separate you from your hard earned cash. Dermitage claims that its product reduces signs of aging in as little as 60 minutes, and, if you believe their ad, can have grandma looking like a supermodel by the time it works its magic. Ultimately, it does not live up to the promise and received an average rating of one star.

On the flipside are two products that we deemed the best of the best. Fake Bake Self-Tanning Lotion provides a natural looking tan and reduces toxins in the skin. A youthful glow always makes one look (and feel) younger. Another winner is Juliet's Anti-Aging Cream. Give it 24 hours and soon you'll feel how soft and luxurious your skin can feel.

While there are several options available commercially, there are also things you can make at home that are just as effective. Here are a few of the best. Egg whites applied to the skin under your eyes will help reduce wrinkles there, and odor-free castor oil can be applied there, too, as well as the throat. Combining the contents of three vitamin E capsules, two teaspoons of plain yogurt, a half teaspoon of honey and a half teaspoon of lemon juice also works quite well when applied to the face using a cotton ball. All you have to do is leave it on for ten minutes and rinse it off.

These are the worst of home remedies. A mixture of 1/4 cup comfrey infusion, 1/4 cup witch hazel and 10 drops of patchouli essential oil is effective in treating wrinkles. This can be stored in a clean bottle and applied on affected areas with a cotton ball, this remedy didn't work at all, just made peoples faces wet.

While your best choices for commercially available products are the Fake Bake Self-Tanning Lotion and Juliet's Anti-Aging Cream, there are other methods that work. The egg whites and castor oil help your eyes look less tired, and the vitamin E mixture softens and smoothes the face.

The worst of both categories were A mixture of 1/4 cup comfrey infusion, 1/4 cup witch hazel and 10 drops of patchouli essential oil is effective in treating wrinkles. This can be stored in a clean bottle and applied on affected areas with a cotton ball for the home remedies. For the commercial remedies the worst were:Fusion Beauty LiftFusion Eye Lift and Dermitage

Now you have heard about the best and worst ways to fight against wrinkles and other visible signs of aging. No doubt, though, you will encounter many other products promising to make you look younger, and as a result of their product, more attractive. To avoid wasting money on products that don't fulfill their promises, remember this little bit of common sense: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. - 16755
