Let’s face it, none of us like to admit our age and we all try hard to hold on to the way we looked in our twenties. As a result, we are always looking for the best skin care products. There are thousands of cosmetic creams, lotions, potions, ointments and oils, all of which have been touted as the best beauty treatment out there. But in reality, most of these creams and lotions are simply fragranced moisturizers. Smelling good is not always synonymous with good skin care.

For those who are seriously interested in taking care of their skin, they need commitment and persistence. Before rushing out to buy the best skin care cream, it is essential that you start taking some care measures at home. Good skin care at home means avoiding too much sun, washing your face gently every day, and applying a suitable moisturizer regularly.

It is important to avoid the sun because the invisible ultraviolet light can seriously damage the skin and induce the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, and even cancer. You should always wear protective clothing to cover your arms and a hat to protect your face. Today, there are some fabrics available that can reflect ultraviolet light. For those who cannot live without the sun, a sunscreen is a must.

Other factors that can help prevent the development of premature skin aging include quitting smoking. Tobacco is known to accelerate skin aging and increase the formation of wrinkles. Most people who smoke always look 10 years older than their real age.

However, for the best skin care you need to use a cosmetic cream. The problem is knowing how to choose the best skin care products from the wide range available in stores and on the Internet. You might think that the most expensive would be the best, but it is not. Often the price is a reflection of the advertising costs used to promote the product rather than the cost of its ingredients.

And it is the ingredients that you should check before buying creams or lotions. Check the label on the tube or bottle to see what is included in the product. As a general rule, the best skin care products are made from natural ingredients. This means it’s best to avoid products with artificial fragrances. You should also avoid creams that contain mineral oil, parabens, and alcohols.

On the other hand, ingredients that have a beneficial effect on the skin include Xtend-TK and Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10. Both substances promote skin rejuvenation and counteract the effects of aging.

So if you want to retain that wrinkle-free, youthful complexion, the advice is simple. Avoid excessive sun exposure, quit smoking, and choose the best skincare products by looking at the ingredients on the label.
